PHILIPS Lumea Prestige IPL Hair Removal Device with SmartSkin Sensor, 4 Intelligent Attachments for Underarms, Bikini, Body and Face Plus Satin Compact Pen Trimmer, BRI949/00, White, (Pack of 1)

Product Information

And I do rather like the idea of the extra specialist windows, with filters and flashes to better treat stubborn bikini spider-legs and underarm hairs. And it’s a clever marketing strategy by Philips because models with these extra windows tend to be more expensive. But in reality, the Prestige works equally well without them and you’ll still get excellent results. So, the cheaper BRI950, BRI945 and BRI944 models with just the body and face flash windows give you everything you need to treat your full body for excellent results. The essentials: Large curved-in body & the small flat precision window (with all models) Both devices work in the same way. Place the window flush against your skin and press the flash button. After it flashes, move it the height of the flash window to the next spot and flash again. You can keep the flash button pressed for continuous flashes as you glide the window along your skin. The Prestige is slightly more powerful than the Advanced. You must still complete the start-up stage and do top-ups with both devices. But the extra power with the Prestige means it’s sightly less effort. That’s because, if you have fair skin and can use the highest intensity levels, after you’ve finished your start-up treatments you’ll need fewer and less regular top-ups to maintain your smooth. Philips Lumea Advanced or as it also known as 7000 series is an excellent category of hair removal devices that contains many features and is the most popular category among women.
