Who is IPL suitable for?
Philips Lumea IPL is suitable for many adults aged 18 to 65 years with naturally dark blond, dark brown or black hair, and fair to medium brown skin tones.
Details: IPL works by targeting pigment in the hair root, which means the combination of hair color and skin tone plays an important role in how effective the treatment is. Philips Lumea is most effective when there is sufficient contrast between the hair color and the surrounding skin. Lumea is designed to support a wide range of users, with built-in features that guide safe and effective use.
Philips Lumea is not suitable for light blond, red, grey or white hair, or for dark brown to dark skin tones. Before starting treatment, always check the compatibility guidelines in the user manual.
People with dark hair often see stronger results, while suitability varies depending on individual characteristics. With its guided routines and personalized settings, Lumea helps you adapt treatments to your needs and build results over time in a safe, controlled way.
