Is IPL safe to use regularly?

Published on 24 August 2026

Yes, Philips Lumea IPL is designed for regular use when following the recommended treatment schedule.

Details: Philips Lumea IPL is designed to be used as part of a structured routine, starting with an initial phase once every two weeks, followed by maintenance treatments once every four weeks. This schedule is important for both optimal results and skin comfort.

Using the device more often than recommended does not improve hair-reduction results and may increase the chance of skin sensitivity. For this reason, it is advised to follow the recommended treatment schedule. 
When used according to the user manual, including selecting the appropriate light intensity and treating suitable skin tones and hair colors, Philips Lumea provides safe and effective long-term hair reduction for home use
