Say goodbye to the mental burden of hair removal: this Philips device promises 92% fewer hairs after three sessions.

A razor slipped into the suitcase at the last minute, an appointment at the institute to squeeze in between two meetings, waxing that keeps putting off the moment to get down to it…Waxing is a real mental burden for many of us. But in 2026, a beauty innovation promises to change all that: pulsed light at home.

Everyone has their own habits, whether it’s shaving, waxing or going to the salon. But now there’s an alternative that gives you smooth, soft skin without the strain or pain.

Philips Lumea: when waxing becomes a pleasure

Philips has designed its Lumea range to meet this precise need. These Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) devices offer controlled, comfortable hair removal right in your own living room. There’s no need to book salon appointments or plan sessions weeks in advance.

The range adapts to every need, with several models: Lumea IPL 7000, 8000, 9000 and 9900. The latter is the most popular thanks to its performance. What’s more, the device is cordless, making it easy to use on a daily basis.

“Waxing at home, getting out of the constraint of repeated waxing and freeing yourself from a definite mental burden.”

Lumea 9900 promises long-lasting results. According to the brand, it ensures soft, smooth skin for up to 18 months, with 92% hair reduction after just three sessions. As a result, a few monthly touch-ups are all that’s needed to maintain results.

Rapidly visible results

The device features 4 dedicated tips for different areas of the body. An audio flash counter helps avoid forgotten areas. In short, everything is designed to simplify your routine.

• Smooth skin for years on all areas of the body
• Wireless operation for greater freedom
• 4 tips for different zones
• Audio counter so you never miss a zone
• Only a few monthly touch-ups required

With just a few at-home sessions, you can see a reduction in hair growth in just two weeks. This rapid action appeals to those who want concrete results without delay.

How Intense Pulsed Light works

Intense pulsed light epilators are easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Bikini line, legs, underarms: all areas are accessible. Just a few minutes are all it takes to treat an area and achieve clear skin.

The technology is based on a simple principle. Lumea’s gentle, safe light targets the hair root. It gradually puts hair regrowth into a resting phase, reducing hair growth over time.

A skin tone sensor helps adjust intensity for more comfortable use. This feature makes the experience safer for all skin types. As a result, use remains accessible to as many people as possible.

SkinAI: technology to accompany every session

With SkinAI technology integrated into the application, Lumea makes the experience even more intuitive. The app allows users to track their progress over the course of their sessions. It also offers personalized advice tailored to each user.

Features include the Skin Selfie Analyser and the Body Hair Analyser. These tools enable you to track the progress of your skin and hair removal sessions. A reassuring and secure experience.

A simplified daily beauty routine

Intense Pulsed Light hair removal takes the hassle out of shaving and waxing. No need to think about buying new blades or making an appointment. The routine becomes lighter and less time-consuming.

For those looking to lighten their mental load, this solution offers real freedom. A few sessions are all it takes to achieve lasting results. The time saved can then be devoted to other priorities.

The Lumea 9900 epilator is an ally in simplifying everyday life. Its cordless operation and specially designed attachments make it easy to use. From now on, smooth skin is no longer a problem.
