Laser hair removal is known as the most effective method of hair removal available – but also as the most expensive. Luckily, there are a number of more convenient and less costly home hair removal options that can deliver great results too.
Philips is one of the leading brands on the market for IPL devices. And one of its bestsellers, the Lumea IPL Hair Removal 8000 Series, has just been reduced from £489.99 to £349.99 – you can also get it from Boots or John Lewis (£389.99).
The device promises one year of hair reduction, with up to 92 per hair reduction in just three treatments. It comes with a sensor that automatically adapts to your skin tone, and multiple heads for head-to-toe treatment.

As it’s advised to shave before treatment, to help the light beam focus on the hair root, you can also get the eos Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream, available at £9.13 at Amazon. The IPL machine has a 4.5 rating from across 244 reviews.
A very pleased shopper wrote: “This is a life saver for me, I’m a Latina with very dark, thick and noticeable body hair and since I started using this my hair just doesn’t grow anymore in the spots I go over. After three to four treatments, there are parts of my legs, arms, and other areas I’ve treated that just don’t grow hair anymore, which is amazing.”
Another added: “This thing is actually working, genetically I am not far from the Bigfoot hair-wise. Shaving had always been a nightmare, and I absolutely hated summer but I’ve used it four times so far, and I have hardly any hair left on my body – it’s a miracle!”

A third commented: “I should have bought it sooner, I struggle with ingrown hairs and had to shave basically every day but this is a game changer! Underarms and bikini results were fast, it took a few more treatments for legs but so worth it.”
There has been little criticism of the product, but some customers weren’t as impressed with the results: “It’s been over 6 months and I did exactly what the leaflet said, but my hair grows back exactly the same and looks exactly the same. Very disappointed.”
