Photoepilator "Philips Lumia": reviews. Photoepilator "Phillips Lumia Comfort"

Any woman will agree that extra hair is a source of constant psychological, and sometimes physical, inconvenience. Especially it is felt when an outdoor attire or a swimsuit is worn. Following the wishes of the fairer sex, cosmetologists and doctors have developed many ways to get rid of unwanted vegetation on the body and face. One of such procedures was photoepilation, which in recent years became possible not only in beauty salons and medical centers, but also at home with a device such as a photoepilator. "Philips Lumia" (reviews about this equipment we will also consider in this article) has become one of the first devices on the market for hair removal in the home and has earned numerous recommendations from both female users and cosmetologists.

Photoepilation - what is it?

Photoepilation is carried out with the help of a light flux and allows you to effectively get rid of hair in virtually any part of the body. Its main difference from other methods of epilation is the absence of contact of the used device with the skin, and therefore the painful sensations during the procedure are reduced to absolute zero.

In addition to the fact that during the session, unwanted hair disappears from the skin, it also becomes more elastic and smooth, since narrow-beam light contributes to the production of collagen in the skin cells.

Photoepilation is repeated several times within 6-12 months. Each course is individual, but only with its complete passage, unwanted hair will not bother you for the next 4-5 years.

Principle of action of photoepilation

Photoepilation is performed using a special device - photoepilator. It gives powerful light signals that are absorbed by melanin, a substance that is at the root of the hair. Under the impact of these strokes the bulb is destroyed. Therefore, the darker your hair, the more effective will be photoepilation.
