With the Beurer IPL, I have found many similarities with the Lumea:
Promise: The promise is always the same: to find almost exactly the house dune efficiency dinstitut lasting hair removal. Between working full time and my mother status of 4 young children, it clearly suits my organization
Instructions: They are clear and do not generate understanding of difficulty. The documentation provides the one hand a comprehensive booklet with comprehensive information and secondly a procedure that goes to the main thing to be immediately operational. You really take the time to read the many cons-indications. I have a lot of moles and javoue that made me hesitate Note: Use of the device is prohibited when exposed to sunlight. This is a factor to be considered since it is precisely on holiday in the sun that most of us the most perfect hair removal on account! We must therefore organize themselves accordingly. For cons, the device, even if he is rather designed to women, does not exclude men (which was the case of my Lumea)
Discomfort: Flashes are unpleasant but not really painful. They generate sensations of intense heat and stinging on my skin.
Noise: The fan noise during the use of the device is reminiscent of a hairdryer. It does not cover all still sound environment but if looks lon eg television at the same time, this will force to significantly increase the sound.
Light: It's not me personally embarrassed but my husband finds the light too bright flashes when it is off.
Price is still high for this type of product. The Beurer IPL is more expensive but the Lumea is supposed to last longer.
But there are also significant differences between the IPL and Lumea Beurer:
Skin test: In addition to the empirical determination of the intensity desired depending on the color of the skin and hair / hair, Beurer has to cross this information with an automatic recognition test of the skin by the device. I am a brown skinned and not surprisingly, I fall on the maximum level.
Save time: The big disadvantage of Lumea was the time needed to process all the desired area (leg + armpit in my case) due to the following constraints:
. * Epilator covers a small area of skin => Beurer the IPL covers a larger penalty area => small time savings
. * Applications must overlap (by the way, I found a little difficult to be 100% sure to have well covered the entire area given the small size of the screen) => the contrary, the record Beurer IPL recommends not overlap, the non-irradiated areas will in any case a catch-up session at the next meeting => time-saving small
. * Seconds recharge is needed between 2 flashes => 3 seconds between flashes with 2 Beurer with the possibility to keep the button pressed to not lose time => moderate saving time
. * Some areas (for me, it's those close to the bone) are less naturally compatible with the protective ring and require small repositioning => same with the IPL Beurer
. * Autonomy is not unlimited and loading time is 1:30 For one session, I had to recharge the device 2 times => Beurer IPL plugged in => In the end, I havent put quune half hour treat leg + armpit. This is more than what largumentaire provides but this is a great time saver compared to Lumea I had to spread the sessions 2 nights because of the loading time.
- Handling: The wand to apply the flash is well in hand and is not too heavy. Nevertheless, the fact that the device is plugged in and the hand shower is so connected by a wire slightly reduced maneuverability. We have to find on a traditional outlet and adapt a little movement. This does not seem nevertheless a big flaw in comparison to the advantage provided by the autonomy unlimited.
- Nomad: Heavier and delivered without protective cover, the Beurer IPL will travel much more difficult than the Lumea.
