I was the Philips Lumea SC1996 / 00 IPL hair removal system provided free to test Philips available. The Phillips SC1996 / 00 comes in an ultra-chic packaging, which can detect the valence equal. It is used for hair removal on the face and body using light pulses. The package includes two different essays. The manual is very easy to understand. The handling is very simple. Before taking action specifically one should perform a skin test 24 hours. The areas to be treated are shaved and then you can start already. You choose the appropriate paper and then to work with the slide or flash mode. I prefer the sliding. In the application it is slightly warm and it smells slightly burnt, but is absolutely painless. Also no sign of skin irritation where I always had very big problems by epilation. After about two applications I could tell that the hair finer and softer were. And now after the third treatment I notice that the hairs were less. I'll continue the treatment in four weeks and am very curious how the growth of my hair changed further. Had previously also major concerns whether the promised effect occurs. Am now already convinced that the hair removal system Philips SC1996 / 00 works. A very big plus for me is that there is no follow-up costs because the lights do not have to be changed or replaced. I can really recommend absolutely this device.
