I am a fan of pulsed light hair removal. Having had the opportunity to test a device before (the Gillette Venus Naked Skin Braun), I could actually report on their effectiveness. What attracted me in it, is precisely what bothered me in the previous: the time spent with legs including bread frost, the size of the device and, in use, redemption of tubes. None of that here: the unit load on the electrical current and then use wireless, first good point. It is therefore more manageable, second good point. Where I spent a good half-hour leg, it is now ten minutes, which is perfect. Especially my legs, it must be said, have much left with the first unit. Because what I liked about the Philips Lumea is the face and jersey use. Let me reassure you right away, there are 3 adapters: no question of using the same trick for 3 zones! So I "attacked" this delicate part of my anatomy that I will name "down the upper lip" or more colloquially "mustache"; I also added a few hairs rebels that appear here and there on my chin for 2-3 years. First time a little scary: shaving. Because yes, for the device to work, you must shave! Needless to say I was not particularly comfortable with the idea, seeing me already become freak if "it would not work" ... However, once overcome this fear, everything happens very quickly: in less than a minute, you flashouille area. Method: The device is placed against the skin, is expected qu'apparaisse green light to the rear, and is triggered. I suggest closing your eyes, especially when you are on the face area, the light is less dazzling than that of Venus Braun, but still. the flashed area is slightly red but the tingling sensation passes quickly (and it is a reactive skin tells you). Spend 15 days: this is the expected time to start over. The pleasant surprise: very little hair grew back over the lip, I shave again, however, a little on the chin, these bristles being more rebellious 3-4. Always so quick, I flashed, I tidy. For there is also the final point: I loaded the camera after half past one, I used it for a half leg meeting, two face-jersey meetings, and it is still in working condition. 17 days after its debut, the results are very positive. Why not 5 star you tell me then? Because I have a St Thomas side and I like to see to believe. It is true that for the moment I saw the first effects of the new zones (on the legs, it only take over from the other device), I now expect to see 30 days 45 days and more! BALANCE after 3½ months of use: Extremely positive! On the face, I am now moved to the rhythm of one session per month and again I do not even need to shave before. next step: every 2 months. For the legs, is very sparse and irregular, but, again, I do not do more than once a month. Finally, side autonomy, it is very significant to have a device that recharges every 4 uses! Only downside that persists: the position to flash is not very easy when going behind the calves and requires some awkward contortions ...
