What the gurus are saying

This device earns strong praise from some gurus who swear by its results, while others find it works but falls short of expectations. One expert purchased it specifically to tackle ingrown hairs in prone areas like armpits and saw improvement, though not as much as hoped. Best suited for those with realistic expectations about gradual hair reduction rather than complete removal.

"I bought the Philips Lumea in 2017 to reduce the frequency with which I needed to remove my hair, especially armpits and other areas that are prone to ingrown hairs for me. [...] I wasn't entirely convinced by the results, it worked but not as much as I would have hoped."
