• Clean your skin before applying laser therapy. Don’t put any lotions, skin care creams or deodorant before the treatment. You can only apply laser on natural skin.
• Trim the hair of the area you are going to treat before laser therapy. This will ensure that the laser is reaching the roots of the hair follicles.
• Choose the right energy setting for your skin. Philips Lumea for men kit does this automatically. Don’t worry, you won’t suffer from skin burns thanks to the adjustable energy settings.
• Drink enough amount of water before your laser treatment. we suggest drinking enough water 4 to 5 hours before laser therapy to minimize pain.
• For treating large areas of your skin, you might need applying a numbing cream. It will reduce the pain so you can finish full body hair removal without feeling discomfort. Most people don’t apply creams. If you suffered from serious pain, you have to apply the numbing cream or take rests during your treatment.

Laser hair removal Vs Philips IPL hair removal for men

After knowing more details about the IPL hair removal for men by the Philips Lumia service devices and the laser removal of hair at clinics, let’s compare between the two options to help you choose the best for you.

In terms of cost:

-Laser hair removal treatment is only suitable to be done in salons, clinics, and laser centers. This can be pretty pricey as mentioned before. A single session would cost typically about 200£ in the UK for a lower part of the leg.

You will usually need about 8 sessions or more and the prices will add up. Usually, getting permanent hair-free laser hair removal legs cost more than a 1000£. Electrolysis hair removal will cost even more in terms of time and money.

-On the other hand, A fully functioning IPL home device will cost you about 400£. Philips Lumia price is a lot less more than laser hair removal. The Philips device will last for a very long time, as it is designed to work for about 20 years. You will be making a great investment for the future. After using the device for the first few sessions you will use it only once every few months.

In terms of privacy:

-Laser hair removal usually involves going to separate sessions in clinics or centers. This process will not involve complete privacy as you need to expose the areas of skin you are treating.

–Laser hair removal at home using the Philips IPL devices is not the same. You will have complete privacy doing the sessions in your home. You will choose the time suitable for you and you will save yourself more time.

In conclusion, this comparison is likely not going in favor of laser hair removal centers. We think that the Philips Lumia devices offer an amazing experience in terms of cost, privacy, and time consumed.

Laser treatment is a better choice for people who have an open budget plan for hair removal. If price is not an issue then it is an excellent choice for you. 

Unfortunately, this is not the case for most of us where the money matters. You can get a nearly permanent hair removal with some sessions every few months then the IPL devices are the best for you. Smooth skin lasts for months and the device should work fine for a very long time for a reasonable price.
