I've used my Philips Lumea twice on my bikini line but nothing seems to be happening

[Cristiane]

How am I going wrong? I shaved the area before using it each time. I have pale skin and dark hair. Seems to be flashing properly and I am using it on strength 5

Does it work on other parts of your body?

It's working really well for me on my underarms and I'm going to do my third treatment today and start my bikini line as I was too wuss to do it before

How long should it take before you see results?

i have a remington ipl and when i used it on my bikini line it needed a good few uses before i noticed anythning so keep doing it

It takes a couple of weeks before the hair falls out - how long ago did you use it?

I thought I might start seeing results after first go! I have v little hair under my arms but it does seem to be working a bit better there. I did my legs and not much result - much fairer hair there though. I really wanted it for my bikini though so
I hope it will work there

Patience - expect to be in for the lng haul ...

would you all recommend investing in a Phillips Lumea then?

Sorry, Nigellas

Thank you - i will!

Can I use it more frequently than once every two weeks to speed up the process?

Cristiane - you may be better off with the other Philips Lumea thread which is a bit more active -
