Philips Lumea laser hair removal.... recommended?

[orangina]

Hi all,

I am about to bite the bullet and buy one of these... I invested a bit of cash a few years ago into laser hair removal in a salon (Soprano method), which was great, but after a few years and no top ups (local salon closed down), I need to more or less start again in certain areas. So I thought I might as well buy a unit....

Has anyone bought one? Which one have they bought, and have they had good results? All experiences, good and bad, gratefully received!

Thanks.....

I don't think there's any difference in power as such, it's more down to window size, speed and number of flashes. Home ipl is not the same as salon laser treatment and I personally do not think goggles are necessary but ymmv.

If anyone fancies selling me one if it didn't work for them, I would be very grateful as I can't afford to buy a new one

I don't wear goggles do I need to??
