Philips Lumea sold out at Boots (sadface), anyone know the cheapest place to get one?

[Fazackerley]

It was only 299 at Boots (discounted from 575!)

Here! Now it’s the old style, which plugs in. However, it’s the batteries that fail over time so I was more than happy to replace my newer style with this one last year.

Thanks, that looked brilliant but I am not a costco member! Just trying to work out if its cheaper to get that and join as well or buy from somewhere else!!

I had that one from Costco for Christmas - I think even with paying the extra £15 to buy it from the website it works out as a really good bargain. My legs are almost hair free after only 2 uses! It's a bloody miracle!

Amazon often have them on offer.

looks like its back in stock on boots website now?
I bought mine for £249 on black Friday from Amazon, John lewis also did the same deal a few days later.

Is it this one? It looks like it's in stock.
I've ummed & aaahed about getting one for ages!

Is the Lumea better than the NoNo?
I was thinking of getting one as waxing is a pain.

Amazon have them. Topcash back were doing 6% with boots I think.

ladyratterley what is your opinion, is it worth it ?

@Bosscastle the NoNo just trims the hair as I believe. The Lumea uses intense pulsed light to kill off the hair follicles.

I really want one, but it’s a lot of money if it doesn’t work.

I just don’t know!

Just had a look & they have the same model as the one in Boots on All Beauty for £259.99 if you wanted the BRI956/00.

I've done 4 treatments so far (you have to do them fortnightly) and the hair on my bikini line and stomach is growing back patchy. I haven't noticed a difference in my underarms, legs or chin. Will continue to do all 6 treatments but there is a 100 day money back guarantee so if it doesn't improve i'll send it back for a refund.

Grrrr can't use it anyway thanks to varicose veins, just checked now

I've had one for a few years, it's life changing.

I’ve not got one yet! Just keep thinking about it Pringle.

Plavemarking to see what others feedback is on them....

The reviews are pretty good. I’m nearly converted, especially with the 100 day guarantee.

I got mine 3 years ago. I have very pale skin, dark hair. Lovely strong thick leg hair! I have the ideal colouring for it to work.

I used it every 2 weeks for about 6 months and now do it every month to top up.

I no longer need to shave at all, not had a bikini wax since I started using. Those lovely single chin hairs all gone.

When I go on holiday I take a razor for the odd stray hair I might notice, but I can go a couple of weeks and not need to use it. Before I would have a wax a day before holiday, have slight red marks from that and within 7 days hair regrowth. It has been life changing!

That’s good to know.

Does it just do ‘bikini’ or can it zap the whole area for a Brazilian? Would it hurt?

You can do as much as you like, but it can sting.
Imagine some one pinging an elastic band at you, hard! Smarts but not painful.

Oh you're really tempting me Intothedenofvipers! I'm pale with dark hair.

I really really want one. It is just such an expensive purchase...... But I have been justifying to myself by thinking ,I would not have to spend a fortune on razors ,wax etc.

I had one years ago then sold it on ebay when I was broke.

They do work!

Thank you ladyratterley it's deffo out of stock at boots.

Will investigate the other links.

My chin is really bad I did book a laser treatment at a salon but the girl doing it asked me twice what my husband thought about my chin hair. I'm quite robust but it made me feel awful so I don't want to go back!!

OK I have it in my amazon basket! Just need to find card and it's mine!!
