Philips Lumea or Tria 4x?

[BeansOnToastWithCheese]

I'm going to take the plunge and finally do something about feeling resentful every time I shave my legs. But should I go for the Philips Lumea or the Tria 4x? Or something else altogether? All input welcome!

I've got fair skin and dark(ish) hair - sort of mousey brown on my head but is thicker and darker on my legs. Also want to do my bikini line, underarms and moustache!

I've been debating the same thing. I hope you get some helpful feedback.

I have the Lumea and I’m so impressed with it. I wish I’d bought it sooner. I have black hair and olive skin and was unsure if it would be as effective. I’ve done legs, arms, underarms, upper lip & bikini area and I can see a massive reduction in hair. I barely have to shave my legs and underarms now whereas before it would be an everyday job. Good reduction in hair in other areas but I haven’t been doing them as long.

There was another thread where someone mentioned the tria laser, apparently it's pretty painful!

I've had the Phillips lumea for a couple of years and it's still going. It works well for me, though sometimes I forgot to use it to do my monthly top ups. The hair on my legs and armpits grow back really slowly now even if I forgot to use it for a month or two, but I need to do my bikini area at least monthly or it just goes back to its original state.
