Philips Lumea- body hair, pcos

WishICouldSmile · 19/05/2023 22:26

Wondering if anyone has used the lumea for hair growth (pcos) and if it's worked well?
I'm also wondering if it's ok to use anywhere (from face to toes really 😁), on the general information it mentions a a few areas such as face, arms legs, bikini, but would it be ok to use on some stragglers on chest and back?
Thank you!

Bumping for you.

I have one I have never used, scared it will burn me!

I've used mine on stragglers and had no issue!

@Bringonthesunforthewashing It won’t burn you! Just shave the area first and start out on a low setting, you’ll be fine.

@WishICouldSmile No experience of pcos but I have a Lumea and it’s an absolute game changer. I got it 7 years ago, did my armpits following the directions and 3 months later the hair was gone and never grew back!! My legs also went hair free quickly, but I get the occasional patchy regrowth which I just zap and it’s gone again. You can use it anywhere on the body, a male friend of mine uses one on his hairy back!

It’s fine to use anywhere, if you can use it on your face (which you can with the face setting) then anywhere else is fine.
can’t comment on how successful it is for pcos but it has worked well for me for

Yes, I have pcos and a lumea. It works but it takes longer to see similar results. I knew this when I bought it because I had professional laser done on my face which also took more sessions. The hormonal aspect to hair growth just adds a layer of difficulty.

WRT lumea, results are mixed, it's great on legs and bikini area for me but it's hardly impacted my armpits. I also have one of those pcos trails of hair on my stomach and it does nothing for that either. You can use it anywhere on the body so long as the window thing can make contact, tops of toes or fingers for example are difficult to make contact on as there's not enough flat surface to connect on.

Ah thank you everyone.

I think I will try it out, and hopefully see some sort of results Smile

I also recommend Luke’s. I haven’t got pcos but do have hair that is very stubborn to waxing etc and this has bern
a game changer for me
