Philips Lumea 9900 Pro IPL Hair Removal Device

The Philips Lumea 9900 Pro is a corded IPL hair removal device for at-home use, with three area-specific attachments and app-based treatment guidance. Its suitability depends on your skin tone and hair colour, and the supplied guidance recommends a regular treatment schedule rather than one-off use.

At a glance

Three curved attachments are described for body, face and sensitive areas.
SmartSkin is claimed to read skin tone and suggest an intensity. The connected app is described as providing audio and visual motion guidance, coverage feedback and treatment reports.
Philips claims visible hair reduction after the first use and more than 80% reduction after two treatments. The listing gives differing treatment schedules and qualifiers, so these claims should be read alongside the instructions.

Pros and cons

Pros

Area-specific attachments and app guidance may help organise treatments across body, face and sensitive areas.

The app is described as offering step-by-step coaching, coverage guidance and progress reports.
