Both these at-home IPL devices from Philips are top quality. However, the Prestige has several additional features and functions which make it easier, safer and faster to use. The Advanced is a decent choise for zapping your face and smaller body areas if you have fair skin. But for legs, torso or whole body sessions you’ll spevnd far less time zapping with the Lumea Prestige.A few pointers: don’t expect immediate results as not all your hair will be at the same point in its growth cycle at the same time, so you’ll have to space out treatments every 14 days for six weeks to ensure all the hair is targeted. You’ll also have to defuzz with your regular method before beginning, so the machine can zap the follicle properly (or deal with the smell of burning hair). Those with darker skin tones shouldn’t use IPL, as it could cause hyper-pigmentation of the skin. Philips Lumea Prestige Both the Advanced and Prestige have flash windows to match different body areas. The Advanced models come with flat attachments in different sizes and they do a good job. Advanced:The large 4cm2 flat body and small 2cm2 face flash window with integrated red filter do a good job. During Our Testing of Philips Lumea Models, we focused to determine the best choice for you according to its performance, benefits and user experience. We know there are many types of Philips Lumea devices, so we tested more than 10 types of Philips Lumea models to ensuring effective and efficient hair removal treatment. And I do rather like the idea of the extra specialist windows, with filters and flashes to better treat stubborn bikini spider-legs and underarm hairs. And it’s a clever marketing strategy by Philips because models with these extra windows tend to be more expensive. But in reality, the Prestige works equally well without them and you’ll still get excellent results. So, the cheaper BRI950, BRI945 and BRI944 models with just the body and face flash windows give you everything you need to treat your full body for excellent results. The essentials: Large curved-in body & the small flat precision window (with all models)

I use Philips Lumea prestige BRI956 to maintain my results every month’ Sara said. Her body is hairless now but she continue using it every month because she is obsessed with it. She likes that she finally can remove all body hair without pain in just minutes. This version of Philips Lumea includes everything you need to remove hair body at home safely and effectively. It has a safety filter to protect your skin and your eye during the treatment. On a similar note, Philips says the bulb on the Lumea Prestige lasts for up to 450,000 flashes, improving on the 250,000 flashes delivered by the Lumea Advanced and matching the lifespan of the Lumea 9000. That’s a lot of flashes and enough to treat many hundreds of legs, which, based on Philips’ usage recommendations, should mean the device will keep your body hair at bay for decades. I score all at-home devices 5-stars for lamp lifetime when they give enough flashes for 15+years of monthly whole-body sessions. They get top marks because it’s many more flashes than you’ll ever need. So, although the 450,000 flashes Prestige sounds far better than the 250,000 flashes model, in reality you’ll never run out with either model. With the Philips Lumea Advanced, it flashes every 3.5 seconds. This means using the device on the highest intensity level, you can do a thorough full leg in about 20 minutes, and full body in over an hour.With 5 intensity levels and safety features, Philips lumea advancedis ideal for removing unwanted hair from large areas. You can change the light intensity in just a press or let the device do it for you. The latest 9000 series models come with more IPL flashes from the bulb. You get almost double the flashes than the older models with 450,000 vs 250,000 flashes. All models will give over 200+ or 15 years of monthly whole-body top-up sessions. And for most people, you won’t need top-ups that frequently. That’s because once you’ve done a year of maintenance top-ups, your skin stays smooth for several months at a time, and even up to one year. So, it’s likely you’ll need top-ups just a couple of times per year. Therefore, although 450,000 flashes sounds far better than 250,000 flashes, in reality you’ll never run out with any of these models. Shape & design Philips Lumea 7000 BRI923 Advanced is the latest and top-rated version of the 7000 series. Contains 3 attachments for the body, face, and bikini and is the only version of this series with Special treatment bikini hair, it also comes with the Lumea IPL app for follow-up and skin analysis.
