    We’ve been talking a lot about IPL over the last few weeks and now that we’ve covered how it works and how to use it, it’s time to answer the question everyone wants to know: “is it worth it?”

    bh’s Sam has been using the Philips Lumea Precision Plus for the past two months and in the video above, she shares her thoughts about it. If you’re in the mood to read, we’ve also listed her key points below.

    Have you tried the Philips Lumea Precision Plus yourself? Please share your review with us here. We love hearing about your experiences!

    Key point #1: “After just one month, I could tell there was less hair.”

    Key point #2: “It comes with different attachments so I can do my legs, underarms, bikini and face using the one device.”

    Key point #3: “It doesn’t hurt at all! You’ll just feel a little warmth from the light.”

    Key point #4: “It’s cordless and I love the fact I can do it in front of the TV.”

    Key point #5: “It is an investment. But when you break down the costs and how long it will last (over twenty years!), it comes to about $3.50 per treatment.”

    I'm going to have another at the one I have tucked away here. It's a different brand but I did find it made a difference when I tried it before.

    This would be just perfect. Would love to try

    Sounds like great value if results are there, and the instructions on usage are clear.

    Platinum Ms 25 Apr 2017 12:21 PM

    This would be on my wish list

    Yohanna 24 Apr 2017 12:57 PM

    I am sure now they are very good

    I like the sound of it but wonder whether my hair is too fair for it to work.

    Pixie96 29 Sep 2016 11:49 PM

    Painless hair removal sounds good to me.

    Sootyhere 5 Jul 2018 3:04 PM

    Yes I'll put my hand up for this kind of hair removal.

    Stephanova 27 Jul 2016 9:59 AM

    I would love a device like this! Sam's review answered a few questions on my mind, such as how many flashes the device has. I like how she broke down the cost.

    Heidi366 10 Jul 2016 4:45 PM

    I would love to be able to factor this into my budget at the moment, as I really love the idea of longer term results and hate shaving. The only thing I get waxed these days is my eyebrows, which are totally worth it. I have tried the in salon treatments for permanent hair reduction in the past, but the location and time factor at the time didn't allow me to continue with the treatments, which were starting to show very good results

    Becstar 9 Jul 2016 6:18 PM

    I really do love the sound of this beauty device! I actually want one very much, the results are so fabulous!

    Sparkle 77 4 Jul 2016 10:01 AM

    I would love another IPL update or better still a battle of the brands and see which brand comes out on top for 2016.

    preciousia 29 Apr 2016 12:38 PM

    i have done IPL... it hurts.. this doesn't hurt? maybe it is not as powerful as the salon's equivalent?

    Sootyhere 5 Jul 2018 3:04 PM

    It probably isn't as powerful but well worth a try.

    josella432 28 Apr 2016 10:26 PM

    I love the sound of this if it really is painless. That's what I've been told about epilating too, and nope, I feel pain.

    Wouldn't mind an updated review on the results a year on.

    Sparkle 77 28 Apr 2016 9:28 PM

    I'm hearing you Sam, I'm not keen on dropping my undies either! I been waxing myself for years but I need to up the game plan. I am 43 this year and I don't want to look like a hairy goat so I need to get serious.

    I have dark hair, does it work on dark hair? Does it work well enough for me to buy one?

    sunjeanie 28 Apr 2016 12:41 PM

    They're so pricey though. The fact that it doesn't hurt is great, I I have no idea if they're really worth it.

    Yohanna 13 Dec 2016 6:15 PM

    I am following closely at all the reviews out there... to see.long term results

    before buying, must do heaps of research lol

    duality 3 Apr 2016 8:34 PM

    I'd buy it but I am sceptical to say the least. Most home devices are just gimmicks and stop working pretty quickly. If they had a 2 year warranty and a money back guarantee I'd buy.

    talk-a-lot 3 Apr 2016 11:21 AM

    I want one of these hair removal devices, it sounds like a wonderful investment in my books, thanks for the review.

    Nas007 9 Nov 2015 10:48 AM

    If it really doesn't hurt I'm in. I'm sick off waxing, shaving and threading.

    TheUglyDuckling 23 Jul 2015 10:47 AM

    What's the warranty like on this particular device? I haven't had much luck with other Phillips appliances and devices I have purchased in the past. They tend to not last past twelve months...
