“We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from decades of light-based technology research and transformed it into an intelligent product that works with you, not against you,” said Dominique Oh, Global Beauty & Grooming Business Unit Leader, Philips. “The Philips Lumea 9900 Pro is proof that when health technology meets well-being, you create solutions that are designed to improve lives – one smooth, confident moment at a time.”

“The Philips Lumea 9900 Pro represents our commitment to empowering women with innovative health and beauty solutions that enhance their confidence and freedom,” said Wonsook Ko, Global Category Leader, Beauty, Philips. “We understand that every woman’s skin, hair and self-care journey are different and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t lead to rewarding results. Now you can be coached and guided in your hair removal, helping you understand your results and stay motivated throughout your unique hair removal journey.”

The easiest long-lasting hair removal by Philips5

The Lumea IPL app, downloadable via the Apple App Store or Google Play, tracks users’ movements in real-time. As they progress along their legs, the app gives them live audio feedback to help enhance coverage and technique. The audio cues and visual prompts coach through each session, helping even first-time IPL users use the device with confidence from the start.

Long-lasting results (meaning good-bye constant hair removal!)

For women who feel most confident being hair-free, hair removal can add to an endless mental checklist –“when did I last wax?” or “do I have time to shave?” – and be an all-too-frequent chore. With more than 90% hair reduction after just three treatments6 and five years of smooth-feeling skin7 with little maintenance (just one session per month after the initial treatment period), the Philips Lumea IPL 9900 Pro system breaks the often-tedious hair removal cycle. No more frantic bathroom sprints or last-minute waxing appointments. Instead, users can say “yes” to spontaneous beach trips, spur-of-the-moment dates and feeling like their most confident selves.

Self-care personalized to you

Every woman is unique and so is her skin and hair, meaning one-size-fits-all hair removal can lead to unsatisfactory results time and time again. The Philips Lumea IPL 9900 Pro device has intelligent SenseIQ Pro sensor technology which determines individual skin tone and guides users to the recommended light setting, 8 for effective, comfortable and safe treatment. It also has smart progress tracking that provides post-treatment reports that analyze hair reduction progress, and personalized recommendations, helping users understand their results and stay motivated throughout their unique hair removal journeys.

Effective and safe – even on sensitive skin

The Philips Lumea IPL 9900 Pro device harnesses the safe and proven technology of Intense Pulsed Light, using gentle pulses of light that stimulate hair follicles in their growth phase to go into a resting phase. The hairs then shed and regrowth is slowed. Bringing both clinical credibility and added features for safety to at-home IPL use, the Philips Lumea IPL 9900 Pro device has U.S. FDA clearance.

Philips Lumea IPL 9900 Pro is now available for purchase on Amazon’s U.S. store, MSRP $699.95. The device comes with an extended five-year warranty with product registration.
