Can IPL fit into a normal routine?

Published on 25 August 2026

Yes, Philips Lumea IPL is designed for convenient at-home use and can be easily incorporated into your regular self-care routine. 

Details: The time needed for a Philips Lumea IPL treatment depends on the body area being treated. Smaller areas, such as underarms or the bikini line, can usually be treated in just a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs may take longer.
Philips Lumea is designed with dedicated treatment modes and attachments to help treat different body areas efficiently and comfortably.

The recommended treatment schedule consists of one treatment every two weeks during the initial treatment phase, followed by maintenance treatments once every four weeks to help maintain results. Because Lumea is designed to treat larger areas efficiently, sessions can be completed comfortably at home. As hair regrowth reduces over time, less frequent treatments are required, making IPL easy to fit into a regular self-care routine.
