PHILIPS LUMEA EPILATOR BRI958/60

The PHILIPS Lumea IPL 9000 Series BRI958/60 is an IPL hair-removal device designed for convenient at-home treatments. It features SenseIQ technology, a SmartSkin sensor, 5 adjustable light-energy settings and 4 intelligent attachments for the body, face, bikini area and underarms. It can be used both corded and cordless and includes a rechargeable battery for added flexibility. 

The PHILIPS Lumea IPL 9000 Series BRI958/60 brings IPL hair-removal technology into a convenient home-use device. It is designed to help reduce hair regrowth over a series of treatments while allowing users to manage their routine at home.

The device uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. Philips states that IPL works by creating a contrast between the pigment in the hair and the pigment in the skin. The BRI958/60 is designed for naturally dark blonde, brown and black hair and skin tones from fair to dark brown (I–V).

SenseIQ & SmartSkin Sensor

The Lumea BRI958/60 features SenseIQ technology with a SmartSkin sensor. The sensor reads the skin tone and helps indicate an appropriate light setting, while the device provides 5 adjustable light-energy settings for more personalized treatment.

4 Intelligent Attachments

The device includes four specially designed attachments that correspond to different body areas. The intelligent attachments are shaped to fit the contours of the treatment area and provide tailored treatment programs.

Body Attachment:
The curved body attachment has a 4.1 cm² treatment window and is designed for the legs, arms and stomach.

Face Attachment:
The flat face attachment has a 2 cm² window and an additional filter and is intended for areas such as the upper lip, chin and jawline.

Bikini Attachment:
The curved bikini attachment has a 3 cm² window with an additional filter and is designed for the bikini area.

Underarm Attachment:
The curved underarm attachment has a 3 cm² window and is designed for underarm treatment.

Corded & Cordless Operation

One of the convenient features of the BRI958/60 is its ability to operate both corded and cordless. The rechargeable battery allows cordless use, while corded operation can be used when additional continuous power is preferred.

Slide & Flash and Stamp & Flash Modes

The Lumea BRI958/60 offers two application modes:

• Slide & Flash: Designed for treating larger areas more quickly.
• Stamp & Flash: Designed for smaller or more targeted areas.

This makes it easier to adapt the treatment method according to the body area being treated.

Hair Reduction Performance

Philips also reports median hair reduction figures of 70% on the bikini area and 67% on the underarms under its stated conditions. These are manufacturer-reported results and should not be presented as a guaranteed result for every user.

Treatment Schedule

Philips describes an initial treatment phase of 4 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments approximately once a month. The exact routine should follow the current instructions supplied with the device and the Philips Lumea IPL app. 

Suitable Skin & Hair Types

The BRI958/60 is designed for skin tones I–V, ranging from fair to dark brown, and naturally dark blonde, brown and black hair. IPL relies on sufficient contrast between hair pigment and skin pigment, so it is not suitable for every combination of hair and skin color.

Important: Always check the official Philips user manual and skin/hair compatibility guidance before treatment.

Safety Features

The BRI958/60 includes an integrated UV filter, an integrated safety system designed to help prevent unintentional flashing and a SmartSkin sensor to assist with selecting an appropriate light setting.
