My skin is very light and my hair is brown and medium coarse. I use this device for almost 7 months with good results. I really wanted a substitute for my expensive spa treatments and especially for my armpits and bikini line where the hair grows faster. After 5-6 treatments only half the hair grew back. And since my 8th session the results are good. Regrowth is slower and thinner especially on underarms. I was fed up rashes with razors, I am satisfied with light flashes. I think in few months I'll get what I am looking for, not shaving anymore. Don't expect instant results, it takes time.Don't give up :)

Je suis plutot contente du resultat jusqu'ici, meme si il reste une bonne partie des poils, apres 8 mois de traitement ils sont vraiment plus fins beaucoup moins nombreux (surtout apres rasage).
Par contre, je ne recommande plus cet appareil à mes amis depuis que le prix des lampes a augmenté, $129 et 129€ en France (où je retroune bientot)... je ne suis plus tres sure de l'investissement à long terme...

Merci de votre avis

Bonjour Julie,

Nous apprécions votre commentaire et sommes heureux que vous soyez contente des résultats obtenus avec LUMI.
Concernant le prix des lampes en europe, nous prenons votre remarque en considération.
Cependant n'oubliez pas de regarder le prix des autres lampes des machines du même type.
Nos concurrents principaux proposent pour 84€ sans frais de port, trois lampes de 700 flashes chacune. Cela fait 2100 flashs contre 4000 flashs pour notre lot de 2 lampes à 129€. A 0,04€ le flash contre 0,032€ le flash pour LUMI, nous restons 20% moins chers que la concurrence. Nous insistons aussi sur le fait que la technologie utilisée par LUMI permet à ces 4000 flashs d'être d'une intensité et d'une qualité parfaitement constante tout au long de la vie des lampes.Également, notez que les frais d'expédition sont compris dans le prix.

Good results on my legs. I am definitely not a hairy girl but my skin is damn sensitive and shaving irritates my skin. Flashes are fairly gentle and after 1 or 2 hours of moderate redness my skin comes back to normal. Lumi is pretty efficient and after 4 sessions I can see my hair growing thinner. I cannot afford thousands quid of institute sessions, it's a nice alternative. I'm better off with lumi.

Je suis assez satisfaite de mon LUMI même si les lampes sont dispendieuses. J'ai fait 6 traitements à date sur le bas des jambes et les aisselles et j'ai remarqué au bout de 2 mois que les poils semblent moins noirs et plus fins (on dirait qu'il y en a moins aussi mais je ne suis pas sure du pourcentage). Pour ceux que ça intéresse, j'ai utilisé 2 lampes et j'entame la troisième en ce moment (à quand les promos dessus, evoDerma????). J'ai du appelé le service a la clientèle pour savoir comment bipasser le système pour obtenir le niveau le plus fort parce que le niveau 1 est trop faible a mon avis (les 2 premiers traitements on dirait que rien ne se passait). Je donne 3.5 ou 4 sur 5 a cause du prix des lampes.

Hi it’s Julie again! I am satisfied with LUMI because there is less hair where I used it (legs, bikini, armpits) what is left looks thinner and lighter. It works well on my bikini (ligne du maillot) and I called the evoDerma customer service (their people are nice and helpful) and they told me not to use it for a Brazilian treatment (not safte according to them). The only downside is you cannot use LUMI on the face (again not recommended by the evoDerma people even if they give you a very nice pair of glasses for the treatments) so my rating will go down one star for that. For people interested to know, I’ve been using LUMI for about 6 months now and I have used about 3 lamps so far and I think I will need another 2 or 3 for touch-up from now on.

I have had salon IPL treatments with success. I have now had 3 sessions with my Lumi on my hands, fingers, toes, bikini line & armpits.

I have yet to see any reduction in hair at all, however I hope that PERHAPS, with another 3-5 sessions, I may get some hair reduction.

Of course, I don't expect it to be anywhere near salon effectiveness. The machine just doesn't have the power for that, and they don't advertise that. But I did expect at least VISIBLE results after 3 full sessions.

Regrettably, my 30 day warranty period has expired so I can't return it, so I just have to hope with many more sessions, I might get some results.

$350 + tax is a fair amount of money to spend for absolutely no results to date. I will re-post another review after 3 more sessions.

A few users are not compatible with light-based hair removal...

Most IPL users see results after the first 3 treatments although, IPL doesn’t work on everyone (whether it be professional or home-based systems). People who have had professional laser or IPL in the past will notice that the results of home-based systems are similar, but not the same. The skin needs time to adjust to the lower intensity levels of a home-based system, before it can start being affected by it. Just as with many other medications, beauty products and cosmetic procedures, IPL doesn’t always deliver results. Some other factors which may be affecting the outcome of your treatment:

- Hormones
- Medications
- Skin-type & hair color variations
- Light pulses are not intense enough to deliver results

If you have already had laser treatments in the salon, you will know that these treatments are not 100% permanent. No IPL or laser hair removal treatment should be considered permanent in removing hair, whether it is done professionally or at home. Lasers and IPL treatments offer permanent hair reduction, with different rates of success depending on the system. There is a trade off between the safety and efficiency of a home based system versus in office treatments. When used properly and with a longer time frame, you can expect to reach high percentages (50-70%) of hair reduction with LUMI. We currently have real satisfied customers who have happily traded their expensive salon appointments for LUMI.

I bought a LUMI about 3 months ago. I was hesitating in the beginning and thought that the IPL flashes would hurt and or my skin would burn after. I decided to take a chance and ordered the machine. The flashes surprisingly did not hurt at all, I felt warm and tiny pinching after each flash. I did the bikini and armpit areas and it took me about 5 minutes per session. After the session you feel as if the skin was a tiny bit sunburnt and that goes away fully. The machine is very straightforward to use. I bought a generic aloe cream and was using it on my legs (I just started doing legs) and it works almost as good as the cream that the machine comes with but is much cheaper than reordering the cream (Luminante whatever they call it).

So my overall ratings:
Ease of use: 5/5

Support: 5/5 I called them once to check for my tracking number, but then I found it in the email... never needed to call again though, it was self-explanatory

Effectiveness: 5/5 After 6 sessions on my bikini area and underarms most of the hair is completely gone, the growth cycle of the remaining little hairs have slowed down enormously and I'm waiting to do a couple more sessions to get all of it out. Now started on my legs and am very excited about it.

Recommend to a friend? Hell ya!!

I got the LUMI about 3 months ago. I had been doing professional IPL hair removal on my lower legs and bikini previously (I had a lot of ingrown hairs) and decided to try a home-based device for a change ….Don't get me wrong, I am very satisfied of the results I got from my salon so far but budgetwise it made sense: even with the initial $500 pricetag (I know, sounds expensive but for a salon treatment, it costs +$99 per 1/2 leg per session, do the math yourselves) + all the extra costs of lamps, I calculated that if this machine worked, well then it would be worth it (figure if it didn't work i could always use their 30 days guarantee). The reason why I picked this brand instead of the others is because of the manufacturer's claim of being faster and having the biggest treatment area (although this last point is debatable since **** is about the same size) and that the results are comparable to salon treatments (again, highly debatable… results were decent but in no way, as efficient as salons results…. more about that later) I got the LUMI to do mostly touch-up on my legs. I also have started using it on my upper legs for about 4 treatments and armpits twice. My hunch is that I will need more sessions than at the salon to reach the same results. At first, it felt like a toy (seriously no pain at all or very minimal warmth sensation at most and this is at the highest setting, nothing compared to the heat and pinching of salon treatments) so I was not sure it was working but i've shed hairs on the treated areas about 1-2 weeks after each treatment….. So the verdict? I am keeping it. It seems to work fine and I like doing my legs at home when i feel like it. But then again I have realistic expectations, I am not waiting for some miracle from a device with what, 1/5? 1/6? of the power of commercial machines? It's good for touch-up and it is working on the areas i've just treated. This is a good alternative for me (It does help that I am the "right candidate" aka pale skin with dark brown hair).
Attention: if you think that this device will remove all your hair forever, think again. (Unless you go through electrolysis: think needles and painful operations). It is not as good as professional/ commercial hair removal machines but if you are tight on budget and want reasonably good hair reduction, this is a sensible alternative to shaving every other day.
I am giving this product between a 3 star 1/2 and a 4 stars.

I've been looking at a couple of laser and IPL machines for home-use and to be honest, I was getting cold feet about getting one. In the end, after debating for a while, my final choice was between the **** and the evoDerma device. In the end, the good feedback I got from my friend made me buy the LUMI instead. Like the company claims, it is pretty easy to use (just turn it on, select your level, press the start button and flash the skin) and the treatment area is fairly big compare to the others devices I checked. I had 3 treatments so far on my legs and I can already see some visible results and my skin feels softer. The only thing that is a bit annoying is the sound it makes when it is on (sounds like a blow-dryer specially when it is in treatment mode) although it seems normal for these kind of machines….But overall, I am satisfied with the results.

I’ve been using LUMI now for about 10 weeks. Already I have started seeing a difference, the hair left seem thinner and there are less of them (I had about 4 treatments). I can't wait until the day there will be no more shaving or waxing ! The way this is going, in 6 months time I should be hair free (fingers crossed). I used the device on my legs and armpits. I plan to start on the bikini line soon. I will let you know in another couple of months what would be my final verdict on this machine.

I love my new machine! Got at the beginning of the summer…. Definitely one of my best buys this year, so far, so good! I really recommend it to anyone interested. Check out my review:
