The Lumea 9900 Pro is built on Philips unparalleled expertise in light-based technology, with over 100 years’ experience in light tech and 25 years of research in IPL.

Philips, a global leader in health technology, today launches the Philips Lumea 9900 Pro, transforming at-home hair removal from an uncertain process into a personalized and rewarding self-care routine. The Philips Lumea 9900 Pro is the first at-home IPL with audio feedback and motion guidance that talks to you, giving you five years of smooth skin . As the world’s no. 1 IPL brand , Philips brings 25 years of IPL research and clinically proven results right into the home.

"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. The Philips Lumea 9900 Pro is proof that when health technology meets wellness, you create solutions that genuinely improve lives one smooth, confident moment at a time," says Dominique Oh, Global Beauty & Grooming Leader, Philips.

"The Philips Lumea 9900 Pro represents our commitment to empowering women with innovative health and beauty solutions that enhance their confidence and freedom. We understand that every woman’s skin, hair and self-care journey is different and a one-size fit 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,” says Wonsook Ko, Global Category Leader, Beauty, Philips.

The easiest long-lasting hair removal method by Philips Lumea

The first-of-its-kind IPL app by Lumea tracks your movements in real-time. As you progress along your legs and arms, the Philips Lumea 9900 Pro gives you live audio feedback to help achieve optimal coverage and technique. The audio cues plus visual prompts coach users through each leg session, transforming even first-time IPL users into confident experts from very first use.

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

For women who feel most confident being hair-free, hair removal can feel like an endless mental checklist of "when did I last wax?" or "do I have time to shave?", not to mention an endless chore when it comes to removing it. With >80% hair reduction after just two treatments and five years of smooth skin with minimal maintenance (just one session per month after the initial treatment phase), the Philips Lumea 9900 Pro breaks the often-tedious hair removal cycle, turning being hair-free into a rewarding self-care routine: no more frantic bathroom sprints or last-minute waxing appointments − and “yes” to spontaneous beach trips, last-minute dates, and always feeling your most confident self.

Self-care personalized to you

Every woman is unique and so is their skin and hair, meaning one-size-fits all hair removal can lead to unsatisfactory results time and time again. The Philips Lumea 9900 Pro has intelligent SenseIQ Pro and SmartSkin sensor technology which automatically determines individual skin tone and guides users to the optimal light setting, ensuring both maximum effectiveness and safety with every 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 journey.

Effective and safe – even on sensitive skin

Philips Lumea 9900 Pro uses gentle pulses of light that stimulate follicles in their growth phase to go into a resting phase. The hairs then shed and regrowth is slowed down. Bringing both clinical credibility and added safety assurance to at-home IPL use, the Philips Lumea 9900 Pro has EU-MDR and US FDA clearance⁸ , giving users the reassurance they’re getting salon-quality results they can trust for effectiveness and safety.
