How does Lumi work?
Hair removal just got high-tech! IPL is a relatively new but well-researched technology that’s disrupting the hair removal industry, big time. Lumi uses intense pulsed light to target unwanted hairs at the root and destroy them with powerful light pulses (IPL), without burning or damaging your skin. With continued treatment, it stops hair from growing back for long-term hair reduction.
Over time, Lumi permanent hair removal totally takes the place of shaving, waxing, or whatever else you do as part of your hair removal routine – only requiring occasional touch-ups every few months or no maintenance at all.
Lumi IPL vs Traditional Laser Hair Removal
Lumi is a great alternative to expensive professional laser treatments. For a one-time cost of $169 USD, Lumi lets you safely achieve similar results to laser hair removal from the comfort of your home.
Both IPL and laser hair removal offer long-lasting, permanent results. Laser hair removal achieves this by using lasers to target hair follicles beneath the surface. IPL sends out a broad spectrum of pulsating light, allowing it to target a larger surface area. Compared to traditional laser hair removal, IPL is less painful, more affordable, and more suitable for sensitive skin. It’s also safe to do at home.

How to Lumi
Using Lumi is super easy and intuitive, but it can take some time to get used to. Here’s how to use Lumi to achieve permanent hair removal at home:
Before: Prep Your Skin
- Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before treatment.
- Shave any visible hair. (This preps your skin for treatment while keeping the hair follicle intact so Lumi can target it.)
- Make sure your hair is clean and dry, free of creams, moisturizers, or gels.
During: Treat Your Skin
- Plug your Lumi in and hold the power button to turn it on.
- Select your intensity level by clicking the power button. (If you’re a first-timer, stick with level 1 – your device will automatically start there.)
- Place the light window completely flat against your skin.
- Click the pulse button to treat.
- Move the device to a different patch of skin.
- Repeat until you’ve treated the entire intended area once.
- Turn off your handset and disconnect your device.
After: Care for Your Skin
- Use an aloe-based body lotion to soothe treated skin.
- Avoid sun exposure after laser hair removal.
- Plan on treating the same area 1-2 times per week for 12 weeks.
This is just a quick overview – your Lumi will come with a detailed user guide that should answer any questions you may have (and a lot of questions you didn’t even know you had!)

Will Lumi work for me?
Lumi works great for thick, dark hair. It’s also gentle enough to be used on sensitive skin, on its lowest intensity setting.
However, IPL is not a good fit for everyone. Since IPL technology works by targeting melanin in the hair follicle, it requires contrast between hair color and skin color to work its magic. That being said, Lumi is not suitable for all skin colors and hair colors. It may not be a fit for very dark skin or blonde, gray, or red hair – see the IPL Skin Tone Chart.
All Lumi handsets come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee – if Lumi doesn’t work out for you, send it back within 90 days and you’ll receive a full refund.
Lumi Testimonials
We’re not the only ones who think Lumi is the best. Thousands of happy customers have used Lumi to achieve permanent hair removal. Here are a few genuine Lumi reviews:
"The Lumi IPL handset is such a game-changer. After using it for 2 weeks, my hair growth has been reduced. It’s so easy to use, plus it’s safe. One of the best and most effective devices I have used." – Mona A.
"Say goodbye to painful waxing. You need Lumi! It’s easy to use, pain-free, and it REALLY works. I can tell a huge difference in hair growth between when I started this journey a few weeks ago and today." – Megan H.
“I’m loving Lumi! It makes my beauty routine super simple and easy. I used to wax at home but it was always messy and painful (not to mention very time-consuming.)
