With gentle light pulses, the Philips TT3003/11 Lumea For Men
Never again deal with annoying stubble or ingrown hairs on your legs, arms, back, or chest – many men can now make this dream come true, because with the hair removal system from Philips, these wishes are no longer just pipe dreams. Visible hair reduction is possible after just two treatments spaced two weeks apart. After four to five applications at the same interval, one can speak of significant hair removal.

The device is simply guided over the desired skin areas, with the Intense Pulsed Light treating the hair. The hair is heated by the light, the melanin absorbs the heat, which leads to stimulation of the hair follicle. As a result, the hair is put into a resting phase, growth is stopped, which leads to the hair falling out itself.
The device is available in stores starting at a price of €442.96 and can be easily operated from home. The cordless design ensures movement-free operation, the long battery life offers a full-body treatment, and the charging time is only 1.5 hours.

For naturally dark skin, the use of IPL devices is generally discouraged to rule out risks and complications.

Beauty Sugar Sugar Paste
The Beauty Sugar STRONG Sugar Paste
Sugaring originally comes from oriental countries and consists primarily of water, sugar, and lemon juice. The firm texture is applied to clean and slightly powdered skin and finally pulled off again with the fingers. The hairs get stuck in the Beauty Sugar Strong sugar paste and remove the skin entirely of annoying and unwanted hairs. Unlike waxing, the hairs are not glued to the material and torn out, but pulled out gently and with little pain. In addition, the skin is exposed to fewer irritations during sugaring, as the sugar paste does not burden the skin and, unlike wax, is not too hot. The molecules of the sugar paste are tiny compared to a hair, so the components can penetrate the hair and pull it gently out of the skin. After the procedure, supple and soft skin remains.
Also with this method, hair growth slows down with each further application – therefore the skin remains smooth longer than with depilation and the application times can be extended. Regrowing hairs become thinner, less noticeable, and softer. This makes permanent hair removal really fun.
