Rank #4 in Best IPL Hair Removal Devices 2026: 10 Ranked, Two at £109.99
Philips Lumea 7000 Series BRI921/00 IPL Device
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Philips Lumea 7000 Series BRI921/00 is an IPL hair removal device sitting at number 4 in this guide at £219.98, with a 4.3-star average from 1,445 ratings and a place at 6th in Amazon's IPL Hair Removal Systems category. The box carries two attachments — one for the body and one for the face with an integrated light filter — plus a Satin Compact Pen Trimmer, and Philips lists five light-intensity settings.
The number worth stopping on here is not the price but the timescale. The first bullet promises up to 18 months of reduced hair and then, in the same sentence, admits the packaging may still show a 12-month claim. Two bullets on, the listing describes an initial phase of 6 weeks treated every 2 weeks, while also claiming clinically proven results after only 2 treatments and up to 98% hair reduction after 4. That is three different points on one timeline, all printed by the same seller. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing as it stands; we have not tested this device ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Impressed. I've had professional laser hair removal which lasted about 8 years. I've been looking for at home solutions for two years as wanted to use on multiple areas which would be too expensive if went professional. I bought a Boots branded unit which was not great. I went for an unbranded ipl which was ineffective. I bit the bullet and invested in this following a friend's recommendation. It's brilliant. Less than three months in every area I have treated is in maintenance phase. The quickest impact was my legs which I've not had to shave fully since the first treatment. Really impressed.”
Verified purchase“Not happy. Bin using for 2 months now and no chnages. My hairs chin hairs are still growing as usual.”
