FDA cleared · K243453

“Cleared” means the FDA found the device substantially equivalent to one already legally sold, for a stated use. It isn’t proof it works for you. What clearance means

What it’s cleared for

Philips Lumea IPL is indicated for the removal of unwanted hair for a single user. It is also indicated for the permanent reduction in hair regrowth, defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9 and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime.
