But one shopper managed to bag one for just £95 after finding it in the clearance section of their local branch.
The customer posted about the bargain find on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group yesterday.
Alongside two images of the product which had a £195 price label on it, they said: “Absolute bargain! £390 in Curry’s without an offer on.
“Scanned at £95 in Boots as the lady checked to see if any more offers had been put on it.”
The Lumea device comes with three attachments for body, face and bikini and a pen trimmer too.
Dozens of shoppers have given it five star reviews on Boot’s website.
One said: “I wish I had bought this sooner. After three treatments, I’m basically almost hair-free!”
Meanwhile, another added: “Amazing results. My skin looks clear and smooth. Highly recommended.”
