New Delhi, June 16, 2025: Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology and innovation, proudly announces the launch of the Philips Hair Dryer 8000 – a next-generation breakthrough in premium hair care.

Releasing over 200 million ions, including water ions, the device helps lock in moisture, reduce frizz, and deliver a sleek, polished finish, all while preserving up to 100% of hair’s natural strength.

At the core of this innovation is ThermoShield Advanced sensors, which detect ambient temperature an impressive 200 times per second and automatically adjusts drying heat to maintain optimal, hair-safe levels, protecting hair from heat damage. Combined with Dual Airstream Technology for ultra-stable airflow, the result is faster drying, smoother styling, and visibly healthier-looking hair.
