SmoothSkin Bare Plus IPL Hair Removal for Body and Face - Black/Rose Gold

Okay, not laser-guided, but I love this!My previous model stopped working. Not sure why, maybe it got knocked when decorating the bedroom and moving things about.I decided to go for this model as it states it is much faster, and because it is smaller - is easier to do more of the body... No kidding! It took much longer than 10 mins to do the whole body. After a while, as it got hot it also got slower and slower, but I was aware this can happen as regarding my previous model. I simply disconnected for a few mins, let it cool, and carried on. I am absolutely delighted, as my previous model was large and too difficult/cumbersome to do the whole body. but with this little beauty, I did the lot! The fact I could do all areas of my legs was an absolute treat!Of course, whether it actually reduces hair growth, to be honest, it is too early to tell. But my previous model (by the same Brand) worked a treat, so no reason this will not work.I would advise getting some dark specs (sunglasses) though because the flash is 'extremely' bright sometimes and can hurt the eyes. I will update after 12 weeks to report if this does truly reduce or even stop hair growth, or at least get rid of the dark hairs.There is a more powerful model, but that is the same size/shape as my previous model, and more than twice the price. I can spare an hour to zap my body, but not hours...At this price, it is a luxury item. But you have to weigh up if the cost is worth it over need.

I bought this 3 years ago and continue to be very pleased with it. It makes a big difference to hair growth- much slower and more fine and at least 50% doesn’t grow back at all after the initial period of weekly blips. The best beauty purchase I’ve ever made.

Mine hardly flashed at all . Very disappointed as after paying all that money!! Thought it was me but after reading reviews I don’t think mine has ever worked properly. Thing is how do you return to seller ?

I have been super impressed by this device. I use it for upper lip, underarms, bikini line and legs, and I think the results have been fantastic.The first week I used it, I started to worry about how fast the regrowth was in the bikini area, and wondered if maybe the hairs in this area were just too stubborn. Within a day it was stubbly (not to mention itchy!) and I thought perhaps I'd undone all those years of faithful waxing. But the change in other areas was apparent almost from the word go. After about 3-4 weeks, there was hardly anything to shave anywhere before my next "zap", as I like to call it. I continued usage but have to be honest that I did forget some weeks and didn't actually make it to the end of my first 12 weeks without failing at the schedule, but the results are still there. Regrowth in all areas is minimal, and I'm sure that as long as I get back to being more disciplined about it the trend will continue. I'm really delighted.Only things I will say that I wish I could change:I can't quite get to all the parts of my bikini line that I'd like to. If you're a "Hollywood" waxer you csn only zap to a certain distance and you'll probably need to continue waxing the rest. But I'm still thrilled with how much less I have growing down there - I'm literally talking about the very intimate area which they tell you in the guide not to zap but I couldn't help giving it a go just in case.I do also find there is some discomfort with the level of heat. Other reviewers have said they feel nothing, I would say it does take some getting used to. But at no point have I burned myself. The one thing that did happen is I did exactly the same top lip area in quick succession and it hurt and went quite red. Thought I'd scorched the skin but it actually just faded within minutes. That said, if you're passing over the same area more than once, just give it a little break so it cools a bit and don't hold the device still and repeatedly zap.Started using : early Dec 2020Reviewed : mid March 2021Last used : 3-4 weeks ago (I'm very overdue a zap and do have minimal regrowth but still seeing results)Hair type : dark, average growth

In just few weeks I can see results, I'm very happy to use, is easy to use it 10 min and I'm finishing all body.
