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

Product Information

You do have to start with a shaved clean skin and then all you have to do is press and hold the button and in speed mode it will continuously flash as long as you move it along the skin. I have found that IPL laser results are effective and long lasting as long as you use this right. Go by the skin tone graph and use it weekly, unless skin irritation develops. On ankles and shins, try pivoting the device 90 degrees and positioning the window vertical or at an angle. This makes it easier to fit over the uneven surface. You can also squish your skin/calf up to the window with your free hand. Left: too bumpy, red light says no! Right: Angled just a bit to cover the window – white light says Go! On shins, position the window at an angle or vertical against the shin bone Cover-up and avoid tanning and sun exposure after your session. If you don’t there’s a higher risk you’ll experience the rare home IPL side effects. Effort & results It's cleared for use on the whole body — underarms, legs, bikini line, and even face — and all you have to do is press a single button to activate it, so it's super simple to use. The directions advise to use it on clean skin and that all visible hair should be removed through shaving prior to treating the area — this is very different from professional laser hair removal, which requires there to be short, visible stubble on the area. Once you plug it in, the device automatically powers on, and you're ready to go. To use it, you lightly press it against the area you want to treat and press the button. The device has a smart sensor and only allows you to activate the IPL if it registers a compatible surface and skin tone, which is made clear by the button turning from red to blue. Even if you press the button without the device giving you the OK, it won't work.

I also use it to scrub off the last of Vita Liberata Body Blur (review here) so I have a smooth surface to apply a fresh coat. Talking of Body Blur, shade Latte is perfection! DELICATE BITS Very pleased that IPL does work on slowing the growth of hair. Smoothskin Bare Plus’ IPL tool feels very premium and is nearly fool proof on use. The device won’t flash if its not flush against your skin. This also makes it very challenging around your ankles where you can’t get the flash head flush with your skin without experimenting with weird angles. I do wish that it came with some kind of carrying case and a pair of sunglasses because the flash is still very bright against your skin. I would recommend this to all my friends and family. But does the low intensity compromise results? Find out in the full review anddecide if it’s a game-changing choice for you. In this tried-&-tested Smoothskin Barereview: The device will scan your skin and start flashing if your skin tone is suitable. (Very dark skin tones and grey, red or white hair won’t work.)TIP: The latest model – Smoothskin Bare+ Fit – comes with a smaller precision window. It slips over the fixed window, and creates a smaller opening which is easier to position and flash on more awkward areas. This product was tested on two people, male and female, for a six week period. Six weeks equates to six sessions (once per week) and is half the recommended treatment according to the included pamphlet. As it’s corded, you are slightly restricted when using it, but it didn’t feel any less effective. Our reviewer had never tried an IPL device before and found the booklet, with big, clear pictures and instructions helpful and easy to follow. Simply plug it in, attach the power bank and get going.

As a man I have always been hesitant to shave certain areas due to my tendency to develop ingrown hairs and bumps and this device requires you to shave the area first before treating any area. I put my trust in the laser and it did not disappoint. Even the areas that are still seeing hair growth, I'm very pleased to not see any ingrown hairs or bumps. It makes a noise from the second you plug it in. It’s not overly loud though, but a bit like a noisy hairdryer. No controls other than the flash activation button on the side! So it’s incredibly simple. Design & comfort The Bare+ is very fast. To start the flashes come fast and you can simply glide the device over your skin. However, after a minute or so as the Bare+ heats up, and so the flashes slow down. It’s still fast and personally I don’t mind that because I find the pace ideal to concentrate and get good, accurate coverage. And you’re done before you can get bored or tired anyway. TIP: As with all other machines, it’s guaranteed to work for at least as long as the manufacturer’s warranty (2 years). No devices will last forever but you should get decades of use from it. General usage and wear and tear can also affect how long the machine keeps working. Is the Smoothskin Bare safe?Smoothskin Gold became my best buddy. I didn’t need it for most of my body anymore and my hair had completely stopped growing. The only issue was my face. I have put this down to hormonal problems, I will always grow regular hairs on my face and just have to deal with it. This thing is so simple and easy to use; read the booklet, follow the instructions, but all you have to do is plug it in and use i t. It’s not complicated it’s actually very easy and simple to use. Unlimited flashes. You can also use it almost anywhere: on the bikini line, face, legs, arms, bum, tum and more Using this once a week has changed as that. Four minutes per leg. with minimal to no discomfort. Treating at a steady pace I don’t forget where I’ve treated and the heat doesn’t build up so it’s not sore. At most some minimal discomfort but again that’s if I rushed it. First, you must read the user guide, full manual and do a skin sensitivity test. The simplified 9 step user guide
