What's Included
Intense Pulsed Light Treatment
The SmoothSkin Bare works by transferring light energy through the skin's surface with 100 flashes per minute. The melanin in the hair shaft absorbs the light energy, and this same light energy converts to heat energy below the skin's surface. This stops hairs from growing back.
Who Can Use SmoothSkin?
SmoothSkin is suitable for those with skin type I to IV according to the Fitzpatrick Scale. It is not suitable for use on blonde, white, grey or red hair.
Since light blonde, grey and white hair do not contain enough or any melanin, IPL treatment will never work on these hair colours. Red hair contains a different type of melanin, which is also not responsive to IPL.
SmoothSkin is also not suitable for dark skin tones, as it can cause skin damage such as burns, blisters or discolouring.
