Welcome to the Boots Smooth Skin system
What the Boots Smooth Skin system
can do for you
The Boots Smooth Skin system is an Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL) home use device for
the removal of unwanted body hair. If used
correctly it will provide long-lasting permanent
hair reduction.
The Boots Smooth Skin system also gives you
flexibility; you can use it when it’s convenient
for you.
How does the Boots Smooth Skin
system work?
The Boots Smooth Skin system works by
directing an extremely short, intense pulse of
filtered light into the skin. The light is absorbed
by the coloured pigments in and surrounding
the hair and disables the hair follicle preventing
hair re-growth.
The hair needs to be darker in colour than the
skin so that the hair follicle absorbs light.
Using the Boots Smooth Skin system for typically
6 – 12 treatments will give the best results and
help to achieve permanent hair reduction.
Do not use the Boots Smooth Skin system more
than once a week on the same area.
What to expect when using the Boots
Smooth Skin system
Every time you trigger the unit it emits a
bright flash of light that is only visible at the
head of the unit when pressed against the skin.
For many people some discomfort is normal
when using the Boots Smooth Skin system.
At most you should expect a feeling of heat and
tingling in the skin when triggering the light
pulse followed by localised redness in the skin.
Results vary between individuals. However
between 7 and 14 days after the first treatment
you may start to notice hair has fallen out whilst
washing in the bath or shower.
Some hair re-growth may occur and the new
hair growth will be less dense, finer and lighter
in colour than the original hair. This re-growth
is perfectly normal and should be expected, hair
removal will not be totally complete until after
the full treatment period.
