Welcome to the Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system
What the Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system can do for you
The Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system is an
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) home use device
for the removal of unwanted body hair.
If used correctly it will provide permanent
hair reduction.
The Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system also
gives you flexibility; you can use it when
it’s convenient for you.
How does the Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
system work?
The Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
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
PLUS
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
PLUS
system more than once a week on
the same area.
What to expect when using the
Boots Smooth Skin
PLUS
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
PLUS
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 should 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.
