  • Hi everyone

    I thought I would let you all know that I have been using my boot smooth skin now for a while I am on my 6th session (it should be my 8th but some weeks don't have the time)
    I have noticed a big difference I think for once my money has been well spent on this.
    I am treating bikini line, legs, underarms and chin.
    Bikini line only has a few wee hairs left now by a few I mean you can count them there is only about five left and they are very fine.
    Underarms I have two hairs on one and one hair on the other:T
    My legs wow:D what a difference I used to have shave my legs every night and by the next day you could see black stubble appearing now I only shave the night before I am going to use my boots smooth skin as there is very little hair left you can hardly notice I mean there is only the odd patch of hair and again it is very fine.
    My chin well I only had about five coarse dark hairs growing and I think they are all gone apart from one very stubborn one but I will just keep zapping the blighter and hopefully it will be gone soon too.

    I am very pleased overall with the results and hope to be completely hair free for the summer, but I do find it so slow and boring to do my legs it seems to take for ever as I do my full legs.

    Hope this is some help to some of you who has just started using your BSS or thinking about getting one.

    Thanks rubyminx. Thats encouraging as like you say its boring to but if its showing results its well worth it .
  • Hi
    There is one thing I'm not sure about as I said in my previous post I have very little hair left now but for eg. my legs only have a few patches do I just zap the patches or still my whole legs? I am still doing my whole legs suppose I'm still a bit sceptical and waiting on the hairs coming back, so what do you think should I just do the hair I see or still the whole area:confused:

    rubyminx i think if it was me i just do the bits that have still got hair . If hair grows again just zap them again.

    I completed my 2nd treatment today. Same as last time really a hot slightly stinging sensation. Just as others have said it was gone within a second.Not noticed any difference from after my 1st treatment but obviously far too early to tell yet :)

    I've used mine twice and seen no results (I know it's supposed to take longer, but it seems like I'd notice something??). How long was it before you saw results? Using this little sucker is tedious, and I'm hoping it's worth it in the end!

    Hi Skibster
    You should start to see some bald patches after the 3rd session it is very tedious but once you start to see some results it makes you determined to carry on
