    I know it recommends once a week, but can honestly say the results were slow and now its nearly gone since doing it twice, plus I neer do what I'm told :)

    Nor do I! I finally succumbed and bought online with the paypal 10% off, mind you I negated some of the savings by having it delivered yesterday for £5.50. I did a patch test on my leg yesterday - ouch at the time but absolutely nothing since - so I'm thinking blow waiting 48 hours I want to start now!

    Is machine number three still functioning by the way?

    Oh Oh I just remembered
    I have a cunning plan, when I get mine I was thinking of only doing half my body so I can really notice if it is working or not.

    Lol...you're mixing me up....I'm still on machine number 1. :D

    That crossed my mind too. :rotfl:

    As far as I can gather on this thread the only person being rude around here is you ...

    On the subject of just doing half your body or an area, I have just been doing half my bikini line as I find it really painful!

    I have done 3 sessions and the hair is growing much slower on the area I have treated, the hair is also finer and it's definitely working better then my underarms which still have patches of coarse hair even after 7 treatments!

    Hey everyone!

    Just trying to purchase the Smooth Skin Online and when I input the paypal code in the Boots.com checkout it recognizes it but dosnt deduct from the total so im worried about checking out. Is this normal? Thanks

    Hi,
    I'm not sure, I wonder if Boots have realised this and put a stop to it. Once I added the code my total was deducted before I checked out.

    t deducted from the total when I did it. Have you logged into your Boots account (or registered one if you haven't got one already?)

    As Lobell said, you need to log in before the total will update. When you are in the basket and add the code, the page shoudl refresh and it will show the discount title but will have no discount applied. You then proceed to log in (or register) and the discount will appear in basket before you have to enter your payment details.

    Hubby started doing his beard the same time as me, but not seen much difference except for the two weeks I set it on high (eek-wicked wife) and went over it twice in one go - don't think he would let me loose again as he was a big wimp. when I did it for him like that within the week he had bare patches, but now he will only let me do it one time and only once a week and it seems slower.

    Can I just ask if there is a particular reason your husband wants to get rid of his beard hair? Does he get irritated skin or anything or does he want to live a life free from shaving?
