Anyone tried Boots 'Smooth Skin' home IPL hair reduction system yet?

DVS - Hubby hates his beard, he has to shave everyday and it causes lots of irratation and soreness no matter what lotions and potions he uses.

JAP200 - I do pull a bit of a face lolol, to get my top lip but do manage it. When I had it professionally done at the salon a few years back, their one did slightly overlap my lip so I have an darker line around the edge of my lip, similar to lip liner but barely noticeably.

You could always hold a piece of card over the lip area, or loosely stick a bit of tape on?

Week 10 on my chin and under chin area now done. Very pleased with my under chin area which was worse than my chin. This now has 3/4 of the hair gone. My chin just seems to have got worse tbh and doesn't seem to be doing a thing. I shall plod on to the 12 weeks and if nothing has happened I shall start zapping it twice a week instead and see how that goes. I'm determined to get rid of the bugggers!

Hi, just thought i'd let you know that the Smooth Skin is currently £249 and if you use code PYPL66 you will get an additional 10% off. The code says you have to purchase through Boots.com and use paypal but i paid with my debit card and the code still worked!! Got it for £224 ..... cant wait for it to arrive now so i can get started!! :T

can anyone tell me if it would be suitable for medium indian skin. I really have a problem on my chin and neck. I had laser treatment a couple of years ago and paid £400 but it wasnt really sucessfull on my chin area but did reduce my upper lip area. Since then my neck area has become more of a problem. Hubby is willing to pay for this machine for me and just wondered if any of you ladies can recommend it for my complexion.

^i wanted to get it, am indian with fair skin but when i went the machine says do not use even if you are within the slight skin tone limits but are of Indian, Pakistani, Caribbean origin, very annoying, not sure if it's worth the risk

ive just used the boots skin tool to check suitability and it suggests the dark setting so may be ok. Really thinking bout buying 1

Well, Boots have finally sent my order out, so should have my Smooth Skin on Thursday, but they are out of stock of the activator gel, so that was cancelled from my order!

Doubt I'll get much trying done without it - and I have yet to actually see it in a Boots near me - so suppose I'll have to wait until they get more in stock...

MadMac, the BSS machine comes with a tube of activator in the box, so you will be able to get started straight away!

Ah thanks, good to know!
