Hi
I just wanted to say that I have had great success with the Smooth Skin.I have used it 8 times on bikini -hardly any left now and the legs 9 times not totally gone but i could probably get away without shavig for a couple of weeks and what I had to shave would be much much less.
Im so impressed and wish it had come along 10 years ago.Luckily although in my 40s not grey yet hence the reason it worked well.I think I had the right skin for it,fair skin with dark hair.So I would highly recommend it for anyone like me.
A bit dull doing the legs but well worth the results.

I have never been so impressed with a product,worth the steep price.Its amazing how liberating it is not being hairy - now i just need to lose 2 stone!!

That's brilliant. Everyone, keep the positive results coming, this is a great incentive.:j

Thanks Jaine,

I have been exfoliating and having hot baths a couple of days later to open the pores since i satarted, But nothing is happening!! Its my forth go tommorow and hopefully something will happen by the weekend. My mate has got one and she said after the forth go she noticed only a fifth of the hair was coming back. I agree with you that this is something that is a continues treatment, i just hope to see something soon.! Thanks for you advice. :0)

Treatment diary update
7th August Pits on medium setting. (Not a good test as I'd epilated them fairly recently)

1st session - 22nd August - Pits, Nips, right inner thigh - fair

1st session - 23rd August left inner thigh and backs of both thighs - fair

1st session - 24th August rear bikini, left lower leg - fair

1st session - 28th August face, mid bikini, front thighs - fair

29th August - Woohoo! I've just taken a good look at my lower legs & I can definately see the difference between the treated & the untreated leg. There is still a lot of hair remaining but it's definately working. Of course it's too early to say if it will last but for me this is fantastic after only one treatment.:j

1st session - August 30th right lower leg - fair

September 4th - Have left my underarms to their own devices lately. Checked today & I can see large bald patches, yee haaa, it's working.:j

2nd session - September 13th - face - fair.

2nd session - September 19th - Pits, Nips, Inner thighs - fair

3rd session - September 20th - face - fair

2nd session - September 20th - back of thighs, rear bikini - fair

2nd session - September 26th - left lower leg - fair

Hi

I bought a machine last week and did some treatments last Friday.

I used to get laser-lightsheer done in a salon and i have very few hairs under my arms, on my face and bikini line. But the hairs that are there have been treated more than 10 times in a salon and when they grow they are quite long! And i have quite a lot of hairs on my knees and patches on my legs.

I bought the machine so that i could keep up the treatments at a much lower cost (instead of having to save a few hundred everytime i want to get treatments done).

My concern is, if i have had treatments in a salon before, how will this work for me. Will it improve what has already been done, or is it starting from scratch or am i going to reverse the effects of my previous treatments.

I think i read somewhere it is not recommended for people currently using salon treatments, however i have not had one for months.

I feel there is no where i can find expert advice on this and i havent found an answer online.

Please help!

Why don't you email Boots with your query? I find they answer with a few days.

Hi, has anyone found that all the hair has grew back after using? I used it for about 8 times and stopped for about 7 weeks. All the hair has grew back on my armpits, and most of the bikini as grew back, but there are still a few bald patches on my legs. Is this permanent??

does anyone know how nice boots are about returning these? am considering trying it even though it says not to use if you are of indian origin my skin colour is within the safe range wondered if i did have any problems how easy it would be to return it

They returned mine only because i burned my arm ( have round scar now from one of the little metal things) they checked my arm before this though so i would never use it on my face as maybe im just very sensitive. jem
