Yes, all SmoothSkin devices are safe and gentle enough to treat the entire bikini area (including the bikini line, mons pubis, labia majora to use the technical terms!) so if you want a Brazilian or Hollywood please feel free – just use extra caution to avoid treating the ‘inner parts’ of the bikini area, including labia minora, the vagina and anus as IPL is not suitable for treating these areas. If you’re using SmoothSkin Pure, Muse or Gold, this may also be a good time to turn on gentle mode.

Do not use the device directly on mucus membranes, the genitals or around the anus. These areas may have a darker skin colour and so to avoid injury they should not be treated.

Yes. All SmoothSkin devices are suitable for use on male pubic hair. We do advise using a little extra caution when treating – along with gentle mode if you have it available on your device.

Do not use the device directly on mucus membranes, directly on the genitals (pubis bone, perineum and scrotum) or around the anus. These areas may have a darker skin colour and so to avoid injury they should not be treated.

No. Never attempt to flash a SmoothSkin device near the eye area.

Yes, you can safely treat the face, cheek and jaw line, the upper lip, neck and chin areas. However, DO NOT use on eyebrows, eye lashes, the scalp, lips, nostrils and ears.

Smoothskin is not recommended for use on the male face or beard. The depth and thickness of this type of hair need to be targeted with a much higher level of energy to be effective, which means SmoothSkin is unlikely to produce the desired results. Hair density on the male face is also very high, and so there’s a chance of burns being induced by the device.

No. DO NOT USE near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels containing water. If your SmoothSkin device becomes wet, it should not be used. DO NOT use if the device has been exposed to water.

SmoothSkin Pure features the latest in IPL technology to deliver a powerful IPL treatment for long-lasting results. Combining speed with power, Pure scans your skin before each flash, delivering a bespoke IPL treatment ranging from 3 – 6 J / cm²,with three treatment modes to choose from to help you get the most from your treatments. We advise you use SmoothSkin Pure once a week for 12 weeks to start with, then drop down to maintenance treatments around every 4-8 weeks.

SmoothSkin Muse delivers IPL treatment tailored to you to maximise your results. With 10 energy settings, ranging from 3 – 6 J / cm², Muse scans your skin before each flash to automatically tailor your treatment to your skin tone so you can go longer between top-ups. We advise you use SmoothSkin Muse once a week for 12 weeks to start with, then drop down to maintenance treatments around every 4-8 weeks.

SmoothSkin Bare is ultrafast, with a single energy setting of 3J / cm2 that is suitable for all skin tones. It’s super speedy and lightweight with a full body treatment taking just 10 minutes. We advise you use SmoothSkin Bare once a week for 12 weeks to start with, then drop down to maintenance treatments around every 2 weeks.

SmoothSkin Bare+ is also ultrafast, with a slightly higher single energy setting of 4J / cm2.

For IPL treatment to work efficiently you must remove any hair from above the surface of the skin prior to each treatment, but keeping the root in place to help target the follicle will ensure maximum efficacy – and so maximum results.
