ipulse SmoothSkin Permanent Hair Reduction





Hair removal makes me want to scream (please note for the photo above,the part of Jo was played by an actress)

The average woman will spend 72 days in their life time shaving their legs, I read that this week and I feel I have been above that average.

I have to shave my legs every day, summer as most do, but spring,autumn and winter!!!!! Yes its an affliction.

 Winter is the time whichbugs me most,the time when all my friends are crowing. 'Oh I go au naturel! Nobody can see my hairy legs under socks and trousers!'

If I don't shave I get itchy, it doesn't pass ever and I end up clawing my legs, come spring and people are starting that ritual called 'beach ready legs'  I'm still covering up as I have lots of scratches and spots to hide!! 

Oh and  don't even get me started on hair that seems to flourish in parts I'm sure its not supposed to be, 

I will happily embarrass myself and put off some younger readers,but after childbirth the hair seems to go into overdrive, Facial hair that would look better on the hubby, bikini line make that bermuda shorts line!! OK I am over exaggerating but its still a pain!





So when I discovered ipulse SmoothSkin had brought out a new even safer process for permanent hair reduction  I had to find out more. I have followed them on Facebook for a few years,one of the first pages I liked in fact,so great is my need to remove hair.


 I went to check out their recent webinar. It was a chance to see the new home IPL in action.

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, according to my research on the internet its a technology used by beauty studios, home users  to perform various skin treatments including hair removal.

Professor Marc Clement, the founder of ipulse technology chatted at length about the SmoothSkin and how it works. Anita Clarkson, a clinical specialist, demonstrating the new SmoothSkin. At the end of the webinar we were able to ask questions.

Some questions and answers were technical, they need to be its a technical procedure,but its also simplistic to carry out for people like me.



After the session I was asked if I would like to try it out.....erm let me think about that....YES!!

The procedure in a salon over 6 to 12 months can cost between £1,000 and £2,000. I looked it up last year.The average women in the UK spends a staggering £3,618 removing hair over a lifetime.

This system is a lot cheaper now, it costs £299 RRP now that is cheap, seriously its available from Boots, I would seriously ask for this as a Christmas gift, way better than a PS4 etc.If I was at the start of my hair removal and  shaving life,think ofall that time saved too!


Plus at the moment its £249 and there is a 10% off on electricals right now!

Now this will be an ongoing review as its not zap it and the hair is gone. I can expect noticeable hair reduction after four treatments, its recommended to treat for 12 weeks.
