3.0 HOW IT WORKS 3.1 HOW DOES IPL WORK? SMOOTHSKIN BARE+ is designed to help break the hair cycle and prevent regrowth. Light energy is transferred through the skin’s surface and is absorbed by melanin present in the hair shaft. That light energy is converted to heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which stops the pesky hairs from growing back.
You will need to keep treating the hairs every once in a while to avoid hair growth starting up again; but the great thing about SMOOTHSKIN BARE+ is that it will prevent hair regrowth as long as you keep treating regularly, so if you keep it up, you will never have to experience stubbly legs or underarms again.
Whoa there! One step at a time... Before your first treatment on each new body area, test your skin (in that area) for a reaction to SMOOTHSKIN BARE+. The Patch Test area should be approximately 3cm x 2cm (equivalent to 2 flashes side by side).
