Great For Men Too!
Simply the best! I'm a guy, and I have been using lasers for hair removal since their existence. This, so far, is the safest one and most influential of all. The technology for analyzing your face is A must for people that don't know how to adjust the power. It does it automatically. w or work on my thick beard hair. I love it!

Flash your way to smooth skin
Most cost effective on the market product that is very easy to use with some minimal prep requirements and area testing to determine if your body is not light sensitive to pulses the Smoothskin uses. Areas with high amounts of hair will need to be shaved clean prior to use. At times, depending on how dark hair areas may be, there may be some low-pain associated. After the first use, it was noticeable the hair growth had changed in the various areas tested. While it has only been 6 weeks using this product, the company does suggest using it longer to see more long-term results. Throughout the first four weeks, it was upkeep of the areas tested with noticeable changes. Length of time it lasts will vary depending on the individual’s hair growth. The initial shave is designed to create a smooth, clean area, for beginning the treatments on the areas, it is upkeep to prevent the hair from returning and falling from the follicles. The smaller tip is primarily used for areas of the body requiring a more precise target and control. One thing to note, if the machine is not working, you must ensure there is proper skin contact; without this, it will not work. Be sure your skin is dry, possibly wait 10-15 minutes after a shower and shave to allow your skin to air dry before self treatment. Time does vary and will take longer to perform the first treatment as you get to know the machine and then reduces as you continue to use it more and more. It will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete all of the major areas of your body. Current plan is to continue using this on a regulay basis to maintain and shave only when absolutely necessary. Highly recommend for self or that special someone.

It works
So far so good. I’ve been using it for about 1 month and I can see a lot of difference. Very easy to use with obvious results. I was not sure which brand to choose and I’m glad I picked this one.

Excellent value, this product WORKS.
Laser hair removal at a pro is EXPENSIVE. Much more expensive than this product, so my review reflects that! It’s a good value when compared to a series of treatments which can cost over a grand. Really well packaged and very easy to read instructions. It was not hard to get started at all. Very easy to use and definitely premium. The build quality seems fairly good, but not BIFL good. I expect this to last 5 years or longer if I should choose to use it that long. Read the manual fully when you get this. It’s important to know all of the caveats and limitations. It stings a bit when you use it so be prepared when you use it on sensitive areas. (underarm, bikini line, behind knee, or inner thigh). It is the level of someone flicking you with their finger pretty hard or small needle pricks. It’s more of a hmmm moment than an “ouch” moment, but it’s there so be ready for it. I think it’s worth it for the effectiveness of the product. I did a sample on the back of my hand (included in my pictures). The skin there is smooth and doesn’t seem to show any growth reappearing. I’ve only had it for two weeks so this is a promising result! I would add results in other places, but then my review would not be family friendly. When the light goes off, don’t look at it! It’s hard not to and that’s not something that is the fault of the product. One time is all you need to know that you shouldn’t be looking at it. DEFINITELY don’t look at it directly pointed at your eyes. Not something I would trust with kids, but then… what would kids be doing with a product like this? If you’re one that would consider laser hair removal, this is a good substitute which is vastly less than a professional treatment. It definitely is less easy than a pro set of treatments… you just need some time and of course, there’s no tech doing the job for you. My skin is light olive with dark hair which worked great. On my wife who is much lighter with dark hair, it worked even better. I don’t think this would work as well with lighter hair. There was one area on me that didn’t agree with the treatment (sensitive). I think it’s a good idea to do a test if you are especially sensitive and that’s the area you want to treat. You’ll know within 24 hours if it’s a good thing for your skin. You’re not going to see the results right away, so I also suggest taking pictures, giving it some time and, keeping up with the treatments. Bottom line: this is not a fake product, it DOES have results and is worth the money if your skin can take it. In the manual it suggests that you’ll be doing touch ups so it’s not a one-shot. I recommend the SmoothSkin Pure FIT!

You see the results!
The excitement i had when receiving the SmoothSkin Pure Fit IPL Hair removal system was unreal! I was so excited to start using this in hopes that it would help with my unwanted embarrassing hair growth. I do want to say that it is very importsnt that you read the instructions thoroughly prior to your first use as this in not a daily treatment and it only works for certain skin tones. The device has some weight to it but i was okay with this. Upon my first treatment i learned quickly how to hold and how to maneuver it around areas such as knees and ankles. Over the last 6 weeks i have used it once a week. I will say after 2 weeks of using i noticed results in the amount of hair growing back slower than normal. For some context, i am very self conscious due to facial hair growth from PCOS. I have dealt with unwanted facial hair growth from my mid 20s and im now 34. I have always been embarrassed of it and too embarrased to speak to a doctor about it. I would have to shave my face daily due to the fast hair growth. So yes i used this on my chin, under chin, and side of face as well as my arm pits, lower legs, upper legs and bikini area. It advises you to not use it on sensitive areas of your body but my body and skin was able to handle the areas that i listed. The device is very simple to use. You plug it in, place it on your body and watch the lights light up on it telling you it has recognized the skin area, then you press the button. Its quick easy and works! I will say that i had no reaction over 6 weeks, no redness, and nothing but a great experience. When you press the button you do feel it. It feels like a quick burn or sting that goes away in seconds. The results i had were absolutely amazing. Less hair growth, shave once a week instead of daily, and just overall its working for me and has allowed me to gain my confidence back and feel good about myself. I highly reccomend the SnootgSkin Fit IPL
