How many flashes does SmoothSkin IPL have? 

 All SmoothSkin IPL devices have unlimited flashes so you never have to worry about running out.  

What happens if you use IPL too often? 

If you use IPL too often it can irritate the skin. There is no benefit to using SmoothSkin IPL devices more than the recommended once per week. This is the optimal treatment regime to ensure you catch all hairs in their active growing phase (when IPL is most effective).  

What is the best home hair removal? 

Choosing what the best home hair removal depends on budget, what you’re looking to achieve and personal preference.  

If you’re looking for salon-quality results from the comfort of home and at a fraction of the price, IPL hair removal may be best for you. It has been clinically proven to be effective at long-term hair reduction.  

SmoothSkin IPL devices have won multiple best hair removal awards, including the 2024 Shape Beauty Award for ‘Best Laser Hair Removal Device’. The reason it was chosen as the best pick is because “SmoothSkin is a pioneer brand for at-home IPL hair removal devices that are science-backed, clinically tested, and proven to deliver results. This updated model's shape is easier to use on our bodies than previous iterations (and others on the market we tested), especially in areas with more curves that can be prone to sensitivity.” 

Can IPL remove hair permanently? 

IPL can help you to achieve long-lasting smooth skin. IPL hair removal works by converting light energy to heat and disabling the hair follicle at the root, preventing growth. After a few treatments with IPL, hair growth is usually finer, softer and takes longer to grow back. After completion of treatment you will achieve permanent hair reduction and will just need maintenance treatments now and again to prevent regrowth.
