In this blog we’re taking a deeper dive into Pure Switch’s Ice Mode, featuring Sapphire Ice Cooling technology for gentle treatments, no matter where you treat. 

Gentle treatments everywhere (yes, even down there)

Many users who are new to IPL naturally wonder what a treatment feels like. IPL hair removal is generally considered gentle and well-tolerated. Many users who have tried our IPL devices rate the feeling as a 3/10, describing it as warm sensation but not painful.

To take comfort to the next level, Pure Switch is SmoothSkin’s first IPL hair removal device with Sapphire Ice Cooling technology. When used in Ice Mode, the sapphire block cools your skin to a comfortable level, for painless treatments even in your most sensitive areas. 93% of users agree it’s just as gentle as shaving (minus the nicks and cuts of course!). 

What is Sapphire Ice Cooling?

Sapphire Ice Cooling Technology in IPL is an advanced cooling system that enhances comfort during treatments. It uses a sapphire crystal to conduct and maintain a low temperature on the skin's surface while delivering gentle IPL pulses.

How does Sapphire Ice Cooling work?

SmoothSkin Pure Switch features a premium sapphire crystal block that touches your skin. Before a flash, the sapphire block is already cold, it then delivers the IPL pulse through the crystal while maintaining the low skin temperature. After the flash, it quickly re-cools the area. This pre-cool/during-cool/post-cool sequence keeps the skin comfortably cool. 

What does a treatment with Pure Switch feel like?

97% of consumers who tested Pure Switch agreed that it is as pain-free as shaving*. The Sapphire Ice Cooling technology cools the skin to a comfortable level, for gentle treatment even in your most sensitive areas.

What are the benefits of sapphire ice cooling vs other options?

There are several options for cooling with at-home IPL devices, the 3 most common are: 

1. Sapphire Ice Cooling technology
2. Metal plate
3. Cooling gel (only compatible if the manufacturer recommends it)

Sapphire Ice Cooling is considered the most advanced, premium option for a few reasons: 

• Highly durable – sapphire crystal is extremely durable and scratch resistant
• Superior thermal conductivity – it shuttles heat away efficiently
• Highly transparent across the light spectrum – allowing the IPL light to pass through effectively
• No extra steps needed such as cooling gel

All of these combined means that Pure Switch Sapphire Ice Cooling technology is both very effective and comfortable, especially on sensitive areas. Pure Switch takes the technology further by combining ThermoSense technology, which maintains a consistently low temperature.

What are users saying?

In clinical trials, 98% of users agree that a treatment with Pure Switch is painless.

Where can you use IPL hair removal?

With three intelligent treatment modes, Pure Switch is designed for all body areas. It adapts to every curve, every need, and every comfort level. Depending on your treatment area and need, simply switch between.

• Ice Mode – Sapphire Ice Cooling technology. Use this mode for more sensitive areas such as bikini line and underarms. 
• Speed Mode – attach the speed head for faster treatments. Enjoy 2x faster treatments, perfect for larger areas such as legs and arms. 
• Precision Mode – a smaller, more targeted tip for precise treatments. Attach the precision head when you need to target those hard-to-navigate areas such as upper lip, fingers and toes.

SmoothSkin Pure Switch has been clinically tested on face, underarms, legs, and even the VIO/bikini area.

Can I use IPL hair removal on the bikini line?

Yes, Pure Switch has been clinically tested on the full VIO area. In fact, 93% of users said a treatment on the bikini line is painless. When treating this area, we recommend using Pure Switch in Ice Mode to get the benefits of Sapphire Ice Cooling technology. For your first treatment, we’d recommend using in ‘low’ mode in the comfort settings.

Summary

Pure Switch is perfect for those looking for full body versatility, offering gentle treatments on sensitive areas with Sapphire Ice Cooling technology, fast treatments on legs and precise treatments for smaller areas.
