SmoothSkin devices have been developed with safety at the forefront and are safe to use for eyes, without the need for eye protection.

All SmoothSkin devices have 4 skin contact sensors that ensure the device flashes only when pressed firmly against your skin, never into the air. However, you should never attempt to fire on it, or close to, the eye itself.

To get the most out of your device you should start off by using it once a week for 12 weeks continuously. After the initial 12 weeks, you can then switch to maintenance treatments every 4 to 8 weeks, or as required. There is no increased benefit from using the SmoothSkin Pure Adapt more than once a week.

SmoothSkin Pure Adapt is effective on skin types I to V on the Fitzpatrick Scale and blonde to dark hair.

IPL technology is based on the relation between melanin in the skin and hair. It can be ineffective on white, gray or red hair. Since gray and white hair do not contain enough or any melanin, IPL treatment may not work on these hair colors.

Red hair contains a different type of melanin, which is not responsive to IPL.

IPL is unsafe for deep skinned users, as the skin is rich in melanin and could absorb more than the safe amount of energy.

Yes. SmoothSkin devices are FDA cleared and have been clinically proven to be safe and effective with over 5500 treatments performed on different skin tones.

The Pure Adapt has an intelligent skin tone sensor which continuously reads your skin before every flash and automatically adapts the energy output to your individual skin tone, ensuring kind to skin and safe treatments. If the skin tone sensor detects an unsafe skin tone, the device won’t flash—ensuring you never burn your skin.

All SmoothSkin devices contain integrated UV filters to protect your skin against harmful light.

No, most people describe a treatment as a slight tingling or warm sensation. In recent clinical trials, users rated the discomfort of a SmoothSkin treatment at just 1 out of 10. However, please note this does vary from person to person, depending on hair color and hair density. If you are a little sensitive to the treatment at first, we recommend to select Gentle Mode, which can help you get used to the experience.

Light energy is transferred through the skin’s surface and is absorbed by melanin present in the hair shaft. The absorbed light energy is converted to heat energy (below the skin’s surface) which disables the hair follicle, preventing further growth.

After treatment, always turn off the device by unplugging the electrical outlet. Before and after every use, wipe clean with a soft, lint free cloth. We recommend carefully cleaning the contour adapters with a slightly damp cotton swab.

The glass filter can get hot during use, please do NOT touch or clean the filter for at least 5 minutes after use to allow the window to cool down. Do not use water or other cleaning fluids, as these can damage the device leading to a potential safety hazard.
