Does anyone use Boots SmoothSkin hair removal gadget?

I'm tempted but its ££££. Does it work? Does it hurt?

Nobody?

The thought of not having to shave again is amazing if it works.

I had one but the head isn't very big so legs take ages, I'm a size 8 so it's not like my legs are a big area.

In the end I got bored with it and sold it on eBay.

Plus it's hair reduction, not permenant hair removal. So I'm very "meh" about it.

Thanks both.

Fluffy, that's what I'm concerned about. That it would all be too much hassle! Or it wouldn't work well enough to be worth the time.

I had one and sold it after I got treatments in a salon. It took ages ( the at home one ) and I didn't see anywhere near as fast results as I did with the salon. Obv there's a huge price difference though.

I got one 2 years ago and started to see some great results after a few goes. However I stopped using it while pregnant (not sure why you have to) and haven't had time to start up again. I do seem to need to shave/epilate less regularly though now although that could be breastfeeding hormones palying a part?

It is a bit boring tbh, apply gel, position laser, press button, wonder why it didn't flash, heads now too hot, leave to cool down, apply more gel, flash, get moaned at by dh who has managed to be in the room with me when he was downstairs when I started, worry your going to blind the cat who is fascinated by the whole process, put cat in hall, listen to cat scratching at the door, apply gel......

I haven't got any plans to buy another one. I buy a tube of nair in the poundshop every week now and slap that on instead.

The Beauty Scribbler raves about it. I'm beginning to wonder if either she was given one for free or maybe when you don't have kids or MN you just have endless hours to spend zapping your legs.

I have an annoying hair on my face which keeps growing all thick and stubbly and gives me a spot as it grows. I'm almost tempted to buy it just to try and kill this one hair off. Keep tweezing it and it keeps growing.
