Sonaire Smooth+

The Sonaire Smooth+ works safely and effectively on most hair types.

Skin tones: very fair, fair, white-olive, and olive-light brown

Hair colors: black, dark brown, brown, and dark blonde

For lighter hair or medium-to-darker skin, use the lower power settings and always complete the included Skin Safety Test before starting treatment.

For hair removal, the Sonaire Smooth+ works by targeting hair follicles in their active growth phase (the anagen phase). Because not all hairs are in this phase at once, consistent treatments ensure that more follicles are effectively disabled over time—leading to longer-lasting smooth skin.

For skin rejuvenation, consistency is equally important. The Ageless Lens builds visible improvements gradually, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and pores with regular use. Since the skin naturally renews itself over several weeks, routine treatments support firmer, younger-looking skin and lasting results.

By sticking to a treatment schedule, you’ll maximize the benefits of both lenses—achieving permanent hair reduction and healthier, more radiant skin.

For long-lasting hair removal, use the Hairless Lens every 3 days for the first 10–12 weeks. This ensures that more hair follicles are treated during their active growth phase. After the initial period, switch to monthly touch-ups as needed to maintain smooth, hair-free skin.

For skin rejuvenation, use the Ageless Lens 2–3 times per week on an ongoing basis. Regular treatments help reduce the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and pores while supporting firmer, more radiant skin.

The Cooling Tech built into Sonaire Smooth+ ensures every session is pain-free and comfortable, even with frequent use.

For hair removal, shaving ensures that the light from the Hairless Lens directly targets the hair follicle beneath the skin’s surface, rather than being blocked or scattered by visible hair. This maximizes the effectiveness of each treatment and leads to faster, longer-lasting results.

It’s also essential that your skin is clean, dry, and free of lotions, creams, or self-tanners before using the Sonaire Smooth+. This allows the IPL light to be fully absorbed into the follicle for safe, optimal performance.

With our Cooling Tech, treatments remain comfortable and skin-safe, even right after shaving.

The Sonaire Smooth+ can be safely used on most areas of the face and body, including the arms, underarms, legs, hands, chest, back, chin, neck, and bikini line. Both the Hairless Lens and Ageless Lens are designed for versatile use, whether your goal is long-lasting hair reduction or visible skin rejuvenation.

However, the device should not be used on areas directly around the eyes or on the eyebrows, as these zones are too sensitive for IPL light.

Yes. Because the Sonaire Smooth+ uses advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, the Ageless Lens may also reduce hair growth in treated areas over time. While its primary purpose is to rejuvenate the skin—helping improve texture, reduce fine lines, dark spots, and minimize pores—the IPL energy also targets pigment within hair follicles, which can result in some reduction of hair.

If you prefer to maintain hair in specific areas, keep this in mind when using the Ageless Lens for skin treatments. For dedicated, long-lasting hair removal, we recommend using the Hairless Lens.

Yes! Treatments with the Sonaire Smooth+ are designed to permanently reduce hair regrowth. Clinical results show that up to 95% of users experienced a significant reduction in hair regrowth after following the recommended treatment schedule with the Hairless Lens.

Since IPL targets hair during the active growth (anagen) phase, some hairs that were in a different growth phase may still appear. This is why periodic maintenance treatments (once or twice a month) are recommended after completing the initial treatment cycle to keep skin smooth and hair-free.

No. Treatments with the Sonaire Smooth+ are designed to be comfortable and virtually pain-free. Unlike traditional laser hair removal, which uses a single concentrated wavelength, IPL uses a broader light spectrum that is gentler on the skin.

With the added benefit of our Cooling Tech, the Sonaire Smooth+ actively soothes the skin during each flash, minimizing heat and discomfort. You may feel a mild, tingling sensation in more sensitive areas, but treatments should never be painful.

For hair removal, results depend on the body area and hair growth cycle. For example, hair on the legs and arms typically has a longer growth cycle than hair on the underarms or bikini line, so some areas may show results faster than others. Many users notice visible reduction after just a few treatments, with the best results appearing after 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use with the Hairless Lens.

For skin rejuvenation, results vary depending on your skin type and concerns. Some users see subtle improvements in tone and brightness after a few sessions, while more noticeable changes—such as reduced dark spots, smoother texture, and fewer fine lines—can take several weeks of consistent use with the Ageless Lens.

The main difference lies in the type of light used. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses a broad spectrum of pulsed light, while laser hair removal uses a single, highly concentrated wavelength. Both methods target melanin in the hair follicle to achieve long-term hair reduction.

IPL devices like the Sonaire Smooth+ are designed for safe, at-home use and treat a wider surface area with each flash, making sessions faster and more convenient. Laser hair removal, while effective, is typically more expensive, requires professional treatments, and may be more uncomfortable.

Effectiveness depends on factors such as skin tone, hair color, and treatment consistency—but IPL offers a professional-grade solution in the comfort of your own home.
