Don’t expect miracles
on July 25, 2020
Posted by: Rachael
from Lancashire UK
I have very light skin and very dark thick hair, so figured I’d give this a go. Ive done the first 12 weeks and in some areas this has worked well, but overall I still need to shave regularly which is disappointing. The hair is fine now and there are some hairless patches which I’m happy about but in some areas there isn’t much difference. If I hadn’t found it for a good price I wouldn’t have bought it. I don’t get ingrown hairs now and my legs don’t get covered in rashes which I guess is good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Response from us.braun.comBy The Braun Team, August 10, 2020
We're sorry to hear that you aren't 100% satisfied with the results, Rachael! The typical hair growth cycle varies between individuals and could take up to 18-24 months, depending on the body area (underarm, lower leg and bikini areas can take the most time). Since only hairs in their growing phase are susceptible to treatment with light, it is important to do multiple treatments to achieve continuously smooth skin. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800) 272-8611.

Not made for any shade of brown

from Racine, WI
My brown color qualified under the list of browns, however, when I used this product on my skin, under my arms it was fine, but my legs suffered burns while I was attempting to use the continuous mode. The scars are still visible after a month. I do not recommend this product. I
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worked for me
on April 15, 2020
Posted by: britta
from virginia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have fair skin and dark leg/arm hair. I've been using this regularly for a few months and have definitely seen an improvement, especially in my legs. I've never had it done before this so it was a bit jarring at first and it can take a while to do even one leg. But eventually you'll get used to it and can go through it much quicker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far, so good!
on January 17, 2023
Posted by: Andrea237
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Brown Silk Expert for about a month now and I am starting to see results!
This product is ready to use right out of the box and comes with detailed instructions.
The instructions state, to use it once a week for 12 weeks to get full results, but I am definitely already seeing improvement after a couple of uses. My hair is coming in lighter and growing back slower, I can't wait to see the end result.
Treatment is not painful, but it does get really warm and stings a little bit.
The storage case fits all parts nicely and secure and the extra long power cord is definitely a plus!

Brilliant little device
on January 23, 2020
Posted by: Brinda
from Louisville, Ky
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had two last hair removal treatments done professionally and was not impressed. I tried out this home device to see how it would compare. I used a razor on my left leg only and this device on my right once a week for 5 weeks. I couldn't tell if it wad working, so I did not shave for two weeks. It's very obviously working! I'm hardly with the results and highly recommend purchasing one!

Dream for PCOS!
on July 14, 2022
Posted by: Phosford
from okahoma
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never tried hair removal other than your basic shaving. I have chin hair, arm hair, pit hair, leg hair, and dreaded female mustache hair that I want gone! I have been using this product for 3 weeks now and have noticed diminished growth! I have PCOS and have very thick dark hair with fair skin. Make sure you follow the skin and hair chart. The wand is so easy to use and it takes me about 5 minutes to do all the places I want to do and I don't have to worry about treatment except for one time a week. I'm so pleased that this is working for me and I'm so hopeful to be rid of this hair that has embarrassed me for decades! I'm already feeling more confident. Thank you, Braun!

Really works!!
on August 19, 2022
Posted by: MademoissELLE
from GreennBay, WI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this product weekly on my legs, underarms, and bikini line for 6 weeks. My hair is already thinning and I don’t have to shave as often. I will keep using weekly until I reach my desired results. The recommendation is to use monthly for maintenance. In certain areas it feels like a very light rubber band snap sensation (not painful) and in other areas I don’t feel any discomfort at all. Love this product!

The best self care gift you can give
on January 14, 2023
Posted by: Michelle Y
from Keyes, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had professional laser treatments done in an office setting before. In comparison, the Braun IPL laser hair removal system is the exact product to bring this high end treatment home for a much lower cost and bigger value. There are 3 different attachments included so that you can customize for the area you are treating. The guide included in the package suggests treating a small area as a test, and then treating once a week for 4-6 weeks. It is imperative you use the skin tone and body hair chart on the packaging to determine if you are a good candidate for this safe, effective treatment. In my experience, it hurt way less than I experienced in the professional setting, and I got to do it myself in the comfort of my own home. Stopping when I needed to, and resuming. I wouldn’t suggest any sun exposure for a couple days after treatment, so winter is the best time to handle the hair! The German design ensures you get a well made, quality instrument for such an important task. It is so effective, I won’t need it much longer!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're glad to hear that you're a fan of our Braun IPL, Michelle. However, we're sorry that you may have experienced some discomfort while using it. We can assure you that our IPL is thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. Some people will experience slight discomfort (e.g. heat or redness of the skin) when using the device, and this is normal. You may feel heat and tingling when activating the flash, followed by redness in the skin, and this type of reaction usually disappears within 24 hours. We hope this is helpful. We'd also like to learn more and gather some additional details for our Safety Team, so please give us a call at (800) 272-8611 when you can.
