Fantastic product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being half Italian, I am pretty hairy. I usually don't mind but in the summer I get sick and tired of shaving as it's monotonous and annoying. This is a perfect alternative to expensive waxing or even more expensive laser treatments! It's easy to use and not uncomfortable at all! You see results in less than a month and have a couple different modes to choose from. It only takes 5 minutes to use on both legs!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Hair Removal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 system.
Upon unpacking, I was able tell Braun took great care in curating this product. It comes with a gorgeous carrying case and there are spots for each piece or the device.
First I tried a test spot on my arm. I made sure to shave it first and allow it to dry thoroughly. I used a smaller tip for this test area and it was pain free.
Since I didn’t notice any negative affects on my test area, I decided to test it out on my legs the next day. After showering and drying, I used the wider tip so that I could glide it on my legs for a quicker process. If you hold the button down, instead of pulsing, it’ll allow the treatment to continue until you let go of the button which makes treating larger areas easier. Again, this was pain free.
I am a mixed race female with a more olive skin tone and the reader for tone will let me know if the area I’m about to treat is acceptable since dark skin isn’t compatible with this system.
I’ll continue to use this system weekly until I no longer have hair growth.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It’s intimidating at first, but impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had this sitting a few weeks before I worked up the courage to do this. The first click scared me because I wasn’t expecting such a bright flash to come out of the want. There was no discomfort during and after use. I am impressed at how easy it is to use. Can’t wait for the long run results.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been having professional laser hair removal treatments over the last few years on my face and have been happy with the results. I have wanted to do some other areas, but haven’t because of the cost. The Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5 IPL has given me the opportunity to try at home treatments to see if I get the same results for a much lower cost. I have fair skin and dark hair follicles. I’m treating the hair on my legs currently. The unit is lightweight and easy to hold. You simply place it against your skin and press the button, then move onto the next area and do the same. It feels like the snap of a rubberband depending on which intensity you are using, but is not painful. I have found that you can treat a large area pretty quickly. I haven’t owned long enough to speak to long-term results because laser hair removal takes multiple treatments over a period of months, but I have definitely noticed the hair coming back finer. I’m excited to see if I can get rid of the hair permanently!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Response from us.braun.comBy Aizaz Khalid, The Braun Team, January 19, 2023
We're just as excited as you are too! We're glad you're loving your results and experiences so far. We have many safety checks in place, but know that when the device comes into contact with a darker skin tone, it may be more uncomfortable due to the increase in light absorbed into the skin. As you mentioned, use one of the sensitive modes, and it should be a more enjoyable experience. Regardless, we're happy you're satisfied with your results, and we'd like to hear from you about your experiences. Please call us at 800-272-8611.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just dont like how time consuming it is. I dont think I will use this consistently because I feel like it will take up too much of my time.

Game changer
on January 30, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an African American make with a light to medium skin tone and reddish/brown hair.. Its hard to find an electric razor that cuts close and doesn't break me out. I have sensitive skin so almost everything does. I normally use soap and water and a 4 or 5 blade manual razor. This razor has changed everything for me. I don't need to use water but if I choose to - I CAN! It cuts super close. No break outs. Charges quick and the charge lasts me a while, even though I shave almost every day. It doesn't irritate me at all. It's quiet. Has a travel pouch and it's own cleaner. Super easy to use. I couldn't ask for anything better quite honestly.. If you haven't tried this already - you need to!

Cool Braun Silk expert Pro 5 PL5014 IPL Hair Remov
on January 28, 2020
Posted by: forsurveyonly
from Glen Allen, VA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am madly in love with the Braun Silk expert Pro 5 PL5014 IPL Hair Removal System since it is the safest, fastest & most efficient IPL for my permanent hair reduction in just 4 weeks which automatically & continuously adapts to my skin tone to ensure optimal balance between efficacy & safety, very precise & gentle on my skin. The precision head allows me to tackle smaller or tricky areas like the face, bikini line or underarms, the gentle & extra gentle settings reduce the energy level on sensitive areas.
The Silk-expert Pro is the perfect tool to tackle the hair on my chest, back, arms, stomach and legs, giving out 400,000 flashes to deliver an equivalent of 22 years of treatment, has 10 intensity levels to ensure that the light intensity is right for my skin tone. The Senso Adapt technology continuously reads my skin tone & adapts the flash intensity for the safest & most effective for the permanent visible hair removal for me.
The gliding mode of the Braun Silk expert Pro 5 PL5014 IPL Hair Removal System triggers more flashes for the fastest treatment, ideal for large body parts, while the stamp mode provides a more precise treatment suitable for smaller & sensitive areas, capable of treating both legs in less than 5 minutes at the lowest energy level. Since the device is clinically tested by experts, treatments are gentle and virtually painless.
It has 3 comfort modes - normal, gentle or extra gentle setting to reduce energy level. This device is electrical & does not require batteries or charging. How much ever I talk about this amazing device is not enough since it is a magical device for me in my life. After using it since last 4 weeks I don't see any hair in my body at all, which clearly tells me that this device practically worked great for me.
I have already recommend it to several of my friends, family, neighbors & co-workers & many of them already purchased and started using it &just love using it just like the way how I love using it so much.
I would recommend this to a friend!
