Pro 5 IPL
on January 6, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really great home IPL hair remover if you want a salon quality service at home. I have used a similar product from a different brand in the past and this option greatly surpasses it in quality and effectiveness. It instructs the user to use weekly for best results, and I started seeing less hair growth in my underarms after only 2 weeks.
The device is easy to power on by pressing any button and uses skin tone sensors to adjust to the appropriate power setting. The intensity level can be adjusted on your own as needed. I have been using the device on the mid intensity setting, which is considered "sensitive", but still felt the heat and zaps to be quite uncomfortable. I'm hoping that I can adjust to this over time and eventually move up to the level 3 "standard" setting.
I really like the gliding treatment mode and prefer it to stamping. You just need to press the button, glide it across the treatment area and it will continuously flash as long as the button continues to be pressed and contact is made with the skin.
The device is plugged in (not wireless) which in my opinion is optimal to ensure that you can get through a whole treatment without the battery running out. They include 4 head attachments which includes a standard head, wide head and 2 precision heads. They can be easily switched out depending on the size of the area you intend to treat. The kit also includes a razor and carrying case for storage, basically everything you need included in 1 kit! I'm really enjoying using this device and look forward to seeing continued progress.

At Home Luxury

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took me a minute to become familiar with using it efficiently, but once I did it made it much easier. Absolutely love this for hair removal!! It even works on my husbands back hair-it’s a win win! The packaging alone is very high end. The various head options are also helpful depending on where you want to remove hair. Love that I can do this at home instead of having to make an appointment. Highly recommend!

Amazing IPL Hair Removal System from Braun!
on January 7, 2023
Posted by: recentyear12
from Glen Allen, VA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using the Braun IPL Long-lasting Hair Removal System Silk Expert Pro 5, as it is the safest, fastest, and most efficient IPL ever, as well as the he world’s #1 female electric hair removal brand, designed in Germany. It gives me long-lasting at-home hair reduction in just 4 weeks, and comes with with 3 additional caps for precise hair removal from head-to-toe, which includes 1 Standard head ideal for lower legs, armpits and arms, 1 Wide head ideal for upper legs, chest, and back, and 2 Precision heads ideal for face (chin, upper lip), and intimate areas., which is super cool.
The Braun IPL is the only IPL brand that uses NEW SkinPro 2.0 (SensoAdapt) technology to automatically and continuously adapt to my skin tone 80 times per second, and gives me long-lasting visible hair reduction without added time, money, or hassle of an appointment. Moreover the Braun IPL comes with 3 intuitive power modes (normal, gentle, extra gentle) for comfortable and efficient usage, even in sensitive areas. I can use sensitive skin mode for a virtually pain-free session, ideal for first-time users.
I am totally in love with the Braun IPL Long-lasting Hair Removal System Silk Expert Pro 5, which also comes with on-the-go premium vanity case that holds the IPL device and all attachments, for easy organization and storage, and have already recommended it to many of my friends and family and several of them have already purchased and used it, and they are all in love with this hair removal system and use it daily to get the best results just the way I do.
I would recommend this to a friend!

from Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this for a few weeks now, and I am in love! I was a bit terrified to try it at first, but those fears quickly dissipated. The only area that I have experienced any discomfort was because of user error by not properly removing all of the hair, but even that caused minimal “pain”. I am starting to see results, and can’t wait to ditch my razor for good. The process of extremely easy for self grooming.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This at home later hair removal kit is amazing. It does a wonderful job removing hairs without any discomfort. It does take a few try to get it to work but once or does then you're left with smooth skin. Make sure to shave first because it will not work on longer haired. It's super cute and comes in a nice car too take places out leave sitting on a shelf.

Great
on January 9, 2023
Posted by: Annakay
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Braun IPL device is a great alternative for an at home hair removal treatment versus expensive laser removal at the salon. The device comes in a very pretty light pink case and has additional head attachments as well as a razor. The device itself is very easy to use and the frequency is determined by your skin tone. I did feel a little uncomfortable when using it under my armpits as it stung and got a little too hot. However, using it on my legs has been a breeze. I’ve used it a total of 4 times already and actually noticed some decrease in hair growth, especially on my legs. I am excited to continue using it for even better results!

We're so glad that you're already noticing some results, Anna! Thanks for taking time out of your day to review this product, however, we're sorry that it's a little uncomfortable to use under your armpits. While safety is at the forefront of what we do, and we do have checks in place, the skin under your arm is generally darker, meaning it's absorbing more light energy, likely being the cause of the discomfort. Your experience is important to us, and we'd love to hear from you about this. Please call us at 800-272-8611.

Awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive been using the Braun IPL hair removal for a few weeks now and I’m pretty impressed. I started with my armpits, doing one short session every day. I usually do it after a shower and it’s pretty quick and painless. I do have to ay in used to an epilator so I have high pain tolerance. I started to see the difference in hair growth in about 10 days. Honestly this is pretty awesome to be able to get salon quality results in the comfort of your own home. Also not having to book a session and find a sitter is a great plus. Amazing product very pleased.
