[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time using any other than a razor, and so far i am loving it! The three different sized heads are perfect! I have seen decent results so far after using a couple weeks. a lot less hair growth. Looking forward to continued results!
I would recommend this to a friend!

It really works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have light Asian skin with dark hair and have gone to get professional IPL hair removal which has been effective in the underarm and arms after a few treatments. I was curious if I could get similar results with this in home treatment that is a fraction of the price and so I tried it on my legs and bikini area which I shave once every week. You have to make sure there is no hair on the skin so you should shave the day before your treatment. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to just plug in the device (and the cord is long enough to move around comfortably) and slowly glide it (for my legs) and stamp it (for bikini) with the automatic sensors that will activate if you use it correctly (press device firmly against your body area) with a slight zap and it will read your skin tone and adapt the flash intensity. I left it on the standard setting and I love that it self adjust and I don’t have to worry about changing the setting for the flash intensity!
I have noticed that my hair is thinner and lighter and grows much slower without any dark stubbles, ingrown hair or any razor burns. It really doesn’t hurt to use, it’s just a slight pinching but the sensation lessens with each treatment. The only thing is that you have to be consistent and do it once a week for 12 weeks is what is recommended and then just maintain as needed after that. I’ve only gone through a couple of treatments and so far it’s working well for the value.

We're glad to hear that you're a fan of our Braun IPL, though we're sorry that you've been experiencing a pinching sensation. We can assure you that our products are 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, but 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'll be sure to share this with our team, and we'd also like to gather some additional details for our Safety Team. When you have a chance, please give us a call at (800) 272-8611.

Effective and basically painless!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, make sure you check out the chart to make sure this device is right for you! I was beyond impressed with the packaging for the device. It comes with a beautiful carrying case. Instructions are extremely user friendly. You plug it in and press any button to turn it on. You hold it up to your skin and the unit won’t work if you don’t have contact on all sides of the head. If you press and hold, it delivers “zaps” one after another so you glide it along the larger are you’re treating. Also the larger head works for this. The smaller head treats smaller areas. For smaller areas you just press once to deliver one single “zap”. Speaking of “zap” it doesn’t really hurt. The longer you use it, you t does tend to heat up and sting a tiny bit, but I wouldn’t describe it as pain. You use it once a week for 12 weeks and then monthly after that. I’m 4 weeks/treatments in on my legs and underarms and can already notice a difference. My hair isn’t growing back as rapidly. I’m also noticing less and thinner hair all together. After only 4 treatments I’m excited to see what it will be like after 12. Definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for effective at home hair removal!

We're so glad that you're loving your hair reduction results! We hope your other 8 weeks of treatments go as smoothly. While we have safety checks in place, it's possible that darker areas of your body may experience more of a zap, because it absorbs more light energy. When it comes to those areas, you may find the sensitive mode better suited for you. We care so much for you and your experience, so we'd love to hear from you about this and make your sessions even better. When you're free, please call us at 800-272-8611.

It works for my need

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is nothing worse for me that dealing with facial hair. It was growing so fast I was having a hard time keeping up with keeping it gone. I started using the Braun Silk Expert and noticed quickly that it was not coming back so quickly. I decided to focus on my face to start since that was my biggest area of problems. The instructions are easy to follow and really made it easy to get started. I really am pleased with the results and its boosted my confidence using. The cord is a nice size length that really makes it easier to use. I really like the case this stores in and the fact it comes with a razor to get you started.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Braun US NEW Silk Expert Pro 5 IPL is a great substitute for hair removal and it works amazingly! I have PCOS so I grow unsightly hair quickly and often! I love that I have access to this from the privacy of my own home and I can use it for whatever body part I want to remove all this hair. I highly recommend folks give this a try. You definitely will be making a great investment.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the past I have been to a medical spa to have bikini laser hair removal. I have always wanted to do my armpits but couldn't justify the cost. I was super excited for this product. It was so easy to use and not super painful. I cant speak for longevity or how it works long term as I have only done my treatment but I have already noticed some hair thinning!

No more painful bikini wax!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow wow wow this handheld IPL hair removal system is small enough to use with one hand, gentle on skin, fast, powerful and extremely easy to use!
Here's a little bit of why I love this soooo much.
* It comes in a case, no missing pieces because it's all contained in the case.
* It comes with 3 different razor heads one head is wide for use on larger body areas like arms, legs and chest. It also comes with two precision heads. Those are ideal for smaller/sensitive areas such as the bikini area or the face.
*It's VERY fast & powerful, flashing every 0.5 seconds meaning we don't have to spend long periods of time to use this.
* This is awesome.... It has a skin sensor that continuously reads your skin tone during the session and automatically adapts the light intensity.
* The Braun silk expert pro 5 has 10 intensity levels and two sensitive modes making this gentle on your skin.
* Best of all is you will have visible results in 4 weeks then every 1-2 months you should do a quick session just to maintain the smooth soft skin we all love.
Those are just a few of the reasons I'm head over heels for this Braun Silk expert Pro 5. I highly recommend everyone grab one for themselves, even the men will love using this. I give this a 100 out of 10 lol.

Incredible!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so thrilled with this! I was nervous that it wouldn’t work or that it would be painful but I am so glad that neither of those things are true. This is easy to use and doesn’t hurt at all. It does take some time to see results but I’ve been using this for about 6 weeks and my bikini area is so smooth. I can tell the hair is starting to grow back slower and much thinner.
I would recommend this to a friend!
