No pain, easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hair removal device was very easy to use and the set up guide was helpful. You make sure to shave first, then plug in the device, push the button for it to warm up, and press it to the skin you want to remove hair. I used this on my armpits and legs, by holding the button and gliding over the areas. There are three sensitivity levels, I used it at the medium and low levels. The low level just felt warm but no pain at all. Medium was a little hotter for my preference. This blinks with red flashes of light as it works on your hair follicle and seems to work pretty well and is easy and painless to use. I'm going to continue using this once a week for up to 12 weeks for permanent hair removal. So far, it's been about 5 days since I used the machine and I think my hair is growing back slower than normal, as I typically get hair growth within 36 hours. Overall it seems like a high end painless hair removal method, which is perfect for me. I definitely recommend this!

Works EXCEPTIONALLY well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been on the fence about getting one of these due to the expense. I'm thrilled to report it is SO easy to use! I'm using it primarily on the peach fuzz on my face. It's virtually painless and as I stated before, it's really easy to use. Read the directions, do a patch test to make sure you don't have any adverse reactions and then do it up! It also comes with a nice carrying case as well as an extra head for more precise targetting of smaller areas.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such an incredible kit! It has everything you need to get started with IPL hair removal all stored inside a case. It even came with a razor! When I got it I was really afraid it was going to hurt. I was worried that it would have the same level of pain as an epilator. Was I ever surprised! If you shave correctly before starting it is absolutely pain free. I did hit a spot or two where I missed a hair but even then it was only like a pop from a rubber band. It does take about 12 weeks to complete the cycle. When I think of all the time I’ve spent shaving or all the money I’ve spent on shaving supplies and waxing, I’m wondering why I waited so long to try this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I would’ve known about this before I did laser hair removal at a med spa. This is so much more affordable, quicker, and works just as well. I’m able to do my legs and underarms at home now for a fraction of the price. It’s a very high quality product and comes in a great storage case. The instructions are clear and the process is simple.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My new favorite thing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This IPL is amazing. First off, the packaging is so nice and high quality. Everything has its own place. The device itself is very nice. It looks and feels like a professional system. It’s extremely easy to use and pain free. The booklets give you step by step instructions. The IPL machine itself has automatic sensors that adjust as you go. It’s really a great device. The flashes are super bright so prepare yourself for that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a product I have wanted for a long time! I have used it for a few weeks, and it is great! It is making the time between shaving longer and longer, and each time I use it the hair grows back thinner! I have used it on myself and my husband. There is no pain and it is simple to use. I am so glad to have this!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We love hearing how well Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 IPL has worked for you and your husband! However, we don't recommend sharing the device with another person for hygiene reasons, unless you are using individual IPL heads per user. Thanks for leaving a review, and we're excited to hear about your ongoing results.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Going to a professional is both time consuming & costly. I am new to at home hair remover other than shaving or self strip removal. I've used the Braun Fem four times already. I do have medium hair which tends to grow quickly. Using it is simple, just a little intimidating at first for first time users. I had no adverse reactions, no skin concerns and my hair is coming back less often and thinner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This EW Silk·expert Pro 5 IPL is easy to use if you follow the instructions! Make sure to shave first. Then plug in and use the Silk Expert Pro in small sections on your skin. I have only had it about 3 weeks and found it easy to use by taking my time and doing it in sections. So far no irritation and looking forward to no shaving during summer.
I would recommend this to a friend!
