Braun IPL Silk Expert Pro 5, Visible Permanent Hair Removal With Precision Head For Body & Face, Venus Swirl Razor & Premium Pouch, Alternative For Laser Hair Removal, PL5117, White/Gold

I've been using the Braun silk expert pro 5 for 1 and 1/2 years and I couldn't be happier with it.After 6 months of using it, I was free of armpit hair. After 1 year my legs are almost hair free. I have the odd hair here and there but very thin. The bikini line is taking longer as my skin tone is Olive and some areas of the bikini line are very dark and I have a more aggressive French bikini style but I have very very little hair now.In terms of pain at max setting, I barely noticed it in armpits and legs but the bikini line was another thing. At the beginning was quite painful but the fewer follicles you have the less painful it is. When I start, it took me about an hour to do legs, bikini and armpit. Now in 10 minutes is all done as I keep doing the hair free areas once a month.For it to work, you have to be very constant and I would recommend to do a weekly session for as long as you need and then monthly touch ups.You have to take in account that every person skin tone and hair is different. Hence, for some people it will work better than for others.I have bought now a Tria laser for touch ups. So hopefully in a few months I will be hair free.

Effective treatment but it does take time to start seeing lasting results. I have been using it twice a week now for some time but I still have some stubborn chest hair that needs more attention. Painless and fast to use.

I decided to buy this product during lockdown, because I was unable to go to the clinic where I used to get my laser done.I'm Mediterranean, with dark and strong hair but not very dark skin and I've been doing laser treatments for more than 15 years (mainly in my face and legs).I've spent thousands of €/£ and even if these treatments helped, after a while everything came back to normal...This machine is perfect for me, because, even if it's quite a big investment at the beginning, I have already recover the purchase cost on the 6 months I've owned it.If you are in the same situation than me, you probably already know that you are going to pay 8 sessions for 800£ (at least) and after that you will need to keep going, because, I'm sorry to say, the hair is not going to disappear 100%. Even worse, if you leave too much time between treatments, the hair will come back again like nothing has happened.I'm not saying that this product is better quality than the other lasers machines that I've tried, but in long term it is, since you paid it only once, and you can use it as much as you want/need from the comfort of your home, and you won't have the problem of needing to wait until you can afford to pay an extra 800£ for a new treatment.My only regret is that I'm not very consistent and I keep forgetting to do it every often, but even if that is the case I can see that my face has never been that clean for a long period of time and that I've lost the half of the hair I used to have on my legs.I don't know how this product will work in people that have never had laser treatments, but if you are like me and are fed up of wasting money on clinics that promise miracles that are not going to happen, you really need this.Once again, if you have suffered the painful laser professional machines, this is going to be nothing for you. I really cannot feel it! Just make sure you shaved your legs before using it (if you do it weekly for the first 12 weeks as recommended, you probably won't need to shave, because you won't have any hair!)The first time you use it is a bit weird because you are not use to it so don't know how to do it best or you are not sure if you have passed it in every single part of your body, but don't worry, after a couple of times it will be easy to use and quick.Sorry for the long review! First time I leave a review in Amazon but I thought this product really deserved it!

The item just arrived, I have not used it yet. I'll add more details once I use it. So far it seems good. Easy to hold, not to heavy and I like that screen isn't too small.Can't wait to use it.*UPDATE*It is not painful in areas you have less hair. But in areas you have more hair (in my case my legs, underarms etc) it can be a bit painful. However, if you're as hairy as I am (I have Pcos so you can imagine how hairy I am) then this pain is nothing in comparison to other hair removal methods. I have used waxing which is painful plus it takes ages and I've used epilators and trust me, the meek little hot sting you feel for 2 seconds while using this device is nothing in comparison. Today was my first week of use and I will make another update a few weeks later. So far my advice would be to read the guide book that comes with it and just go for it. Shave your hair right before using, I say this because the light wants to target your roots, so, your roots should be exposed to it. That's all I've got folks, All the best.*UPDATE 2*Have been using it for a few weeks now, however not as frequently as was suggested, it's because i got busy with uni. Anyhow, even with me not following all the instructions that well, this device still showed results. For starters my hair takes wayyyyy longer to grow now, more importantly, I'll actually have areas of my legs completely clean with some hairy patches here and there which reminds me i should pay attention to where i am lazering. Definitely would recommend investing in this product esp if your skin is light /fair and the hair is dark black. It works best on that combination.

Awesome machine! Works very well for me so far. 4th treatement and noticed hair are very slow to grow. Easy to use and very safe. Seen some scary stories online...so I wad a bit scared to use it. If you follow the DON'T DO before and after....everything is fine. No pain for me either (put I was using an epilator for many years 🤪). The precision adaptor is very useful for the face and hard to reach places (like knees, ankles, under arms). The cadr is a very nice extra to keep your machine safe. Would defo recommend 👍
