About this product
Skip the salon appointments and treat yourself at home. This Braun IPL uses advanced light technology for long lasting hair reduction when you follow the treatment plan. You could see results from as early as 2 sessions. The Smart SkinProtect Sensor automatically adjusts each flash to suit your skin tone, so every treatment is tailored to you. It's been tested on skin and works across different skin tones. The box includes 3 attachment heads (standard, precision, wide), a Gillette Venus razor, and a storage pouch. A full body session takes around 10 minutes.
Start with weekly treatments for the first 4 to 12 weeks, then switch to maintenance sessions every 1 to 2 months depending on your needs. The wide head covers larger areas like legs and arms quickly, while the precision head is designed for smaller zones like the face, armpits and bikini line. It's corded only, so no charging interruptions mid-session. Works on legs, arms, chest, back, face, armpits and bikini area. Not suitable for red, very blonde, grey or white hair. Avoid using on the scalp, eyebrows, nipples, genitals or around the eyes.

Great storage case, easy to use design.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product easy to use hand held design, With a lovely storage case. No discomfort during and after use. However due to the short time frame on the review window I’m not really able to advise on the hair loss aspect, for noticeable results the time frame suggests is much longer. But so far I’m really happy with the product and will continue to use.

Ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an ok product. It is easy enough to use but the zap makes me jump! It comes in an easy tonuse storage bag. Can't say about results yet as havent used it long enough but seems ok at the moment. I have pale skin and dark hair in certain areas and the zaps worked fine. I haven't tried the continuous feature yet as I used under the armpit.

A timeless investment for the discerning you !!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent product which is dermatologically tested and which gives long lasting results. It has IPL - intense pulse light , like laser , use light to stop hair regrowth. As the company promises I got visible results in first two sessions. I used it once a week.It has smart skin protector sensors which identify our skin tones and adjust the intensity of flashlight. It has 10 intensity levels. The flashlight bulb doesn’t have ti be changed or replaced as it’s long lasting. It also has 3 modes as gentle, extra gentle and normal. This product is easy to use: first of all clean and do patch test on areas to be used. Then shave the area as it will help the light energy to focus on hair foliates beyond the skin. Plug the device to a power source and switch on the power. However the intensity is automatically detected we can still manually adjust it. Press the flash button to deliver a pulse of light. Then smoothly glide the device over your skin. However in first use you will find a sensation because of the flash. But it’s completely safe and effective to use Product is very easy to clean. It comes with precision head, one Gillette razor and a beauty pouch which makes it easier to store and even carry . This product is bit on expensive side but can be seen as an investment as it gives long lasting benefits and with upto two years of smooth skin

Easy comfortable and visible results
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so impressed by the Silk Expert Pro. I have been using this for a month and can already see the difference, my skin stays smooth and hair growth is much slower. It is comfortable to use and doesn’t hurt or burn like wax does and is easy to use and keep yourself maintained. The only thing is that it’s a bright light so maybe wear sunglasses!

Easy convenient effective home hair growth reducti
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a joy to use, from opening the box and reveal the stylish red zipped case, through to usage. Straightforward easy to understand instructions, great extension to power lead ensuring uninterrupted usage in any situation. The slightest tingle when in use, however skin felt soft not irritated or red, after a few weeks it would appear that hair regrowth is reduced. So much more convenient and cost effective to use in own home

More Targeted hair removal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The IPL laser device is a Safeway to remove hair growth from your full body. It is safe enough to use without wearing safety glasses and very gentle on the skin skin. The sensor adapt feature auto adjust the laser flash from the light to detect lighter or darker patches of hair growth. You can see less hair growth results from the second time of use and full body sessions in 10 minutes. usage guidelines recommend using this device twice a month for a three month period of time it is also more suitable for lighter skin and dark hair. It is not however a permanent removal .Therefore follow up sessions are needed overtime to slow down hairy re growth . There are three different head attachments for specific body areas . This means a comfortable solution to hair removal. I have found that since the menopause and hormone changes I needed a solution for the fact my hair growth that become more noticeable . normal shaving was only a very short term relief this device helps me to cope with the changes in my hair growth and my skin feels calmer

Easy to use amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow wow wow! Stunning packaging, love the case which is included. Lightweight and super easy to use. Pain free too, I have used this 3 times so far and already can see the difference in the hair not growing back as quickly as it use to. It says use once a week for 4-12 weeks takes around 10-15 minutes maximum. Cant wait to see the end result after using it weekly for 12 weeks. Great travel case too to take away with you if needed.

Effective, easy-to-use IPL device that gives visib
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Braun IPL Silk expert Pro 5 for a while now and I’m honestly impressed. The device is super easy to use, very intuitive, and feels really high quality. The skin tone sensor automatically adjusts the intensity, which makes the treatment feel safe and comfortable. Pain level is very low , just a slight warmth, nothing scary. After a few sessions, I noticed slower hair regrowth and smoother skin. The only downside is that you need to stay consistent to see the best results, but that’s expected with IPL. Overall, a great at home alternative to salon treatments.

Excellent machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free of charge from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I’ve been using this home IPL machine and I’m really impressed so far. I have fair skin and dark hair, which it seems to work well for. The machine claims visible results after two sessions and I’d agree with that based on my experience. It’s so easy to use and feels manageable to do at home, which makes it a much more convenient and cheaper alternative to salon treatments. It’s not painful and relatively quick to do. The box comes with all the things you need including a Gillette Razor and a Smart Case to store it all in. Overall this is a fab set of equipment!

Hi RRR
There is no minimum age to start Laser, IPL or waxing treatments as long as there is hair growth in the first place. However, it is recommend that permanent hair reduction treatments should be started post puberty because hormonal changes during this time can affect and stimulate hair growth. If you are unsure, please consult your parent, guardian or physician.
Hope this helps. Thanks for using Q&A.
