BraunIPL Silk·Expert Pro 5 PL5157 Latest Generation IPL, Holiday Gifts for Women and Men, at-Home Hair Removal System with Soft Pouch and Precision Head

I was kind of scared of buying this since is $$$ and i have very sensitive (like really reactive to EVERYTHING, you name it) skin, and this little piece of heaven delivered like a champ. I have very thick hair in my legs, i did laser like twice in my lifetime, full 10-12 sessions each time, and my hair grew back after a short time and i wasn’t spending more money like that, so i just started shaving and that brought me here, im not saying professional laser doesn’t work, it does, but i don't have the time or money to keep going to the spa for retouch. I use it in my face (no breakouts), in my legs, bikini line and underarms, the hair does not grow back thicker or fast, and some places are like hairless after like a week without shaving (i got bit by a mosquito and that always gets infected).This is it, after my skin gets better, ill try again, im still doing it in my underarms and bikini, i had less hair there so im not taking that in consideration, the real battle is with my face and legs. It doesn’t hurt or make my skin any different than what i feel everyday, i do use a heavy cream after washing with cold water, and antibiotic wash, use clean towels and let the cream air dry, no clothes until my skin fully absorbed everything and no makeup til the next day. This so far is worth every penny.. i even relax while doing it. Will update further on. (Sorry for the sensitive skin part being so long).**********UPDATE: Please digest the photos before reading my update.As you can see i have severe reaction to almost everything in my skin, i had an accident in 2020 and since then it all got worse, i was exposed to so many things (dirt, debris, hard antibiotics, really hard meds in general) and it too a toll in my already sensitive skin. I did everything, and when i say everything i mean it, im a very conscious atopic person, so i was always cautious with everything i tried, nothing worked, bought my own wax, my own sticks, my own warmer, i didn't shave with a used before razor (never), did exfoliate with gentle scrub before every procedure, washed with antiseptic soap after and used the Dermacortine, Avene, and other soothing products after (always staying still until each one dried)… etc. Again, nothing worked for me. After the allergy of the second photo (already healing by then) broke i was hospitalized for several days with the doctors worried the infection might get in the bone or the material inside (lots of titanium) and risk my legs.After that i gave up. No shorts ever, no skirts, and it was fine. But then my dermatologist suggested IPL, she suggested i do it as an in office treatment, but i seriously cant afford the traveling and cost of it as i said before.Now, this is a very heartfelt thank you to this company.Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this product, you saved my legs. This works. THIS WORKS! I do it only once a week, after a soft scrub exfoliation, and antiseptic soap, lotion and cream (and sometimes cold Alucal or brief cold gel bags on them) after treatment.Its a long way to go, i know, and retouches and care, but i finally found a hair removal solution that works, works me doing it, and in my own house, only one $ for it.I couldn't be happier.(Sorry for the very graphic pics, they were worse trust me)

I thought it was a good IPL machine, my sister thinks it’s not as powerful for coarse hair.I have a different brand, but this one seemed nicer. Since it was her gift, she sent it back to get a stronger version of it for herself. .

I have course, thick hair. This product is working well! I've been using it at least once a week for about 6 weeks now. My hair growth has slowed quite a bit. I'm so happy. I like the adjustable power modes. I use high power on my legs and lower power on my bikini line and underarms. Very happy with this purchase.

The product is satisfying! The after sale service and customer support are excellent. Thank you both Amazon and Braun!

So far, this hair remover tool has been terrific. It has effectively removed a major part of my facial hair. Now I am only dealing with a small amount, which is more manageable. And now I can use the attachment that focuses on single hairs/areas. I have tried several others, but this one is by far the best!

Excelente producto la he usado un poco mas de 2 meses y el bello a reducido mucho, realmente la recomiendo

Does it reduce the hair growth speed? A bit. Does it stop hair growth after months and months (and months, not the stated 12 weeks) of use…no, it does not.I have olive skin and medium brown hair. After shaving my legs and using this device, the main benefit is that I do not get itchiness from regrowth that otherwise happens after shaving alone, but nonetheless plenty of hair is on my legs within 5-6 days, albeit it tends to be a bit softer than regular post-shave stubble.I used this consistently for almost 6 months prior to switching to maintenance mode - I was afraid to keep going, no idea if this additional light exposure increases skin cancer risks etc, rather be safe than sorry.I cannot use the device on anything but the low setting for any extended use, if I try, it becomes rather painful as the unit heats up after about 2 minutes and you quickly get that gross smell of burning skin (no thank you). Not sure if this has to do with insufficient cooling from the fan or what. And no, I am not going too slow causing the burn, glide is just like in the instructions - it’s that anywhere this thing hits gets a burning sensation after said 2min duration. On low, I am able to use it for closer to 4mins before the same thing starts to happen. So I tend to have to take breaks in a single session before I can finish both lower legs.

It's super easy and safe to use, please READ the manual!I am on the 4th week of use and I can tell there's a difference in hair growth. I can see it's growing a lot slower than before, specially on the legs. Changing the heads is super easy. The sensitive mode is great for intimate areas.Something that worries me is that the more I use it, the more "missed flashes" I get, meaning that I press the button but get no light. When this happens I check that both sensors are touching the skin and that there's no red light, I press and still get nothing. This has happened even when I just started the session. The manual says the machine needs ~1 second to recover, but I have to wait 3-4 seconds and press again to get the pulse. It's an inconvenience since it makes the sessions longer but as long as I get the pulses I'm fine. I'm just worried it will stop working soon since this is happening more and more often. I will update if it happens.Overall I like the results so far.UPDATE! I'm on week 6 and I barely have any hair on my legs and armpits. I'm very happy! Although I feel like it will stop working at any moment LOL! The "missed flashes" are getting worse. I even had to push the button up to 6 times to get 1 flash. Sensors were giving me a white light, meaning that the skin color is OK and the machine was in contact with the skin. It's getting annoying since it makes the sessions much more slower.
