[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, I was one of those that was scared of laser hair removal..most of all the do it yourself kind. I bought a cheap one and never used it because I was worried it would hurt. Then I found out Braun sold one that has been FDA approved for home use and decided to give it a try. I'm Caucasian with pale skin but have pesky chin hairs that I shave every morning. Used my new Braun IPL and I'm certain after a few more treatments, I won't have to shave anymore! It takes a few tries to get the hang of it and it's not completely painless but definitely tolerable and TOTALLY worth it! If you've ever been curious if it works, I am here to tell you...just do it! Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this product. It comes in this really cool case, with a bunch of different tips for different body areas, and even comes with a really nice razor for prep before use. The instructions are easy to follow and easy can’t wait to see how well it works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so glad I tried Braun Silk·expert Pro 5 IPL. It has the look and feel of high quality. It is beautifully packaged and comes with an attractive bag to store everything in. This presentation makes this product nice for gift giving as well as personal use. Good instructions are included with the equipment. It is easy to follow the directions. Operating the device is straightforward and simple. I was nervous before using it because I thought it could be painful. I put the unit on the lowest setting and didn't feel anything. I turned it up one setting and still didn't feel anything. On the highest setting I just felt a little heat that disappeared right away. My skin has not had any problems, not even redness, after use. It is easy to use and quickly become comfortable in operating the unit. I do recommend looking away from the flashing as it is bright even when pressed into the skin. I am excited to have this device, that it is so comfortable and easy to use. I know it is going to be a huge help with some concerns I have had recently.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying I’m an ideal candidate for IPL hair removal. I have fair skin and brown hair. I started noticing a slower growth rate in hair after a few uses so I know it’s working! Not much pain (I was expecting it). Most areas it doesn’t hurt at all but on some more sensitive areas like underarms, feels like a small pinch on high setting. I started lowering the strength a bit in this area. Cannot wait to continue using this and I hope it’s continues working as it has so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had gotten full body laser hair removal in the past but had patches left in several areas that were stubborn and wouldn't go away. I started using this device to target those areas and within one month those patches were significantly reduced. The device is very quick to use, feels like a warm light on the skin, and was safe for my medium/olive skin tone. Highly recommend!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just started using my NEW Braun Silk·expert Pro 5 IPL. This is definitely the Cadillac of hair removal IPL's. Right out of the package it was easy to use and everything you need is included. The best part is the beautiful case - it's wonderful to put everything together - less likely to misplace a part. I'm looking forward to seeing my results - I highly recommend!
