[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This comes with a nice carrying case so it makes it easy to travel with if needed. Easy to understand and use. I used this product on my husband to test it out before I tried it on myself and it works great! It was pain free, quick process, and left my legs silky smooth!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 is a good quality and reliable home IPL system. This isn’t my first type using a home IPL but I still made sure to do a patch test as recommended. I liked that the SensoAdapt automatically adjusts output power level for skin color/tone. There are useful lights on the side to show you the level being used. There are three settings (standard, sensitive and extra sensitive) but I mostly used standard after a few patch tests. I liked that it recharged relatively fast between flashes so that it didn’t take a long time to finish a session. I have committed to using this mostly on my lower legs and underarms, so I don’t really need all 3 different sized treatment heads. However, I do like that I have the choice to change the size if I want to do a smaller area. I didn’t find the flash to be too bright but I did look away as is recommended when in use. The controls are easy to use and understand. I found the construction of the machine to be well made. It is easy to hold in my hands and comfortable. The ergonomic shape does mean that it does take up a bit of room. I was surprised by how large the base station was but I do like that the plug on the cord is small and easy to plug into outlets without taking up multiple spots. I don’t think it will be easy to travel with due to the size of the base station and the machine (not impossible though) but I also don’t see myself wanting to use this on vacation and don’t mind using this only at home. The included pink case is really cute and pretty, even if unnecessary and bulky. The divisions inside make it annoying to remove the device since there are three levels with the cord, machine, and base station on separate levels so you have to pull everything out. It is still a nice touch though and makes the whole process feel special. While this system can be used by a wide range of skin and hair colors, the technology is really only for some and I like that the box and written materials are very clear on this. I do wish they had more information on hair growth cycles and how IPLO technology functions so that consumers have a more realistic understanding of what to expect. Use is not recommended when your skin is tan so these winter months are a great time for me to use this to get ready for the warmer months. It takes 12 weeks to be finished with initial weekly sessions, so I cannot speak to the end result but I am looking forward to seeing what happens.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This IPL hair remover is very easy to use. It is almost painless and I can definitely see my hair grow back much slower and thinner. I think if I follow the instructions the results will be soon seen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical about this at first. I have had laser hair removal done on my underarms at a laser spa and was pleased with the results but not the cost. I didn’t think a treatment I could do at home could be effective. I was WRONG! It is simple to use and gives great results. I like that you can adjust the settings to your comfort level too. Def recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Braun US NEW Silk Expert Pro 5 IPL is a great substitute for hair removal and it works amazingly! I have PCOS so I grow unsightly hair quickly and often! I love that I have access to this from the privacy of my own home and I can use it for whatever body part I want to remove all this hair. I highly recommend folks give this a try. You definitely will be making a great investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband has this stubborn patch of back hair that he is extremely self conscious about- he isn’t able to reach it by himself and constantly asks me to shave it (something we both dread). He would have never go to a salon to have it removed and is honestly too sensitive to wax it. After several uses of the braun, our back shaving sessions are almost non-existent! (Yay) We both have used this product to removed unwanted hair from sensitive areas and I’m so impressed with the results. We have salon quality without the cost and without leaving the comfort and confidentiality of your own home. BEST PART- discomfort is minimal to non- existent. The unit is lightweights and easy to operate- once you study the instructions. Highly recommend reading the instructions CAREFULLY! The light indicator is really useful to ensure that it’s working effectively. I wasn’t expecting such a bright flash of light and was surprised to find no discomfort during and after use. I’ve been using this for about a five weeks and the hair is coming in so much finer and I’m finding I have to shave way less often (I’m thinking once every two weeks right now/ before every 2 days). This hair removal system does work but it is not a one and done solution—-you must be diligent and put in the time and use it weekly until your hair growth stops. The product is beautiful and comes with everything you need to complete the entire process- including a brand new razor. Even the bag is beautiful and high-end. 1000 times recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was kind of scared at first but so excited to try this product out to see if it would work because I hate having to shave my legs so often. Since they recommend using it on a lighter skin tone, I thought this winter would be a perfect time to get started. I felt a little intimidated at first because this seems like such a professional product and I didn’t feel that I was qualified to use it, but it is actually very easy to use once you read through the easy-to-follow instructions. Most important is to make sure you shave well first to remove all the hair in the area you want to treat and pat your skin dry. I have pale skin with thick, dark hair that grows very fast so in the past I would have to keep shaving at least every other day to keep it from being noticeable. Before using this product, it seemed like my legs would start feeling prickly from hair coming back in the same day I shaved. I’ve used this once a week for a month so far. The second week I noticed my hair didn’t grow very fast at all and when it did come back in the hair was softer feeling and much finer, not as prickly. I do have some spots that I noticed no hair has grown back yet. They recommend after 3 months of weekly use you should be able to go down to once a month for maintenance. My skin already feels so silky smooth after using this product. I haven’t experienced any irritation after using it either. It is very easy to use. It may take a couple tries at first to figure out how to hold it right so it can sense your skin correctly, but once you get the hang of it the process is a breeze and you can glide right along. There are 3 different settings you can adjust for strength. The first 2 don’t hurt too bad and are more of like a warm sensation, pinch or a sting for a split second, but the strongest one can be just a little painful. It is recommended to start out on the lowest setting to get used to it. There are 2 different size attachments so you can use it in smaller areas like bikini, chin, or upper lip or larger areas like your legs, arms, and stomach. It does have a sensor that picks up differences on skin tone such as moles or tattoos and adjusts. It has a light that flashes to tell you if it is in proper contact with a valid skin tone. It would be easier to maneuver if it was wireless, but I’m sure that would compromise the length of time you could use it at once. It is very bright when it flashes but wearing sunglasses and looking away during the flash helps. I like that it also comes with a nice case to store all the pieces in and it makes it easy to travel with, if needed. I’m really looking forward to the summer months of sporting shorts with smooth legs and not needing to worry about looking down at my legs to see hairs I missed screaming out at me or realize that I forgot to shave and then be self-conscious the rest of the day. I have already recommended this product to all the ladies I know.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in the operating room where we use a laser to burn hair follicles to prevent regrowth. This product is on par with that machine. It really works! I use it as directed and on several areas to see if I noticed a difference. According to the instructions the treatment needs to be repeated once a week for several weeks and then maintained on a 1-2 month basis. After just one treatment you can see a DRAMATIC difference. The hair grew back much slower and thinner. It does produce a sharp tingle when shooting the red light, but honestly it’s not that bad and completely worth the amazing results! I highly recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this hair removal system does work but you must be diligent and put in the time and use it weekly until your hair growth stops. this kit comes with everything you would need. impressed. Easy to use, no settings to change or switch as the machine decides all that for you. takes the thought out of that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been curious about trying to stop product for a while but I haven’t made the leap. So thankful I did because this removes unwanted hair and the stress of keeping up with shaving every time I turn around. I feel proud of myself.
