Braun IPL Silk Expert Pro 5, At Home Hair Removal, Alternative For Laser Hair Removal, Includes Pouch, Wide Head, 2 Precision Heads And Venus Razor, Gift For Women, White/Gold, PL5387

Things have moved on very swiftly in the IPL for use at home market since I first used one around 5 years ago. This is the best yet and worth consideration, even if you already have a device in use (as I do). • Suitability IPL technology is not suitable for everyone and I would urge a visit to the Braun website to read all the available information before you make a purchase. It is not suitable for use on red, white, grey or blonde hair and is less effective the darker your skin tone. Some medical conditions also render it unsuitable, things such as varicose veins, so it is worth reading the health warnings even if your skin and hair colours fit the criteria. • Use It works by targeting the root of the hair so you can shave to initially remove hair before a treatment, which will reduce the smell of burnt hair (hence the inclusion of a manual shaver in the kit). You can choose the level of intensity from extra gentle to normal; I chose normal as I have used similar devices for some time and just noticed some mild heat against my skin, which was not unexpected and felt fine. Choose extra gentle for the first few uses whilst you get used to it. You need to know that you will not see instant results and are likely to need to continue removing hair manually whilst you build up the process – there is a guide to follow. Hair will eventually fall out in most cases and you will notice regrowth becomes less frequent and softer over time. In my own case, I do not need to treat very often at all, and I now have patches of bare skin where hair barely, if ever grows. That is after about 4 years of occasional use after perhaps a year of regular treatments, so it does work. • Precision head I do not have this with the model I chose, so I just wanted to say that the IPL is fine for use on the face and I did not have any trouble with use even on toes where I have previously found it tricky getting the contacts to allow a flash. In my opinion, unless the cost differences are minimal, it isn’t worth paying significantly more for the models that include the precision head as the IPL without it is sufficiently flexible. • Is it worth updating your IPL? I have been using IPL technology for a while and debated whether it was worth buying a new model, particularly as I am in a maintenance phase with little input needed to achieve hair-free skin. I am pleased that I made the decision to buy as the speed of use has improved immensely from the first device I bought about 5 years ago. Then, I had to spend 30 seconds zapping a single area before moving on to the next; it took an hour or more to treat lower legs and even a model that is about a year old is still an order of magnitude slower than this Braun. This Braun model is phenomenally faster than any IPL I have used before, which makes it easy to fit in a session during even the busiest of days. There is no obvious delay for the lamp to recharge, it is literally a process that is held up by the time it takes you to move to another area with no waiting at all. • Comparison of models There are three latest models in the Braun Pro 5 range, which at the time of writing are PL5014, PL5137 and PL5124. Having spoken to Braun, I understand that the basic handheld IPL device itself is identical and the only differences between the three models are the inclusion of a precision head, different manual razors and different bags. All are safe to use on the face, albeit the precision tool may make application in that area easier; note that Braun has stated this tool will be available as a separate purchase soon. I opted for the PL5137 without the precision head as it was available at a good price by comparison to the other two. The manual razor is fine and largely irrelevant as it is a throw away product designed only for short term use. The bag that comes with this more basic option is surprisingly good and much better than any that have been supplied with my previous IPL devices. So, don’t let the bag or manual razor influence your decision. On the basis that you are getting the exact same IPL device across all three options and a decent bag even with the more basic package, your decision will largely be whether the additional cost of a model that includes the precision head is worthwhile. For me, it wasn’t, and I am pleased with the PL5137. • Summary The Braun IPL is compact, fast and comes with a good bag for storage. Check the Braun website for full usage instructions and cautions before you purchase to ensure its suitability, but it is a very good IPL option and I have no regrets about upgrading from my previous device, even though it was only a year old.

I got this product in last summer. But because of UV I didn’t take a dare to use. And I started doing patch tests from past three weeks I’ve been just using on My middle of a hand when I did twice and has a result it’s literally no hair grow in the middle part of my hand, it’s really really worked well.

I waited a little with the review, I bought it a month ago, started to use weekly, and I already see a huge difference! I have pale skin with dark hair, so on my leg I use the most intense level, that's where I have much less hair already. On other parts it takes more treatments, but I also start to see less hair growing back. I am satisfied, and can't wait to see the results after 12 weeks! 😊 The machine itself also easy to use, I am only struggling a little when it starts to become hot, and it takes more time to flash (on max. intensity). Then I just slow down with sliding, so the treatment becomes a little longer, but it's still manageable. Overall, I think it worth the money, especially on discounted price.

It’s good but I’m not sure about the price, I feel it is very expensive. I have only needed to use it twice and possibly need to use more to feel the benefit.

What an excellent! My item was obviously faulty and unreparable, today I have received a brand new replacement which works perfectly. Thank you so much, it is really appreciated.

Originally worked really well, but stopped working after a year. After a few months Amazon eventually sent a replacement, but this had the same problem after 9 months. As its out of the 1st product's warranty now, Amazon won't replace and Braun won't repair. Really disappointing 😔 As the same problem has happened twice, its clearly prone to faults. Would recommend you save your money and go for a longer lasting device.

I never write reviews, but I feel I have to for this! I know this is an expensive item, however, I am genuinely amazed by the results and am so pleased I took the plunge, as I'd been considering buying one for ages (wish I'd have done it sooner now!). I used it as directed for the 12 weeks and I'm now at 3 weeks of no use and there's still zero sign of any hairs on my legs, so am hopeful it will be a while before I need to do the top up. I've also used on my bikini line and armpits, and whilst I feel I need to use it for a few more weeks, there's definitely a massive improvement and VERY minimal hair growth in between the weekly use. It has been quite time consuming each week for the initial 12 weeks, but soooooo worth it! I would 100% recommend this product.

I've used it for 4 weeks and already seeing the results. I need to use a pencil to draw areas on my legs as I missed a bit and has 1 line of longer regrowth. Nearly pain free, occasionally feels like snapping elastic band on you skin. I could never use waxing or epilating as my pain threshold is very low. This product is a game changer and worth every penny. Edit: After going through the recommend treatment of using it once per week for 12 week I can confirm the difference is huge. I'm brunette, and when I shave, I have a stubble all over my legs the next day. After using this product, I only have small regrowth in patches after 10 days. This is amazing! Also, I can now enjoy swimming in the salty sea without any irritation. Worth every penny!

وصلنى ناقص القطعه الصغيره ؟؟!!!

Amazing

Gibt es zu dem Gerät auch eine deutsche Gebrauchtsanweisung? Wäre schon gut zu wissen wann und wie lange man das Gerät anwenden kann?! Vorallem auch ob es ein Akku oder nur mit Strom funktioniert?
