Unable to leave proper review
I can't give a review of product, but a warning for anyone wanting to purchase. You cannot use this on tattoos. It's in the fine print on the box. A little more bold in the manual. I did it so you don't have to. It hurts.

The future of hair removal.
This Hair removal system is the future. I was skeptical of this system at first but I thought id give it a try. The contents come in a very nice carrying bag neatly packaged. The contents include a shaving kit. It is necessary to shave the location where the device will be used. The system works with a downloadable app that helps you step by step on how to begin to use the system. The system is designed for a one person use, as it detects the color tone of your skin. My first use to test the device was on the lower part of my arm. I shaved the area for testing and used the device. It was an unexpected flash. A slight heat came from the device and there was a smell of burned hair. The device is not wireless, it has to be plugged in while in use. The device needs to warm up before use. It can also be adjusted if the device is too strong. The package included different heads for different locations. The manufacturer warns that not all locations in the body can be used with this device. A test should administered to make sure it is safe to continue to use in that area. The app tracks how many times the device has been flashed an keeps a calendar record of when it was used. Overall, this is a great product and cant wait to see the results.

Smooth Moves: My Braun IPL Pro 7 Early Impressions
I've been using the Braun IPL Pro 7 for a short time, and so far, I love it! While I wish I could have waited a few more weeks before writing this review—since the full hair removal process with this product takes time—I'm already impressed with what I've seen. First off, let’s talk about the carrying case that comes with it. I’m a big manly man, but I have to say, the rose gold/pink/beige-ish leather case is a standout. It’s beautifully crafted, with a sturdy zipper and a thoughtful design. It’s the perfect size for travel, with dedicated compartments for the IPL device, charging brick, and all the attachments. Plus, there's plenty of space to throw in a few extra razors. It’s a small but significant detail that adds to the overall premium feel of the package. Speaking of what's included, the box comes with everything you need to get started: the IPL (intense pulsed light) device, a power brick, and three head attachments for different areas. They even threw in a disposable razor so you can start your first session right out of the box. Everything is included, making it easy to begin the process immediately. I’ve used the Braun IPL Pro 7 three times so far, targeting three different areas of my body. Even with just a few uses, you can tell it’s working! When you press the button to activate the device, it emits a super bright flash, and you can feel a little “snap” on your skin in that area. The sensation doesn’t hurt, but you’re definitely aware of it. After using it, the treated skin feels a bit tighter and warm the next day, but nothing concerning—just a reassuring sign that it’s doing its job. It’s great to notice some early progress, even knowing that the real results will come with consistent use over the next few weeks. One of the highlights for me is the Braun app. It’s super easy to use and makes the whole process even smoother. The app guides you through setting up the device and using it properly, which was a big help for a beginner like me. You can also set up a customized session schedule, breaking it down by different body areas where you want to remove hair. It even sends you notification reminders, so you never miss a session. It’s a thoughtful feature that takes the guesswork out of the whole process. Overall, both my wife and I are thrilled with this little gadget. We’re excited to see how effective it is after the full schedule of sessions is complete. If you're looking for a sleek, user-friendly IPL device with thoughtful touches like a quality carrying case and an easy-to-navigate app, the Braun IPL Pro 7 is a solid choice!

Painless, Effective, and Convenient
The IPL hair removal by Braun is very well made and looks stunning. It's incredibly easy to use, lightweight, and designed for comfortable handling, thanks to its ergonomic structure. The device feels like a professional-grade tool, and it comes with everything you need, including a razor and a stylish storage case. It includes three interchangeable heads: standard, wide, and a smaller precision head for detailed areas. Another great feature about this hair removal machine is the ability to connect to Wi-Fi. That way you can monitor and control it from the phone App. If you never use this type of device I’ll suggest reading the manual which is easy to follow. Luckily my girlfriend had some experience, that certainly helps. First thing you want to do is download the Skin i-Expert app from either Apple Store or Google Play. Create and account and enter some information pertaining to your skin and hair color and other personal info. During this setup the device will automatically detect the color of your skin and hair as well. The app is quite useful and, in many ways, essential. It allows you to schedule sessions and sends reminders when it's time for your next treatment. I’ll reiterate the device is very simple to use and is very quiet. It is painless and it did not leave any marks on our skin. The laser is strong and works almost instantly after the machine is plugged in. However, the package doesn’t include any protective eyewear, and during our first session, the flash was so bright that it caused some discomfort, so I recommend using eye protection. Be advised the results are a gradual process. You won’t notice a difference, not at least after the second session. It is recommended to do it once a week and depending on the area the app will advise you how many sessions are required. Overall, the Braun IPL hair removal device is a highly effective at-home solution. It’s painless, leaves no skin marks or irritation, and its wireless functionality lets you manage it via your phone. With the app's reminders, you won’t miss any sessions. Best of all, it offers a cost-effective alternative to salon treatments. The box includes the IPL device, three heads, a razor with a cartridge, and a storage pouch.

Braun IPL Pro 7 – A guy's perspective.
I was one of those guys for many years that never considered shaving my chest. I finally gave in and the results were pretty impressive! My wife went nuts! I also loved how much more defined my chest looked from workouts and the looks at the pool from the ladies (and guys)…I was sold. I went big with a full chest and back wax every 5-6 weeks. Waxing…IS PAINFUL but Laser hair removal is expensive so I never considered that as an option….until now. My waxings were 50 bucks a pop and like I said I am committed, so 50 bucks until I get too old to care about my chest? No thanks. Enter the Braun IPL Pro 7. I know Braun and have used their face shavers for years and trust the brand. So I was excited to man up …and zap my chest… I figured it could not hurt as bad as waxing. IPL is a treatment that zaps intense light into the hair pigment which turns it into heat which damages the hair follicle. I had to look it up. I got the Pro 7 and opened the box. Well thought out presentation. It comes with a nice carrying case that holds all the chords and laser heads, a nice “welcome” QR code for the app, and an instruction manual. NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT… I don’t always read instruction guides…I like to get right to it BUT this is different. Because of the laser factor and lasers being able to burn ect (think of all the movies with lasers in them), I decided to read the instructions. There are some serious things to know about using this powerful device! -Do not use if you have dark skin, - Do not use if you have a sunburn or tan, - Do not use on nipples or genitals, Do not use if you have a history of skin cancer, Do not use on birthmarks or scars or tattoos. Those are the biggies but there are more. BE SURE TO READ THEM ALL. I read through them to make sure I safely get that smooth chest my wife and I love! Also for guys, you cannot use it on you beard. I got the app, which I love. It is super smart and intuitive and guides you right through the whole process. They advertise that it’s the first “learning” IPL system which I like. It told me that my skin and hair were a perfect match for the technology…I didn’t have to wonder. It also learns as I use it to maximize the benefit. AI is taking over everything!!! I did have a little trouble pairing Bluetooth but to be fair I just got the new iPhone and maybe some of the Bluetooth pairing glitches were me. In any event, I had to forget and repair a few times. Once paired up, the Braun app took me through a “skin test” to make sure my hair and skin were in the acceptable treatment range. I am mildly hairy, with dark brown hair and an olive skin tone and the app said I was perfect. I placed the Braun IPL Pro 7 head on my mid stomach (since that is the most sensitive part of my chest) and “ZAP”. I could feel a sting and I could see some mild redness. It stung a little more than I had anticipated. I might have got myself all psyched out though. I had to wait 15 minutes to see if there was a reaction. 15 minutes came and there was no pain but I could see a red mark and it itched a little. Back to the instruction manual. There is a section that reads” Possible side effects”. It told me that “mild pain/ discomfort in the area being treated was normal” so the minor sting was no big deal. Itchiness in the treatment area was common, so ok there as well. It also stated that skin redness that disappears in minutes is also expected BUT if the redness lasts longer than 24 – 48 hours…Stop using the device. So I waited, the redness was gone in a few hours with no itchiness. Definitely not 24- 48 hours but for sure was not a few minutes either. Now the Braun IPL Pro 7 has three settings of intensity. I did my test on the strongest setting. I did another test a day later on the second setting which was the medium intensity. I could still feel a slight sting (and I swear I got a hint of burning hair but I could not be certain) and a little redness but the redness was gone in a few minutes. So I was all set. Setting two was the magic number. Back to the app and again, it’s very useful and super helpful. I set up a program or rather it set up one for me to follow (see pic). Every week I zap my chest for the prescribed time and in 11 weeks I should be hairless! Due to the long timeline, I am unable to tell you if it worked or not at this stage. I plan to set a reminder on my phone and come back and update this review. But by the sting and slight smell of burnt hair follicles…I’d say it is working! Lol Overall. I really like this product. There are some serious things to be aware of so BE SURE to read all the warnings! But even the slight sting and itchiness is nothing compared to going and having all your chest hair ripped out of your chest! NOW THAT HURTS! I will do this for 11 weeks no problem. I am just glad I have the option to do this in the comfort of my own home using a brand I trust! I can’t wait for the next pool season!
