Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have been using this once a week for a month and saw results after 3 weeks! Some areas need more frequent sessions if the hair is thicker. The sensor can be annoying when it’s not detecting contrast between the skin and hair follicle. I’m noticing it zaps a bit slower when I’m gliding, and the device is getting hot or if I’m using it at medium strength. Anticipate a session may take you slightly longer. Love the pouch it comes with; it’s super sleek. The regular head and additional precision head come in handy.

It really works ! It is fast and doesn’t hurt, I love it .

This product works 100% well in certain areas of my body. For me was under my armpit and legs and top bikini area. I haven’t needed or used lasers since I bought this 2 years ago.

I have only been able to use this for about 3 weeks, but I have already noticed a massive difference!!!

Results after just one use on legs and underarms. However, 4 weeks in and the not so much change on the face region.

I like it but expensive. Good after move hair good

It actually works. It takes time but my hair is noticeably my thinner

Light skin and dark hair is where it’s at. Unfortunately I don’t have dark hair. But I have seen some improvement.

Better than going to the spa. I'm serious! I payed for a few expensive sessions a few years ago, but could not finish the whole treatment at the time. It did decrease the amount of hair a little but since it's been a few years, I noticed it started to come back. I bought this device and WOW. Here are the reasons why I prefer this to the spa. 1. Much cheaper 2. I can control how much discomfort I feel (it was painful at the spa because they wanted the treatment to work faster, so the session was way more intense). 3. If you are doing private parts nobody need to mind your business. 4. You can do it once a week. At the spa, you can only do it once a month which I think it took longer for me to see results. 5. Once you're hair free, eventually it will start to grow again a little bit after a few months. Now you can do the maintenance at home rather than paying more money going to the spa again. PS: I bought a cheap one on Amazon that I had to return. It actually started to make my hair grow faster, and it is not a joke. There were a bunch of positive results, but it didn't work for me. I decided to buy something safer, and this product has done the job with excellence. I'm on my 8th week, and the results are incredible. I can't wait to be hair free in a few more weeks. Also, I did buy it on sale, but I still think it's worth the regular price.

I’ve only had this for about a month but I already can tell a difference on my face and underarms. Being consistent is going to help things go a lot faster. Definitely recommend if you have embarrassing unwanted hair. Super fast and easy to use. Not very painful either except for delicate areas.

Works perfectly. Basically painless, only few minutes to complete the treatment. Sometimes it might get a bit hot but it’s just a matter of adjusting the intensity depending on areas being treated. I’ve seen results since the first application.

Being Hispanic I’ve always dealt with dark facial hair, well that is no more! I’ve been using it on my upper lip and chin and 6 weeks later I haven’t touched my tweezer at all. I’ve also done my lower legs and great results on it. I started off on the lower settings and worked my way up. It feels like a rubber band hits your skin, so not so bad. I haven’t had any issues with the product or using it on my skin. I’m looking forward to not having to shave my legs this summer!

Very easy and safe. I'm using for 5 weeks and the results are visible. The hair of legs and around the mouth looks much thinner. For big region, you can use the continuous flashes. Amazing device.

I purchased this as a gift because I love it! I have medium/ tan skin and this thing literally saved my sanity. Stubborn face hairs are gone. No more plucking or crying in the mirror because of my skin. My underarms look better. No more ingrown hairs. And all while at home. I used this twice a week and after about 3 months of use the hair has not come back. The crazy part is that I spend almost 5k on laser hair removal prior to this purchase and it ALL came back. I could have saved my money and got this. Tips: use in a well lit area, shadows will trick the device into thinking the skin is not ready. Turn it on high for thick hairs If nothing is growing or if you feel you missed a spot , give yourself a good few weeks of no shaving or laser. Then you can tell where it has and has not worked. It doesn’t feel great but you get used to the zaps and burnt hair smell. That’s normal laser hair removal. Use sunscreen!! And use aloe after use to calm any red inflamed skin. I hope this helps anyone struggling with unwanted hair .

light weight and good shape for handling, easy to clean

I recently purchased the Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 IPL Permanent Hair Removal System, and I am incredibly pleased with its performance. One of the primary reasons I chose this device over others on the market is its exceptional speed. Unlike my previous machine, which left me exhausted after spending over an hour on both legs, the Silk-expert Pro 5 works significantly faster. The standout feature for me is the continuous function specifically designed for large to medium areas. This feature allows me to swiftly and effortlessly glide the device over my skin, covering a greater surface area in a shorter amount of time. It has revolutionized my hair removal routine, making it much more efficient and enjoyable. Additionally, I am impressed by the lightweight design of the Silk-expert Pro 5. This factor contributes to the overall comfort and ease of use during each session. Despite its lightness, the device exhibits excellent construction quality, assuring me of its durability and longevity. In conclusion, the Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 IPL Permanent Hair Removal System has exceeded my expectations. Its remarkable speed, combined with the convenient continuous function, has significantly reduced the time required for hair removal. The lightweight design and solid construction further enhance its appeal. I highly recommend this device to anyone seeking a fast, efficient, and reliable hair removal solution.

(fair skin / dark & coarse hair) I have been using this for 4 consecutive weeks now and it has greatly reduced my hair growth. it now takes most areas two weeks to grow back. For some areas with finer hair (toes, feet, top of thigh), hair stopped growing after two treatments. Areas that are growing back faster are definitely due to missing spots while doing the laser treatment. The glide feature is a little spotty, it is very picky about being flush on the skin and won't flash unless you have it absolutely flat, even with the smaller head attachment this makes it hard to get every spot on your larger areas (like legs). Only complaint: They didn't include eye protection with the kit. I've been using my own sunglasses and it still feels like the flash could be harmful to my eyes. I find myself closing my eyes when it flashes. Overall, I'm happy with this product and have definitely gotten my money's worth already!

I bought this mainly for my face because laser treatments are so expensive. It worked on my arms and legs.. but it would not work on my face. I’m a brown skinned girl and within the range of skin tones that they have mentioned on the box. I’ve owned multiple epilators from Braun and trusted the brand for more than 15 years. Don’t know what happened now though. I had to pick up another brand. It probably works for people lighter than me. I love the design. Quite aesthetic compared to others in the market. Easy to use too. I was disappointed it didn’t work on me.
