    The Braun Pro5 PL5147 Women's IPL Hair Removal Kit in White-Gold has been a game-changer in my beauty routine. Its IPL technology has remarkably reduced hair growth, leaving my skin smoother for longer periods. The device is easy to use, featuring an ergonomic design and user-friendly controls. I appreciate its safety features, including a skin tone sensor, ensuring a secure and effective treatment. One standout aspect is its versatility, accommodating different skin tones and hair types. The attachments and settings allow for precision in various body areas, making it a comprehensive solution. The device operates at a comfortable speed, providing a quick and efficient hair removal process without compromising results. The build quality is impressive, and it feels durable in hand. The cordless design enhances convenience, and the battery life is sufficient for multiple sessions. While the price might be a bit steep, the results and the overall quality justify the investment.

Overall, the Braun Pro5 PL5147 is a top-tier IPL hair removal solution, offering a blend of efficiency, safety, and convenience that makes it well worth considering for anyone seeking long-term hair reduction.

    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.

    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!

    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 .

    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.

    This thing works great! I was cautiously optimistic about the results this thing would deliver and it lived up to the hype. You have to make sure and follow the directions to get the best results. If you wait too long between uses your results will be very slow coming. I noticed results after about 3 weeks and then I got off track using it and I definitely regressed a little bit. I got back on schedule and the results have been great. Now I only use it periodically if needed

    (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!

    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 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.

    Amazing At Home Product

    As someone who has had professional laser hair removal on and off for years, this is a great at home product. Yes, you have to be consistent. You aren't going to see the results you want unless you follow the instructions correctly and consistently. Hair grows slower and lighter from the start, and I have seen at least 50% in reduction within a few months. This is a fraction of the cost of going in for professional treatments and obviously from the comfort of your own home. Happy so far!

    I’ve had this personal hair removal kit for over six weeks now and I’m very pleased with the results. The price is high compared t some other products but so far it seems worth it. My skin is super smooth and I haven’t had any issues with my skin even in the more stubborn areas. It is very easy to use and each well session is short.
