Treats my entire body easily and comfortably

Flexible head follows the contours of your body
Safe treatment thanks to skin sensor
It comes with a handy facial hair remover.
For wired use only

With this IPL device, I can easily treat my entire body. It comes with handy attachments, such as a flexible head. This follows all the curves of my body during the treatment. However, the IPL device only works via a cord. So I have to stay near the power outlet.

Handy attachments and accessories I have used IPL devices before, but this one works much better than the devices I am used to. This is mainly due to the attachment with the flexible raised edges. Thanks to the flexible edges, the attachment always stays in contact with my skin. This is handy, for example, around the curve of my knee. As a result, the treatment is easier and I don't miss anything. The other attachments are also handy. The smallest attachment is perfect for my face. With this, I work precisely around my lip without treating the wrong spots. Think of the skin on my lip. The included facial hair remover is also very handy. Before I remove facial hair, I have to shave the hairs short, and that is very easy with this device.

Safe hair removal What I also like is that the IPL device works safely thanks to the skin sensor. During hair removal, the sensor measures my skin tone and automatically adjusts the light pulse accordingly. This ensures that I always remove hair with the correct light intensity without having to think about it myself. The device has a total of 10 light intensity levels. It therefore adjusts the setting very precisely to my skin. However, the device only works via a cord. So, I have to stay near the power outlet during treatment.

Result The device fits very comfortably in my hand and is not too heavy. Thanks to the nice storage bag, I also take it with me everywhere along with all the accessories. I saw results quite quickly, after about 3 to 4 weeks. Especially on my legs, where the hairs are thinnest. The light pulse itself does take some getting used to. On thin areas of skin, it sometimes feels a bit warm and sensitive. But the device has special sensitive settings. I choose this setting when I want to comfortably treat sensitive body parts. This is nice for the first treatments.

Does what it's supposed to do so far, happy with it

Recently, I had the opportunity to test the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 IPL hair removal device and share my opinion on it.

At the beginning of the testing, it takes a little figuring out exactly how everything works, but once you get started, it is super easy.

The device fits comfortably in the hand and glides smoothly over the skin.

I definitely recommend installing the Braun app, as it guides you step-by-step through the hair removal process with a personalized schedule. That makes using it really extra easy and clear.

Of course, performance is what matters in the end, but looks matter too. The device looks super luxurious, and I think the gold details are really beautiful. Additionally, it comes in a handy case where you can neatly store the device and attachments.

I am incredibly curious about the final result, but even during the build-up phase, I am already noticing improvement.

Hair growth is visibly decreasing, and that is exactly what I expect from it. So far, the device is certainly doing what it is supposed to do.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Highly recommended for hair removal

Many attachments
Works really well
Not cordless

I have been using the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 for a few weeks now, and my hair is growing back increasingly slowly, which I am happy about. Thanks to the various attachments included, I can treat every body part effectively. There is even an attachment for very sensitive skin. During testing, the light flashes felt a bit warm, but I did not experience any pain. The head that rests on the skin is flexible, allowing the device to effectively catch every single hair. I am very happy with the device and will definitely continue using it.
