What is IPL?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light.
IPL achieves long-lasting hair reduction by sending hair follicles to sleep.
The light emitted is absorbed by the melanin – the pigment that gives hair its colour.
This generates heat in the hair follicles leading to long-lasting results.
IPL versus laser.
IPL and Laser are both light-based hair removal methods. They are different types of light but with a similar mode of action that enables hair growth reduction over time. No consensus exists on whether IPL or Laser is more effective. Treatment effectiveness can, however, be affected by treatment regimen, level of energy used, hair colour, skin colour and coverage.
With Braun’s IPL, take back control:
No appointments.
Pay once: no hidden costs.
Privilege privacy.
Full body treatment.³
Visible results from home.
Monochromatic coherent light source.
Broadband pulsed light source.
At-home IPL treatment offers long lasting smooth skin for men and women. With Braun’s most advanced IPL devices, you can achieve visible results in as little as 3 weeks.¹

Within 4 uses I had hardly any hairs at all on my legs I have olive skin with dark hair that grows FAST. In summer I usually have to shave every couple of days now I'm not shaving at all. I'm almost finished with the recommended treatment before moving to maintenance. Would absolutely encourage someone to buy this 10/10. I'm now using on top of legs, bikini line and underarms. For someone who is high maintenance with shaving it sounds OTT but it's literally life changing lol.
Silk-expert Pro 5 review (13/06/2023)
I have used this for about a month now, I can really see the difference already, my hair on my legs are growing back slightly but that's because I have missed some
hairs. I am so shocked with how quickly it has worked and very impressed. Have recommended to family and friends about this product. Its really easy to use and
love that it all fits into a carry case.

Silk-expert Pro 5 review (03/08/2021)
Iv been after a IPL for ages as they look amazing and this one doesn't disappoint at all. The case is beautiful as is the IPL itself. Iv been using this for a month now
and have seen a small difference already. It is so easy to use although took me a while first time as I wanted to make sure I did it right. Definitely recommend this
anyone who's thinking about getting one.

Silk-expert Pro 5 review (13/06/2023)
[This review is part of a promotion] I’ve been using this for about 3 months now and it is AMAZING! after the first go i didn’t notice any different, but after the 2nd my hairs were noticeably thinner. And now after 3 months they have completely gone. It is virtually painless you can just feel almost like a little pulse. It’s absolutely life changing!
Silk-expert Pro 5 review (07/10/2021)
[This review is part of a promotion]I’ve never done laser hair removal before so I have to admit I was a bit nervous at first when using the product. Honestly I didn’t have anything to worry about! The instruction were very clear and easy to understand. As recommended for first time users I only did it once a week and on a weaker setting. I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort and didn’t develop any kind of irritation afterwards. […]

Why use IPL Hair Removal Machine at Home?
If you have dark or dark brown skin, your skin contains more melanin. Since darker skins contain more melanin which absorbs higher amounts of light energy, using IPL will cause discomfort if energy is not properly regulated. Always consult the colour and hair skin chart to see if it’s safe and effective for you to use IPL hair removal treatments. Braun’s IPLs are suitable for skin tones I to V only to ensure optimal safety and efficacy. Our IPLs use Skin Pro technology, which continuously and automatically ensures that only eligible skin tone gets treated. Usually, IPL works best on people with dark hairs and fair skin.
Is your skin tone & hair colour suitable for IPL treatment?
For women, you can use the Braun Silk·expert Pro 5 IPL in the pubic area, including mons pubis, labia majora, perineum and around the anus. You should avoid using your IPL on extra-sensitive areas such as the labia minora, vaginal opening, nipples, or anus as this could cause inflammation.
Suitable even on pubic areas
Yes, men can use IPL too! Braun’s IPL devices can be used for treatment of the back, chest, arms, underarms, and legs. IPL is not recommended for men’s facial hair, neck, and intimate areas.
