What is IPL?
IPL, Intense Pulsed Light, achieves long-lasting hair reduction by sending hair follicles to sleep. The light emitted is absorbed by the melanin in your hair. This generates heat in the hair follicles, interrupting your hair growth cycle and preventing the hairs from growing back. Regular use leads to up to 2 years of smooth skin¹.
IPL vs. Salon 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. For both technologies, treatment effectiveness varies by treatment regimen, level of energy used, body hair color, skin color and coverage.
Our at-home alternative to laser provides salon-like results with 95% hair reduction in just 1 month¹.
Monochromatic coherent light source.
Broadband pulsed light source.
Does IPL work?
The at-home alternative to laser offers up to 2 years of smooth skin¹ for women and men. The professional-like technology of Braun IPL devices helps you achieve visible results as of the 1st use⁷.

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 (27/08/2021)
I have been using it for months! And it works so well!!! Love its skin safe function. My legs hair was treated within a few minutes. I can’t believe it is so good. The package is very nice as well. Would like to recommend it!!!
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.
