Things have moved on very swiftly in the IPL for use at home market since I first used one around 5 years ago. This is the best yet and worth consideration, even if you already have a device in use (as I do). • Suitability IPL technology is not suitable for everyone and I would urge a visit to the Braun website to read all the available information before you make a purchase. It is not suitable for use on red, white, grey or blonde hair and is less effective the darker your skin tone. Some medical conditions also render it unsuitable, things such as varicose veins, so it is worth reading the health warnings even if your skin and hair colours fit the criteria. • Use It works by targeting the root of the hair so you can shave to initially remove hair before a treatment, which will reduce the smell of burnt hair (hence the inclusion of a manual shaver in the kit). You can choose the level of intensity from extra gentle to normal; I chose normal as I have used similar devices for some time and just noticed some mild heat against my skin, which was not unexpected and felt fine. Choose extra gentle for the first few uses whilst you get used to it. You need to know that you will not see instant results and are likely to need to continue removing hair manually whilst you build up the process – there is a guide to follow. Hair will eventually fall out in most cases and you will notice regrowth becomes less frequent and softer over time. In my own case, I do not need to treat very often at all, and I now have patches of bare skin where hair barely, if ever grows. That is after about 4 years of occasional use after perhaps a year of regular treatments, so it does work. • Precision head I do not have this with the model I chose, so I just wanted to say that the IPL is fine for use on the face and I did not have any trouble with use even on toes where I have previously found it tricky getting the contacts to allow a flash. In my opinion, unless the cost differences are minimal, it isn’t worth paying significantly more for the models that include the precision head as the IPL without it is sufficiently flexible. • Is it worth updating your IPL? I have been using IPL technology for a while and debated whether it was worth buying a new model, particularly as I am in a maintenance phase with little input needed to achieve hair-free skin. I am pleased that I made the decision to buy as the speed of use has improved immensely from the first device I bought about 5 years ago. Then, I had to spend 30 seconds zapping a single area before moving on to the next; it took an hour or more to treat lower legs and even a model that is about a year old is still an order of magnitude slower than this Braun. This Braun model is phenomenally faster than any IPL I have used before, which makes it easy to fit in a session during even the busiest of days. There is no obvious delay for the lamp to recharge, it is literally a process that is held up by the time it takes you to move to another area with no waiting at all. • Comparison of models There are three latest models in the Braun Pro 5 range, which at the time of writing are PL5014, PL5137 and PL5124. Having spoken to Braun, I understand that the basic handheld IPL device itself is identical and the only differences between the three models are the inclusion of a precision head, different manual razors and different bags. All are safe to use on the face, albeit the precision tool may make application in that area easier; note that Braun has stated this tool will be available as a separate purchase soon. I opted for the PL5137 without the precision head as it was available at a good price by comparison to the other two. The manual razor is fine and largely irrelevant as it is a throw away product designed only for short term use. The bag that comes with this more basic option is surprisingly good and much better than any that have been supplied with my previous IPL devices. So, don’t let the bag or manual razor influence your decision. On the basis that you are getting the exact same IPL device across all three options and a decent bag even with the more basic package, your decision will largely be whether the additional cost of a model that includes the precision head is worthwhile. For me, it wasn’t, and I am pleased with the PL5137. • Summary The Braun IPL is compact, fast and comes with a good bag for storage. Check the Braun website for full usage instructions and cautions before you purchase to ensure its suitability, but it is a very good IPL option and I have no regrets about upgrading from my previous device, even though it was only a year old.

I've waited a few months to review this item and now I can comfortably say this may be one of the best investments I've ever made! This truly gets rid of all your unwanted hair. Just keep in mind this machine only works on lighter skin tones. Don't waste your money on professional laser sessions, this does the exact same job at the comfort of your home. Read more

Used this twice so far. It claims to see results in 4 weeks which I haven’t reached yet so can’t say if it works or not. Pain is manageable. I was a bit scared before starting my first session. I would say start the first session on lower intensity just to see how your body reacts then increase the intensity. Read more

After using it for more than 4.5 months, continuesly and regularly, the hair is exactly as strong as it was in all areas! Read more

Used it for 4mos now and it’s really effective and easy to use (not using it as often as before now). Hair growth slowed down a lot and new hair is way thinner than usual. It does sting a little in the beginning but you’d get used to it in a while. Read more

I was skeptical about getting this product, since it’s more on the pricey side compared to other IPL products. All i could honestly say right now it’s the best purchase i have ever made.The box comes with a small bag, and the IPL device with two different heads one for precision, and the other for the bigger areas on the body as well as two different adapters. The product is not painful and i have a pretty low pain tolerance, there is a gentle mode option and a cool fan built in the device itself, easy to use and pack. I used it once and i can already see a difference would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an IPL device. Only con is i wish it came with protective glasses. Read more

Good product. I mainly bought it for use on my upper lip, chin and underarm hair. Results were seen after the first 3sessions itself. So the trick is to be patient when conducting the sessions. The hair growth on my underarms that used to be so thick and poky and would grow out within a week of shaving, now doesn't show much growth after 3sessions. Same for the upper lip. For the chin hair, since I have hormonal issues, it is alot harder to treat. But a noticeable difference is seen there as well. I have just completed 6sessions and I now see patches of hair instead of the full chin of hair that I used to have. The app that comes with it to help track the sessions is helpful too. However it only allows you to complete one body part at a time rather than more than one. It's probably worth looking into and updating that. Now I can take care of permanent hair reduction from the comfort of my home safely and effectively. Read more

As a loving husband who always wants the best for my wife, I purchased the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 for her. Since she's been considering hair removal options for a while, I thought this would be a perfect gift to make her life a little easier. After seeing her excitement unboxing and trying out the product, I felt compelled to share my perspective. Everything was neatly packaged, and the instructions provided were clear and concise. I appreciated the quick guide, which gave her a summary of how to use the device and a more detailed instruction manual for reference. Using the device was surprisingly simple. After shaving the designated areas, She turned on the IPL system and selected her desired intensity level. The device's SensoAdapt technology automatically adjusts the energy level based on your skin tone, ensuring a safe and effective treatment every time. She started with her armpits, an area she's always struggled with maintaining smoothness. To her relief, the process was virtually painless. It felt like a light rubber band snap at most, far less discomfort than she'd experienced with other hair removal methods like waxing or laser tattoo removal. She appreciated the flexibility of the device, with options to either glide it along the skin or use targeted pulses for precision. This versatility allowed her to tailor the treatment to her needs and preferences. After just one session, she noticed a significant reduction in hair growth. And the best part? Unlike traditional shaving, which requires daily upkeep, the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 IPL system only needs to be used once a week. She is excited to see even greater results over time with consistent use. My wife couldn't be more satisfied with her experience using the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5. Not only has it simplified her hair removal routine, but it has also given her the confidence to flaunt smooth, hair-free skin without the hassle. If you're tired of the endless cycle of shaving, I highly recommend trying this innovative device. You won't be disappointed! Read more
