Braun IPL Silk·Expert Pro 3 at Home Hair Removal Device, Alternative for Laser Hair Removal, Includes Pouch, Venus Razor, Precision Head, 1 Year of Smooth Skin, Gift for Women, White/Silver, PL3121

I did a course of laser therapy for my PCOS facial hair, which worked but then it came back. So I bought this IPL instead, I can't afford annual laser courses. The IPL doesn't work as well as laser, but it does work. I used it twice a week for maybe 3 months and drastically reduced my facial hair. There's still a few stubborn thick chin hairs but far less than before. And the results last. After 6 or 9 month the hair has started to some back and I'm using the IPL again. It was a big investment at 100s of £s but its worth it.

I know there are other IPL's better than this one cuz technology evolves but I used it only for about 4-6 months for the same area and now, after almost 1 year since then I HAVE NO HAIR ON THAT AREA growing anymore. I don't even use the machine anymore because of that and neither the shavers thset much. The instructions are correct in the package so read them as they are useful. If you have black hair of course, is better. At the beginning will come out black and after some time it will starts loosing its colour and lighten in some areas of the body. You continue the routine till no more hair grows. Just be careful if you really want no hair at all in the area you choose to do it. Hair is still important for regulating body temperature. If you close that pore, you closed it forever. I would recommend only to be used if you have excess hair grow in some areas that might not look esthetical, if you have ingrowing hair or get infection because of that, but also if you want smooth legs or arms, armpits etc. On the face is a bit tricky and can take longer time because the hair is lighter in colour. I would also recommend buying some special glasses because the light is not healthy for the eyes as I had many times headaches or diziness from the light. I try looking somewhere else or close the eyes but is not very effective as you need to see on what area you put the machine on. Another thing, if the company can change the shape / design a bit as it is uncomfortable to access some buttons and remain with your finger on it to have continous puls. Maybe do a command that you can set it to remain on ro something. Overall tho, I'm really satisfied with it. Thank you!

For context, I'm fairly pale with very dark hair. I've had this product for around two months now and it does work, albeit with varying results. The difference on my legs was almost instant; from the first use the hair began growing back much slower and more finely. I'm confident that if I continue to use it, I'll be at the stage where I very rarely need it on my legs. I've waxed my bikini area for years so the hair there was already pretty patchy and fine but I must say that it took a lot longer to see a difference after using IPL there. I'm finally starting to see results there, which is fair enough. All in all, I'm very happy with it and my life will be a lot easier as we approach the summer. The machine itself is very easy to use and comfortable to hold even for longer periods. I also find it totally painless, but I do have a pretty high pain tolerance.

I treated myself to this whilst it was on offer and I’m so pleased I did. After only 4 sessions I can see a marked reduction in hair / hair regrowth. My Husband is also using it and is experiencing similarly positive results. I would reinforce what others have said, this isn’t an overnight miracle and I will continue weekly use until I consider myself to be as “hair free” as possible. Importantly, I find this painless. Some more sensitive areas will feel heat more than others, but even on the strongest setting I would never describe the IPL as sore. I have now started to experience slight irritation on my legs afterwards which is more uncomfortable than the IPL itself! But this is totally normal and will pass after a couple of days - I like to think this means it’s working! I am also glad I went for this device over others - it’s lightweight and easy to hold so it makes longer “sessions” easy and doesn’t become heavy or uncomfortable. That said, I can cover many body parts in no time at all, so it’s never a time consuming task. Overall, I’d highly recommend.

Great IPL, comfortable and easy to use

I chose this Braun IPL above all others because I recognise the brand name so trusted it's quality. I also wanted a rechargeable so I didn't need to be plugged into the wall while using. The description says rechargeable twice in it. But it is not a rechargeable device, it's a wall plug in which to be fair, all the IPL devices are. I just thought this one would be different because it says "portable, rechargable" under special feature and down in the technical details as well. I'd have kept it, but the glass UV filter is missing off the device. Now I'm seeing other reviews going back to March 2023 saying the same thing. I don't understand why I was sold this device when they know something's wrong with it. What if I had used it without knowing, and caused a burn or UV damage? I'm just really dissapointed because it is a pain in the rear to have to return a useless, expensive device. My husband wasn't thrilled when he saw the charge for this on the banking app because he thinks all the beauty devices are a gimmick, or crap. The fact that this one that I carefully chose because I thought it would be the best quality IPl is defective and he's going to be aware of it, is really awkward. He's probably going to ask me to just have it refunded instead of replaced.

Definitely exceeded my expectations. The hair started growing back more slowly after the second use and in the first 3 weeks between uses, the hair would hardly come back in time before I shaved again. I’ve now done 5 sessions and my hair is practically all gone. I have a few random spots that I’ve probably missed around my knee and ankle but other than that, my skin is ridiculously soft and there is no hair! I can’t believe it. I really didn’t expect it to be this good. The hair has gone from my arms, legs, and intimate areas. I will do my upper lip once my tan fades in the next winter. The only place that it hasn’t worked much on is my underarms. Hair still grows back after a few days but the skin does seem to be lighter and the hair is definitely thinner. So glad I went for this and cancelled my super expensive laser treatment. I would 100% recommend it.

This product is good in theory and if you’re dedicated enough to use it regularly. I used it every week for about 6 weeks and did notice some reduction in hair growth. It’s not painful, just feels like a small elastic band ping in some areas. HOWEVER - if you have moles or dark freckles like I do, please be very careful. I accidentally zapped a few very small freckles on the back of my legs that I didn’t even know I had! It was quite painful and the freckles turned white for a few days afterward. If I’ve been taught anything in life, it’s that you don’t mess with freckles and moles. So sadly I won’t be using this product anymore. For freckly people like me - save your money or put it toward professional laser hair removal.
