Frequently asked questions
The Braun Silk Expert Pro5 uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to target hair follicles, reducing hair growth by emitting gentle light pulses. The light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which then heats up and damages the follicle, leading to less hair growth over time. It's a safe and virtually painless method compared to traditional salon laser treatments.
Yes, the Braun Silk Expert Pro5 is designed for both women and men. It's versatile and can be used on a range of body parts, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line. However, effectiveness can vary depending on individual hair and skin types.
Results vary by individual, but many users start to see a noticeable reduction in hair regrowth after just 4 weeks of using the Braun Silk Expert Pro5, with optimum results typically seen after 12 weeks of regular use. To maintain results, use the device every 1-2 months or as needed.
The Braun Silk Expert Pro5 is effective on a wide range of hair and skin types, but works best on individuals with darker hair and lighter skin tones, as IPL technology targets the melanin in the hair. It's not recommended for very dark skin or very light hair, including grey, red, or white, where IPL might be less effective or not recommended due to safety concerns.

Should I Buy It?
If you are looking for a home solution to hair removal that is less painful and potentially more cost-effective than salon treatments, this device seems to be a strong candidate. Given its general effectiveness across a range of users and body areas, it's worth considering if you have the right skin/hair contrast. Keep in mind, though, results may vary and patience is required for significant outcomes.
I have read so many reviews and wanted to know a few key things-- so here it is on topics of: pain and can it do Brazilian. (I have only had it a week so cannot comment on efficacy yet, but by reading all the reviews, it seems like it works great for some people fast, great for some people slowly, and others, it just doesn't do great. Some ppl seem to give up if it does not work after 4 weeks, or if it shows reduction but not complete removal--go longer!!) [One month update below] So pain, for me: It does not hurt very much. I am using it on under arms which have little hair left post laser about 5 years ago. Also for every part of bikini/brazilian locations, it is mild discomfort, and fast. For me the sensation is like when you open a really hot oven and the air hits you, it is a hot hot air feeling in a small concentrated spot. There is a *slight* sting sensation where the follicles are, but it is hard to really tell what is going on. It lasts so briefly that it is not bad. I think that the more discomfort I get is from where the hair is longer, I think the long hair kind of burns up and gets hot and touches the skin. Sometimes where skin pigment is darker the sensor does not want to flash, but repositioning it will eventually figure it out. Skin pigment difference matter if you are interested in brazilian locations. Deeper skin tones down there may not flash. It is MUCH MUCH less painful than salon laser. I had a really hard time with salon laser pain on legs, underarms and just basic inner thigh type bikini line. This is worlds better. I do not have to steel myself for this, it is not stressful. My legs have very little hair left so going over them is pain free and fast. My skin is not that sensitive to this device, and if I go over a spot twice there is no after effect or burn. I try not to just in case it sensitizes over time. The most awkward part for me has been contorting to get the sensor flat on the skin, especially for bikini. I recommend getting a pari of dark sunglasses and wearing them while you use it. Gas station/supermarket wrap arounds with black lenses were what I bought. The light is super bright, and comes through closed eye lids. If you get migraines it may trigger one bc the light is super bright, and the rhythmic flashing may just bother you. If you have sensitive eyes to bright light, wear dark glasses. I wear them and turn away, or just put a hand over my eyes if it is not a lot of contortion to hold the device and press the button. One month update: I love this device. I use it more than once a week, I am impatient and have zero effects on my skin after using, no damage or burning. I do not rec doing this, just what I did. Progress with Brazilian areas has been going well. One month+ in and I now have experienced hairs falling out in parts of the brazilian area, leaving entirely hairless smooth areas behind. I have never had this level of hairlessness even with waxing years ago. Not all areas respond the same. Some still have clear regrowth with stubble typical of post shaving. I think i am a strong responder, and I was to laser as well. Underarms have no regrowth a month in, for the few hairs that were left post laser 5 years ago. Legs same. I randomly run it over thighs and have less hair, which was sparse post laser to begin with, plus I am older and have less hair than when young. I no longer feel as strong a need to wear sunglasses, and doing it in a bright room in day both helps me see all the hairs, and also lessens contrast so the light flash is less strong feeling. I feel zero apprehension doing this in brazilian area, minimal pain if there is a close shave. The razor that came with it is ridiculously good, and I ordered more blades. The main issue with Brazilian locations is contorting to angle the device to get all the spots. I get a little lazy and focus on easier spots. I highly recommend this to people with the right skin/hair contrast to work (see chart for hair/skin shades). I find it faster than laser, bc you don't need to wait many weeks between. It remains way less painful than laser, which was very painful for me. I feel like a salesperson for the device, it is so cool!!!

One-year product review! I always used to have "strawberry" legs (dark "dots" or visible stubble under the skin despite shaving) and lots of irritation. This product made my skin physically and visually smooth. I started on the highest level. As long as you shave well before (no missed hairs) and avoid moles, it is a 0/10 or 1/10 pain for me most of the time. Tip-- use white eyeliner to color over the moles so the flash doesn't zap them because that will sting (think: a rubber band snap but with heat). The only area that felt painful was my armpits, because I can't shave close there. After about 2-3 sessions, more than half the hair was already gone, so there is increasingly less poorly shaven hair to get zapped and sting. It's not as painful as waxing. You will not see the results from a session until several days or a week later. You are wasting your flashes if you do more than once a week because your hair grows in cycles, and a portion of the follicles rest in between cycles over several weeks. I saw amazing results in just 3 sessions, I barely had to shave. I have the ideal black hair on light skin. Be patient, you must commit to 12 weeks of 1x/wk treatment. I do maintenance once every two months. I spend about 15 minutes per leg because, in my experience, going fast on auto-flash skips too many hairs, and the results look patchy, which people then blame on the machine instead of the lack of thoroughness of their treatment. The large flash window is fairly small after all. You do NOT need to buy eye protection for at-home IPL like you do with laser treatments done by professionals. This is FDA-approved as eye-safe. This product will not flash unless fully connected to the skin. The "eye protection" included in cheaper kits is junk meant to sell the product. Most "eye protection" products on Amazon are not internationally certified to safety standards, they are just flimsy sunglasses made in China. That said, I advise not staring directly at the flashes too much. I used it before and after workouts/ showers/ outdoor activities in the sun/ alcoholic drinks with no problems. IMPORTANT! Clean inside the detachable heads with a dry (never wet) microfiber towel or soft Q-tip immediately after *every* use. Better yet, clean halfway during a session if you smell burnt hair. Any hairs you didn't shave will be fried onto the mirror parts, and they are difficult to clean off once they cool down. If you don't do this, the heads will get dirty quickly, and the unit will not work as well (think: a dirty window you cannot see out of).

Really great value, especially considering the alternatives. I've gotten way way waaaay fewer ingrown hairs in my bikini area and legs since using this. If you do it within hours after shaving every week you'll get really smooth results (virtually no hair growth after 8 weeks). In areas with thicker, darker hair you get results much more quickly (sometimes immediately), but in areas with thin, lighter hair I get almost no reduction in hair growth. If you stop for several months most of the hair will grow back (even if you did 10+ treatments in those areas!!) or it'll be patchy and rather unsightly. I see this as a semi-permanent solution to hair reduction, much better than just shaving or waxing, but nowhere near professional laser sessions.
