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.

  • Stunned- its actually great
Color: Gold/White Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I am a fair-skinned person with hair in the mid-brown shades (high contrast). I understand that matters with these kinds of products based on the description, so your mileage may vary. I am also a person with very sensitive skin. Everything gives me hives, everything irritates, I sunburn in minutes. I was very worried this product was going to burn me- but I keep nicking certain spots (moles) with razors so I was looking for something longer-lasting. I did a 48-hour patch test- a couple of zaps, and then waited to see if anything happened. Nothing did, so I went all in. Based on instructions, I shaved first to prevent a burning hair smell and more heat than intended and then went about zapping all over my legs and armpits. By the time I was done, the device was getting warm to the touch but did not hurt. I did at one point accidentally turn the device up to its highest setting, and that was a little noticeable zap, but not exactly painful, more like startling. I repeated this routine about twice a week for less than a month now, and its WORKING. The instructions said use once a week, but I'd seen other folks say their doctor cleared them for a faster pace, so I started doing that too figuring if at any point my skin became irritated, I'd course correct and reduce the frequency. Legs in particular, after 3 days its still smooth- I used to be stubbly in 2 days. My armpits are also slowing in growth speed, just not quite as quickly. Day 2 its still looking pretty good and it used to be more like 24 hours. I'm amazed because I've heard others say they didn't notice a significant reduction until week 6. Perhaps this was due to my accelerated pace of using the device. So now that we've established it works (for high contrast skin/hair), the other things I like about it is the carrying case, and the option of different size heads- although I only use one. I've found I can turn the device a different direction in most case, and successfully use it without bother to swap to the precision head. I'm lazy- what can I say? Minor gripes: 1.Placement of the larger box piece of the cord. For the way the outlet is set up in my bathroom, it hangs at an awkward spot. 2. It can be easy to accidentally bump the button that changes the zap intensity. I like to use on Level 2. I have accidentally used it lower and higher- the higher you'll notice, the lower you won't. 3. The flash is a bright and I wish it was more obscured, rather than having an area seemingly designed to let you see it a little. I recommend dark glasses if you are sensitive to sudden flashes of bright light. Even though you know its coming- sometimes if you lift a little at just the wrong second it'll be even brighter and a little uncomfy on the eyes. To be clear, none of that matters because it works. Just if you want to try a different brand of the same type of device, maybe you can find ones that have slight improvement on those things. ... show more

  • Gratefully surprised
Color: Gold/White Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Being a PCOS sufferer with an Italian heritage, let's just say I have more than my fair share of hair on my face. I've shaved, plucked, Used creams, elaborate gotten professional laser treatment. Of the above, only the professional laser hair removal worked. But it's not temporary, it's expensive, and being a sensitive soul, it was embarrassing. So by the time I splurged on this, I was desperate. Now, I'm kind of the ideal candidate for an apparatus like this- fair skin and dark coarse hair- so, I can only tell you my experience. For me, it worked. Ridiculously well. I used it regularly, probably every other day, for maybe a month. Now, I only do maintaince once a week or so. I have seen a dramatic decrease in facial hair. I no longer have a five o'clock shadow that rivals my husband's. It's easy to use, just plug it in, pick one of three settings, and zap away. So far I have had no issues with it breaking, not operating, etc. It does sting but I equate that with working. Plus sometimes I'm lazy and don't shave like you're supposed to before using. I've noticed that it hurts worse when i have actual hair but again, I'm lazy. I haven't tried it elsewhere on my body because frankly I wasn't to save the bulb for my face. But I might try my underarms just to really test its mettle. If I do, I'll report back. But thus far, I'm so grateful that it has worked for me. ... show more

  • Honest review please read! Really does work!
Color: Gold/White Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Absolutely wonderful product but please follow the directions on how it’s works because it’s not for everybody or every skin type. These photos are actually of my best friends bikini line and were taken at the 6 week mark. (Lost my own photos that were on my old phone, so I got consent to use hers) However, I’ve been using this device on and off for 4 years and swear by it! *Follow directions! Most of the bad reviews I see on here are from people who either aren’t following directions or giving it enough time to work. The process takes 12 WEEKS but you will begin to see results within a month or less. After 12 weeks you use it as needed. Also just like professional LHR your hair will most likely NOT be permanently gone but I found with this device that my hair that does grow back is much much thinner, takes a long time to come back in, and I rarely have to shave. My skin is so smooth and clear! It also works best where there’s a high contrast and thicker hair. I have a light olive skin tone and dark hair so this product works especially well for me. My friend is very fair with light brown to blondish hair and has extremelyyyyyy sensitive skin especially after shaving which is why i recommended she buy this. She gets absolutely terrible razor bumps and breaks out all over but since using the device she has little to no breakouts because the follicles aren’t getting clogged. ALSO if you have a lot of beauty marks, dark freckles, or tattoos DO NOT use the device over those areas because you will get burned. I see some reviews saying their moles got burnt and that they are tossing the device because of that. Also if you can handle the full power level that’s best AND you need to go over the area a few times and not just once. You WILL have some discomfort especially in more sensitive areas but just stick with it and stop using it if it’s absolutely unbearable or causing harm to your skin. Please make sure you are fully shaved and exfoliated because the device WILL burn/zap you if it catches a long hair or flakey skin. Also make sure your skin is dry and clean with no products on. And if you tan easily in the summer the device might not work in the darker areas (ex. My lower half get extremely tan in the summer and the device doesn’t work when my skin is super dark) With that said, obviously at home LHR isn’t for everyone and they should seek professional help if they have a reaction to the device. When I first began looking for an at home LHR device I had trouble finding honest reviews that show actual results because most brands sponsor “influencers” who have already had professional LHR and just say “it works.” (Ex. The Kenzie device) When I found this product a few years ago there were barely any reviews back then so I was skeptical. Anyways, I dug deep and found random normal people on YouTube (unsponsored with little to no views) posting their honest review and photos showing their results which is how I decided on this device. Totally worth the money! Stick with it! ... show more
