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.

Silk·expert Pro 5 review (March 27, 2024)
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.
Silk·expert Pro 5 review (March 27, 2024)
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 (March 27, 2024)
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.

Why use IPL Hair Removal Machine at Home?
If you have dark or dark brown skin, your skin contains more melanin. Since darker skins contain more melanin which absorbs higher amounts of light energy, using IPL will cause discomfort if energy is not properly regulated. Always consult the colour and hair skin chart to see if it’s safe and effective for you to use IPL hair removal treatments. Braun’s IPLs are suitable for skin tones I to V only to ensure optimal safety and efficacy. Our IPLs use Skin Pro technology, which continuously and automatically ensures that only eligible skin tone gets treated. Usually, IPL works best on people with dark hairs and fair skin.
For women, you can use the Braun Silk·expert Pro 5 IPL in the pubic area, including mons pubis, labia majora, perineum and around the anus. You should avoid using your IPL on extra-sensitive areas such as the labia minora, vaginal opening, nipples, or anus as this could cause inflammation.
Yes, men can use IPL too! Braun’s IPL devices can be used for treatment of the back, chest, arms, underarms, and legs. IPL is not recommended for men’s facial hair, neck, and intimate areas.
