Are Braun products waterproof that I can use them in the shower or bath? plus-symbol cross-symbol

All Braun shavers are watertight which means the shaver head can be rinsed under running water for easy cleaning. However, ONLY Braun shavers that are specifically designated as Wet & Dry (W&D) models can be used in the shower or bath.
The Wet & Dry models have an automatic shut-off mechanism to ensure the appliance works only when the cord is not plugged in, meaning there is no risk of electric shock.

How to remove facial hair with a face epilator? plus-symbol cross-symbol

How do I use my IPL? plus-symbol cross-symbol

Here are some simple steps on how to use Braun Silk-expert Pro:
Step 1: Remove all visible hair in the area you wish to treat with your preferred hair removal method. If desired, the Braun Silk-expert Pro includes a Venus razor for easy surface hair removal. Ensure there is no hair remaining above the surface of the skin. Then pat your skin dry.
Step 2: select the standard head or the precision head depending on the size of the area you wish to treat. Plug in the Braun Silk-expert Pro.
Step 3: Put the nozzle in full contact with the skin to make sure the product works correctly. If the light flashes white, a valid skin tone is detected. If not in proper contact with the skin, the device will not flash. In the case of a red light, there is not full contact or it is an invalid skin tone.
Step 4: For larger body areas use gliding mode: hold down the treatment button and glide along your skin. For smaller areas, press and release the treatment button. For sensitive areas or if it’s your first time, you can use the gentle or extra gentle mode.
Step 5: It is important to wipe clean the nozzle after every use.
Step 6: In the first phase of your treatment, treat once a week for 4 - 12 weeks. Then adjust to your needs (i.e. every 1-2 months).

Will an IPL work with my skin and hair color? plus-symbol cross-symbol

IPL is not suitable for everyone. It is most effective on light to medium skin tones with hair ranging from natural blonde to dark brown or black.
The device is not effective on very blonde, red, grey, or white hair where the smaller amount of melanin would not absorb the light energy.
Here is a chart to help with skin tones and body hair type:

Do I need to stay out of the sun before IPL? plus-symbol cross-symbol

If your skin tone got darker due to artificial or natural tanning and your skin does not suffer from any irritation, the Braun Silk-expert Pro device can be used as it will automatically adjust the energy level to the safest and most efficient level, and will also tell you should your skin have become too dark for treatment.

Can men use IPL? plus-symbol cross-symbol

Men can use the Braun Silk-expert Pro IPL from the shoulders down (chest, back, arms, stomach, legs). It should not be used on the face, neck, or genital area. Use on male beards or facial hair may lead to uneven results.

Is IPL suitable for intimate areas? plus-symbol cross-symbol

IPL is safe for use on the bikini line, but it isn’t suitable for the genital area where the skin may have a darker color and where there is a greater hair density, which would absorb more light energy and may cause discomfort.

Can I use IPL on my face? plus-symbol cross-symbol

Braun Silk-expert Pro is safe for use on the face below the cheekbones. It shouldn’t be used near the eyes and along the forehead. It works effectively on the upper lip, chin, and jawline. We recommend doing a patch test before use.

How long will it take to see IPL results? plus-symbol cross-symbol

We recommend a start-up phase of 4-12 weekly treatments to achieve optimum results. If you no longer see hair growing, you do not need to complete the full 12 weekly treatments. You can switch to maintenance treatments.
The typical hair growth cycle varies between individuals and could take up to 18-24 months, depending on body area (underarm, lower leg and bikini area can take the most time). Since only hairs in their growing phase are susceptible to treatment with light, it is important to do multiple treatments to achieve continuously smooth skin.

How should I care for my skin after IPL? plus-symbol cross-symbol

We recommend avoiding exposure to artificial light sources, such as tanning booths or solariums.
Avoid any activity or skin products that may irritate your skin for 24 hours after treatment. This includes using hot tubs or saunas, wearing tight- fitting clothing, using bleaching creams, perfumed products or peeling products.

Do I need to stay out of the sun after IPL? plus-symbol cross-symbol

After treatment, we recommend using sunscreen SPF 15 whenever treated areas may be exposed to the sun.

Do I need to use gels or buy replacement lamps for my IPL? plus-symbol cross-symbol

Braun Silk-expert Pro works without the need of additional lotions or gels and there is no need to purchase replacement lamps.

Is IPL safe for my eyes? plus-symbol cross-symbol

The Silk-expert Pro is perfectly safe. There is no need to wear goggles when using the device. The skin contact sensors ensure that the device can only be triggered when in contact with the skin.

Can I recycle my clean and renew container? plus-symbol cross-symbol

The Braun Clean & Renew container (cartridge) is not recyclable; it can be placed out for regular garbage/rubbish pick-up. The cleaning fluid is safe for the environment when disposed of.

Is the Braun shaver foil recyclable? plus-symbol cross-symbol

What happens when I send my product in to the Service Center? plus-symbol cross-symbol

Once the Service Center receives your appliance, they'll confirm whether it's in warranty or out of warranty. If it's in warranty, a technician will test the unit to see if it's faulty. This is done using special testing devices created by our Braun Research & Development team.
If the appliance is defective, it will be repaired and then returned to you.
If no defect is found, your product will be returned with a note stating it works within manufacturer's specifications. It's important to note that this is not a cleaning or refurbishing service, it's strictly a warranty process. Any non-defective product will be returned in the same condition it was received.
If the product is determined to be out of warranty, the Service Center will contact you directly to see if you want to proceed with the repair/service.
