Braun Smart IPL, Silk·Expert Pro 5: at Home Laser Hair Removal for Women and Men, Permanent Visible Hair Reduction in Hair Regrowth for Body & Face, Wide Head and Two Precision Heads, IPL5347

I was honestly skeptical at first, but this laser hair removal device has really impressed us. My husband started using it for his back, and after just three sessions, the difference is clearly noticeable. The hair has become visibly thinner, and there are patches where it has stopped growing altogether.It does cause some discomfort, especially in the first few uses — but it’s totally manageable and much less painful than in-office treatments. He said it feels like a light snap or heat, but nothing unbearable.What’s great is that it’s easy to use, effective, and much more convenient than going to a salon. We’re excited to continue and see even better results over time.I’m including a photo to show the progress — this is only after 3 sessions, and you can already see a big reduction!Highly recommend for anyone looking for an at-home solution that actually works.

This works well when used regularly, per the instructions. It does effectively slow re-growth. When used per instructions I had little hair regrowth after 8 weeks. But then didn't use it for 6 months and 90% of hair grew back. (That's my own fault.)I had my upper lip professionally lasered in the past which resulted in permanent hair removal (after 6 treatments). But that would be too expensive for legs and underarms and the Braun is less painful than professional lasers.I've been using this on my legs and have tried under arms. It is not painless as stated, but I use the highest level for more effectiveness, possibly the lower level would hurt less but I'm able to handle the discomfort.TMI about me: I have pale skin and brown hair, and the hair on my legs is very fine. Shaving irritates my skin so much I can't do it. Waxing is more likely to just break the hair on the surface instead of pulling out the root which is the only way to slow regrowth. Believe it or not, I have spent last few years carefully plucking the hair from my legs. I also have terrible problems with in-grown hairs which is very irritating.I use the "gliding" treatment mode and it takes me about 20 minutes on each leg which is why I have only 4 stars for ease of use. There is a delay between "zaps" and if it zapped more frequently it would go faster but that might not be possible on a home device. My legs have a little redness after use but you can easily go out with bear legs right after and no one would notice anything.Conclusion: This is effective for slowing regrowth and I've had no problems with ingrown hairs. I would recommend this product if you have realistic expectations and do not expect the kind of permanent hair removal from professional lasers. Great if you are traveling because if used regularly before leaving you won't have to worry about shaving while away. (Unless you go for 4 months or more.)I continue to use this product, for me it is better than any other available options for hair removal.

I absolutely love this device! I’ve been using it for 5 weeks now, and I can already see real results. My skin feels noticeably smoother, and hair is growing back slower and thinner.I used to get professional laser hair removal for my bikini and underarm areas, so I was mainly looking for a touch-up device to maintain the results at home. And I can honestly say — this machine works just as well as the salon!What impressed me even more is how well it works on areas I’ve never treated before, like my legs and arms. I’m already noticing a difference there too, even after just a few sessions.Also, just to be clear — this review is 100% honest. I wasn’t asked, paid, or given anything in return to write it. I’m simply sharing my experience because the product really does work and I’m genuinely impressed. No gimmicks, no pressure — just my honest feedback.It’s super easy to use, painless with the cooling feature, and all it takes is patience and consistency. Stick to the recommended schedule, and you’ll see results.I’m truly happy I chose this model — it delivers on its promises and is totally worth the investment!

Long story short, I used this device twice a week for 6 months and saw absolutely no change in the amount of body hair I had. I used it on my legs, arms, pubic hair, and upper lip. There was no reduction in hair anywhere. Because of that, I absolutely would not recommend this product.The manual does warn that it may not result in any hair reduction, or that it might even increase your body hair - but I was surprised that I didn't actually get any results at all! Supposedly, this product works best on pale-skinned people (like me), who have thick dark body hair (like me), who shaved prior to each use (like I did), and who aren't using tanning beds or spending a lot of time in the sun (like I wasn't). Some reviews said that using it once a week was enough, while other reviews mentioned that they only started seeing results if using it twice a week, so I used it twice a week.I don't think I could have done anything differently. For anyone who has been benefited by this product, great! But it seemed like I met all the criteria for the kind of person who this would be effective on, yet it was a huge waste of my time, effort, and money. That really surprised and disappointed me.I have gotten laser hair removal done at a med spa before, on my armpits, and that was really effective. Going to a med spa is more expensive, and you have to leave your house to do it, but at least it actually works.
