Q: Can you use this on buttock area and balls and private back area?

submitted by Adele - 10 months ago

  • A: Adele, thank you for your question! The IPL is safe for use on the bikini line, but you should avoid using your IPL on extra-sensitive area such as the genitals, nipples, or buttock area, as this could cause inflammation. With the precision head attached and extra sensitive mode, you can use the Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 in the pubic area.

Q: Would this work if you’ve already gotten laser hair removal but have stubborn areas and would like to use it for touch ups? What does the 1.5 year removal mean?

submitted by Elle - 1 year ago

  • A: It depends on the area as we don't want you to use it in places like near your eyes as just one example. You can use this device on those stubborn areas so long as you're using the device as directed. You will see a reduction of hair when used, but it will not last forever if you do not do treatment sessions.

Q: Does this work on cheek hair/peach fuzz after shaving it off?

submitted by Missy - 2 years ago

  • A: It is most effective on light to medium skin tones with hair ranging from natural blonde to dark brown / 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.

    Stopped working after less than 2 years

    This product worked well initially, and I recommended it to many of my friends. Unfortunately, I purchased in Feb 2025 and it stopped working in Nov 2026. While most Braun products have a 2-5 year warranty, you should be aware that the Braun IPL products have a 1 year warranty and Braun will not assist you if they stop working just after the warranty expires (as many of them seem to). A lifespan of less than 2 years on a device that cost over $400 when purchased is absolutely outrageous.

    Works... until it doesn't.

    Unfortunately I can't recommend this device, as it just does not have the longevity I would expect from something so expensive. After several months, the main head started returning a red light every time, even though my skin color had not changed and I have fair skin/dark hair (so the ideal combination for IPL). After several more, the smaller head began doing the same thing. The device lasted less than a year, which is far less than what is advertised. This seems to be a known quality issue, and unfortunately the devices never seem to break when still under warranty.

    Not permanent but decent

    Don’t expect permanent hair removal. I’ve been using this for two years now and still have to shave but at least the hair growth is reduced I’d say by like 50% so it makes it easier to manage.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are profoundly sorry and concerned to hear that your Silk-expert Pro device was already used when you received it. This is an absolutely unacceptable situation, and we sincerely apologize for this egregious error and the complete failure in product quality control. Receiving a used item when expecting a new one is a gross violation of trust, and we understand your outrage. We are launching an immediate investigation into how this could have possibly happened. This is not reflective of our brand standards, and we are committed to making this right. Please contact us immediately at 1-800-272-8611. We need to gather more details to address this specific incident.

    Ineffective & expensive

    This product did not work. It was a waste of time and money. Even if it had worked, it was surprisingly slow compared to cheaper IPLs I've used so I wouldn't have cared for it.

    I am now on my fifth one of these. I bought one a few years ago. I had to return 3-4 times as it would work for 4 months then stop. After 2 years the warranty ran out and I had to buy a new one in July 2025. Now this one does not work

    So Happy I Purchased

    I have always had to shave my lower legs and armpits every day, not even staying smooth till the next day. Same with bikini line, plus I get a lot of irritation. I was super skeptical but decided to give this IPL a try. Well 5 weeks in and I haven’t had to shave my lower legs or bikini line all week! Tiny bit of stubble, but you can’t see it at all! Armpits are taking a bit longer, but hoping they will be the same after the 12 weeks. But only felt like I needed to shave them twice this week. Started on the back of my thighs a few weeks in and also added the rest of the bikini area. Already seeing results there. Even if it doesn’t get better than it is now after the full 12 weeks it would still be SO worth the purchase. SO much less shaving and looking smooth all the time even when I can feel a tiny bit of hair.

    Wonderful

    I wish I could buy this device earlier…. I have light (beige) color skin and dark hair, so it is the perfect combo for IPL. After only 2 uses, I noticed that the hair stopped to grow back as fast as before. Today I am after my 5th treatment and I barely need to shave! I am very very happy!

    Stopped Working After One Year

    It was working very well, but after a year it stopped working. The light is not flashing anymore, and the machine smells like it’s burned. I thought I could use it for at least two years. The website suggested holding down the button to fix the issue for people with the same problem, but nothing I tried worked.

    This is a garbage product. I used it two times and it stopped working. I reached out to Braun and requested a replacement. I patiently waited for the replacement and it finally arrived. And guess what? Dead!!!!! The replacement was dead on arrival couldn't get it to work once. Totally unacceptable for such an expensive product.

    Amazing, it really works

    I was skeptical that this would work, even though I have dark brown hair and light skin. I've been using it for about 9 weeks and my legs and pits are completely hairless; pubic area is partly gone mostly because I was a little nervous to use it on the highest setting (after 3 weeks I was using it everywhere down there on the high setting without a problem!)

    Excellent product, would buy again

    I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I call this IPL life-changing. While I’m advantaged by having the ideal skin/hair color combination, I had a near immediate reduction in hair growth, saving me hours of time every week. This was a replacement for a much older IPL from a different manufacturer. I figured that the technology must have improved. It has, and I have no regrets about this purchase.
