Defective product
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.

Precision head not precise enough for small areas
I wanted to use this product for hair on my fingers and toes, but even the precision head is too large for these small areas, so I can’t get it to activate. So disappointing!

Impressive Hair Reduction After 12 Weeks
I’m a male with light skin and brown, moderate-density hair. I started using the Braun IPL PL5157 about 3 months ago, treating once per week as directed. After 14 treatments, I’ve seen great results, especially under my arms where there’s now just a small 2.5 x 2.5 cm (1 x 1 in) patch of finer, softer hair. I’d love that to be 100% reduction but I’m very happy with it so far. I’ve also been using it in other areas with coarser, more persistent hair, and while the reduction hasn’t been as extreme, I’ve still seen noticeable improvement: slower regrowth, softer texture, and shorter hairs. I’m still seeing results improve so I’m continuing weekly. I’d recommend patience as it’s not instant, but if you’re consistent and follow the routine, it works. I’m surprised at how much smoother and more manageable the hair is. I was considering professional underarm laser hair reduction but decided to test run the Braun device, and I’m happy I did. For the lower initial price you trade a slightly higher time commitment but it seems to have been worth it. A couple of notes: The treatment isn’t usually painful, just a warm flash/snap, and you get used to it. I only ever use the highest setting and once in a while I get a painful flash. If it happens it fades quickly. You’ll need to shave before use, which I hate, but as you progress it’s far less often as the hair reduction kicks in. After 12 sessions, shaving once a week is quick and there’s very little irritation due to having less hair. I’ve had no side effects on the highest setting. No burns, discoloration, or irritation. I use 99% aloe gel right after IPL which helps. I get far more irritation and skin issues from shaving than IPL. I recommend this for guys looking to manage or reduce body hair without going for waxing or professional laser. It’s worth the investment if you want something effective and private you can use at home.

Braun IPL
Love this at home IPL treatment machine from Braun. I bought this about 2 months ago and it’s been a game changer. I can do these treatments in the comfort of my own home and not spend the $$$ for salons. I love the carrying case too so I can take it with me during my summer travels

I'm loving it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Braun Smart IPL, Silk·Expert Pro 5 for over 4 months, and I’m really happy with it. I have very sensitive skin and high contrast (light skin with dark hair), and it's working perfectly for me. I started seeing results really fast, after just a few sessions. It doesn’t hurt and feels super gentle on my skin. I also love that it comes with different caps so I can adjust and a cute vanity case, which makes it easy to use and makes it organized.

So easy to use - and the whole family uses it
I love this BRAUN laser hair removal product. My daughter and I use it all the time. My husband has even asked that I start doing parts of his neck. It is a great system to have on hand and is so easy to use. Great results.

Braun IPL 5 – 3-Month Review
After using the Braun IPL 5 consistently for 3 months, I can confidently say it’s one of the most effective at-home beauty tools I’ve tried. Hair regrowth has noticeably reduced — especially on my legs and underarms — and what does grow back is much finer and lighter. I now need to shave far less often, which has made my routine so much easier. The device is also incredibly easy to use: it’s lightweight, intuitive, and the flashes are fast, so full treatments don’t take much time. I also really appreciate the built-in skin tone sensor — it makes the process feel safe and personalized. If you’re looking for a salon-level hair reduction solution that fits into a busy schedule, the Braun IPL 5 is 100% worth it.

totally worth
he Braun Silk·expert Pro 5 IPL is a game-changer for at-home hair removal. It's fast, nearly painless, and clinically tested for long-lasting smooth skin. With its built-in skin tone sensor, it adjusts the light intensity for safe and effective results. I started noticing reduced hair growth within just a few sessions. It's definitely an investment, but totally worth it for salon-like results from the comfort of home!

Painless at home laser hair removal treatment!
I was always a bit nervous about laser hair removal, but this felt way less intimidating. The best part is how easy it is to use – seriously, if I can do it, anyone can! The different caps are super handy for getting those tricky spots, and I love that it comes with a vanity case to keep everything organized. I've noticed a real difference in hair growth already, and honestly, the convenience of doing it at home is a game-changer. If you're tired of shaving or waxing and want a longer-lasting solution, I highly recommend giving the Braun Silk·expert Pro 5 IPL a try. It's definitely worth the investment! You won't regret it!

Cost effective at home hair removal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Braun IPL for a few months now, and I’m honestly impressed. I was quite skeptical at first — I’ve tried waxing, shaving, and epilators, but I wanted something more long-term to reduce my hair growth without spending a fortune at salons. Super user friendly, and you can adjust different intensity level according to your comfort. Sticking to my schedule helped a lot, by doing every once in a week I could see my results. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for an at-home, low-maintenance hair removal solution!

Results already!
I have been using this device for about 3 months now! My armpit hair is practically gone minus a few stragglers. I noticed a difference in the thickness and quickness of growth after 2 uses!
