Frequently asked questions

The Braun Silk Expert Pro5 uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to target hair follicles, reducing hair growth by emitting gentle light pulses. The light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which then heats up and damages the follicle, leading to less hair growth over time. It's a safe and virtually painless method compared to traditional salon laser treatments.

Yes, the Braun Silk Expert Pro5 is designed for both women and men. It's versatile and can be used on a range of body parts, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line. However, effectiveness can vary depending on individual hair and skin types.

Results vary by individual, but many users start to see a noticeable reduction in hair regrowth after just 4 weeks of using the Braun Silk Expert Pro5, with optimum results typically seen after 12 weeks of regular use. To maintain results, use the device every 1-2 months or as needed.

The Braun Silk Expert Pro5 is effective on a wide range of hair and skin types, but works best on individuals with darker hair and lighter skin tones, as IPL technology targets the melanin in the hair. It's not recommended for very dark skin or very light hair, including grey, red, or white, where IPL might be less effective or not recommended due to safety concerns.

    • If you’re thorough & consistent, it really works!

Where I live, it costs $400 per treatment to get laser hair removal, and it requires at least 6 visits to have long-term results. Although this home treatment does require more time and commitment, it is so worth the money saved. I used this on my legs, bikini line, and underarms each week for the first 6 weeks, then every 4 weeks only where necessary. the sessions are more time consuming than just shaving, but you don’t need to do it nearly as often, and over time, it takes less and less time because there is less hair to shave and laser. It’s been a year-and-a-half, and at this point I only get much softer, finer hair in the areas where I had the coarsest, thickest hair to begin with (my knees and my inner bikini line). I don’t really have any hair that’s worth shaving on my underarms, my lower legs, or my outer bikini line, and the only hair that I still shave and laser every 4 weeks is on my knees and some of the inner bikini line, but it grows very slowly and is much less coarse and there is also much less hair in these spots, and it continues to get less over time, so I anticipate that eventually I will not have to do these at all. I used to have pretty coarse, curly hair that needed to be shaved every 2 or 3 days, and always gave me ingrown hairs when I tried to wax. Some tips I got from other reviewers and also found out from trial and error: The laser window is smaller than the width of this gadget, so I made marks with a marker so I could tell how wide the laser was actually covering so I wouldn’t miss spots. Going over the shin bone in a vertical direction resulted in a strip that got missed, so I often went across instead and got better coverage. Because it was more time consuming than shaving, sometimes instead of shaving and using the laser right afterwards, I would shave the day before. As the laser heats up, it’s tempo slows down, so I found it helpful to do a patch until it started to slow down, then take a little break to let it cool, and begin again. I got the green protective glasses to protect my eyes just in case. I will try to update in another 6 months to report on more results over time. ... show more

    • Easy to use, does not cause much discomfort (for me), one+ month update below
Color: Gold/White Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I have read so many reviews and wanted to know a few key things-- so here it is on topics of: pain and can it do Brazilian. (I have only had it a week so cannot comment on efficacy yet, but by reading all the reviews, it seems like it works great for some people fast, great for some people slowly, and others, it just doesn't do great. Some ppl seem to give up if it does not work after 4 weeks, or if it shows reduction but not complete removal--go longer!!) [One month update below] So pain, for me: It does not hurt very much. I am using it on under arms which have little hair left post laser about 5 years ago. Also for every part of bikini/brazilian locations, it is mild discomfort, and fast. For me the sensation is like when you open a really hot oven and the air hits you, it is a hot hot air feeling in a small concentrated spot. There is a *slight* sting sensation where the follicles are, but it is hard to really tell what is going on. It lasts so briefly that it is not bad. I think that the more discomfort I get is from where the hair is longer, I think the long hair kind of burns up and gets hot and touches the skin. Sometimes where skin pigment is darker the sensor does not want to flash, but repositioning it will eventually figure it out. Skin pigment difference matter if you are interested in brazilian locations. Deeper skin tones down there may not flash. It is MUCH MUCH less painful than salon laser. I had a really hard time with salon laser pain on legs, underarms and just basic inner thigh type bikini line. This is worlds better. I do not have to steel myself for this, it is not stressful. My legs have very little hair left so going over them is pain free and fast. My skin is not that sensitive to this device, and if I go over a spot twice there is no after effect or burn. I try not to just in case it sensitizes over time. The most awkward part for me has been contorting to get the sensor flat on the skin, especially for bikini. I recommend getting a pari of dark sunglasses and wearing them while you use it. Gas station/supermarket wrap arounds with black lenses were what I bought. The light is super bright, and comes through closed eye lids. If you get migraines it may trigger one bc the light is super bright, and the rhythmic flashing may just bother you. If you have sensitive eyes to bright light, wear dark glasses. I wear them and turn away, or just put a hand over my eyes if it is not a lot of contortion to hold the device and press the button. One month update: I love this device. I use it more than once a week, I am impatient and have zero effects on my skin after using, no damage or burning. I do not rec doing this, just what I did. Progress with Brazilian areas has been going well. One month+ in and I now have experienced hairs falling out in parts of the brazilian area, leaving entirely hairless smooth areas behind. I have never had this level of hairlessness even with waxing years ago. Not all areas respond the same. Some still have clear regrowth with stubble typical of post shaving. I think i am a strong responder, and I was to laser as well. Underarms have no regrowth a month in, for the few hairs that were left post laser 5 years ago. Legs same. I randomly run it over thighs and have less hair, which was sparse post laser to begin with, plus I am older and have less hair than when young. I no longer feel as strong a need to wear sunglasses, and doing it in a bright room in day both helps me see all the hairs, and also lessens contrast so the light flash is less strong feeling. I feel zero apprehension doing this in brazilian area, minimal pain if there is a close shave. The razor that came with it is ridiculously good, and I ordered more blades. The main issue with Brazilian locations is contorting to angle the device to get all the spots. I get a little lazy and focus on easier spots. I highly recommend this to people with the right skin/hair contrast to work (see chart for hair/skin shades). I find it faster than laser, bc you don't need to wait many weeks between. It remains way less painful than laser, which was very painful for me. I feel like a salesperson for the device, it is so cool!!! ... show more

    • Soooo worth it!
Color: Gold/White Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I bought this 3 years ago and, lemme say, it was worth every penny!! 3 years on, my legs and bikini line are still mostly hairless. I have a few strays, but they're very soft and fine and only visible close up. I do shave these about once a month because I'm picky, but if I found myself needing to don a swimsuit unexpectedly, I wouldn't worry about it. We do a lot of camping and outdoor sports, and I never worry about my grooming anymore. When I travel, I shave before I leave and don't have to do it again til I get home. I used this intensively according to the directions for 2 months, then touched up once a month for the next 4 months. This reduced my middle-aged upper lip hair, but did not eliminate it the way it did my leg hair, so if you were buying just for facial hair, you might consider that. If I touch up every 3 months it helps, but I only bother to touch up once a year. Again, you wouldn't have to touch up at all, but I'm picky. And yes, it still has plenty of use left after 3 years. To me this was way better than salon or clinic treatments: much cheaper, quicker on my own schedule and without having to add in travel time, and no more work than a detailed shave and treat. If you're thinking about hair removal treatments at all, buy it! You won't regret it! ... show more
