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.

    • 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

    • Use the glide mode! Avoid large freckles or moles!
Color: Gold/White Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
First use this morning. Much, much more comfortable than previous tech that I inevitably abandoned because I wasn’t down for weekly torture. *Because I’ve used similar systems before, I skipped the test patch. I know my skin is compatible with the tech. If it’s your first time, definitely do the test patch* I used the most sensitive setting and started with some facial hair. Very slight sting that I quickly grew accustomed to and stopped noticing. Cut to the chase, I went straight for the bikini line/undercarriage next. Not bad at all. So much so that I was contemplating a second pass on a stronger setting but didn’t (not recommended). Swapped to the larger treatment area size (mine came with 2 sizes) and went for underarms and legs on the least sensitive setting. This is where the glide mode is *chef’s kiss*. You press and hold the button to discharge the device and slowly move it along your anatomy with enough pressure to ensure that the mechanism has good contact and emits a pulse as you move. That’s how you can treat your whole body in 20 mins. Don’t move too quickly as the device needs a moment to sense, meter the light and discharge but also don’t dawdle or you’ll treat the same area twice (not recommended). It’s pretty intuitive once you get going. I am blessed with a lot of freckles on my body. Skip the larger, darker ones if you can. They pack quite a punch sensation-wise. I have particularly large one in one armpit that I forgot to swerve around. Brought a tear to my eye. Regular freckles, no big deal. This is not to say that the system can’t be used on darker skin tones, it definitely can...to a point. Refer to the product skin and hair tone diagram for more information on that. I think the issue with random dark spots in the treatment area is that, per the manual, darker skin receives a lower intensity pulse of light. The freckle gets the lighter skin tone pulse because the unit reads the rest of the treatment area, which is lighter than the freckle, and so it gets a little more juice than was comfortable for me. Too soon to know if the system is effective, but at least it doesn’t hurt to use. ... show more

    • Buy it. You won't regret it
Color: Gold/White Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I rarely write reviews, but I am so happy with the results I couldn't resist. I was super skeptical that this would work even after reading the reviews, but it really did. I'm on week seven, and already my weekly regrowth is almost non-existent. I'm half black but pretty light-skinned in the winter with very dark, course hair. I have always struggled with really bad in grown hairs, so I was desperate to find an alternative to shaving. I so no results after the first 2-3 treatments, but after about a month I saw significant reduction in regrowth. So far I've treated my legs, bikini line, and armpits. It definitely takes longer than the 10 minutes they say, but it 100% worth the time and monetary investment. I'm coming up on my next treatment, and my legs still feel like I just shaved this morning. 10/10 recommend. Last side note, I got the less expensive version with just the two heads and no fancy app, and I have no regrets. Not at all worth the extra $100-$250. ... show more
