From the manufacturer

-
Is IPL permanent?
Like laser, IPL offers long lasting results, but it is not completely permanent. Differently from laser, you pay only once and can touch up anytime if needed.
-
How often should I use my Braun Silk-expert Pro 5?
Use it only once a week for 4 to 12 weeks for optimal results, with visible results after 2 sessions. For maintenance, touch-ups are recommended to prevent regrowth.
-
Is IPL safe? Does it hurt?
Braun IPL devices are safe, FDA-cleared, and dermatologist-approved. They are gynecologically tested for intimate use. Pain varies, but most users find it nearly painless, often describing it as mild tingling or warmth, which many adapt to over time.
-
Can I use IPL on my face?
Braun IPL is safe and effective for women facial hair removal. It shouldn't be used near the eyes. It works effectively on the upper lip, chin, and jawline. Do not use on male beards, it may lead to uneven results.
-
What’s the difference between Braun Skin i-expert and Braun Silk-expert Pro 5?
Skin i-expert is the 1st AI-powered smart IPL that personalizes sessions based on your preference, body part, and hair density. It tests for irritation, offers guidance and ensures full coverage. The Silk-expert Pro 5 lacks the smart features.

Important information
Safety Information
RISKS OF USING THE SILK EXPERT: The Silk expert is an electrical device that emits intense pulses of light. Read the User Guide fully before using the Silk·expert. BENEFITS OF USING THE SILK EXPERT: The Silk expert has been tested in a clinical trial on 33 subjects who received 12 weekly treatments. Using the Silk expert device on photosensitive skin could result in skin damage including blisters and swelling. DO NOT USE the device on any area where you may want hair to grow back. Hair removal by lasers or intense pulse light sources can cause increased hair growth in some individuals. Based upon currently available data, the highest risk groups for this response are females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck. Always check the instructions that come with your medical products to see if photosensitivity is listed as a side effect. Using the Silk·expert device on photosensitive skin could result in skin damage including blisters and swelling. The side effects reported in the clinical trial were: Itchiness – Four subjects experienced mild itchiness after treatment. Slight Redness – This was reported by 1 subject. Mild Stinging Sensation – Five subjects reported mild discomfort following treatment. In-growing Hair – One subject reported experiencing an in-growing hair following treatment. Follicle Redness – One subject reported a red spot at the treatment site following treatment. In all cases, the treated skin returned to normal within 7 days.DO NOT use the device if you have very dark skin. DO NOT use the device if your skin has been artificially or naturally tanned or is burned from sun overexposure. DO NOT expose treated areas to the sun. Wait at least 7 days after treatment before exposing treated skin to direct sunlight. DO NOT use the device directly on the nipples, genitals or around the anus. DO NOT use the device if you have a history of skin cancer or pre-cancerous lesions. DO NOT use if you are pregnant, lactating. DO NOT use on dark brown or black spots such as birthmarks, moles or warts. DO NOT use if you have any skin condition in the treatment area, including psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, acne, herpes simplex or active infections or wounds. DO NOT use if you are under the age of 18. DO NOT use on tattoo or permanent make-up in the treatment area. DO NOT look directly into the treatment window. The clinical trial participants showed on average 44% less hair 6 months after their last treatment and 36% less hair 12 months after their last treatment. Actual results did vary from person to person. DO NOT use if you have a known sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity) or are taking a medication that causes photosensitivity e.g., certain antibiotics such as tetracycline, NSAIDS such as ibuprofen or retinoids such as Accutane and/or topical retinoids such as Retin A. DO NOT use on beard/facial hair for men.
Directions
1. Unpack the device. 2. Clean all removable parts with warm, soapy water. 3. Charge or plug in the device. 4. Select the desired power mode. 5. Choose the appropriate attachment for the area to be treated. 6. Place the device on the skin and press the activation button. 7. Move the device to the next area, maintaining consistent pressure and overlapping each pulse. 8. After treatment, clean the device and store it in the provided case.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2022I was kind of scared of buying this since is $$$ and i have very sensitive (like really reactive to EVERYTHING, you name it) skin, and this little piece of heaven delivered like a champ. I have very thick hair in my legs, i did laser like twice in my lifetime, full 10-12 sessions each time, and my hair grew back after a short time and i wasn’t spending more money like that, so i just started shaving and that brought me here, im not saying professional laser doesn’t work, it does, but i don't have the time or money to keep going to the spa for retouch. I use it in my face (no breakouts), in my legs, bikini line and underarms, the hair does not grow back thicker or fast, and some places are like hairless after like a week without shaving (i got bit by a mosquito and that always gets infected).
This is it, after my skin gets better, ill try again, im still doing it in my underarms and bikini, i had less hair there so im not taking that in consideration, the real battle is with my face and legs. It doesn’t hurt or make my skin any different than what i feel everyday, i do use a heavy cream after washing with cold water, and antibiotic wash, use clean towels and let the cream air dry, no clothes until my skin fully absorbed everything and no makeup til the next day. This so far is worth every penny.. i even relax while doing it. Will update further on. (Sorry for the sensitive skin part being so long).
**********
UPDATE: Please digest the photos before reading my update.
As you can see i have severe reaction to almost everything in my skin, i had an accident in 2020 and since then it all got worse, i was exposed to so many things (dirt, debris, hard antibiotics, really hard meds in general) and it too a toll in my already sensitive skin. I did everything, and when i say everything i mean it, im a very conscious atopic person, so i was always cautious with everything i tried, nothing worked, bought my own wax, my own sticks, my own warmer, i didn't shave with a used before razor (never), did exfoliate with gentle scrub before every procedure, washed with antiseptic soap after and used the Dermacortine, Avene, and other soothing products after (always staying still until each one dried)… etc. Again, nothing worked for me. After the allergy of the second photo (already healing by then) broke i was hospitalized for several days with the doctors worried the infection might get in the bone or the material inside (lots of titanium) and risk my legs.
After that i gave up. No shorts ever, no skirts, and it was fine. But then my dermatologist suggested IPL, she suggested i do it as an in office treatment, but i seriously cant afford the traveling and cost of it as i said before.
Now, this is a very heartfelt thank you to this company.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this product, you saved my legs. This works. THIS WORKS! I do it only once a week, after a soft scrub exfoliation, and antiseptic soap, lotion and cream (and sometimes cold Alucal or brief cold gel bags on them) after treatment.
Its a long way to go, i know, and retouches and care, but i finally found a hair removal solution that works, works me doing it, and in my own house, only one $ for it.
I couldn't be happier.
(Sorry for the very graphic pics, they were worse trust me)

- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2025Best purchase of my life! I’ve noticed a huge difference with me using this for like a month and my god how the hair growth slowed down sooooo much! No more bleaching, hardly need to pluck the hair or even shave. I also read one of the reviews saying you can do it twice a week to see the results faster and I went ahead and did that. Like I said within a month I noticed the difference. Now my mom is even asking to borrow this hair laser removal. If I ever need to buy another one I’m going with this brand again. Easy to set up and use!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2025I have course, thick hair. This product is working well! I've been using it at least once a week for about 6 weeks now. My hair growth has slowed quite a bit. I'm so happy. I like the adjustable power modes. I use high power on my legs and lower power on my bikini line and underarms. Very happy with this purchase.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2025I've been using this every week for 2 months now and my legs are so smooth! It's incredible! Super easy to use and considering how expensive laser hair removal is, this is very affordable. I purchased a pair of protective glasses, just to make sure I'm keeping my eyes safe. I highly recommend this device!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2025BUYER BEWARE! The first one I received wouldn’t turn on at first, then it did. But it stopped mid way through treatment. And wouldn’t start back up again. I returned it and purchased another one. But because it didn’t work, they charged me $45 for the fees saying it was damaged, even though it didn’t work when I received it and didn’t even get more then 2 minutes of use out of it, and then charged me another $55 re stock fee. I haven’t even opened the new one yet to see if it works, but I sure hope so! Just be aware that you will be charged if the machine doesn’t work. And a re stock fee, even if you are an Amazon prime member. If you are okay with losing out on $100 then go for it and take chance, if not, try a different brand.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2025When I first considered the Braun IPL Silk Expert Pro 5, I thought, “Can this little machine really replace my endless shaving, waxing, and general hair-removal misery?” I was doubtful, but after spending $72 every five weeks for a Brazilian wax—and still having to shave my legs several times a week—I was desperate for a solution. Spoiler: This thing is a total game changer.
I’m a researcher by trade, so naturally, I dove into a black hole of IPL reviews, comparisons, and horror stories about cheap knock-offs. After my thorough investigation, I landed on this model. It’s definitely an investment, but I figured, “If it doesn’t work, at least I tried.”
Let me tell you, it works. I started with weekly treatments, expecting pain and regret, but instead, I found... hope? Most areas feel like nothing at all—just a warm pulse. Occasionally, a sensitive spot feels like a rubber band snap, but it’s over so fast it’s almost funny. After just two treatments, I started seeing patches of hair just not growing back. By week 6, it felt like my body was waving a white flag.
Now at week 8, I’m thrilled. My legs are smooth, my chin and mustache hairs are retreating like they’ve seen a ghost, and my Brazilian area? Let’s just say, it’s embracing minimalism. A few stubborn hairs remain, but they’re much finer and far fewer. I’m optimistic they’ll be gone by week 12.
Yes, it’s pricey upfront, but it’s already saving me money, time, and the frustration of razor burn. It’s like I’ve hired a personal hair removal assistant that doesn’t judge my life choices or charge me by the hour.
If you’re tired of the endless cycle of shaving and waxing, give this a shot. Your skin—and your sanity—will thank you. Trust me, it’s worth every penny.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2025This product helped me to reduce my light hair on my body! I’m very happy I found this device!

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work
I have been trying to get this to work for 8 weeks now and have seen no results. I'm very disappointed considering the cost! My friend has also tried mine on and off for 6 weeks and it didnt' work for her either. I'd love to return but unfortuntately the window has closed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sí vale la pena
Cuando estuve investigando nunca vi que alguien comentara sobre uso en piel morena, por lo que no sabía si me iba a funcionar. Llevo poco más de un mes de uso y sí he notado diferencia. No diría que no duele, pero es tolerable y puedes regular la intensidad, así que en la más baja seguramente es menor la molestia. Definitivamente me gusta y la recomiendo si te quieres evitar las citas en un lugar de depilación.

4.0 out of 5 stars funciona súper y si notas los efectos
Gran máquina, fácil de usar, no duele mucho, si notas los efectos, yo ya tenía depilación láser previa entonces la uso para mantener pero muy buena! El único tema es que se calienta rápido entonces la tienes que dejar enfriar cada cierto tiempo.
