Smooth Like a dolphin

Have been using this at home and have to say its a super easy to use machine, sleek design and love that my partner can use to. So far we are really enjoying and seeing slightly reduction of hair.

Tips: No tips needed, its so straight forward!

Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 PL5137 IPL - Great product

I have been using my Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5 over the past 5 weeks and have been really impressed with this product. I have had professional IPL done previously by a beauty therapist and this really closely matches the results I had so far.

The machine is really easy to use and I found it completely pain free (yay!). It is actually more comfortable than having it done professionally. The two attachments make it great for both large areas like legs which you can glide along, and smaller areas like underarms that you can spot treat.

The amount of hair growth has slowly decreased and I'm excited to continue using this product to achieve the results I want.

It came with a venus razor too which was a bonus to be able to prep the area.

Tips: For areas hard to see like underarms I would recommend standing in front of a mirror to make sure it's positioned correctly and then look away from the device while the light flashes.

Braun Silk Expert Pro 5- Goodbye Hair

I have been using the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 for a few weeks now and I can honestly say I love it. I have always had a fair bit of hair and since I have dark hair and olive skin its always been something I haven't liked about my appearance. There was a lot of info on the outside of the box so someone would be able to have a good understanding of the product just by reading it on the shelf. Inside it comes with a schick razor and the actual IPL machine is a good size and fits well in my hand. It's also very beautiful with white and Rose Gold touches. I found that it wasn't sore at all to use just a little warm/hot. I made sure I only used it where I was meant to. I actually wore sunglasses while doing it as the pamflet said to not look directly at the laser so I thought that sunglasses couldn't hurt even though I am sure I didn't need them. After the first time using it I found a significant reduction in my hair regrowth which was really excited. There were patches of longer hair so I knew that I had to take my time more the second time. Overall I think that it's an amazing tool if you want to get rid of your hair without all the expensive trips to the skin clinic. It worked well on my hair and skin and I would highly recommend to others.

Tips: My main tip is to take time to read the instruction manual as it gives lots of tips and gives lots of info on troubleshooting so if your skin doesn't feel right you know what to expect.

Chic design, affordable but chic aftermath!

I decided to wait until I had a good three weeks of use done- and I've noticed an incredible difference in this time (I planned to trial initially for 12 weeks!). The Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5 works wonders, and the pain is interestingly not too bad, and you can choose which setting fits your threshold more. I have to say I was a little sceptical- I have dark hair, so I expected a lot of pain, but I decided to calm my nerves by watching YouTube video tutorials first (highly recommend if you are nervous!). My hair growth has minimised drastically and shaving is not something I need to worry about as often. I have avoided professional IPL in the past because of the tedious and long process, and fear of pain! This gives me the option of laser hair removal in the comfort of my own home, and in three weeks I've seen results.

The case it came in is very chic and the design of the actual Braun silk expert is chic! If I were to take a pick between this and another based on its overall look and functionality, I would always go for this one (I know it's superficial, but the branding and aesthetic of a product really matters !).

Tips: -Spot treating smaller areas works better slowly and in front of a mirror -Watch YouTube videos to calm nerves first

Damn Genetics - Battle of the Bearded Lady

My darling fiancé purchased this as a mother’s days present (bless) and I was SO excited to start using it on my face. I had major concerns around the fact I would need to shave the problematic areas of my face prior to use, which is absolutely required prior to using IPL (I asked around for double triple quadruple confirmation that it was actually necessary) but to be honest, turns out shaving is actually faster and easier than standing in front of the mirror for 20 minutes every day trying to find those pesky hairs. YES the hairs grow back coarser BUT, and this is important, the device does what it is meant to!! My upper lip hair has definitely reduced and the left side of my chin is finally starting to slow down, the right side not so much but I think this is largely due to the roots being quite fair and the hair being thick as. I have used this on my legs & armpits also and definitely seeing a difference - consistency IS KEY!! Pick a day each week to give yourself the treatment, full body shouldn’t take more than 40 minutes, that includes shaving and IPL. It’s a good investment, but I do feel results have the potential to vary widely.

Tips: Be consistent - kick the kids out, send him to the pub for an hour - pick the same day each week to complete the treatment and stick to it. There is a logic behind this, something about the natural hair growth cycle(s) - all comes with the pack :)

Braun Silk Expert.

I found the Braun Silk Expert very easy to use, although I did find it slightly painful! You really have to regularly use this product to see results, I am still in the process of trying to achieve hair-free legs! I will definitely keep using the product.
