TIP: You need to slide it along 1 cm after a flash, wait for the next flash and repeat. 1 cm is the height of the flash window therefore this gives you adjoining but not overlapping flashes.

There’s lots of information in the user manuals to digest. You’ll find helpful diagrams, information on how IPL works and how to use the Braun IPL device. You’ll also find instruction on caring for your device and troubleshooting any problems. It could be a bit friendlier. But please make time for it because it’s important. Start by reading the important safety information, contraindications, warnings and reasons not to use IPL so you stay safe. IPL (intense pulsed light) is a progressive treatment that offers permanent hair reduction. It delivers a spectrum of light to the root of the hair via the melanin. This stimulation disables the follicle and inhibits the root to produce new hair. Braun's fastest IPL for less missed areas.

Eye safety During the long review period, we'll test how comfortable the IPL machine is to use, how easy it is to set up, how effective the coverage is, and how useful the companion app is. Basically, we test everything in-depth, so if there's an interesting new feature, we'll be sure to test that first. Hair color and skin type influence the success of laser hair removal. The basic principle is that the pigment of the hair, but not the pigment of the skin, should absorb the light. The laser should damage only the hair follicle while avoiding damage to the skin. Therefore, a contrast between hair and skin color — dark hair and light skin — results in the best outcomes.

Step 4: For larger body areas use Glide mode. Hold down the button and treat along your skin. For smaller areas use Stamp mode. Press and release the button. For sensitive areas or if it’s your first time, you can use the Gentle or Extra Gentle mode.Several reviewers recommend wearing sunglasses too. This reduces the intensity and you can keep your eyes on where your flashing too. Braun suggest use this mode if you’re new to IPL, perhaps a bit nervous, and want to ease yourself into the treatments. You can also use it on sensitive areas like your bikini line or underarms which can smart a bit. However, they may not prove to be a miraculous solution for everyone. For example, IPL machines are best suited for people with fair skin and dark hair because of the clear difference in pigmentation, although devices designed for darker tones are available. Of course, anyone can try using an IPL device, but results may vary so it’s something that’s worth researching carefully before shelling out. This is average. On Braun.com they don’t mention the speed of application for the Silk Expert 3. I can’t find reference to how long it takes to treat a leg, and it’s not in the user manual either. But we can compare it to other devices with a similar speed such as the Philips Lumea Advanced. This takes around 14 mins per leg.

Flashes: Look for how many pulses it will last for. Generally speaking, the more, the better. "If you are trying to target a larger area it can take many pulses, so just be sure to look at the battery life before you begin," Tavernise says. "Some only have a 30 minute battery life when it is fully charged." Lasers that can be used at home for hair removal are available. These devices might cause modest hair reduction. But there are no large studies comparing how effective these devices are compared with laser hair removal done at a doctor's office.

Several reviewers mention the Gentle feature. Some think it a good idea but don’t feel the need to use it. Others use it on their underarms but find slower results compared to other areas like their legs. The user manual confirms this:

As skin tone varies across the body, the SkinPro 2.0 sensor continuously reads your skin tone 80x per second and automatically adapts the intensity level of every flash. With 10 levels of intensity, Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 IPL precisely detects even the slightest skin tone variations across your body. This gives you the perfect balance between fast results and gentleness on skin for long-lasting results at home. BoSidin takes pride in the fact it uses the same "medical-grade technologies" that professional cosmetic centers use. The precision head rotates from side to side for hard-to-reach contours, like near the bikini area. Several users agree that the device is painless or nearly pain-free. But if your pain tolerance differs, it even offers a cool mode to help shield you from the burning intensity of the light flashes. The Silk Expert 3 has a small round feather button on the top. Press this button and it illuminates to show you’ve activated Gentle mode. This reduces the intensity level so you’ll see fewer intensity indicator lights on the side. Press the button again to return to normal mode. Press the small round feather button to activate ‘Gentle’ mode. This reduces the energy output so you’ll see fewer lights illuminate on the side. It’s good for more sensitive areas like the bikini line and underarms. If you’re a bit nervous about IPL you can also use it to get used to the treatments. Yes. I've been using the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 for eight months or so, and my body hair is significantly sparser, slower growing and finer. It has been least effective on my legs, which is unsurprising as the hair there is fairer, finer and the skin is more tanned. But elsewhere the difference is massive.For years, our GH Beauty Lab experts have regularly tested all kinds of hair removal products, from waxing kits, razors and dermaplaning tools to depilatory creams and epilators. Using an IPL device lets you target any exact area you desire. Start by placing the device directly against your skin, press the button and the Silk-Expert Pro will start reducing visible hair. Gliding mode also lets you move more easily over larger areas.
