According to our light-based hair removal device expert
Thanks to the attachments, the device is also suitable for use on your bikini line and underarms.
The flexible head follows the curves of your body, so you're less likely to miss any hairs.
With 10 intensity levels, the IPL device precisely adjusts the light pulse to your skin tone.
It doesn't come with an attachment that allows you to easily remove facial hair.
You can only use the light hair removal device with a cord, meaning you always need a power outlet.
With the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 PL5311, you treat sensitive areas extra gently. You use the special head to comfortably treat intimate areas. With the standard head, you can easily remove hair from your underarms, for example. The flexible head follows the curves of your body. This ensures the light window stays firmly against your skin and you're less likely to miss any hairs. During treatment, the built-in skin sensor measures your skin tone and automatically selects the correct setting from 10 light intensities. This ensures you treat your skin safely. Do you want to choose the intensity yourself? Then you can choose from 3 settings: sensitive, balanced, or powerful. First, shave your skin smooth with the included Venus razor. This allows the light flashes to work better. The device has 400,000 flashes, so you can use it for years.
Note: light hair removal works based on the contrast between your hair and skin color. As a result, most devices don't work on dark or black skin. These devices are also not suitable for gray, white, or red hairs.
Note: an IPL device isn't suitable if you're pregnant, taking certain medications, or have freckles. Read the manual before use and check if this product is suitable for you.

With this IPL device, I can easily treat my entire body. It comes with handy attachments, such as a flexible head. This follows all the curves of my body during the treatment. However, the IPL device only works via a cord. So I have to stay near the power outlet.
Handy attachments and accessories I have used IPL devices before, but this one works much better than the devices I am used to. This is mainly due to the attachment with the flexible raised edges. Thanks to the flexible edges, the attachment always stays in contact with my skin. This is handy, for example, around the curve of my knee. As a result, the treatment is easier and I don't miss anything. The other attachments are also handy. The smallest attachment is perfect for my face. With this, I work precisely around my lip without treating the wrong spots. Think of the skin on my lip. The included facial hair remover is also very handy. Before I remove facial hair, I have to shave the hairs short, and that is very easy with this device.
Safe hair removal What I also like is that the IPL device works safely thanks to the skin sensor. During hair removal, the sensor measures my skin tone and automatically adjusts the light pulse accordingly. This ensures that I always remove hair with the correct light intensity without having to think about it myself. The device has a total of 10 light intensity levels. It therefore adjusts the setting very precisely to my skin. However, the device only works via a cord. So, I have to stay near the power outlet during treatment.
Result The device fits very comfortably in my hand and is not too heavy. Thanks to the nice storage bag, I also take it with me everywhere along with all the accessories. I saw results quite quickly, after about 3 to 4 weeks. Especially on my legs, where the hairs are thinnest. The light pulse itself does take some getting used to. On thin areas of skin, it sometimes feels a bit warm and sensitive. But the device has special sensitive settings. I choose this setting when I want to comfortably treat sensitive body parts. This is nice for the first treatments.

Recently, I had the opportunity to test the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 IPL hair removal device and share my opinion on it.
At the beginning of the testing, it takes a little figuring out exactly how everything works, but once you get started, it is super easy.
The device fits comfortably in the hand and glides smoothly over the skin.
I definitely recommend installing the Braun app, as it guides you step-by-step through the hair removal process with a personalized schedule. That makes using it really extra easy and clear.
Of course, performance is what matters in the end, but looks matter too. The device looks super luxurious, and I think the gold details are really beautiful. Additionally, it comes in a handy case where you can neatly store the device and attachments.
I am incredibly curious about the final result, but even during the build-up phase, I am already noticing improvement.
Hair growth is visibly decreasing, and that is exactly what I expect from it. So far, the device is certainly doing what it is supposed to do.

I have been using the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 for a few weeks now, and my hair is growing back increasingly slowly, which I am happy about. Thanks to the various attachments included, I can treat every body part effectively. There is even an attachment for very sensitive skin. During testing, the light flashes felt a bit warm, but I did not experience any pain. The head that rests on the skin is flexible, allowing the device to effectively catch every single hair. I am very happy with the device and will definitely continue using it.
