Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 PL5311

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.

I had to search for a while to find an effective way to use it. Preparation and patience are needed before you see results. After 8 weeks of testing, I see a clear difference: less hair growth. The treatment is pleasant and virtually painless, making it easy for me to stick with it.

I have been using the Braun Silk·expert Pro 5 PL5431 IPL for a while now and am really impressed with how easy it is to use. The treatments are quick and comfortable; I get everything done within about 15 minutes, without any hassle.

What struck me most is that hair growth decreased quite quickly. After using it a few times, I saw a clear difference. The attachments make it easy to work zone by zone and ensure precise treatment. The flexible attachment is particularly handy because it fits snugly against your skin and doesn't miss any spots.

However, you do need to be careful with sun exposure, as use immediately before or after sunbathing is not recommended. Therefore, the autumn and winter months are the most suitable. The only downside I find is that the device is not cordless, but otherwise, I am very satisfied and it does exactly what it promises.
