Accurate and thorough on every area of your body. This IPL comes with two precision caps for smaller, sensitive areas like the face and bikini, a standard cap ideal for underarms, and a wide cap more effective on larger body areas like the chest or upper legs The IPL releases continuous flashes leading to the shortest treatment time. This mode is recommended to treat larger areas like legs and arms. In short, during your start-up treatments it’s best to avoid tanning altogether. Both by sunlight and artificially with light or creams. There’smore on tanning and sun exposure here. I did my full body in just under 28 mins (full legs, extended bikini, underarms and face). That’s one of the fastest high-power IPLs I’ve tested. It’s beaten only by the Smoothskin Pure. So, if you don’t have much time to spare and speed is what you need most, this is a solid choice. Treatment App I was skeptical but it’s better than I expected. Before I tried this IPL device, I was concerned about several things. 1. The pain caused by the zaps. 2. The efficacy of this treatment. 3. Is the aftercare to burdensome? 4. Is it worth the price tag?

For larger body areas use gliding mode: hold down the treatment button and glide along your skin. For smaller areas, press and release the treatment button. For sensitive areas or if it’s your first time, you can use the gentle or extra gentle mode. Select your intensity mode by pressing the feather button. 3 lights mean high, 2 gentle, and 1 extra-gentle. Safest & fastest: world’s most efficient IPL¹. Visible hair reduction for 1 year* of smooth skin (following the regimen. Individual results may vary) ²IPL stands for ‘intense pulsed light’. It’s a method of reducing hair growth by using beams of light to interact with hair follicles. You do IPL after shaving because the beams of light target the melanin in your hair root – which can only be reached when the hair strands are short. After the follicle is destroyed, the hair root remains empty. However, you can’t target every follicle of hair in one session – multiple treatments are required to achieve permanent reduction of hair. IPL isn’t suitable for certain hair colours or tones of skin. For example, very blonde hair does not contain enough melanin for the IPL device to work properly. On the other hand, very dark skin has more melanin, meaning the IPL won’t be able to effectively reach the hair root. The IPL lamp gives 400,000 flashes. That’s more than enough for over 200 full-body treatments of full legs, bikini line, underarms and face. So, you’ll get over 15 years’ worth of monthly full body sessions. Braun actually say the flashes should last for around 22 years. It’s superb value, you’ll never run out of flashes. You get a good 2-year manufacturer warranty too. You can use IPL on your face – upper lip, chin and jawline. It should not be used near the eyes and eyebrows. You can also use IPL on your bikini line. Genital area where skin may be darker or have higher hair density might absorb more light energy and may cause discomfort.

And finally, with the most expensive models, you also get a white wide flash window. This measures around 4 cm 2and covers a bigger surface area with each flash, so it’s faster to zap your torso and upper legs. Braun say you can do both lower legs in 5 mins on the lowest intensity level. For me, it selected the higher intensities and one lower leg took just over 3.5 minutes. A meticulous full leg took me around 9 minutes. Silk·expert Pro 5 is Braun’s best IPL.
