Review: Easy to use, does not cause much discomfort (for me), one+ month update below - I have read so many reviews and wanted to know a few key things-- so here it is on topics of: pain and can it do Brazilian. (I have only had it a week so cannot comment on efficacy yet, but by reading all the reviews, it seems like it works great for some people fast, great for some people slowly, and others, it just doesn't do great. Some ppl seem to give up if it does not work after 4 weeks, or if it shows reduction but not complete removal--go longer!!) [One month update below] So pain, for me: It does not hurt very much. I am using it on under arms which have little hair left post laser about 5 years ago. Also for every part of bikini/brazilian locations, it is mild discomfort, and fast. For me the sensation is like when you open a really hot oven and the air hits you, it is a hot hot air feeling in a small concentrated spot. There is a *slight* sting sensation where the follicles are, but it is hard to really tell what is going on. It lasts so briefly that it is not bad. I think that the more discomfort I get is from where the hair is longer, I think the long hair kind of burns up and gets hot and touches the skin. Sometimes where skin pigment is darker the sensor does not want to flash, but repositioning it will eventually figure it out. Skin pigment difference matter if you are interested in brazilian locations. Deeper skin tones down there may not flash. It is MUCH MUCH less painful than salon laser. I had a really hard time with salon laser pain on legs, underarms and just basic inner thigh type bikini line. This is worlds better. I do not have to steel myself for this, it is not stressful. My legs have very little hair left so going over them is pain free and fast. My skin is not that sensitive to this device, and if I go over a spot twice there is no after effect or burn. I try not to just in case it sensitizes over time. The most awkward part for me has been contorting to get the sensor flat on the skin, especially for bikini. I recommend getting a pari of dark sunglasses and wearing them while you use it. Gas station/supermarket wrap arounds with black lenses were what I bought. The light is super bright, and comes through closed eye lids. If you get migraines it may trigger one bc the light is super bright, and the rhythmic flashing may just bother you. If you have sensitive eyes to bright light, wear dark glasses. I wear them and turn away, or just put a hand over my eyes if it is not a lot of contortion to hold the device and press the button. One month update: I love this device. I use it more than once a week, I am impatient and have zero effects on my skin after using, no damage or burning. I do not rec doing this, just what I did. Progress with Brazilian areas has been going well. One month+ in and I now have experienced hairs falling out in parts of the brazilian area, leaving entirely hairless smooth areas behind. I have never had this level of hairlessness even with waxing years ago. Not all areas respond the same. Some still have clear regrowth with stubble typical of post shaving. I think i am a strong responder, and I was to laser as well. Underarms have no regrowth a month in, for the few hairs that were left post laser 5 years ago. Legs same. I randomly run it over thighs and have less hair, which was sparse post laser to begin with, plus I am older and have less hair than when young. I no longer feel as strong a need to wear sunglasses, and doing it in a bright room in day both helps me see all the hairs, and also lessens contrast so the light flash is less strong feeling. I feel zero apprehension doing this in brazilian area, minimal pain if there is a close shave. The razor that came with it is ridiculously good, and I ordered more blades. The main issue with Brazilian locations is contorting to angle the device to get all the spots. I get a little lazy and focus on easier spots. I highly recommend this to people with the right skin/hair contrast to work (see chart for hair/skin shades). I find it faster than laser, bc you don't need to wait many weeks between. It remains way less painful than laser, which was very painful for me. I feel like a salesperson for the device, it is so cool!!!
Review: Effective, easy to use, LIFE CHANGING, and affordable. - This is a LONG-TERM review. I ordered this in 2022 and have used it now for about 2.5 years. I am extremely, extremely satisfied. For reference, I am a textbook laser hair removal candidate, according to previous professional laser hair removal consultations: medium to fair skin tone, with coarse, dark hair. I have used this on pesky, persistent facial hair that resisted previous professional treatments (sideburns, chin, lip, jawline) as well as under the arms, lower belly, and legs. Initially I treated every 3 weeks, and now I treat every 6-8 weeks. I dry shave my face and conventionally shave my underarms, legs, bikini area, etc,. and then treat with the laser. My primary goal was to eliminate the facial hair, as it caused a great deal of discomfort -- acne, ingrowns, self-consciousness about my appearance, etc. In short, I was miserable and really overwhelmed with how to treat this. Fortunately, this routine has eliminated about 99% of dark hairs on my chin, and completely eliminated my "extended" sideburn, upper lip, and jaw regrowth. My skin has improved immeasurably; it is clear, blemish free, and over time I have even seen a reduction in hyperpigmentation because of the lack of prolonged irritation. I cannot recommend this enough for people seeking permanent facial hair removal! I will continue to treat until the device no longer works, because I am still seeing minor improvements over time. I have also had excellent results on my legs and underarms as well, but the hair here has always been thicker, and so my results are not surprising, but I would be satisfied if this had been my primary goal as well. I now only need to shave these areas about once a month, and even then, my hair is softer, finer, and lighter. This has had excellent side benefits I hadn't anticipated. Not only is there a reduction in irritation from less frequent shaving, but in general, my skin has improved simply because of the improvement in my hair texture. I used to get uncomfortable ingrown hairs in these regions; now, I no longer get any. I also have seen an improvement in skin tone, reduced chafing, etc. Because my hair is so dense (pretty much everywhere on my body), these results took TIME. The vast majority of the success was in the first year, and now after 2.5 years, I feel like I look exactly how I had originally hoped. I would never have been able to afford professional treatment for this duration -- after an initial round of 6 treatments, I decided to try this at-home option, and it has been more effective than I could have hoped. TLDR: This device is very effective, especially for folks with high contrast hair/skin, and will save you thousands of dollars in professional treatments. It will work very well for any area, and is very easy to use. It may take a little longer than you think for certain hair types (like mine), but it is absolutely worth it. This device literally changed my life. I don't even wear makeup anymore -- I love the improvements it has made to my skin as well as the hair reduction.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is IPL permanent?**
A: Like laser, IPL offers long lasting results, but it is not completely permanent. Differently from laser, you pay only once and can touch up anytime if needed.

**Q: How often should I use my Braun Skin i-expert?**
A: Use it only once a week for 4 to 12 weeks for optimal results, with visible results after 1 session. For maintenance, touch-ups are recommended to prevent regrowth.

**Q: Is IPL safe? Does it hurt?**
A: Braun IPL devices are safe, FDA-cleared, and dermatologist-approved. They are gynecologically tested for intimate use. Pain varies, but most users find it nearly painless, often describing it as mild tingling or warmth, which many adapt to over time.

**Q: Can I use IPL on my face?**
A: Braun IPL is safe and effective for women facial hair removal. It shouldn't be used near the eyes. It works effectively on the upper lip, chin, and jawline. Do not use on male beards, it may lead to uneven results.

**Q: What’s the difference between Braun Skin i-expert and Braun Silk-expert Pro 5?**
A: Skin i-expert is the 1st AI-powered smart IPL that personalizes sessions based on your preference, body part, and hair density. It tests for irritation, offers guidance and ensures full coverage. The Silk-expert Pro 5 lacks the smart features.

Me encanta el aparato. Llevo apenas un mes pero ya muchos lugares donde no crece pelo y donde todavía crece lo hace muy lento. Fácil en usar y no duele
