The device features a large flash window for easy use on legs, arms, underarms and bikini lines. Plus, there’s even a convenient pouch.
The SensoAdapt feature automatically detects your skin tone and selects an optimal intensity level for you, along with offering extra gentle mode.
This device has been clinically approved to work on skin that has been artificially tanned – including artificial tanning – by means of tanning beds or sun beds.
No goggles required
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices differ from laser hair removal in that they use flashes of high frequency light to deliver intense pulses to your skin and disrupt pigment in hair follicles, thus stopping new hair from growing back and eventually stop producing all together – this method often proves less painful than waxing or shaving!
The Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 IPL device is one of several IPL offerings from Braun, boasting not a laser, but powerful light-based hair removal that is safe to use at home – it claims to be the fastest high-power IPL for home use1. Additionally, this IPL comes equipped with both a facial mini shaver for peach fuzz removal as well as Venus razor for body hair shave. Plus a precision head adaptor helps tackle trickier areas such as facial hair.
One of the key advantages of this device is its SensoAdapt skin tone sensor, which monitors and adjusts IPL light intensity according to your individual skin tone. This feature can help minimize side effects like burning and sensitivity that might otherwise arise when using IPL devices on different types of skin.
This device comes equipped with a carry pouch to make transport easy – perfect for frequent travelers or vacationers looking to bring an IPL treatment along on vacation.
The device is easy to use, with just three small buttons that indicate its intensity mode (high, gentle and extra gentle). Once you press one of the buttons, a fan starts inside before flashes of IPL light begin flashing until they stop flashing – when they have finished flashing you’ll hear a click and can begin treating another area of skin. Please be mindful when treating larger areas that the flash rate may be rapid; remember to slide the device across skin rather than point directly at it!
No numbing cream required
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) machines may not completely annihilate body hair, but for most skin tones and types they can significantly reduce its growth if used according to an appropriate treatment plan and regular sessions. No matter if it’s facial hair removal, bikini line regrowth, armpit hair or something else; IPL and laser devices are simple and straightforward ways to do just that without needing goggles or having to visit an appointment location – perfect for use right in your own home!
The Braun Silk-expert IPL is one of the fastest and most efficient IPL devices on the market, without needing numbing cream for treatment. Additionally, its design makes it more sleeker and refined than previous models with its small flash window and matt gold finish – as well as being compact and lightweight enough to transport easily without taking up too much room in storage or transport.
Braun claims the Silk-expert Pro 5 has been clinically tested and approved for safe home use. Equipped with an inbuilt SensoAdapt skin tone sensor that automatically adjusts IPL treatments based on your skin type, this IPL device features 10 intensity levels so you can select one suitable to your individual needs.
IPL technology relies on light energy in short bursts to disarm melanin production and inhibit its ability to grow back at its root, ultimately inhibiting further hair production from occurring at that site. A series of 8-12 weekly treatments should be completed before noticeable results appear; thereafter monthly maintenance treatments are recommended.
No need to fear any adverse skin reactions as this device features two built-in sensors that prevent flashes from flashing directly onto eyes or skin. Simply ensure the flash window remains flush against your skin without making contact with any open air and always hold it tightly against it during treatment sessions to avoid sunburns and artificial tannings.
Prior to beginning an IPL session, it is recommended to shave and conduct a skin sensitivity test. After this step has been taken, simply press either the pulse or spring button on your IPL machine to choose its intensity mode and select three lights accordingly – three being high intensity while two may indicate gentle or even extra gentle settings.
No safety glasses required
Since laser hair removal requires safety goggles, using Braun Silk-expert IPL doesn’t necessitate them; however, any light-based hair removal device requires goggles as looking into its flashing light can damage your eyes – another reason to wear goggles while using light-based devices in general. Also avoid direct sunlight or being around others when operating this type of device.
Additionally to protecting your eyes, it is recommended to moisturize prior and after using an IPL machine, in order to keep skin soft and avoid redness or swelling. A topical anesthetic such as lidocaine may also help if you have sensitive skin or low pain tolerance.
SensoAdapt technology in the Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 IPL device is designed to constantly read your skin tone and adjust light pulse intensity accordingly, helping prevent over-treatment or burning your skin; making this IPL machine one of the safest devices available today.
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and it utilizes heat and light pulses to blast hair follicles with heat and light in order to permanently destroy their roots and prevent further regrowth. Unlike laser hair removal which only burns melanin within the follicle and doesn’t actually kill them off completely, this method kills off both roots of each hair that were being shed.
So to maximize results with IPL devices, regular treatments must be conducted weekly to achieve maximum effect. You will notice a significant reduction in hair, although shave and wax occasionally will still be necessary.
Another advantage of IPL treatment is its versatility – you can use it virtually on every part of your body, from face to bikini line and back again. However, recent tanners or sunburned skin should wait 48 hours prior to starting their treatments.
No hair removal required
Many people suffer from unwanted hair that cannot be easily managed with shaving or waxing alone, leaving many frustrated by this unwanted phenomenon. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devices offer an effective and permanent solution to reduce and remove unwanted body hair by emitting light pulses that target melanin pigment in hair follicles to stop further hair growth – stopping your locks from reaching the surface of the skin, providing more permanent relief than shaving or waxing!
IPL hair removal is safe to use on most parts of the body and for your eyes. However, if you have dark skin or sensitive eyes it is recommended that safety goggles be worn during treatment to protect from discomfort and burns caused by too much light energy being absorbed by darker tissue; to counter this Braun Silk-Expert IPL has an internal sensor that adjusts pulse intensity accordingly so it remains safe on most skin tones.
The device is simple to use; simply apply gel onto the area you wish to treat and slide across with gentle pulses from its hand unit. Choose between three intensity levels – but let the device automatically select the best intensity level suited for your skin tone! You can easily switch modes if using extra gentle mode; an LED will indicate this fact.
The user manual for IPL machine is easy and concise to read, with helpful diagrams and information throughout. It covers the basics of how the machine operates as well as some useful tips on making the most out of its potential use. In addition, this manual covers IPL works, contraindications/warnings/skin patch tests/treatment plans/cleaning and storage techniques – everything needed for successful treatment!
This device is intended to work for all skin tones and hair colors, though its effectiveness will diminish with very blonde or red locks compared to darker locks. Furthermore, tanned skin will diminish effectiveness, as will tattoos or piercings; and thus this device cannot be used on either.
