    My friend recommended this ages ago, I was debating which one to buy maybe a different brand or a more expensive newer one, but this is working amazing after 4 weeks i already have patches with no hair!

    Amazing product, was recommended by friend, received delivery on time, easy to use with well written instructions, hassle of shaving, having stubble is no longer a pain, I already have smooth skin with no hair, consistency is key point best product overall

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI have been using this over 6 months- I waited to write the review. If you are serious for hair free legs, or anywhere else i suggest invest in this. I shave weekly. I then use the laser machine. My legs are hair free now. I also use it on my face and it’s clear. I totally recommend it. Easy to use. No pain. Stick to a routine and you won’t be disappointed.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersI know there are other IPL’s better than this one cuz technology evolves but I used it only for about 4-6 months for the same area and now, after almost 1 year since then I HAVE NO HAIR ON THAT AREA growing anymore.

    I don’t even use the machine anymore because of that and neither the shavers thset much.

    The instructions are correct in the package so read them as they are useful.

    If you have black hair of course, is better.

    At the beginning will come out black and after some time it will starts loosing its colour and lighten in some areas of the body. You continue the routine till no more hair grows.

    Just be careful if you really want no hair at all in the area you choose to do it.

    Hair is still important for regulating body temperature.

    If you close that pore, you closed it forever.

    I would recommend only to be used if you have excess hair grow in some areas that might not look esthetical, if you have ingrowing hair or get infection because of that, but also if you want smooth legs or arms, armpits etc.

    On the face is a bit tricky and can take longer time because the hair is lighter in colour.

    I would also recommend buying some special glasses because the light is not healthy for the eyes as I had many times headaches or diziness from the light. I try looking somewhere else or close the eyes but is not very effective as you need to see on what area you put the machine on.

    Another thing, if the company can change the shape / design a bit as it is uncomfortable to access some buttons and remain with your finger on it to have continous puls. Maybe do a command that you can set it to remain on ro something.

    Overall tho, I’m really satisfied with it. Thank you!

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersI can’t believe this little device works so well. I am a fair-skinned brunette, so I suppose I have the right coloring for this to work the best, but I am super impressed. I waited over a year to write the review, so I could give it a full appraisal. I hesitated at spending over 200 on something I wasn’t sure of, but I wished I hadn’t. I had suffered with hirsutism due to PCOS, but this solved the problem. I still have to use once a fortnight or so, and it is not pain free (it’s like a static shock), but the increased quality of life and confidence it worth that little temporary discomfort. 100% recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersFor context, I’m fairly pale with very dark hair. I’ve had this product for around two months now and it does work, albeit with varying results. The difference on my legs was almost instant; from the first use the hair began growing back much slower and more finely. I’m confident that if I continue to use it, I’ll be at the stage where I very rarely need it on my legs.

    I’ve waxed my bikini area for years so the hair there was already pretty patchy and fine but I must say that it took a lot longer to see a difference after using IPL there. I’m finally starting to see results there, which is fair enough.

    All in all, I’m very happy with it and my life will be a lot easier as we approach the summer. The machine itself is very easy to use and comfortable to hold even for longer periods. I also find it totally painless, but I do have a pretty high pain tolerance.

    So far I see improvement in losing my hair but I think it’s too early to judge as it’s only been 1 month since I started using it. Able to set the level for only 2 stages though, I thought it comes with 3 levels but still a good purchase

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI’ve now had the Braun IPL about a year. I’ve always had issues with facial hair and always been self conscious about it, hiding my face with my hair etc, I’ve always either plucked, epilated, bleached etc etc and was left with thick black hair, so embarrassing, I’ve not been able to afford laser treatment at a salon. So when I saw this and at the time it was 120 I thought I’d give it a go. Firstly it’s so simple to use, you choose your strength then apply it to the area you want to use it on, now you can either move the device over the skin and press the button each time or press and hold and the device will continuously flash as you move the device over the area, it’s very simple to use and the best bit is that it actually works. When I first had it I used it twice a week then reduced it down to once a week now I’m barely needing to use it at all but still do every couple of months. When you first use it you have to shave the hair which I struggled with but you don’t need to worry, this thing works and I would recommend it to anyone with hair issues, you can of course use it all over your body.

    I have waited to write this review and 6 weeks in I have no under arm hair at all a week after treatment so will be goi no to fortnightly treatments. I have a tiny amount still on my legs but wore my shorts very confidently one week after my last treatment so works brilliantly. No pain in either area anymore. I have also been doing my bikini area and am very impressed. I still have regrow that after a week but it is much less and super soft so doesn’t scratch or itch like shaving sometimes does in sensitive areas! When performing the treatment, I can feel small electric shock like pain but it is WAY less then when I used to epilate my legs and I will happily take it for a smooth bikini line!

    Overall I am very impressed and would recommend. I have dark hair and fairly pale olive skin.

    Definitely exceeded my expectations. The hair started growing back more slowly after the second use and in the first 3 weeks between uses, the hair would hardly come back in time before I shaved again.

    I’ve now done 5 sessions and my hair is practically all gone. I have a few random spots that I’ve probably missed around my knee and ankle but other than that, my skin is ridiculously soft and there is no hair! I can’t believe it. I really didn’t expect it to be this good. The hair has gone from my arms, legs, and intimate areas. I will do my upper lip once my tan fades in the next winter.

    The only place that it hasn’t worked much on is my underarms. Hair still grows back after a few days but the skin does seem to be lighter and the hair is definitely thinner.

    So glad I went for this and cancelled my super expensive laser treatment. I would 100% recommend it.

    Golden Review Award: 57 From Our UsersSo I’ve always struggled with hair removal. I have medium brown hair and fair skin, but my hairs are thicker than normal and also my hair follicles are abundant! Shaving my legs and bikini line is a one way ticket to extreme itching after 24 hours. So bad that I would stay awake at night clawing at my legs where they’re so itchy. Then I would get bumps, and shaving again caused even more irritation.
    Only remedy was epilation…however because I have the super power of extreme amounts of hair follicles, I was having to go over my legs every week as they would get full on hairy again!
    So, I tried this. And omg. After 3 sessions (a week apart) my leg has had reduced dramatically!! Armpit hair too. I have no irritation from shaving in between treatments now. My legs actually don’t feel like toilet brushes after 24 hours anymore.
    I cannot wait to see what they’re like after the full 12 weeks.
    100% recommend this product.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI last used a Braun IPL device over 5 years ago and my gosh have they come a long way! My old device you had to press the button wait for it to load and flash then move over slightly and do it again which meant it took ages to do your legs and made it a chore. HOWEVER this new devise is fantastic!! It has a glide mode which means you just hold down the button and slowly move over your skin. There’s no loading and it flashes quickly. I managed to do both my lower legs and half of my upper thighs in less than 10 minutes….for both legs which is fantastic!! I’ve only had one session but I’m sure it will reduce growth for me quickly as it did with my old device. Very impressed and cannot wait to do my next session again in a week.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersI treated myself to this whilst it was on offer and I’m so pleased I did. After only 4 sessions I can see a marked reduction in hair / hair regrowth. My Husband is also using it and is experiencing similarly positive results. I would reinforce what others have said, this isn’t an overnight miracle and I will continue weekly use until I consider myself to be as “hair free” as possible.
    Importantly, I find this painless. Some more sensitive areas will feel heat more than others, but even on the strongest setting I would never describe the IPL as sore. I have now started to experience slight irritation on my legs afterwards which is more uncomfortable than the IPL itself! But this is totally normal and will pass after a couple of days – I like to think this means it’s working!
    I am also glad I went for this device over others – it’s lightweight and easy to hold so it makes longer “sessions” easy and doesn’t become heavy or uncomfortable. That said, I can cover many body parts in no time at all, so it’s never a time consuming task.
    Overall, I’d highly recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 110 From Our UsersI decided to try this IPL after seeing some positive reviews and finding it with good discount. I used to do laser but since covid have not been able to have any. I don’t have very thick hair on my legs but starting to have more on my armpit and bikini area. I have light skin and dark brown/black hair. I used the device twice so far, once a week as directed. Not able to see changes yet. For the second time I bought some protective goggles for the light because although it says it’s safe, it seems quite strong still. The device will not fire if not with full skin contact. It adjusts itself for intensity apparently. For me it’s not painful, only a bit on the inner groin area. Laser or waxing hurts more. It takes maybe 20mins for me to do full leg, armpit and bikini area. Could take less for others more flexible or of someone else does it for you. I also bough a white eyeliner pencil to cover small moles as I learned from my laser sessions we shouldn’t use it on them. IPL is absorved by melanin so the darker the skin the less efective. The darker the hair on lighter skin the more effective. I will try to update my review after a few more weeks to let you know how it worked.

    Update review:
    I’ve used this IPL aprox weekly 4x and actually I haven’t used it now for 3 or 4 weeks because the hair did not grow! In the more hairy areas have only a few and where hair was thinner can’t barely see it. I have only noticed one downside that I didn’t have with laser.. Some ingrown hairs that are leaving me with foliculitis and required me to remove them using a pointy tweezer as after weeks they wouldn’t come out. All in all, I’m happy that it’s working and that I don’t have to worry so often with hair removal. Worth the money!

    Golden Review Award: 216 From Our UsersThings have moved on very swiftly in the IPL for use at home market since I first used one around 5 years ago. This is the best yet and worth consideration, even if you already have a device in use (as I do).

    * Suitability

    IPL technology is not suitable for everyone and I would urge a visit to the Braun website to read all the available information before you make a purchase. It is not suitable for use on red, white, grey or blonde hair and is less effective the darker your skin tone. Some medical conditions also render it unsuitable, things such as varicose veins, so it is worth reading the health warnings even if your skin and hair colours fit the criteria.

    * Use

    It works by targeting the root of the hair so you can shave to initially remove hair before a treatment, which will reduce the smell of burnt hair (hence the inclusion of a manual shaver in the kit). You can choose the level of intensity from extra gentle to normal; I chose normal as I have used similar devices for some time and just noticed some mild heat against my skin, which was not unexpected and felt fine. Choose extra gentle for the first few uses whilst you get used to it.

    You need to know that you will not see instant results and are likely to need to continue removing hair manually whilst you build up the process — there is a guide to follow. Hair will eventually fall out in most cases and you will notice regrowth becomes less frequent and softer over time. In my own case, I do not need to treat very often at all, and I now have patches of bare skin where hair barely, if ever grows. That is after about 4 years of occasional use after perhaps a year of regular treatments, so it does work.

    * Precision head

    I do not have this with the model I chose, so I just wanted to say that the IPL is fine for use on the face and I did not have any trouble with use even on toes where I have previously found it tricky getting the contacts to allow a flash. In my opinion, unless the cost differences are minimal, it isn’t worth paying significantly more for the models that include the precision head as the IPL without it is sufficiently flexible.

    * Is it worth updating your IPL?

    I have been using IPL technology for a while and debated whether it was worth buying a new model, particularly as I am in a maintenance phase with little input needed to achieve hair-free skin. I am pleased that I made the decision to buy as the speed of use has improved immensely from the first device I bought about 5 years ago. Then, I had to spend 30 seconds zapping a single area before moving on to the next; it took an hour or more to treat lower legs and even a model that is about a year old is still an order of magnitude slower than this Braun.

    This Braun model is phenomenally faster than any IPL I have used before, which makes it easy to fit in a session during even the busiest of days. There is no obvious delay for the lamp to recharge, it is literally a process that is held up by the time it takes you to move to another area with no waiting at all.

    * Comparison of models

    There are three latest models in the Braun Pro 5 range, which at the time of writing are PL5014, PL5137 and PL5124. Having spoken to Braun, I understand that the basic handheld IPL device itself is identical and the only differences between the three models are the inclusion of a precision head, different manual razors and different bags. All are safe to use on the face, albeit the precision tool may make application in that area easier; note that Braun has stated this tool will be available as a separate purchase soon.

    I opted for the PL5137 without the precision head as it was available at a good price by comparison to the other two. The manual razor is fine and largely irrelevant as it is a throw away product designed only for short term use. The bag that comes with this more basic option is surprisingly good and much better than any that have been supplied with my previous IPL devices. So, don’t let the bag or manual razor influence your decision.

    On the basis that you are getting the exact same IPL device across all three options and a decent bag even with the more basic package, your decision will largely be whether the additional cost of a model that includes the precision head is worthwhile. For me, it wasn’t, and I am pleased with the PL5137.

    * Summary

    The Braun IPL is compact, fast and comes with a good bag for storage. Check the Braun website for full usage instructions and cautions before you purchase to ensure its suitability, but it is a very good IPL option and I have no regrets about upgrading from my previous device, even though it was only a year old.
