Braun IPL at Home Laser Hair Removal for Women and Men, Silk Expert Mini PL1014 with Venus Razor, Permanent Visible Hair Reduction in Hair Regrowth for Body & Face, Corded

I’ve been using the Braun IPL (the small pink one that comes in the pink bag) for about 4 months now and I honestly really like it. First of all, it’s small and really handy. That was a big selling point for me. It’s not bulky at all and fits easily in my hand. I can throw it in a drawer or pack it in a suitcase without it taking up space. The little pink bag it comes with is cute and makes it feel organized instead of like some huge machine sitting around. I also just like the color. I mainly use it on my underarms and legs. After about 4 months of using it once a week (sometimes every other week if I forget), I would say my underarm and leg hair is about 50% gone. The hair that is still there is much thinner and grows back slower. I definitely doubted this would work at first. I almost didn’t buy it because I wasn’t sure if at-home IPL was actually legit. But I read a lot of reviews from other people online who shared their specific results, and that encouraged me to try it. It is SO much cheaper than going to a laser place. Laser sessions add up fast, and you have to keep scheduling appointments and relying on someone else. I find that annoying and inconvenient. I like being able to just do it myself at home when I have time. Also, when hair grows back, I’d rather be the one controlling it. I get nervous about getting burned at a laser clinic, and doing it myself just makes me feel more in control. As for pain, it really doesn’t hurt. Most of the time it barely feels like anything. If you hold it over the same area for too long (which you’re not supposed to do), then it might sting a little. But if you use it correctly and move it along like you’re supposed to, it’s totally fine. I shave a little before I use it. I’ve noticed if I shave super close right before using it, it can feel a tiny bit more sensitive. So now I try to shave but not aggressively right before. One thing I will say is that my skin can get a little dry if I use it too often. That’s why I stick to about once a week and nothing too intense. Moisturizing after helps. I personally wouldn’t recommend using it on hormonal areas like the upper lip. I’ve read that sometimes that can actually cause the hair to grow back fuller in those areas, which is not what you want. Overall, I highly recommend this. It’s small, portable, easy to use, and way more convenient than going somewhere for laser. The results have been real for me, and I’m really glad I stuck with it. If you’re on the fence like I was, it’s definitely worth trying and a life-changer. It just feels so good to not have long pointy hairs.

I've had this well over a year now, it's held up so well and has done wonders for me. I never used to have thick leg hairs but as I've gotten older my hormones had made them a lot thicker and more noticeable. Using this once a week for at least 6 weeks the first go round with now once a month, my leg hairs are back to normal. Very slow growth, thinner, and can hardly tell I have any hair. Has also been helpful with the unruly underarm and bikini area hairs. Been hesitant on trying on any facial hairs as the light is pretty strong. I've tried so many other at-home options and this has made the most difference though. Usage is super easier but sometimes finding the right angle to place it can be tricky around smaller areas. My only complaint is that I don't know how to turn it off without just unplugging it. I swear I read the whole manual ahead of time and still can't figure it out but oh well it still functions well.

AMAB, tanned skin dark hair. This really works at reducing and slowing hair growth, and I've even used it on the facial area though not officially recommended by braun. the key thing is that you need to have darker hair than your skin and it doesnt work on very dark or very tanned skin, and that you need to be consistent with treatment. I have been using it once to twice a week for 4 months now and have consistently clear skin and greatly slowed hair regrowth. using it is easy but there is a learning curve to get it to trigger properly. overall I'm very happy with how I look and feel as well as not having to shave every day as before.

The device I am reviewing is the "Portable Home Laser Hair Removal System" from a well-known brand. This device is designed to help you remove unwanted hair from the comfort of your own home, using the power of laser technology. The standout feature of this device is its ease of use, convenience, and effectiveness. The device is portable, which means you can use it anywhere, whether you're at home or on the go. It's lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around with you. One of the best things about this device is how convenient it is. You no longer have to book appointments at a salon or spa to get laser hair removal done. You can do it yourself at home, at a time that suits you. The device is also cost-effective, as you only need to make a one-time purchase, rather than paying for multiple salon treatments. In terms of effectiveness, the device is definitely worth it. After almost six weeks of use, I have noticed a significant reduction in the appearance of hair on my legs and underarms. The hair is becoming thinner and sparser, which is exactly what I was hoping for. It's important to note that laser hair removal is a process, and it takes time to see results. But with continued use, I'm confident that I'll achieve the results I'm looking for. Overall, I highly recommend the "Portable Home Laser Hair Removal System" to anyone looking for a convenient and cost-effective way to remove unwanted hair from the comfort of their own home. The device is easy to use, convenient, and effective, and it's definitely worth the investment. While it may take some time to see results, the fact that the hair is slowly reducing in appearance and becoming more thin is a great indication that the device is doing its job.

Price: a little pricey considering that the use is limited Durability: 4/5 Ease of use: 4/5 Does it work: Yes. Used it once a week for 3 months. The hair is noticeably less and thinner. Worked well on my armpit, arm and leg hairs. The machine is easy to use. Plug it, push the button, place it on the skin and it automatically adjusts the strength of the IPL depending on skin tone and hair color. The downside is, in darker areas or areas that are not flat like the chin or around the lip area, it just doesn’t work. It’s frustrating cause you need to find the right angle/placement for the laser to work if you want to cover a lot of areas. Had used a different machine before that lets you adjust the intensity manually and that worked better and covered more areas. It’s not as sensitive as the sensor on this one which makes the use so limited

arrived with a razor that had hair in it. disgusting. returned immediately.

12/24/23: THINGS I APRECIATE: I used this for the first time and first IPL device so I don’t have anything to compare it to. Doing this review so others who are interested can also see. The size of the device is the size of my iPhone XS with a thin case over it. AS A FIRST TIME USER, I read ALL the instructions. I have dark hair and fair skin. I do have photosensitivity due to my immune system and medicine I take. However, it did not sting when I was using it on my face. Some people are describing it like a rubber band being snapped on then but that’s not the case. I used it on moustache and chin hairs and when the light flashed, you could smell burned hair but the hair was still there if you didn’t get a close shave. The skin sensor works well so if it’s doesn’t have full contact with the skin, it will show red and not flash until it’s pink or white. No discoloration as the moment. The cord is long so if you’re standing, it can reach your face with cord left over (I’m 5’1). THINGS I DONT LIKE: It says that can you just look away when using IPL (for the flash) and your eyes should be good but I don’t know. I wish it came with glasses- so I bought some IPL certified glasses from “Phillips Safety” bc I only have one set of eyeballs. One other thing, for that price, I also wish it came with 2 more razors and not just 1. Another thing that I don’t like is that you can’t tell what area you did so there’s a high chance I may have missed some spots- thinking that’s why there is the gliding option but if you’re hoping for one spot, I find it a little hard.

The Braun IPL Silk Expert Mini PL1014 is a great device for at-home hair removal and delivers noticeable results over time. It’s compact, easy to use, and works well for both body and facial hair. The inclusion of the Venus razor is a nice touch, helping with pre-treatment. After several uses, I’ve seen a reduction in hair regrowth, but I feel the intensity could be a bit stronger for quicker results. While it’s effective, it requires patience and consistency to achieve the desired outcome. Overall, it’s a reliable and convenient option for long-term hair reduction, but it might take a little more time compared to higher-powered devices. A solid option if you’re looking for a more gradual, at-home solution.
