Our Expert View
The powerful yet gentle Braun Braun PL5257 Silk·expert Pro 5 IPL Hair Removal Device provides lasting smooth skin for up to 6 months. The treatment works in just 4 weeks to remove hair down to the follicle and leave skin feeling smooth and supple.
It uses SkinPro 2.0 (SensoAdapt™) technology which automatically measures your skin tone 80x per second to know how intense light flashes are required on different areas of the body.
Plus, with the gentle setting, tackle even the most sensitive areas of your body with the precision cap and sensitive skin modes options, perfect for hair removal for the underarms, bikini line and first-time users of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light).
how it works
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) is a progressive treatment that offers permanent hair reduction. It delivers a spectrum of light to the root of the hair via the melanin. This stimulation disables the follicle and inhibits the root to produce new hair.
As hairs grow within a hair growth cycle, a start-up phase of 4-12 weekly treatments is recommended with Braun IPL. If you no longer see hair growing, you can switch to monthly maintenance treatments.
Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 IPL takes just 4 weeks to achieve visible hair reduction, with smooth skin for up to 6 months.³⁴ This IPL automatically adapts the light intensity to your skin tone and flashes up to every 0.5 seconds, making it the safest, fastest and most efficient IPL.¹
how to use
Step 1: Shave all visible hair in treatment area with the Venus razor.
Step 2: Pick the right attachment head for your treatment area.
Standard head for underarms
Wide head for larger body areas like the chest or upper legs
Precision head for smaller, sensitive areas like the face and bikini
Step 3: Place the nozzle in full contact with your skin.
Step 4: For larger body areas use gliding mode - hold down the button and treat along your skin. For smaller areas use stamp mode - press and release the button. For sensitive areas or if it’s your first time, you can use the gentle or extra gentle mode.
Step 5: Treat once a week for 4-12 weeks. Followed by a monthly maintenance treatment as needed.
make it personal
The Braun PL5257 Silk·expert Pro 5 IPL Hair Removal Device comes with two unique heads to tackle different areas of your body. The wide cap is perfect for the larger areas of skin such as the chest, back, arm and leg hair.
The precision cap is more suited to sensitive areas such as the face, underarms and bikini. The device has 10 light-intensity settings so you decide how to personalise your hair removal experience depending on your body shape, skin texture and tone.
is ipl right for me?
Dark hair and fair skin are the perfect combination to get the most effective IPL results. The colour contrast between the hair and skin helps the IPL device to interact with the melanin pigments effectively.
IPL hair removal works on brown, dark blonde, dark brown, or black hair – but using the same treatment on very blonde, red, or white hair won’t be effective. Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 IPL automatically adjusts the intensity level at every flash, meaning it’s safe for most skin tones, including dark brown.

I read many reviews and spent a long time deciding which one to buy. I’m very happy to say I made the right decision! I’m Pakistani origin so on the brown side and it has started to show signs of working. I’m only 6 weeks in but I can tell it’s working on my arms, legs and upper lip so far. The hair is not growing as fast as it usually does. Hopefully by 12 weeks I’ll see even better results!
I am keen on introducing this to my daughter as soon as she’s 18. She’s 16 at the moment and the instructions suggest using after 18 yrs of age. All brown ladies will know we have a lot of hair problems and it would be wonderful for young girls to have handled it better and earlier than we have!

It barely stings in even the hairiest most sensitive areas and after 4-5 treatments I can already see a huge difference.

You need to be persistent, and aware that if you stop, the hairs will come back.
Having said that, it does everything it promises to, the hairs become thin, barely visible and the growth slows down significantly.
Best investment ever.
