Braun Smart IPL, Skin i·Expert Pro 7: at Home Laser Hair Removal for Women and Men, Permanent Visible Hair Reduction, with Free App, Vanity Case, Venus Razor, 2 Smart Heads, Facial Trimmer, IPL7219GreenCircle Certified: Certified Energy Savings

I’ve been using the Braun IPL Skin i·expert (PL7219) for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The device feels premium and well-built, and it comes with everything you need: 2 smart heads, a Venus razor, a facial trimmer, and even a vanity case for easy storage.Setup is quick and simple, and I love the free companion app — it helps track sessions and guides you step by step, which makes the whole process much less intimidating. After just a few treatments, I’ve already noticed reduced regrowth, especially on my legs and underarms.The SMART IPL technology automatically adjusts to your skin tone, which makes it feel very safe to use. Treatments are virtually painless, but I’d recommend starting on lower settings if you have sensitive skin.If you’re looking for a high-quality at-home IPL device that delivers salon-level results without the appointments, this set is definitely worth the investment. 💎✨

If you look at my other reviews, I don't write lengthy ones but this product merits it. First of all, even though I rated it 5 stars doesn't mean is perfect, it has it's quirkiness. However, as someone that has gone to a laser hair removal "spa" and spent thousands of dollars I can tell you that this product has given me better results than the "spa".I'm not the typical Hispanic with dark skin, but not light either. I have been shaving my whole body for the last 25+ years because I'm very hairy. When I tried the "spa" for (8) sessions for my back, I went from shaving my back twice a week to twice a month. Was it better? Yes. Was it worth the stupid amount of money? No.Back to the Braun:The good:It works. I bought it almost 2 months ago now and have been using it every week. I've used it on my legs, back, and arms. It took 3 sessions to start seeing a big reduction in hair growth. I just finished my 6th session and the results have been better than when I went to the spa. This last time I went 2 weeks without shaving and had less hair than when I was shaving twice a week. I'm going to go 3 weeks until the next one and see, but I'm confident that is just a matter of time before it'll be every other month or so. (I'll update later)The price for this Braun is peanuts compared to what you'd spend on a "spa", and they tell you that they do NOT guarantee results and that you might need additional treatments besides your 6 months "maintenance". I wish more people knew about this product, it'll put the "spas" out of business.Full disclosure, I do not use the app at all. I set it at the highest setting possible and go (more on that later)The bad:This one is hard for me because I don't necessarily view these as "bad" but I know it will bother some users as I've read other reviews. In the highest setting, it could get uncomfortable in some of the more delicate areas. It gets really hot and stings a little. Everybody's pain threshold is different but I would rate it a 3 out of 10. Again, not all the time but in some areas. You can always reduce the intensity, I choose not to.As some of the other reviews I've read, the machine starts off "zapping" rapidly and after the first or second use the zapping rate slows down quite a bit. I've notice that it zaps faster with the larger attachments as well. Having said that, it works just as well and it takes me another 1-2 minutes longer than when I first used it. So for me, it's not a big deal.Conclusion:Sorry for the long winded review but I really like this laser hair removal from Braun and I think it's worth every penny. I suggest you follow the instructions, shave the area before using it as you'll get better results (even spas tell you to do that), and use it weekly. I'll try to post an update in a couple of months.

I have light skin and dark hair. I started getting a “beard” in my 30’s. I spent hours and hours every week plucking my face. The pluckings would create ingrown hairs and scars and a terrible cycle that lead to scabs on my face pretty much all the time. Sometimes I would have to wear bandages on my face because my scabs were so out of control after digging out the ingrown hairs. I bought this IPL as a last resort hopeful that this would help minimize my hairs. I wish I had a before and after to show, but to be honest, I never would have wanted anyone to see my before face.I will tell you, that I’ve had this IPL for about two months, followed the instructions explicitly, and I am happy to say that I have very few hairs left on my face.I don’t know if this device would work for everyone, and yes, there were some areas of my face that were a little more painful than others, but I seriously have the smoothest skin where my beard used to be and very small amount of regrowth after only two months.I wasn’t expecting a miracle, but I was surprisingly impressed at my results, and people close to me have even noticed and made comments about the improvement of my skin. Scabs have healed, and so has my confidence!I will continue to follow the treatment plan, and will start on my legs next 😃 !

Horrible.I saw literally zero results after using it for over 8 weeks straight. On top of that before I was even able to “finish” a treatment plan the thing has stopped working. It just clicks over and over now and will not actually laser.As for actually using it, the sensor that makes sure it’s touching the skin causes it to be a complete pain to get to actually flash. You can have it sit as flush as possible and it still won’t register.It feels like a wasp is stinging you. Actually horrible pain when using it in areas like my chest. I somehow roughed it out but I would be soaked in sweat from the pain.So overall 0 out of 10. It literally did not do anything to make me see results after using it for over two months straight and it fully stopped working.

I bought this in February- it is now May. I use 1-2x a week. My armpit hair is 95% gone. It seems like there are some areas/ patches that don’t want to go away. I’ve used it on my legs (blonde hair, where it says it doesn’t work on blonde) and it has definitely made a difference. Also works on bikini. It’s expensive, yes. For me- worth it. I never tried another IPL device, but this one is fabulous. I wish I invested in one years ago!
