Better Than I Expected: Amazing Results in Just 3 Months
Iâve been using this at-home laser hair removal device for 3 months now, and Iâm so happy with the results. About 15 years ago, I had professional laser hair removal on my legs and armpits. After a full 10-session package, those areas were completely hairless, so I knew I was a good candidate for laser treatment again. I have fair skin and dark hair, which typically responds well.After having kids, some hair returned. Maybe 50 hairs per leg and a lot more under my arms, though not super dense. After just two treatments on my lower legs, all but a few stubborn hairs were gone. My armpits are now completely hair-free after 3 months. I was especially impressed by how quickly the device worked on areas that had previously been treated professionally.I also wanted to try it on my bikini line and pubic area, which had never been treated before. I wasnât sure Iâd get the same results, but Iâve been pleasantly surprised. After 3 months, everything outside of my âlanding stripâ is smooth and hairless, with just a few stragglers Iâm still targeting. I no longer need to shave to feel confident in a swimsuit. Even the more stubborn landing strip area has seen about a 60% reduction in hair, and shaving there is now super easy. Iâll keep treating it, but even if I stopped today, Iâd still be thrilled.That said, I didnât follow the included instructions exactly, and I think thatâs part of why I saw such fast results. Hereâs what worked for me:- I treat areas on the day I shave, going over each section 2 to 3 times and letting the light go off twice before moving the device. This means each hair gets zapped 4 to 6 times in a session. The first zap barely hurts. The second can feel like a rubber band snap, uncomfortable but totally manageable, even in sensitive areas.- The next day, with a little stubble, I do it again. That second-day treatment is key. It helps me spot which hairs are still growing and target them directly.- I wait 3 to 4 days, shave again, and repeat. This means I treat each area twice a week instead of once.I never had any skin irritation from this schedule, just a little redness for about 10 minutes after treatment. Pulling the skin taut (like my professional tech used to do) really helps the light reach the follicle more effectively. At first, treating my legs, armpits, and pubic area took about 40 minutes. Once my legs were clear, it dropped to 20 minutes, and now Iâm down to under 10 minutes per session.Overall, Iâm extremely happy. The device is easy to use, and the results have been faster and more dramatic than I expected. It has already saved me time, money, and hassle compared to booking professional sessions again. And best of all, I can keep maintaining my results from home. Just keep in mind that hair grows in cycles, so retreating now and then is totally normal.If youâre consistent and willing to treat a bit more often than the manual suggests, I think youâll be just as happy as I am.

Great results and convenient! A major improvement over earlier Braun and other brand IPL devices!
Great improvement from Braun! So as a long term first laser hair removal and now IPL user … this is the 3rd IPL handset I’ve owned. I had laser hair removal during the low rise jeans era … always had incomplete results, but it mostly lasted with the occasional shave for 15 or so years. Then I started to get more regrowth in my 30s. Not wanting to invest in laser again, I purchased an earlier model Braun IPL and used that on and off as needed for 8-10 years .. it had replaceable flasher heads and I’d bought an extra when I purchased it, so it lasted a long time. The earlier model had good results, minimal regrowth when I kept up with it, and was a miracle for preventing ingrown hairs (you do shave before you use it), but was slow with a long time between flashes and did not have continous flash mode, which means one small area could take a good half hour to treat, so I mostly focused on bikini and didn’t bother with my legs .. it had a huge base (shoe box size) and it could not be used on the face. The sensor was also super sensitive so even as a light skinned woman with darkish hair, it was still hard to satisfy the sensor and get it to flash consistently. When I saw advertising for the Nood device a year or two ago, I decided to try it, the cooling technology and continuous flash mode was appealing, and I was near end of life with my older model Braun. I did not have the same results with the Nood, I was shaving regularly the whole time I was using it (about a year), and noticed no real change in hair growth. So when I saw the new Braun Pro 5 model available and on sale, I decided to give Braun a try again. This device is amazing! Its clearly stronger, and you have to hold down the button for continous flash mode, but the time between flashes is so short, it is quick and easy to get multiple areas done in a short amount of time, it’s definitely preventing ingrowns, and in a few weeks use I am definitely seeing signs that regrowth is slowing. It also has a smaller head that can be used on the face, so I am working with it there as well. The pain level is rubber band snap, less painful than the late model Braun and a little more than the low-powered Nood. It has a cord long enough to lie down and use it .. the late model Braun and the Noon both required extension cords for this. Excited to find that the Braun Pro 5 is fast, easy and it works! The first picture shows the two heads – the smaller one for face, the second picture is the Braun Pro 5 handset next to the Nood version. No contest, the Braun Pro 5 is the best IPL I’ve used. I am also experimenting with using it on a recent surgical scar .. I think that will take more time to see results, but I am hoping it will help fade that scar, as IPL has been shown to do in studies. Quick easy, effective and close to painless, this device is a winner!

Good Device with Differing Results
This product works really well. Results vary based on location. I barely need to shave my legs anymore. I am very satisfied with that. It seems to be working less well on my underarms. I like the different size attachments and the nice quality case. The process is quick and mostly easy. On some places like knees and ankles, it is difficult to angle the device in the perfect way so that the light flashes. I did buy extra eye protection, even though it claims it is not necessary. It checks for the right conditions before flashing, but it is always possible to move it in the wrong way while the flash happens, and I’d like to protect my eyesight.

Gentle and effective IPL device
Iâve been using this device for about 7 weeks, applying it once a week to my armpits and bikini area with lowest energy. I noticed a slowdown in armpit hair growth after just the first session. The bikini area has been more resistant. it took about 5 or 6 sessions before I saw any noticeable changes. The hair still grows back, but at a slightly slower rate than before.What stands out is that itâs less painful than other IPL devices Iâve tried and doesnât overheat like the Ulike 10. Overall, Iâd recommend it for anyone looking for a gentler, more comfortable IPL experience.

Chegou em 10 dias úteis, funcionando perfeitamente, cumpre o que promete, estou na minha 3ª sessão e já comecei a ver resultados, fazendo 1x por semana, como orientado pelo fabricante.Vem com duas ponteiras e uma lâmina da Vênus, bem embalado, como no anúncio.

Tengo 5 semanas usándolo y por ejemplo en las axilas ya no salieron vellitos durante una semana. En las piernas unos cuantos y dispersos. Creo que es muy efectiva, esperaré a cumplir las 12 semanas recomendadas de tratamiento.Es muy sencillo de utilizar y duele un poquito las primeras veces pero es algo tolerable.

Excelente. Funciona de maravilla.Lo único es que el i structico no viene en español, serÃa bueno tenerlo en nuestro idioma.Por lo demás ha cumplido con lo que promete.

Cuando estuve investigando nunca vi que alguien comentara sobre uso en piel morena, por lo que no sabÃa si me iba a funcionar. Llevo poco más de un mes de uso y sà he notado diferencia. No dirÃa que no duele, pero es tolerable y puedes regular la intensidad, asà que en la más baja seguramente es menor la molestia. Definitivamente me gusta y la recomiendo si te quieres evitar las citas en un lugar de depilación.

Gran máquina, fácil de usar, no duele mucho, si notas los efectos, yo ya tenÃa depilación láser previa entonces la uso para mantener pero muy buena! El único tema es que se calienta rápido entonces la tienes que dejar enfriar cada cierto tiempo.
