Unlike many other corded devices, this IPL machine from Braun comes with a lengthy cable (measuring 2m long), so you’re not restricted on where you conduct your treatment or when moving the device to target certain areas. P&G said that neither professional or at-home IPL devices would remove hair forever. IPL won” also enforced the idea that once a course of intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment had finished, hair would not grow back. Clinically tested by experts, treatments are gentle and virtually painless. Ulike stands alone in using Sapphire Ice-Cooling patented technology to ensure pain-free treatments.
Despite being sizeable, the device is not heavy and can be handled with ease. It also works both corded and cordless, so you can use it whichever way is easier for you. We tried both braun electric shavers and found that the flashes were faster (therefore making the hair removal treatment more efficient) when corded but that the cordless was ideal for those harder-to-reach areas.
Most instruction manuals recommend using the home IPL device once every four weeks, to catch the new hair that is starting to return in its growth cycle. The light from an IPL at-home machine is much less concentrated than salon treatments, so they can be used safely in the comfort of your home, so long as you follow the manufacturer’s guidance. Philips is really on a roll with its IPL hair-removal devices, with a newly launched series on the market, too.
For quite a while now, I’ve been using the Braun IPL Silk Expert Pro 5 device to remove and reduce body hair. I’m going to do a little review and let you know how I’ve been getting on with the device. This IPL Epilator device doesn’t come cheap but can potentially save you a lot of time in the long run in terms of hair removal.
I looked at customer reviews to get a sense for what people had to say about each of the devices from how well it worked, whether it was painful, and how long it took to notice visible results with consistent use. However, a laser focuses just one wavelength of light on your skin, while IPL releases light of many different wavelengths. Plus, the light from IPL is more scattered and less focused than a laser. They both, however, penetrate down to the second layer of your skin (dermis) without harming the top layer (epidermis).
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and is widely used in skin treatments to improve rosacea, sun and age spots, skin texture, wrinkles, etc. It is also used in hair removal, leading to permanent results with continued use. It achieves that by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle, preventing it from growing back with repeated treatment.
