Braun - Pro5 PL5147 IPL Hair Removal Kit for Men & Women - White-Gold

Price was $********* less than competitors

Although it was sealed, it was obviously used and had burnt hair on it. I definitely will not use it and will return it!

I'm a male with light skin and brown, moderate-density hair. I started using the Braun IPL PL5157 about 3 months ago, treating once per week as directed. After 14 treatments, I've seen great results, especially under my arms where there's now just a small 2.5 x 2.5 cm (1 x 1 in) patch of finer, softer hair. I'd love that to be 100% reduction but I'm very happy with it so far. I've also been using it in other areas with coarser, more persistent hair, and while the reduction hasn't been as extreme, I've still seen noticeable improvement: slower regrowth, softer texture, and shorter hairs. I'm still seeing results improve so I'm continuing weekly. I'd recommend patience as it's not instant, but if you're consistent and follow the routine, it works. I'm surprised at how much smoother and more manageable the hair is. I was considering professional underarm laser hair reduction but decided to test run the Braun device, and I'm happy I did. For the lower initial price you trade a slightly higher time commitment but it seems to have been worth it. A couple of notes: The treatment isn't usually painful, just a warm flash/snap, and you get used to it. I only ever use the highest setting and once in a while I get a painful flash. If it happens it fades quickly. You'll need to shave before use, which I hate, but as you progress it's far less often as the hair reduction kicks in. After 12 sessions, shaving once a week is quick and there's very little irritation due to having less hair. I've had no side effects on the highest setting. No burns, discoloration, or irritation. I use 99% aloe gel right after IPL which helps. I get far more irritation and skin issues from shaving than IPL. I recommend this for guys looking to manage or reduce body hair without going for waxing or professional laser. It's worth the investment if you want something effective and private you can use at home.

Love this at home IPL treatment machine from Braun. I bought this about 2 months ago and it's been a game changer. I can do these treatments in the comfort of my own home and not spend the $$$ for salons. I love the carrying case too so I can take it with me during my summer travels
