Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 IPL PL5014

For all parts of the body

The photoepilator of the famous German manufacturer Braun can be used not only on the legs and arms, but also in the bikini area, on the face and in the armpits. Moreover, the device is also suitable for men, but in this case it is recommended to epilate the chest, back, arms, abdomen and legs, but not the face. The greatest effect is achieved when used on light to medium skin tone and on dark hair.

Since the lamp of the photoepilator cannot be replaced, one of the main criteria when choosing such a device is its durability. With a Braun model, you don't have to worry about the lamp breaking after a month or even a year. The service life guaranteed by the manufacturer is up to 400K flashes, which is about 22 years of regular use.

Smart technologies

The manufacturer also took care of safety: SensoAdapt sensors with UV protection independently determine the skin tone in order to choose one of 10 levels of radiation intensity that is most optimal for this type. If the skin is too dark or the sensors are not close to the skin, the flash will not fire. Therefore, even with regular epilation, exposure to ultraviolet radiation is minimized.

Several operating modes are also available: standard, delicate and extra delicate (this is the lowest intensity at a high flash rate). The last two are suitable for sensitive areas and beginners. In addition, there is a sliding mode, which generates successive flashes, and a precision mode with single flashes. The first is designed for fast processing of large areas. For example, it will take about 5 minutes to epilate the legs. The second mode is for small hard-to-reach areas (face, armpits, bikini area, ankles). In general, the management is simple and understandable, but, of course, you can’t do without instructions. A proprietary smartphone application will also be useful, which contains useful tips and recommendations for use.

Equipment

The photoepilator comes with everything you need for the procedure. Firstly, this is the Venus Extra Smooth Swirl razor, because before using the photoepilator, you need to shave off the hairs. Secondly, the set comes with a convenient case for storage and transportation. A trifle, but pleasant, because with it you will not worry about the safety of an expensive device and a fragile lamp. There are also models Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 IPL PL5117, PL5124 and PL5137 with the same characteristics, but with high-precision attachments for the bikini area and face.
