What are you buying?<\/h2>\n

1. Fast hair removal<\/h3>\n

With the Braun IPL hair remover, it takes less than 20 minutes to shave your legs and arms and even less time if you are just shaving your legs.<\/p>\n

This is great if you always find yourself rushing to get out of the house every morning. The Braun Silk-expert saves you time and has better results.<\/p>\n

2. SensoAdapt skin tone sensor<\/h3>\n

While IPL technology has no adverse side effects, it can cause irritation and burning on certain skin shades. Braun recommends the IPL hair remover only for light to medium skin tones.<\/p>\n

And even within this recommended range, different skin shades require varying light intensities. The Silk-expert uses a smart skin tone sensor to read your skin shade up to 80 times per second. It then automatically adjusts the light intensity reaching your skin.<\/p>\n

This not only ensures effective hair removal but it also protects your skin.<\/p>\n

3. 2 treatment modes<\/h3>\n

There are two ways to use this IPL hair remover. This first is called the glide mode. You basically glide the device over your skin without stopping. This is ideal for larger areas such as your arms and legs. It allows you to get rid of hair quickly.<\/p>\n

The second is the precision mode. On areas like the underarms or chin, you cannot glide the hair remover. They require a more precise spot-by-spot treatment. In precision mode, you only fire the light when you are at the right spot. You lift and drop the device as you go along.<\/p>\n

The precision mode is great for the bikini area, upper lip and other small or sensitive spots.<\/p>\n

4. 3 intensity levels<\/h3>\n

While the skin tone sensor sets the right intensity automatically, you can also choose a specific intensity level. There are three of them to choose from: normal, gentle and extra gentle. The sensor will still vary the energy level slightly in all modes depending on the skin tone of the treatment area.<\/p>\n

If you have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation, use the extra-gentle mode. For first time users, the extra-gentle level is also ideal. You can then crank up the energy level depending on how comfortable you feel.<\/p>\n

The gentle setting is ideal for maintenance when you are shaving just to clear a little recurring hair growth.<\/p>\n

How easy is it to use?<\/h2>\n

The Braun Silk-expert is plug-and-play. You don\u2019t need to insert any batteries, charge it first or install anything. You don\u2019t even need to apply any gels or wear any protective clothing.<\/p>\n

Just plug it into an outlet, choose your preferred setting and it\u2019s ready to use.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to switch between the glide and precision mode and you can also change the intensity level midway through your shaving.<\/p>\n

What accessories are included?<\/h2>\n

You can choose between two Braun IPL bundles. Each bundle comes with its own accessory. The first one comes with an exfoliator to help keep your skin smooth and glowing (this model is called BD 5009<\/a>). BD 5001 comes with a Gillete Venus razor. The razor is handy if you have long hair. You need to shorten it first before using the IPL hair remover.<\/p>\n
