Reviews
This IPL device is highly praised for its effectiveness in reducing hair growth, leading to finer, softer hair and significantly less frequent shaving, with many users reporting visible improvements within weeks. It is generally described as a pain-free or minimally uncomfortable experience, often feeling like a warm flash. Users appreciate its convenience for private at-home use, offering salon-quality results without the high cost. The product often comes with a high-quality carrying case and useful accessories, including various treatment caps, and is noted for its ease of use and portability. Intelligent features like automatic skin tone adaptation and multiple intensity levels are also highlighted. However, achieving optimal results requires patience and consistent use over several weeks. Some users find the bright flash of light intense and express concerns about the lack of included eye protection, despite manual warnings. Additionally, the device can become warm during operation, and one user reported a potential issue with a treatment cap. The necessity of shaving before each use is also mentioned as a minor inconvenience.
I'm on week 8 of the 10 week treatment. The hair is gone! 🤯 You need this in your life.
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.
