What is IPL?

  • IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light.

  • IPL achieves long-lasting hair reduction by sending hair follicles to sleep.

  • The light emitted is absorbed by the melanin – the pigment that gives hair its color.

  • This generates heat in the hair follicles leading to long-lasting results.

IPL versus laser

IPL and Laser are both light-based hair removal methods. They are different types of light but with a similar mode of action that enables hair growth reduction over time. No consensus exists on whether IPL or Laser is more effective. Treatment effectiveness can, however, be affected by treatment regimen, level of energy used, hair color, skin color and coverage.

With Braun’s IPL, take back control:

  • No appointments

  • Pay once: no hidden costs

  • Privilege privacy

  • Full body treatment³

  • Visible results from home

One of my best purchases

Within 4 uses I had hardly any hairs at all on my legs I have olive skin with dark hair that grows FAST. In summer I usually have to shave every couple of days now I'm not shaving at all. I'm almost finished with the recommended treatment before moving to maintenance. Would absolutely encourage someone to buy this 10/10. I'm now using on top of legs, bikini line and underarms. For someone who is high maintenance with shaving it sounds OTT but it's literally life changing lol.

Amazing

I have used this for about a month now, I can really see the difference already, my hair on my legs are growing back slightly but that's because I have missed some hairs. I am so shocked with how quickly it has worked and very impressed. Have recommended to family and friends about this product. Its really easy to use and love that it all fits into a carry case.

Love it

Iv been after a IPL for ages as they look amazing and this one doesn't disappoint at all. The case is beautiful as is the IPL itself. Iv been using this for a month now and have seen a small difference already. It is so easy to use although took me a while first time as I wanted to make sure I did it right. Definitely recommend this anyone who's thinking about getting one.

Amazing

[This review is part of a promotion] I’ve been using this for about 3 months now and it is AMAZING! after the first go i didn’t notice any different, but after the 2nd my hairs were noticeably thinner. And now after 3 months they have completely gone. It is virtually painless you can just feel almost like a little pulse. It’s absolutely life changing!

So easy to use!

[This review is part of a promotion]I’ve never done laser hair removal before so I have to admit I was a bit nervous at first when using the product. Honestly I didn’t have anything to worry about! The instruction were very clear and easy to understand. As recommended for first time users I only did it once a week and on a weaker setting. I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort and didn’t develop any kind of irritation afterwards. […]
