Smart IPL, Skin i·Expert Pro 7: at Home Laser Hair Removal, Permanent Visible Hair Reduction, Vanity Case, Venus Razor, 3 Smart Heads, IPL7243

I’ve been using the Braun Smart IPL, Silk· Expert Pro 5 for the past 4 days, and I’m already impressed with the experience. The device feels very premium and is easy to handle, with clear settings that make it beginner-friendly. The included precision head is especially helpful for smaller areas like the upper lip and underarms, while the standard head works well on legs and arms. In terms of results, while it’s too early to expect permanent hair reduction, I have noticed that hair regrowth already seems a little slower and finer compared to shaving. The sessions are quick, virtually painless, and the skin feels smooth afterward without irritation. The cooling technology and gentle mode also make it comfortable for sensitive areas. The compact pouch makes storage and portability simple, and the build quality feels durable. Overall, I can see why this device is highly rated. If results continue to improve over the coming weeks as recommended, it will definitely prove to be a great investment for long-term hair reduction. Pros: Easy to use with clear settings Gentle on sensitive skin Precision head for smaller areas Compact storage pouch included Noticeable reduction in regrowth speed even after a few uses Cons: Requires consistency and patience for long-term results Slight warmth during treatment (expected for IPL devices) Verdict: A professional-grade IPL device that is convenient for at-home use. Even within the first few days, I can already see encouraging results, and I’m confident it will deliver stronger outcomes with continued use.

I've wanted an IPL device for awhile and I'm so excited about this product. This is my first time using a device like this. The instructions are clear and the app makes set-up and getting started super easy. My skin tone and hair color are a great match for using this device and the skin test provided in the app confirmed it. I had no discomfort or redness after my first use. It took a little trial and error to get the hang of how to hold the device and make perfect contact with the skin in certain areas like around the ankles and knees, but the variety of device heads included made switching it up super simple. I'm impressed with the quality of the whole package including the packaging and instructions, the app, the device, and I especially love all the accessories and the storage bag that are included. The cord on the device is super long which is very helpful. I experienced little to no pain using the device. Some sensitive areas had a little sting for a split second while the device flashed, but there was no lingering discomfort. I can't wait to see how effective this is over the course of use, I'm feeling very positive that it will give great results. The app is going to be so handy for sending me treatment time reminders and tracking my goals to hair free skin!

Opening up the product you immediately are provided a large card with a QR code to link you to their app. The app provides initial setup including instructions and a test step as well as scheduling features in order to keep track of your sessions. The app provides a means to track multiple different areas that you are working on that may have a different schedule or been started at different times. This is a really nice feature which helps ensure proper use and effect. Using the actual product is quite easy and while very bright (might want to wear sunglasses) the feeling of being zapped is small and tolerable. The manual suggests you just look away but I found that not only a bit awkward but also less user friendly than just watching it with protective eyewear on. In general the manual suggests that so long as the product is pressed firmly on the skin, the light emitted will not hurt you but it is bright. My only grip with the product is the confusion between the app and the manual. It seems to me, although I may be wrong about this, you have to pair the device to the app before it'll actually start zapping. The manual however does not mention this step at all. The instructions are quite clear in the manual on how to turn it on, the various features, and how you should operate it. After reading the manual I assumed I could just perform my test section just based off of that alone, however I was not able to get it to start zapping until paired with the app. Once paired with the app however it seemed to have no problem being used outside of the app. You power it on, click the big button once, it heats up, then you press into your skin and zap. So TLDR: install the app, pair it, and follow the instructions through the app. Afterwards you can read the manual for some more detailed written instructions and safety warnings but the app is required for initial setup (so far as I could tell). If the manual had made it clear that the first step was pairing it with the app, I would have given this 5 stars.
