[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun Silk Expert IPL hair removal is amazing! It's so easy to set up, I took it out of the box, shaved my underarms and finished the process in about 5 minutes. There was warmth with the flashes, but not painful. Using it was super easy too, just push the button and move it to the next spot. I was a little excited, so I moved and pushed the button for the next flash faster than 1 - 2 seconds, so it worried me for a second that it wasn't working, but I was a little more patient and it worked exactly as expected. If you have ever had a professional IPL treatment, it's almost exactly the same, just less painful. While using it and flashing, you do smell a slight burn, like burnt hair, but I expected it, and knew it was working from past experience with the professional treatments I had. I love it and can't wait for my next treatment!

The packaging is great. It comes with a cute little Venus razor to shave the areas you want to treat. It's very easy to assemble, just plug the power outlet together and into The laser and you're good to go. It doesn't work on tan or dark skin, and only works on lighter skin with dark hair so if you have dark skin or light hair, this product would be a waste of money for you. It has a little skin tone and body hair type chart in the instructions booklet so you can compare your skin and hair to it. It also has a built in skin tone sensor that will determine the power of the laser. If your skin is too dark the sensor will turn red and you cannot use the laser on your skin, which I think is a very smart built in safety feature. If you ever went to a salon and paid hundred of dollars to get laser hair removal it basically feels the same as a professional machine, but only smaller. It doesn't hurt at all, just feels like a slight pinching feeling. It's also very easy to use, you place the treatment window directly on the skin, wait for the skin sensor to turn white then press the top button. I used it on my underarms and forearms. So far I love this product. I can't wait to see the results!! I'm hoping to see great results with this laser hair removal system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not one to usually write reviews but seriously, this Venus Silk Expert has been amazing!! I've only used it for 4 weeks now so can't comment too much on the lasting results but so far I'm more than pleased!! I've only used the Silk Expert on one leg so far so I had a good comparison and could see if I noticed any difference. Oh yeh... huge difference! The right leg is much more sparse and bare in some places. I think 4 more treatments and I should be hair free! I also used this on my chin hairs (gotta love having kids!) and I haven't had to pluck but maybe 5 in 2 weeks!! Super excited about that! I read some reviews saying it's painful.. I don't feel it is at all... the back of my leg behind my knee was probably the most sensitive but I wouldn't call it painful. I'll update this review after a couple more weeks but I couldn't be happier with the results so far!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I received this product free from Braun to provide an honest opinion. The packaging is nice and intriguing enough that if I saw it on a store shelf, I would be interested enough to pick it up. The premise of the product is that with weekly use, hair growth will be permanently reduced and/or not return at all. I used the wand for the first time last night on my legs and while I was expecting it to hurt more than it did, it still felt like being snapped with a rubber band each time. Not too painful, but enough that it made me feel like it was working! It did take a long time to do both legs, and I'm not sure that I covered every inch, but with regular use, I'm sure all areas would be covered. I guess I will see in a few weeks if the hair is growing back more slowly, less coarse, or at all. Any of the above would be a great result!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My legs have never been so smooth. Easy to use,light weight,safer then shaving. My legs were smooth in less than 4 weeks. I haven't even had to use as much lotion on them as I did with razor shaving. No stubble,no hair AT ALL!! I will never use a razor again nor will I use any other system. I have found the easiest and best way to remove hair,who would have thought the best product would also be the eadiest?!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received this Gillette Venus Silk-Expert free from Braun to review. It is very easy to unbox. Set up is very easy, just a matter of plugging in. It even came with a regular razor to use first before using the Intense pulsed light device. It is very simple to use and am very excited to see the results after a few weeks. I will be posting future reviews as I use this weekly per the instructions and start noticing the results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so nervous to try this product. I waited a few weeks and did lots of research before I began. When I finally decided I had to try, I used the enclosed razor. I plugged the unit in and began the process. It was so easy. The light tells you when it's ready. All I had to do was hold down the button and zap. I then held the button down and simply moved the unit to each spot I wanted to zap. I have been doing it on my legs and underarms for 8 weeks. I'm already impressed with the results. My leg hair is much less. My underarm hair is almost gone. I will do the process for the next 4 weeks. I'm sure I will be happy with the results. I also was nervous about how it would feel. There is a little zap but no pain at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new invention is a blessing to all those who do not have the mindset to try laser but hate the look of your skin after repeated shaves! This is so easy to use and I am so happy to see the results in just few weeks! Its painless, effortless and done in no time - thanks to the larger light emission surface. I would call this a beautiful investment, go for it !

Great received on time

I was excited to get this product and opened it and decided to use it this morning. It's painless and easy to use. It maneuvers will for small areas and excited to see where it goes!
