How do I clean my Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 PL5117?

Can you use Silk-expert Pro 5 PL5117 on sensitive skin?

After checking the suitability of your skin and hair tone for at-home IPL treatments, you can proceed, even on potentially sensitive areas, such as the bikini line and underarms. Recommended by the Skin Health Alliance and suited to both men and women, use the extra sensitive mode for skin you think might need a more gentle approach but don't use it on broken skin.

Can I carry a Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 5117 on a plane?

Most electric devices are allowed planes as hand luggage these days so long as they're switched off, including at-home IPL products. Put your Braun Silk-expert PL5117 into the hold if you have doubts or contact your airline.

How do I use my Braun Silk-expert PL5117 IPL device?

Lay the window of your PL5117 IPL hair removal device against the area of skin you want to treat after shaving using the supplied razor. The device will automatically adjust its light intensity to interfere with your usual hair follicle regrowth. No special goggles or other equipment is necessary but check your skin and hair tone type first to see whether IPL treatments are suited to you.

How often should I use a Braun PL5117 IPL for best results?

When you first start to carry out female hair removal with your Silk-expert Pro 5 pl5117, a weekly treatment is advisable. After three to twelve weeks, you can drop this back to about once a month until permanent results are achieved.

How does the Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 range differ from our Silk-expert Pro 3 collection?

Products like the PL5117 in the Braun Series 5 IPL range offer a superior flash rate compared to Silk-expert Pro 3 devices. This can save time with at-home treatments. In addition, the Pro 5 range offers greater longevity with more overall flashes and a greater number of intensity settings.
