[This review was submitted after receiving an incentive (coupon, discount, free sample, sweepstakes, contest with raffle etc).] I was so excited to receive this Braun IPL from Influenster. I have always wanted to try one but did not know if they would work. I have spent many years shaving and waxing to remove unwanted hair. Which is very time consuming and costs can add up. I have considered laser treatment but could never justify the costs to have it done. So IPL was the next best thing. This box contains everything you need. All you need to do is download the app that guides you on how to use this and helps record your progression. It helps to give you an optimised plan for each body part you are looking to use this machine on. It tells you on the side of the box which skin and hair tones this would be suitable for. I have Asian olive skin and black hair and this IPL is perfect for me. It also comes with two heads depending on what body area you are going to use the machine on. First you shave the area you are looking to IPL so that the area is hairless. Then you use the machine and away you go. There is a little pinch time feeling but it’s not painful. It does get a little warm but nothing alarming. This is intelligent and automatically detects the correct power for you so no need to alter any settings. After a few weeks of using I can already see less hair growth compared to if I was going to shave or wax that area. I see this machine being long term. I have only used on my legs and arms for now but will continue to use on the rest of my body. For my hairless journey.

This IPL comes in a very nice, great quality bag with two heads and a razor. There is an app to download that guides you through setting up the machine and how to use it, that also serves as a way to keep track of treatments and also notify you when your next is due, and works on both wifi and Bluetooth. I love a bit of tech and app connectivity, so this is right up my street. I was surprised that the device has a fan in it, I don’t know why, as I suppose it would need one given that it’s intense light… anyway, the handheld device is very sturdy and feels heavy and robust in the hand. The two heads are easy to change and the app guides you through what head to use, what intensity to use and how to use the device, either stamping treatment or gliding treatment. I had a bit of a sweat on when I first came to use it, I was worried what was going to feel like. I was following the instructions but it wasn’t doing the test flash on me, no doubt because of user error, as you need to place on your skin so it can read your skin tone, and it wasn’t firing. My fault because I chose to do it at the bottom of my leg near my ankle and I don’t think I was holding it correctly. After I figured that out, it advised you to wait 15 minutes to see if there was any reaction. There wasn’t, so I was free to continue. It feels hot and a very bright flash and click, I think the anticipation is far worse than the actual thing! It is by far the least painful method of hair removal, because it isn’t at all. It’s a 1/10 at best for pain, so it’s nothing at all I immediately switched to the precision head to do my face - I used the app to set up a new weekly schedule and chose the lowest of the three intensities, selected the colour of the hair and off I went. It took 3 minutes max, and I used 22 flashes. It felt totally fine, and just ever so slightly hot and a little tight afterwards, which subsided in a couple of minutes. Very very easy to do and so quick!!! I already can’t wait to do the next treatment next week! You must shave clean and dry the areas you are treating, and given I had a days growth of hair on my legs I’ll be trying that after I’d been in the shower, that’s the only prep you need to do. It will probably take a while to do my face hairs as I have been plucking daily for years, so I will shave only from now on so that they will all eventually be in the same growth cycle, so I can treat them all. Literally the only reason I haven’t bought one before now is that they are expensive, but I believe there are some models that are half price over Christmas. I will be using it pretty much from the chin down and hopefully not need to shave again!

It came in a wonderful case and looks great. Luckily I have been able to give it to my mum who has a different tone to me and it seems to work well, hopefully it will be good for months to come
