The Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 PL5157 IPL delivers permanent hair reduction with the only IPL technology that adapts to your skin colour. The IPL targets the melanin in the hair follicle, which breaks the cycle of hair re-growth. The PL5157 delivers 400,000 flashes, 30% more than previous IPL models. This is not a laser hair removal device, but instead uses advanced IPL technology to give you up to 6 months of smooth skin from home, with visible hair reduction in only 4 weeks.The SkinPro 2.0 (SensoAdapt) sensor continuously reads your skin tone 80 times per second and automatically adjusts the intensity level to ensure the perfect balance between fast results and gentleness on your skin. Gliding mode gives fast IPL treatments suitable for large areas such as arms and legs, which can be treated in 5 minutes. Normal, gentle, and extra gentle modes allow maximum comfort during treatment. Also suitable on body for men. Track your treatments using the Braun Silk-expert App available on Google Play and the App Store.
