Laser is known as the most effective method of hair removal available – but also as the most expensive. Luckily, there are a number of more convenient and less costly home hair removal options that can deliver great results too.
Braun is one of the leading brands on the market for IPL devices. And one of its bestsellers, the IPL Silk-Expert Pro 3, has just been reduced from £519.99 to £269.99 as part of Amazon‘s premium beauty week – this is cheaper than getting it from Braun direct (£367.99).
The device promises one year of hair reduction, with visible results in just four weeks. It features a sensor that automatically adapts to your skin tone, multiple heads for head-to-toe treatment and flashes up to 100 times per minute for fewer missed spots.

As it’s advised to shave before treatment, to help the light beam to focus in on the hair root, you can get the eos Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream, available at £8.99 at Amazon. The IPL machine has a 4.5 rating out of 189 reviews on Braun.
A very satisfied shopper wrote: “I have just started using this and have definitely noticed a difference. I’m always a bit sceptical with hair removal products but I’m really impressed, would definitely recommend this product.”

“I have darker skin and IPL has never worked for me in the past (for reference I’m 5 on the Fitzpatrick scale). But this product actually works on my skin, it’s brilliant I’m so happy with it,” another added, while a third commented: “I have been using this for a few weeks now and have definitely noticed a reduction in hair growth, it’s taking it longer to grow back and it is coming through thinner, and it’s pain free and really quick to do.”
Although a great product overall according to the reviews, some customers were disappointed by the results: “I used this product every week as it suggests for the course and have used it again since but I have never noticed a difference in hair growth at all. I was very disappointed with it as it is expensive and I was really looking forward to finding results.”
