IPL Silk·Expert Pro 5 PL5157, at Home Laser Hair Removal, Latest Generation IPL, Holiday Gifts for Women and Men, at-Home Hair Removal System with Soft Pouch and Precision Head

Game changer for long-term hair reduction, especially THICK BLACK HAIR!
After monitoring the IPL Silk·Expert Pro 5 for several years, I finally took the plunge during an Amazon Prime sale, and it’s been an illuminating journey. As someone with pale Asian skin and thick black hair (when I say thick, I mean THICK), my struggle with daily shaving routines has been arduous. However, this device has significantly altered my hair maintenance regime.The results were apparent after just 3-4 sessions; my armpit hair, which required daily shaving, thinned considerably, reducing my shaving frequency to just once or twice a week. However, I learned firsthand that consistency is crucial with this device. A break of 2-3 months led to a reset in progress, underlining the need for regular use to maintain results.The IPL Silk·Expert Pro 5 is user-friendly, which is a significant advantage for those new to at-home laser hair removal. The included manual is straightforward and easy to follow, making the setup and operation process simple. The device offers three modes, catering to different needs and pain tolerance levels. The third and most intense mode proved too painful for my low pain tolerance, but the second mode struck the right balance between efficacy and comfort, especially for thicker hair. While it does sting slightly, it’s bearable and far less intimidating than professional laser treatments. Users should be prepared for the bright flash of light during use; wearing sunglasses as recommended in the manual helps mitigate discomfort.During use, there is an inevitable smell of burning hair, which, while noticeable, is not overwhelmingly unpleasant. This is a common occurrence with many laser hair removal devices and is generally considered a sign that the device is effectively targeting and burning the hair follicles.Recommended for those seeking a practical and relatively comfortable way to manage body hair over the long term!

Working so far
It’s super easy and safe to use, please READ the manual!I am on the 4th week of use and I can tell there’s a difference in hair growth. I can see it’s growing a lot slower than before, specially on the legs. Changing the heads is super easy. The sensitive mode is great for intimate areas.Something that worries me is that the more I use it, the more “missed pulses” I get, meaning that I press the button but get no light. When this happens I check that both sensors are touching the skin and that there’s no red light, I press and still get nothing. This has happened even when I just started the session. The manual says the machine needs ~1 second to recover, but I have to wait 3-4 seconds and press again to get the pulse. It’s an inconvenience since it makes the sessions longer but as long as I get the pulses I’m fine. I’m just worried it will stop working soon since this is happening more and more often. I will update if it happens.Overall I like the results so far.

Works as expected.
I have now used this for 5 weeks and have already seen a major hair reduction. I know once I complete the 12 weeks I won’t have to worry about hair growing there anymore expect for the monthly maintaince. It is relatively painless and the most pain I feel is a quick hot pin prick.

Cuando estuve investigando nunca vi que alguien comentara sobre uso en piel morena, por lo que no sabía si me iba a funcionar. Llevo poco más de un mes de uso y sí he notado diferencia. No diría que no duele, pero es tolerable y puedes regular la intensidad, así que en la más baja seguramente es menor la molestia. Definitivamente me gusta y la recomiendo si te quieres evitar las citas en un lugar de depilación.

Un excelente producto
