If you went for a full leg wax, bikini wax, underarm wax and top lip wax every two months then you’d 100% spend more than £300 in a year. £300 might seem like a lot of money to spend on a hair-removal device but it honestly works and, for me, was money well spent. Once I’m hair-free I probably use it every 3-4 weeks to keep on top of the hair regrowth. But even during that time, my bikini line hair didn’t fully grow back and as soon as I started using it again in the spring I was back on track and hair free. I was also a bit lazy about using it through the winter and I probably didn’t use it for 3-4 months. I probably use it once a month on my legs so it slows down the growth but my hairs do grow back in weird patches. I find I often forget which bits I’ve done and which I haven’t done and it ends up patchy so I need to shave them anyway. It takes a good 10-15 minutes to do my legs and I need to pay attention. It’s not that it doesn’t work, I just can’t really be bothered. It takes longer and I get bored and I don’t particularly mind shaving my legs (I don’t suffer with shaving rash or anything like that) so I’m just lazy about using the IPL device there. I’ll admit that I’m a bit lazy using it on my legs. It also has worked on the peach fuzz on my face! It took a bit longer to see a noticeable difference there because it grows slower but I can see a huge difference now. I’ve been wearing super high legged bikinis and swimsuits and feeling confident and smooth and knowing for certain I won’t have any stubble or stray hairs. I still find it’s worked best on my bikini line – whether that’s because it’s darker, thicker hair or because I do a better job on my bikini line, I’m not sure? It’s probably a bit of both. If you’re on the fence about buying one, just get one and thank me later! Honestly, I love it so much and it’s genuinely made a difference to my life. My one year update after using the Braun IPL for one year I paid £300 for mine and the prices do go up and down! The Braun IPL I have is available on Amazon. I’m so pleased I got one and I’d 100% recommend it. ![]() You do still need to keep on top of it but you won’t need to do it anywhere near as frequently as shaving or waxing. It’s not like laser hair removal where you can, theoretically, have it done and never think about hair ever again. And I’m totally happy using it once a month because it’s quick, easy and virtually pain-free. I think I’ll continue to use it now every 4-6 weeks. I can’t say just yet how long it lasts but I’ll be happy if it lasts 2-3 months. It 100% works on legs, underarms and bikini line and it’s amazing. I don’t know if it took longer on my legs because I wasn’t as precise during my treatment (I’ll admit, I got bored!) or because it works best on darker hair? Either way, it did work eventually on my legs.įinal thoughts on the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 It’s week 14 now and I haven’t had to shave my legs at all. My bikini line and underarms are completely hair-free with no regrowth after 2 weeks.īy week 12 my legs have finally caught up and are hair-free. It’s obviously most effective with courser, darker hair. It’s worked! The area I noticed it working first is my bikini line and underarms. I know that to get the best results you need to use the device once a week and I’m surprised at myself for losing motivation but I do keep forgetting and putting it off. Week 6-8 – Losing motivation to do it weekly If things continue like they are then I’m sure there won’t be any hair in another 5 weeks. Hairs are still growing back but they’re very sparse. The area I can see the biggest difference is my bikini line. I’m starting to feel a little impatient and have read that you can use it 2-3 times a week so I’m tempted to start using it more than once a week. I’ve never spent so much time analysing the hairs on my legs! Is growth getting slower? I’m not sure. ![]() There are two heads you can use – a large and a small – so it’s just as easy to do small areas as large.
