What is the Braun IPL Hair Removal Device?
Promising salon-style results for face and body, men and women, the Braun Skin i-Expert Pro 7 is the latest iteration of the brand’s best-selling hair removal range – Pro 3 and Pro 5. Offering all the same benefits and accessories as the Pro 5 – four different caps for various areas (legs, bikini line, face), a smart carry case for the kit, a Venus razor to ensure a smooth and safe hair removal before using the device and built-in skin protection technology that automatically makes intensity adjustments for optimum results, the big coo around the Pro 7 is the smart technology.
At startup, users are required to download the i-connect app, which first asks you to complete a skin test to read the compatibility of skin tone and identify if it’s safe to proceed with the device (it’s suitable for all skin types except type VI). A thorough and personalised hair removal plan can then be curated. Simply decide the hair removal area you want to focus on and the app will plot in when the next hair removal session must be scheduled, alongside step-by-step guidance. It also has the functionality to send reminders and notifications, and each session records how many laser flashes have been completed so users can monitor the lifetime of their device. With approximately 400,000 flashes, it should typically last for six years of use.

How we test IPL Hair Removal Devices
The first question that usually arises when IPL devices are mentioned is the pain factor. Early models bring back memories of fiery sensations and the aroma of charred hair, so a pain-free and comfortable hair removal is top of the list. Ease of use is another must as when you’re trying to treat awkward areas such as the bikini line and underarms, you need all the help you can get to manoeuvre the device around curves and delicate areas. Therefore, everything from the instructions to using different heads and attachments is paramount.
Speed is another factor that can sway our verdict as when your shaving (or other hair removal method of choice) is fine-tuned, something that requires more effort isn’t going to appeal and gives it the potential to become just another piece of kit gathering dust in the corner. Finally, how fast you get your hairless results can make or break the device because we want efficacy without a long wait.
