Description:
This at-home IPL device offers a salon-style hair-reduction routine designed for regular use, promising up to two years of smooth skin according to the manufacturer and visible results after two sessions when following the regimen. It aims to treat full body areas quickly, with a claimed full-body session in around 10 minutes and an adaptive flash system for safer self-treatment.
Key Points
The device combines an intense pulsed light system with a SmartSkinProtect sensor that continually adapts each flash to your skin tone, reducing the risk of incorrect exposure. It is presented as Braun’s fastest IPL for home use and is supplied with a pouch and a Gillette Venus razor for preparation. The head is UV filtered and there are three intensity modes to adjust comfort and efficacy, making sessions gentle and nearly painless even on sensitive areas. 🩷

Benefits
The adaptive flash technology helps to match treatment to varying skin tones during a session, which can increase confidence when treating multiple areas in one sitting. For users who prefer privacy and convenience, the short full-body session time is a clear time-saver compared with repeated salon visits. The combination of gentle settings and a UV filtered head aims to reduce irritation, and the supplied razor means you have the basic prep kit straightaway. ⚪
Usage Recommendations
Before the first session follow the manufacturer’s regimen and test a small area to confirm skin response, since results are reported to vary between individuals. Use the appropriate intensity mode for comfort and switch to lower settings for more sensitive zones. Treat clean skin after shaving and avoid sun exposure on treated areas as advised by dermatological guidance. Consider that IPL effectiveness depends on hair colour and skin tone differences; the device’s skin sensor adjusts flash intensity, however individual suitability may differ according to natural pigmentation and hair contrast. 😊.
