Silk-épil 9 epilator with MicroGrip technology | Braun UK (2024)

FAQs

Is Braun Silk Epil 9 worth it? ›

I consider my epilator the best purchase I've made in the last year. After a long hair-removal journey, I feel happy to know I have found a device that saves me time, money, and aggravation. I won't lie, epilating is a little painful, but the results are worth it.

Epilation also fits into a busy lifestyle more easily because it's easy to use at home or on-the-go and the results last up to 4 weeks. It's long-lasting, like wax, but without the hassle and inconvenience of trying to wax at home or waiting for the salon.

The silk epil 7 and 9 both have lights. The light on the 9 is brighter than the 7. The tweezer size are bigger on the epil 9, in comparison to the 7. All in all definitely worth the money and very effective.

Using the FaceSpa epilator attachment of the Braun Silk Epil 9 Flex on your face to remove beard hair is generally safe, but there are a few considerations to keep in mind.

Effectiveness: Shavers deliver quick results, while epilators offer longer-lasting smoothness. Cost: Shavers have a lower upfront cost, whereas epilators prove economical over time. Maintenance: Shavers demand blade replacements, whereas epilators need cleaning and periodic part changes.

Braun claims to remove all hairs from 0,5mm short and I think this statement is true. The Braun Silk-épil 5 is a great choice for those who are looking for a good epilator but do not want to spend a lot of money on it. This epilator does his job well and is in my opinion the best way when it's used under the shower.

So, choose an epilator that best suits your needs. Body epilators like the Braun Silk-épil 5 wet and dry, Silk-épil 9 Flex 9010, Silk-épil 3270 or SkinSpa 961 is best for areas like legs, hands, and underarms and also come with additional heads for extra sensitive areas like the bikini line.

While both epilation and waxing remove hairs from the root, waxing can press hairs flat against the skin, making them harder to lift and remove. Braun Silk-epil tweezer technology catches hair as small as a grain on sand (0.5mm).

This depends on the dermatologist, but both Dr. Engelman and Dr. Graf recommend epilators as a form of hair removal.

Can I epilate my upper lip? ›

Use an epilator

People may find that exfoliating the upper lip with a facial scrub before using an epilator gives a better result. People can then run the epilator over the upper lip to remove any unwanted hair. An epilator may cause some redness of the skin, which should soon pass.

Epilators are safe to use on your face but need to be used with caution. The skin on the face can be quite fragile so it is important that you are using these correctly, especially if you have sensitive skin. Otherwise, you may experience ingrown hairs and skin irritation.

In general, epilators remove more hair than electric shavers do. Although they can take more time and effort to use than shavers, they can save you time and energy in the long run. Because an epilator removes hairs at the root, you won't have to use it again for several weeks.
