Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
These days women are busier than ever! Since shaving is the last thing on your mind, Braun created the Silk-epil X'elle -- a 40-tweezer epilator that provides smooth skin for up to four weeks. Best of all, it is significantly reduces the discomfort that other hair-removal systems are known for.

Proven Fast and Painless Hair Removal
Epilation removes hair at root level resulting in smooth skin that lasts for weeks. The X'elle features Active Massage rollers that glide over the skin and gently stimulate it with micro pulsations before and after the hair is removed to reduce any pain or discomfort.

The perfect solution to all-over hair removal, it features a 40-tweezer system that takes away even the tiniest hair and a SmartLight that highlights every hair, so you can't miss those flat-lying strays. For days when you don't feel like epilating, it comes with an additional shaver head with OptiTrim attachment to trim hair and maintain irresistibly smooth skin.

A Smart Design for Easy Control
Braun's Silk-epil X'elle is specially designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. You'll experience easy grip and control for maneuvering the device in sensitive areas. And its efficient Pro Clip feature follows your body curves for fast and thorough epilation wherever its needed -- whether it be the forearms, thighs, bikini area or underarms.

Two speeds give you the option of fast or slow epilation. The exclusive X'pert-epil technology has 40 uniquely positioned tweezers, for quick and more efficient results. Regrowth is slow and it leaves hair finer and thinner every time around. With this epilator, you may even save money on disposable razors and waxing.

What's in the Box
Epilator, shaving head, brush, and pouch.

Customer Reviews

Beware! HUGE leg scars!
Bought this as a Christmas gift for myself off Amazon last December. Used it a few times, and then had to stop--the shift from shaving to epilating created a GIGANTIC ingrown hair (!) problem.

It's been over a year since I bought the machine, and about 8 months since I stopped using it. I still have healing areas on my legs which are red and angry, and severe scarring--lots of discolored white areas that I'm worried won't return to skin color.

I don't know if I have extra sensitive skin or something (would be news to me) but SERIOUSLY consider if the risk is worth it before buying this! I was excited to save money/hassle, but now I'm embarrassed to wear shorts. I regret using this.

WOW It does work!
I was very skeptical of this product even though the reveiws were mostly good. I received the Braun 5270 Epilator today and tried it imediately. I have yet to master small curvy areas on my upper lip and chin, but even so it worked pretty well there.

However the results on my legs was excellent. A little painful at first but I seemed to get over initial shock in a fairly short time. I would reccomend this to anyone who is used to tweezing by hand on the face This is much faster and definately for legs.

Waxing is still way more painfull and also on me leaves a skin rippd off effect, which I then have to deal with for days after using. This product did not leave rash or any other obvious side effects to the skin after using. Well thats it I say 4 stars

does the job
I purchased this after my Emjoi OptiMini Epilator died after only about a year. I found on Amazon that this is a common occurrence. This Braun removes much more hair, although it is slightly more uncomfortable. I suspect that is because it works better. It isn't painful.

The light is awesome. Previously I would have to inch up to a specific part of the mirror in my bathroom to see what I was doing. Now I can epilate almost anywhere. I use it on my chin as well as the traditional areas. It is too big to use on you eyebrows. Yea! I am free.
