Meet the Skin i-expert, Braun’s newest laser hair removal device—one that the brand says is the only “smart” option in this category. What exactly does that mean? The beauty gadget connects to a compatible smartphone app via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology to tailor your treatment to your needs.

Most laser hair removal devices have about 200,000 flashes or the equivalent of 780 at-home treatments, Dr. Nazarian previously told us in our guide to the best facial hair removal devices. This IPL device has double that, aka 1,560 treatments, meaning your new investment will last for several years even with consistent use. Not only that but each hair removal sesh will only cost you $0.32, which is a third of the price of a wet n wild eyeliner and a Pentel ballpoint pen.

Wohlner was impressed with how well the intuitive app assessed her skin tone and hair color for compatibility. She admits that she never used interchangeable heads before because they were intimidating. However, Braun solved that problem because the app told her what head to use for different parts of her body. The software even analyzes how much coverage Wohlner needs to ensure she doesn’t miss any spots. Lastly, the app has a built-in calendar, so she’ll always remember when she’s due for some zaps—something Wohlner says can be hard to keep track of, but is key for results.

Like other Braun laser hair removal devices we’ve tried, this one comes in a sturdy carrying case that keeps everything neatly organized under your vanity, or wherever you choose to store it. The unit doesn’t call out any specific cooling technology, but Wohlner said her experience was largely pain-free. “I felt a little zippiness here and there, but nothing I could actually describe as painful—more like a super quick, tiny pinch.”

As for the results, they were solid. “I have super coarse hair that typically requires a shave every time I shower, and the fact that I didn’t have to shave my armpits for weeks after my first session is saying a lot,” says Wohlner. “After three more sessions, I saw a pretty major payoff. There are definitely a few hairs still popping through, but they’ve grown back so slowly.” Overall, this device is pricey, but for someone serious about tackling the hair on their body—whether armpits, legs, Brazilian, and beyond—it’s worth every penny, especially if you feel like you could use a little help through the process.
