Braun Silk-épil 9 9-579 Women’s Epilator Product Review

The standout feature of the Silk-épil 9 is its MicroGrip Tweezers that utilizes 40 rotating rollers that grab onto your hair and plucks it out. What makes this tech standout is its incredibly small grip of 0.5mm, which is nearly the size of a single sand grain.

As you can guess by the name, the MicroGrip holds on to the smallest hair follicle on your skin and extract it. In contrast to waxing, the sticky sheet may not be effective in grabbing small hair from your skin. With the MicroGrip tech, you can prevent ingrown hair from forming. In addition, epilator uses SmartLight technology. This allows the Silk-épil 9 to find the finest hair on your skin and remove it.

The epilator has two-speed settings. The first one is a gentler and low-speed one, which is useful for the delicate parts of your body such as your hair and armpits. The second setting has a faster speed that you can use on non-sensitive areas like your arms and legs.

The upgraded feature of the Silk-épil 9 from other Silk-épil model is its 30mm head, which is 40 percent wider than its predecessor is. This covers a large area across your skin so it can take out as much hair as possible in one motion. In addition, the head can pivot forward and backward. This allows for a flexible movement of the Silk-épil 9 over most contours of your body.

In regards to the Silk-épil 9 when it comes to painless hair removal, expect to feel some stinging when using the epilator. It is important to note that the epilator is taking away your hair right down from its roots, which means there is always some form of pain as the device works. However, Silk-épil 9 can still make the experience more endearing than other competing epilators.

While the Silk-épil 9 is plucking your hair, a pulsing vibration massages your skin. This offers quick relief from the hair removal pain. Another important feature is the device’s waterproof design. This lets you use the Silk-épil 9 in the shower or bath. The use of warm or cool water helps alleviate the stinging that comes from hair removal. This also allows for the application of epilator gel or foam before using the device to further decrease the pain.

When fully charged, the epilator can work for up to 40 minutes. The battery is one of the major flaws of the device as we can see. Not only does it have a running time of less than an hour, but it also takes an hour to charge the Silk-épil 9 until its battery is 100 percent. In addition, the epilator does not work while it is charging.

You get five attachments with the Silk-épil 9. The most basic of which are the skin, facial, and trimmer cap. These three attachments let you customize the opening of the epilator so you can remove hair on specific parts of your body.

While you might think that three attachments are all you need for full-body epilating, we cannot see one that is suitable for bikini areas or the most intimate part of the body. A suitable attachment for that area is a smaller opening to target the sensitive skin. The facial attachment opening is much larger than what we want for a bikini epilator attachment.

One of the interesting attachment is the shaver head. As the name suggests, this attachment converts your epilator into a razor. Meanwhile, the facial brush attachment gives you a deep cleansing massage on your face. The brush cleans out the impurities within your pores.

Final Conclusion

While no epilator system provides pain-free hair extraction, the Braun Silk-épil 9 still makes the experience less painful as possible. This is thanks to the massage function that works in harmony with the MicroGrip Tweezers. You can also lessen the sting by using the epilator where there is running water. On the other hand, the epilator does the job in removing nearly any hair on parts of your body.

The only complaint we have is the lack of attachment intended for the intimate area, low battery life, and the unit not working while it is charging. On the other hand, the three shortcomings are minor inconveniences in exchange for smooth skin.
