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.

1 out of 5 stars extremely painful   January 8, 2009
Elena Bono (Bedford, VA USA)
This DOES work...very well. It just hurts way too much. I could only do little bits at a time and it did give me a lot of irritated bumps. I can't believe there are people who think this does not hurt.


5 out of 5 stars great   January 8, 2009
Eman Gomaa (NJ,USA)
I use this one as a shaver only and I love it. I know others who use it as an epilator and they say it's very nice for sensitive skin. I recommend it for both epilating and shaving delicate areas.


4 out of 5 stars First time epilator user   January 7, 2009
Navpreet Kaur (USA)
I have never waxed in my life or used any epilators/razors on my legs and arms before. This is my first epilator and I bought it after my sister recommended it. It was painful for first few uses as I am not use to that pain. No pain if yuu just use razor head. After use your skin becomes very smooth and silky. I love it. But make sure you use it the night before or over the weekend as I had some red spots that were gone the next morning. Also, you need to visit the spots more than 2-3 times to get rid of all the hairs but if you use epilaor then you are good for 2-3 weeks. As far I am happy with the product but it is little pricky.


5 out of 5 stars Ouch at first!   January 6, 2009
J. Fallon (Virginia)
I just bought this a week or so. I recently began waxing my underarms and it was not as painful as I thought but it was messy. Ended up having to do it in the kitchen to be close to the microwave to heat the wax, and that is not the place for waxing your armpits! So while looking around for wax products, I came across this. I thought since it was the cost of a good bikini was job, I'd give it a try. I started first with the underarms. A bit uncomfortable the first time, second time not so bad. I have been doing it every morning, after you get the first big amount off, I think it is less painful to do it daily, since the hair grows in a different times anyway. Then you are only pulling 10-20 hairs out instead of 100-200. I certainly do not want to let it all grow out and go through the initial feeling again. Then I got the nerve up for the legs. I gave it a dry run and it was very uncomfortable, but became bareable after I got over the shock. I also tried the bath first, but it did not make a difference in pain level. I really think those first times it is more painful purely for the amount of hair that is there. So, if you try it once and your turned off by the ouch, try it again the next day. I also have been going over my legs daily for the past week. Did my toes, little ouch. I have gotten close to my bikini line, but I'll have to get back to you on that one, I have not gotten up my nerve yet. I was using the head with the rollers, but now I am using the one without. It gets down closer, but you do have to be careful using it on skin that is not so smooth, I pinched myself just a bit under the arms.

I definately will like not having to go to the salon to get waxed if I can get the nerve up to do the bikini area. I will also like not having to let the hair grow out to a waxable length, expecially the underarm hair.

I have no problems with the cord length, but I have an outlet right near where I use it. My last bathroom, that would of been a problem. Definately like the light and the additional trimmer/epilator heads. I would vote for a cordless unit though!

Unfortunately I can't compare it to other brands or models, but I am very happy to have this as my first epilator.



5 out of 5 stars Great product bought it today.   January 6, 2009
D. Bonachea
Great product just started using it. Stings a bit at first, but after you get going it works very well and hardly gets to you as far as pain goes. Contrary to other reviews it does NOT pinch the pinch are your damn hairs. Take it from me I pressed as hard as possible on many spots and no worries just hairs coming out. Took about an hour and most of the work is done on major areas of my body. Silky smooth!! Wasnt terribly pricey either. Guys/girls will both like this.
