Proven Fast and Painless Hair Removal
Epilation removes hair at root level resulting in smooth skin that lasts for up to four weeks. Older models used to pinch and pull, but the Xpressive features a massage system that stimulates the skin before hair removal and gently soothes after to reduce pain. A set of Olay Pre-Epilation wipes are included to soften the skin and make the process even gentler. The perfect solution to all-over hair removal, the Xpressive quickly takes away even the tiniest hair with a 40-tweezer system that has two speeds and a pivoting head for maximum thoroughness. Because you don't want to miss one of those flat-lying strays, the Xpressive also has a SmartLight that highlights every hair for your complete control.

Super Smart, Rechargeable Design
Braun's Silk-epil Xpressive is specially designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. You'll experience easy grip and control for maneuvering over sensitive places on your body. The included shaver head with trimmer cap allows a fast, close shave of underarms, bikini line, and other challenging areas. Regrowth is slow and it leaves hair finer and thinner every time around for gorgeously smooth skin. The epilator is fully washable for easy cleaning and it is rechargeable, so you can use it wherever and whenever you'd like. It comes with shaver head and trimmer, massage system, efficiency cap, beginner cap, underarm cap and pouch.

I am fair-skinned so shaving left the black roots in my legs. I tried the epilater & love it!! There are no hair roots left & i no longer have to shave every other day. My legs stay smooth for almost 2 weeks!

If you are new to epilators, i would also recommend the wet/dry panasonic epilator as you can use it in the shower, so your skin is less sensitive. I upgraded to this epilator because of the various heads & faster charge time. I didn't notice any less pain with this product than my previous epilator. I did not give it 5 stars b/c this model does not come with the face attachment, to epil my face, & i didn't feel any less pain than my previous epilator. Overall, this product is great & worth the cost. I only wish it was a wet/dry epilator.

Epilating will hurt the first time (...Epilators are plucking a group of hairs at once). However, the results are worth the initial pain & I definitely will not go back to shaving.

Rating is based on the average rating submitted by others.

However, note that the 3 customer images that have been uploaded are for the SE7681 model. As well, there is an image in the product description which refers to the "trimmer". The head shown is the Precision Head, which does not come with this model. It comes with the SE7681 model.

Ok, really, I'm not ready to dump my shaver as I'm still scared of trying the underarms. :)

I bought the rechargeable Braun Epil system 2 weeks ago. It charged for a week as I tried to get my nerves up to try it. A week ago I took the plunge. I'm not going to lie, it was not nice. I'd say it felt like taking hot sandpaper to my lower legs. But it did get easier I I persevered. I did my lower legs and some of my upper legs. As I have researched hair removal in the past, I knew that it's impossible to stay hair free for long as the cycle of air regrowth has it's three stages. At best you're removing 1/2 the hairs as the other half are in the resting stages. So I decided that I would do the epilation every Sunday. And every week I'd go a little further up my inner thigh (I'm a good 5 inches below the bikini area. I doubt I'll make my easing into the most sensitive areas until after swimsuit season but I will get there. :)

Anyway, the product is great. After one week my legs felt still pretty smooth but I could start to see a couple hairs and it wasn't as silky as the week before. So I think my plan of weekly until the hairs grow back slower is a good idea.

Like the other reviewers I have very sensitive skin. I can not shave without using a cortisone cream afterwards. That was the only way I found to stop the rash. Because of that, I chose to use the cortisone cream with aloe afterwards as my skin was really itchy (very dry skin as well). The first time the red bumps disappeared after about 3 hours. This time they left within 30 minutes. Very cool product.

Eventually I will toss my shaver out. I will get to the point of epilating the underarms as well as the bikini area but being that I don't like pain, I need to work up to it.

Time it took to do the lower and most of the upper legs: the first time it took about 40 minutes. That was with me turning it off to convince myself this was a good thing. This week took only about 12-15 minutes and I only turned it off once between doing each leg so that I could tap out the pulled hairs.

So far I'm using the Olay wips as they cam with it. I'm not sure what difference they make bust since all is going smoothly (pun intended) I'll keep using them. I believe I saw them sold separately here on amazon.

Before I bought the product, I did research it and appreciated EVERYONE'S reviews, here on Amazon and just googling the web. If you're nervous or hesitant, I highly recommend going to YouTube and searching for Braun epil. There is a young lady that did a 10 minute video introducing you to the epilator. It was very good and pushed me towards the purchase. I really liked seeing a demonstration of how it worked.

Truly this is a great product and I will be recommending it to my daughter as shaving has been a source of literal irritation. :)
