Frankie Bridge has been raving about Braun’s IPL hair removal device, and Boots just knocked £460 off the price, taking it to under £400 in time for Black Friday
Black Friday is the perfect time to pick up those pricier items that you may have been putting off purchasing for months or even years. For some, that’s often a beauty gadget, with hair removal devices being one of the most popular items to splurge on during the discount weekend.
Although they’re admittedly a hefty up front expense, they work out much more affordably than regular trips to the salon for laser hair removal, which can quickly add up to thousands of pounds. Especially when they’ve been slashed by almost £500 in a Black Friday deal, like Frankie Bridge’s favourite Braun Smart IPL Skin i·expert.

Originally priced at £859.99, the hair removal device is now £399.99, saving you £460. For anyone worried about carrying out their own at-home hair removal, Frankie added: “You can tell on my face it’s fine. And it’s super safe to do at home, it has built in skin protection technology.”
The skin protection technology Frankie mentioned continuously reads your skin tone 80 times per second, automatically adapting the intensity level of each flash. There are 10 different levels of intensity, which makes sure you get fast results whilst still being gentle on your skin.
The Braun Smart IPL uses a spectrum of light that tackles the root of your hair follicles, disabling them and preventing re-growth over time. After an initial four to 12 week cycle of weekly treatments with the device, you can expect to see up to one and half year’s worth of smooth, hair-free skin.
Boots shoppers have been raving about their results too, with one saying: “Take it, no hesitation this is working I’m using it every 2 weeks and it works,” whilst another wrote: “I love this device! It has a great design that is easy to use. I used this on my legs for several weeks and was impressed by the effectiveness. The battery life is also helpful when trying to do large areas.”
Some shoppers have found they had less success than others, with one saying: “I was extremely hopeful but once again let down by all of the hype and promises of slower hair regrowth. I’ve used this religiously for months on face, legs and underarms – it has only slowed the regrowth of my underarms. Very disappointed.”
However, another added: “Being honest I was a little skeptical if I would see real results but i decided to bite the bullet and give it a try I am about 7 weeks into my sessions and my 99% of my under arm hair is gone (just a small spot where I missed remains) I would say my legs are 90% hair free and my bikini area is about 75%. I anticipated my bikini taking about 12 weeks or so before I even started so I am right on track. Overall I am very happy with my results so far and glad I made this purchase! I have light to medium skin with dark brown hair.”
Frankie also shared that you can get the Braun Smart IPL Skin i·expert on Amazon right now too, where it’s been reduced from £929.99 to £429.99, saving you £500. Although the discount isn’t quite as hefty as Boots, it does have the added bonus of free next day delivery for Prime members, or free delivery within a couple of days for non-Prime members.
If Frankie’s Braun Smart IPL Skin i·expert is still a little pricey for you, we also spotted a more budget-friendly option from Silk’n. The Silk’n Infinity Fast IPL Hair Removal Device was £350 but has now been reduced to £199 after also being included in Boots’ massive Black Friday discounts. The Silk’n model has the added bonus of being suitable for all skin tones, which some IPL devices aren’t, and can emit up to 120 light pulses a minute, making it quick and efficient to use.
