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.

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.

Customer Reviews
Takes some getting used to, but it definately works!!
This is a great product, albeit uncomfortable. It is like being tweezed a hundred times over, although the more you do it, the less uncomfortable it is. It does not have the rough skin side effects of shaving and the inconvenience of waxing. I use it most often on my chin and legs. Hell it also has a bonus interchangeble shaver head. I have not been as bold as to try it on my underarms and bikini line yet though. After a couple of uses it has more than paid for itself. And I am glad that I purchased it. I use it a couple of times per month.

Continuing usage provides excellent results.
This is my third epilator-type product and I love it. I have been using one for several years with excellent results. The most difficult part is getting started, as it can be painful the first use especially in areas where the skin does not have much muscle underneath. Dedication to consistent use is rewarded with the best results. I would not recommend it for use where the skin is loose such as the face and underarms. Each time you remove a hair, the regrowth is softer and gradually grows back more slowly. After months of use, there is little regrowth. However, I wish it were cordless or at least had a longer cord, as I have to use an extension cord.

So glad I bought this
I was spending a ridiculous amount of time working on my legs with my old Epilady. Based on these reviews, I got this one and I have been extremely pleased. For me, this is painless, though I've been using epilators for years and this one gets even the tiniest hairs. It's great.
