Braun SILKEXPERT-PRO-5-PL5137 user manual

The Braun Silk-expert Pro 5 PL5137 has a total of 400,000 flashes.

There could be a few reasons why your Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5 PL5137 is not flashing:
1. Skin tone: The Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5 is designed to work on light to medium skin tones. If your skin tone is too dark, the device may deactivate the flashing function as a safety precaution.
2. Hair color: The device is most effective on dark hair. If you have light or grey hair, the device may have difficulty detecting the hair follicle and may not flash.
3. Not in contact with the skin: The device requires full contact with the skin to function properly. Ensure that it is pressed firmly against your skin and all sensors are in contact.
4. Power and settings: Make sure the device is fully charged or connected to a power source. Additionally, check your settings to ensure the device is not in a mode that disables the flashing function.
If none of these reasons apply to your situation, it is recommended to consult the user manual or reach out to the Braun customer service for further assistance.

The main difference between the Braun Silkexpert Pro 3 and Pro 5 IPL devices lies in their features and capabilities. Here are some points of distinction:
1. Energy Levels: The Braun Silkexpert Pro 3 has three energy intensity levels, while the Pro 5 has ten intensity levels. The Pro 5 allows for greater customization and precision depending on the user's skin tone and hair color.
2. Intelligent SensoAdaptTM Technology: The Pro 5 IPL device features an advanced SensoAdaptTM sensor that continuously reads your skin tone and automatically adapts the light intensity for optimal effectiveness and safety. The Pro 3 does not have this technology, so the user needs to manually adjust the energy level based on their skin tone.
3. Faster Treatment: The Braun Silkexpert Pro 5 IPL offers a 50% faster treatment compared to the Pro 3. This means you can cover a larger area in less time.
4. Lamp Lifespan: The bulb life of the Pro 5 is 400,000 flashes, whereas the Pro 3 has a lamp lifespan of 300,000 flashes. This difference means that the Pro 5 will last longer before requiring a replacement lamp cartridge.
It's important to note that these differences may vary depending on specific models within the Pro 3 and Pro 5 series, as Braun may introduce updates and enhancements over time.
