Manufacturer's Description
Perfectly smooth legs for weeks not days. The Braun Silk-épil SoftPerfection 3170 lets you enjoy silky smooth skin for up to 4 weeks.

Unique SoftLift system
Small tips integrated into SoftPerfection's epilation head lift the hairs so that even hairs as short as 0.5 mm and flat lying hairs can be removed efficiently at the root.

4-way moving pain softener
Two active massage rollers stimulate the skin not only before but also after the hair is removed to minimise the pulling sensation.

EfficiencyPro clip
Epilation with the EfficiencyPro clip allows you to cover a larger area of skin so more hairs are removed in one stroke.

Customer Reviews

amazing !!
I previously had an old generation silk epil,but after many years it has come to the end of it's life. The pain was bearable with the old one, but the new silk epil is completly pain free. Brilliant. Never could bring myself to go further than my knees before, because my thighs are more sensitive, but with this one its fine. Best of all worlds - quick and easy, no cuts, pain free, no mess, no waiting for regrowth. Just roll on summer and short skirts this year!

YES!!!!!! TRULY SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!
My daughter is driving hubby to distraction using all his disposable razors.....to the extent I thought we would have murder in the house.......she uses at least 6 per shaving session, so I thought trying this out if works would be a miracle......WOW, apart from hearing her yelling out with the initial pain everytime she uses it, it is completely hair free, I got her a little mat to put underneath her legs which can be shook out afterwards, as the hairs fall onto it, she has used it for a few sessions and shaves less, so that part is true, the pain is not unbearable, it is just the initial getting the angle right. easy to clean and store, I would highly recommend it, my hubby sends his gratitude to Braun!!!

Not as bad as u think (don't be put of by the scary noise!)
I had heard wonderful things about epilators and decided to go for it. The solo (pink) was £5 cheaper as it didn't have the ice pack and 'starter kit' of the other Braun (blue), but having read some of the other reviews on Amazon (which were really helpful in choosing) it seemed the ice pack wasn't that great anyway.
When I first switched it on the noise I've got say was scary, (turbo charged lawnmower springs to mind), but when I actually pressed the epilator to my legs I was very pleasantly surprised, its a pain-you-can-bear that I've quickly got used to. I progressed up to bikini line and was even more surprised that it wasn't that bad either (although the fact that there is less surface area to cover certainly helped). Underarms have been attempted and are the most painful but I'm hanging in there for that extra bout of bravery to get them done!
An all round great product - I can't wait to not have to shave everyday! Every woman who gets sick of shaving should have one and at such a reasonable price - I bet I'd spend that much on razors in a couple of months!
PS - Moisturising with really thick moisturiser STRAIGHT afterwards really helped soothe any redness.
