Braun Silk-épil 5 Epilator SE5-011 Grey — Cordless Wet & Dry with Massage Cap

The Braun Silk-épil 5 SE5-011 is a cordless wet-and-dry epilator that removes very short hairs for up to one month of smooth skin, with a skin contact cap and massage roller for added comfort.

This compact epilator combines MicroGrip tweezer technology and a skin contact design to lift and remove hairs down to 0.5 mm, offering at-home hair removal without salon appointments or chemical products. Designed and manufactured in Germany, the Silk-épil 5 is built to last and made for flexible use: in the shower, bath or on dry skin. It comes complete with a cleaning brush and travel pouch so you can maintain hygiene and take the device with you.

How does the Silk-épil 5 remove hairs more effectively than waxing?

The device uses MicroGrip tweezers that mechanically grasp and extract hairs at the root, including very short stubble that waxing can miss. Because it targets the hair root you get longer-lasting smoothness—up to a month—without chemicals or sticky residues.

• MicroGrip technology captures hairs as short as 0.5 mm
• Removes hairs 3x shorter than many waxes (P&G internal study)
• Works on contours like knees and underarms for thorough coverage

Will using it in water reduce discomfort?

Yes—wet use under warm water can ease the sensation during epilation. The Silk-épil 5 is safe for bath and shower use, and the included massage roller cap further diminishes discomfort by stimulating skin during hair removal.

• Wet-and-dry design for shower or bath epilation
• Massage roller cap reduces perceived pain
• Cordless operation prevents water-related inconvenience

What accessories come with the SE5-011 and how do they help?

The package includes a skin contact cap, a cleaning brush and a travel pouch—each accessory is intended to improve results, maintenance and portability so you can use and care for the epilator easily.

• Skin contact cap brings epilator head closer for more precise hair removal
• Cleaning brush removes hair from the head to keep performance consistent
• Travel pouch protects the device and makes storage/transport simple

How long between sessions and what maintenance does it need?

Most users experience up to one month of smooth skin after epilation, though individual hair growth cycles vary. Routine maintenance consists of brushing out trapped hairs and occasional gentle rinsing when used wet; replace or service parts if wear affects performance.

• Expect up to one month of smoothness depending on hair growth
• Brush the epilation head after each use; rinse when used in water
• Store in the supplied pouch to protect the unit between treatments

It suits first-time epilator users and experienced at-home groomers who want a compact, wet-and-dry model that handles short stubble, contours like knees and underarms, and includes simple accessories for comfort and upkeep.
