It’s not always easy to find the time to take care of unwanted hair.

Epilators are a highly effective hair removal tool and can leave you hair free for up to four weeks.

The [easyazon_link identifier=”B06X6GLFM1″ locale=”US” tag=”b9skinspa-20″]Braun Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa 9 9-961V[/easyazon_link] epilator is a multi-feature hair removal device that’s perfect for quick touch-ups as well as full hair removal sessions. There are a lot of reasons to love it. Here are just a few!


Braun Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa 9-961V Features

The Silk-Epil 9 is a wet and dry use cordless epilator designed to make epilating less painful. It also comes with head attachments for shaving, trimming, exfoliation, and massage. It’s an all-in-one hair removal powerhouse!

It’s totally waterproof, so you can clean it under running water and use it in the shower. The cordless design takes 60 minutes to charge for 40 minutes of operation.

What makes the Braun Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa 9-961V Better Than Other Epilators?

While there is no “one epilator to rule them all,” this epilator doesn’t just reduce bathroom clutter with its multiple hair removal features–it’s also very, very good at its main use: epilating.

First, it has a pivoting head that makes it easier to catch everything in one pass. Many epilators are easy to use on the legs, but it can be a struggle to deal with the underarms, around the knees or the bikini area. A pivoting head helps keep the epilator in contact with your skin at all times to avoid missing spots!

During epilating, you’ll also notice that the Silk-Epil 9-961V vibrates. This is intentional because it makes epilation less painful by “distracting” your nerve endings from the tweezing action.

With 40 tweezers and two-speed settings, this waterproof epilator is designed to grip hairs as short as 0.5mm. A Smartlight helps you track down even the smallest, finest hairs. The result? More thorough and effective hair removal!

What’s the difference between this model and others in the Silk-Epil line?

Compared to the previous Silk-epil 9 models, this epilator comes with the new deep massaging head attachment. Check out our review on the Braun Silk-epil 9 9-579 here.

Previous Braun models have a narrower head width, lack exfoliating brushes, or are for dry use only. All models from the Silk-epil line from model 3 to 9 feature vibrating massage rollers for a gentler epilation experience, and models 5 and up have the special tweezer technology that allows for removal of hairs as short as 0.5mm.

The Silk-Epil 9 and Silk-Epil 9-961V SkinSpa feature a 40% wider epilation head than previous models combined with included exfoliating brush heads.

Attachments and Extras:

Two Exfoliation Brushes

Exfoliation is a big part of preventing ingrown hairs after hair removal. One brush is designed for the body while the other is for sensitive areas like the face and decolletage. Regular exfoliation can really brighten up your skin, too!

Shaver Head and Trimmer Cap:

Need to trim hairs before epilating or waxing? Maybe you don’t have the time to do a full epilation? Use the included shaver head with or without the trimmer cap! Perfect for quick touch-ups or preparing for a hair removal session.

Epilator Skin Caps

The wider Power Cap works well for the legs and epilating wide areas of the body, while the smaller Facial Cap is a good choice for detailing and handling small areas like the upper lip.

Deep Body Massage Head

Besides being incredibly relaxing, massage stimulates blood circulation to the skin. This encourages healing and rejuvenation to help your skin look its best! Great for relieving tension after a rough day or easing post-epilating discomfort.

Carry Bag and Cleaning Brush

Want to take your epilator traveling? Despite its many attachments, the Silk-Epil 9 SkinSpa is easy to pack up thanks to an included carry pouch. An included brush helps you quickly clean out the epilator and shaver head after each use.

The Braun Silk-Epil 9-961V is a good choice for you if…

• You want the salon experience at home

An epilator for prep, hair removal, and post-removal care!

One of the big selling points for this epilator is the many extra functions and included accessories, giving it great value for a hair removal device. It’s also well-designed for actually epilating as well! If you have a lot of “problem areas” to target, from the face to the legs and underarms, an epilator that does it all can make removing unwanted hair super easy.
