PRODUCT

Product Information

The product is the Adapt 1, model number 90059365/V-21. It is a hair removal device that utilizes SensoAdapt technology. The device comes with a treatment window, SensoAdapt skin tone sensors, LED power bars, a sensitive mode button with indicator lights, a treatment button, a handle, a base station with a serial number, a mains cord, a glass filter, and three types of heads: standard head, wide head, and precision head (not available with all models).

The device is not recommended for use on red, grey, white, or blonde hair as it is not effective on these hair colors. It is also not recommended for individuals who have had a laser skin resurfacing procedure on the area they wish to treat. A waiting period of 6 months is advised after such a procedure before using the device.

It is important not to touch the glass filter during or directly after use. Regularly inspect the filter for damage and do not use the device if the filter is cracked or missing. The built-in reflector should also be in the correct place for proper functioning of the device.

Hair removal by lasers or intense pulse light sources can cause increased hair growth in some individuals, particularly females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck. Therefore, it is not recommended to use the device on any area where you may want hair to grow back.

Possible side effects of using the device include mild pain/discomfort in the treated area, warm feeling or tingling sensations during treatment (which typically disappear after a few seconds to a minute), itchiness in the treatment area, and skin redness during or after treatment (which usually disappears within minutes). In rare cases, swelling and redness that do not disappear within two to three days, temporary changes in skin color, and blistering or burning of the skin may occur.

Product Usage Instructions

How Does Silk· Expert Pro5 Work?

Silk· Expert Pro5 is designed to help break the cycle of hair growth. Light energy is transferred through the skin’s surface and is absorbed by the melanin present in the hair shaft. The absorbed light energy is converted to heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle. Treated hairs naturally fall out over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks

What to Expect

Immediately post treatment, you should not see any significant side effects from treatment (Refer to section 4 for more information on side effects). In the first few weeks following the initial treatments, you will still see some hairs growing. These are likely to be hairs that were missed during treatment i.e. they were lying dormant and not in their growth phase (Anagen) during treatment, when IPL is most effective. Around 6 weeks into the 12 week treatment program you should see a reduction in hair growth. However, many hairs may still not have been treated in their growth phase. It is important to continue the weekly treatments. After the 12 week program, you should see a significant reduction in hairs within the treated area. Any remaining hairs should be finer and lighter in color. Continued monthly treatments, or treatments as required, should maintain the reduction in unwanted hair.

  • Follicle Redness: One subject reported a red spot at the treatment site following In all cases, the treated skin returned to normal within 7 days.

Benefits

The device is indicated for the permanent reduction of unwanted hair. A clinical trial was performed to assess both the safety and efficacy of the device. The key features of the clinical trial were:

  • All treatments were performed by non-medically trained operators at a single location using devices identical to the one provided in this package;
  • All subjects were required to complete questionnaires related to their general health and those who could not be treated, e.g. those who had one or more of the contraindications as listed in Section 3 of this User Manual were In addition, all subjects were required to provide Informed Consent as per international clinical trial requirements;
  • A total of 53 female subjects, aged between 19 and 45 years old, commenced the trial;
  • Three subjects left the trial during the treatment period for personal No subjects left the trial due to problems associated with the use of the device;
  • Each subject received 12 weekly treatments to their chosen body location. A typical treatment consisted of shaving the site then applying the device following the same process as outlined in Section 7, Step 3 of this user manual;
  • Hair counts were used to measure the change in the amount of hair 6 months after the last treatment and 12 months after the last The hairs in the treatment sites were counted via high-resolution photography and the difference in hair counts was calculated as a percentage change;
  • When used as directed, the clinical trial participants showed on average 44% less hair 6 months after their last treatment and 36% less hair 12 months after their last treatment when compared to hair counts taken before treatment (see table below). Actual results did vary from person to person
    Number of subjects at 6 months post treatment| 50
    ---|---
    Hair reduction at 6 months post treatment| 43.9 %
    Number of subjects at 12 months post treatment| 33
    Hair reduction at 12 months post treatment| 36.0 %
    % of subjects met success (> 30% hair reduction) on all body areas at 12 months post treatment. Subject success is defined as greater than 30 % hair reduction at all treatment sites at 12 months.| 66.7 %
  • The incidence of side effects during the clinical trial was minimal (as outlined in Section 4 above) and the majority of subjects (48 out of 50) would recommend the device to their friends.

How To Use

WARNING : Follow each step in the treatment process ensuring you complete all aspects of each step
before progressing to the next.

  1. Step 1: Preparing the treatment area
    Remove all visible hair on the skin before using the device. You may use your preferred hair removal method. Remove any cosmetics, lotions and cream from the area you wish to treat. Cleanse the treatment area and pat dry. To keep the treatment window clean and intact and prevent hair burns, make sure there is no more hair remaining on the skin surface.

  2. Step 2: Doing a Test Patch
    Before your first treatment on each new body area, we RECOMMEND you test your skin (in that area) for reactions.
    The patch test area should be approximately 3 cm x 2 cm in size (equivalent to 2 flashes applied to the skin side by side). Follow Step 3 to treat the area.
    Wait 24 hours following the patch test, to ensure your skin is suitable for treatment and there is no adverse reaction to the light energy. If there is no reaction after 24 hours, you may treat the area around the test patch. The ‘patch tested area’ should not be re-treated for at least one week.

  3. Step 3: Treatment

    • a) Use the mains cord (8) to connect the base station to an electrical outlet. Press any button to activate the device. The LED power bars (3) will light up once and a fan will start running. This means the device is in READY mode. During operation, the device will heat up slightly.
    • b) Press the treatment window (1) firmly against the area to be treated ensuring both skin tone sensors (2) are in contact with skin. The device will not operate if only one skin tone sensor is in contact with skin. Once both skin tone sensors measure a valid skin tone, the pre-set output power is displayed on the LED Power Bars (3) located on both sides of the device
      Silk·expert Pro5 uses skin tone sensors that continuously measure the color (tone) of your skin and automatically set the correct level of output power needed based on the measured skin tone. This is not related to the Fitzpatrick skin tone classification. If your skin is too dark for treatment with Silk·expert, the skin tone sensors will detect this and prevent the unit from operating.

RED lights will be shown in the Power Bar if your skin is too dark.

If a valid skin tone is detected, the Power Bars will illuminate WHITE.

  • Press the treatment button (5). The device will flash and a warm sensation should be felt. If you find the treatment uncomfortable, you can reduce the light intensity using the sensitive mode button (4) by toggling through the following 3 settings:

  • Standard:3 indicator lights

  • Sensitive: 2 indicator lights

    • Extra sensitive: 1 indicator light (lowest light intensity with fast flash rate)
      Sensitive and extra sensitive settings are meant for sensitive areas and first time users. With reduced light intensity more treatments may be required to see the desired effects.
      The power bars flash to confirm a change in the light intensity setting.
      When holding the sensitive mode button (4) longer than 3 seconds, the device is deactivated. After 10 minutes without use, the device is automatically deactivated. To re-activate, press any button
      Move the treatment window to the next area to be treated and The device needs to recharge between flashes. This will take less than a second.
      Ensure that the entire area receives treatment, but DO NOT treat an area twice (overlapping flashes).

Treatment Modes

The area to be treated has to be hair-free, clean and dry. Before pressing the treatment button, look away from the device to avoid the bright light. In seldom cases, a user may find the flash too bright, however there is no safety risk associated with this. For increased comfort, we recommend treating in a well-lit room to help reduce the perceived brightness.
