Safety with Silk’n

With Silk’n, device safety comes first. Enhanced Home Pulsed Light™ (eHPL) technology provides superior safety with lower energy levels.
eHPL™ achieves long term hair removal results at a fraction of the energy level used in other light-based hair removal equipment. The technology combines 2 energy sources: Galvanic energy and Optical energy. The Galvanic energy enables better penetration of the Optical energy to the hair shaft by temporarily widening the skin pores. The hair shaft absorbs the light, deactivates the hair follicle and hair growth is disabled.

Skin protection
Light-based hair removal is not suitable for tanned skin. The device comes with a built-in skin color sensor (#1) that is designed to measure the complexion of the applied surface and enables energy levels according to skin complexion. The low energy used reduces its potential to cause harm or complications and contributes to your overall safety.
Furthermore, the treatment surface (#10), through which pulses of light are delivered, is recessed inside the device. This enables the device to protect your skin by avoiding direct contact between the treatment surface (#10), and the skin.

Eye protection
The device has a built-in safety feature for eye protection. It has been designed so that a light pulse cannot be emitted when the treatment surface (#10) is facing open air. The safety feature enables treatment only when the treatment surface (#10) is in contact with the skin.

Exposure to the sun

• Sun exposure includes constant unprotected exposure to direct sunlight for over 15 minutes, or constant unprotected exposure to diffuse sunlight for over 1 hour.
• Do not use on tanned skin after recent sun exposure, including tanning machines. Using the device on skin that has been recently exposed to sunlight can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypopigmentation).
• Avoid further exposure to the sun for 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after your treatment. This is because higher quantities of melanin expose the skin to greater risk when using any method of light-based hair removal. This applies to all skin types, even those that don’t seem to tan quickly.
• We don’t advise it, but if you have to go out in the sun after a treatment, be sure to apply sunscreen SPF30 or higher to the treated area. Do this for 2 weeks after a treatment (see section 4.9 How to treat if you have been in the sun).

• When the energy level is lower than 5, a short press increases the level by 1 increment. The device sets itself to manual mode and the automatic energy level setting indicator light (green) ( #4 ) is off.
• When you are at energy level 5, a short press moves the device to automatic mode and all energy level indicator lights ( #5 ) are off. The automatic energy level setting indicator light ( #4 ) will be constant green.
• If you are in automatic mode, a short press moves the device to manual mode and increments the level by 1 increment.

Pulse button ( #7 )| Triggers a light pulse.
Base electrode ( #8 )| Triggers a light pulse when pressed together with the pulse button ( #7 ).
Ready light (green) / skin tone warning indicator light (orange) ( #6 )|

• Green constant: When the device is turned on.
• Light off: The device is getting ready for the next pulse.
• Green blinks: The device is in contact with the treatment area.
• Orange blinks: The device cannot detect the skin color.

Energy level indicator lights (green) ( #5 )| Green constant: The energy is active. The number of lights on corresponds to the energy level selected.
Automatic energy level setting indicator light (green) ( #4 )| Green constant: The energy level is set automatically according to the skin tone detected.

Device sensors
The device has sensors for touch and color.

• Touch: The device will only emit pulses when at least 3 contact electrodes (#11) are in firm contact with your skin.
• Color: Light-based hair removal on darker skin tones may result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypopigmentation). The device has a skin color sensor (#1) that detects the color of your skin automatically. The skin color sensor (#1) checks your skin color at the start of, and occasionally during, each treatment.

If the device detects that your skin tone is too dark for safe use, the ready light/skin tone warning indicator light (#6) will blink orange.

Energy levels

• The energy level determines the intensity of the light pulse delivered to your skin. As theenergy level increases, so do the results, as well as the risk of possible side effects and complications (see section 5.2 Possible side effects).
• The device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest), represented by 5energy level indicator lights (#5). To change levels, short press the control button (#3).
• To set manually the right energy level for your treatment area (see section 6.4 Do a spottest).
• The device at automatic setting sets the energy level automatically according to the skintone measured by the device.
• Do not increase energly levels during a treatment session even if you feel discomfort. Discomfort may appear some time after a treatment session.
• Always begin your first use at the lowest energy setting!
• Follow the skin color chart when selecting energy levels to avoid the risk of burns, blisters or changes in skin color (see the skin color chart at the front of the user manual).

Automatic: When the pulse button (#7) is pressed, the device releases a pulse using the maximum energy level that is suitable for your skin type. There is no need to select the right energy level yourself; this will happen automatically. For example, if you have skin type 1, the pulse emitted will be at energy level 5 because that’s the highest energy level allowed for your skin type. The darker the skin tone, the lower the energy level. You can see the different skin types in the table in section 5.1 Treatment plan.
Manual: You set the energy level manually. Each short press increases the energy level by 1 increment. However, if you set the energy level higher than the level suited to your skin type, the device will not release a pulse, and the ready light / skin tone warning indicator light (#6) will blink orange.

Pulsing and gliding
Whether you decide to pulse or glide:
Avoid gaps or overlaps as you use the device. Overlaps increase the likelihood of adverse affects.

• Do not treat the same area of skin more than once per treatment session.
• Stop use immediately if you have any pain, or if the skin becomes too hot.

Pulsing is the best technique for treating specific spots or small areas.

• Press the treatment surface (#10) against your skin. Work in rows (either across or down as shown in the image). Start at one end of each row and progress to the other end. The treatment surface (#10) creates temporary pressure marks on the treated area so you can see areas you have treated.
• After each pulse, move the treatment surface (#10) to the next spot. Keep doing this pulsing action for the area you are treating.

Gliding is the best technique for treating larger parts of the body.

• Press the treatment surface (#10) firmly against your skin and slowly glide over your skin (either across or down as shown in the image). Make sure that the treatment surface (#10) is always touching your skin.
• At lower energy levels, the device takes only 0.5 – 2.6 seconds to recharge between pulses. This generates a nonstop sequence of flashes.

How to treat if you have been in the sun

Sun exposure includes constant unprotected exposure to direct sunlight for over 15 minutes, or constant unprotected exposure to diffuse sunlight for over 1 hour.
Do not use on tanned skin after recent sun exposure, including tanning machines. Using the device on skin that has been recently exposed to sunlight can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
Avoid further exposure to the sun for 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after your treatment. This is because higher quantities of melanin expose the skin to greater risk when using any method of light-based hair removal. This applies to all skin types, even those that don’t seem to tan quickly.
We don’t advise it, but if you have to go out in the sun after a treatment, be sure to apply sunscreen SPF30 or higher to the treated area. Do this for 2 weeks after a treatment.

Exposure of pulsed light to the eyes
Although you can use the device to treat facial hair, take extra care to avoid contact with the eyes, and use only below the cheekbones.
The device will only emit repeated pulses when it is in firm contact with your skin, and youkeep moving it across your skin.

What to expect with the device
During a device treatment session it is normal to experience and feel:

• A fan noise: The cooling fan makes a noise similar to that of a hair dryer.
• A popping sound with each pulse: When a pulse of eHPL™ light is activated, it is normal to hear a subtle pop sound simultaneously with the flash of light.
• A sensation of warmth and tingling: During each Galvanic pulse sequence it is normal to feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling from the Galvanic and light energies.
• Some mild red or pink color: During and just after your treatment session it is not uncommon to see some very mild, pink-like color of the skin. This is usually most noticeable around the hairs themselves.
• Stop use immediately if you see full redness of the skin, blistering or burns.

Treatment

Treatment plan
A typical full hair growth cycle may take 18-24 months. During this time multiple device treatment sessions may be required in order to achieve long- lasting hair removal.
The efficiency of hair removal varies from person to person according to body area, hair color and how the device is used.
Typical treatment plan during a full hair growth cycle:

• Treatments 1-4: Plan two weeks apart.
• Treatments 5-7: Plan four weeks apart.
• Treatments 8+: Treat as needed, until desired results are achieved.

Ideal body areas include underarms, bikini area, arms, legs, back shoulders and chest (excluding nipples). For the face, use below the cheekbones but not around or near the eyes or lips.

1. Individual response depends on hair type as well as biological factors that may affect hair growth patterns. Some users may respond quicker or slower than the average number of treatments.
2. One cannot expect permanent hair removal in a single or even double treatment sessions. The duration of the resting period for hair follicles also depends on the body area.

Possible side effects
When used according to the instructions, side effects and complications associated with the use of the device are uncommon. However, every cosmetic procedure, including those designed for home use, involves some degree of risk. Therefore, it is important that you understand and accept the risks and complications that can occur with pulsed light hair removal systems designed for home use.
There is a minor risk that stacking or overlapping of multiple pulses on the same skin spot may have some adverse effects.
Minor skin discomfort
Home pulsed light hair removal is generally well-tolerated. However, some users feel mild discomfort during use. This is best described as a mild stinging sensation on the treated skin areas. The stinging sensation may last during or after treatment.
This means that you should use the device at a lower energy level, and if that doesn’t help, you should stop using the device.
Skin redness
Your skin may become red immediately after using the device or within 24 hours. Redness generally clears up within 24 hours. See your doctor if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.
Make sure you use the energy level that is comfortable for you and suitable for your skin color.
Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness or flaking of the skin.
Pigment changes
The device targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented cells in the hair follicle and the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless there is a risk of temporary hyper-pigmentation (increased pigment or brown discoloration) or hypo-pigmentation (whitening) to the surrounding skin. Risk of changes in skin pigmentation is higher for people with darker skin tones or heavily tanned skin. Usually discoloration or changes to skin pigment are temporary, and permanent hyper-pigmentation or hypo-pigmentation are rare.
Excessive redness and swelling
In rare cases, treated skin may become very red and swollen. This is more common in sensitive areas of the body. The redness and swelling should subside within 2 to 7 days and should be treated with frequent applications of ice. Gentle cleansing is OK, but avoid exposure to the sun.
Blisters or burns; skin wounds
It is very unusual but blister, burns or wounds to the skin may occur following a treatment. These can require a few weeks to heal, and in very rare cases, may leave a noticeable scar.
Cool the affected area and apply anti-burn cream. Wait until the area has healed completely before another treatment, and use a lower energy level.

If the skin does not return to normal within 3 days, consult your physician.

Scarring
Although very rare, scarring may occur. Usually when scarring occurs, it is in the form of a flat and white lesion on the skin (hypotrophic). However, it can be large and red (hypertrophic) or large and extend beyond the margins of the injury itself (keloid). Subsequent aesthetic treatments may be required to improve the appearance of the scar.

Infection or bruising
Infection of the skin is exceedingly rare but is still a possible risk following a skin burn or wound caused by the device.
Very rarely, the device may cause blue-purple bruising that can last 5 to 10 days. As the bruising fades, there may be a rust-brown discoloration of the skin (hyperpigmentation).

• Stop use immediately if any of these side effects are more severe.
• See your physician if the side effects do not go away within 2 to 3 days.

Get started!

Assemble the replaceable cartridge

1. For each body area, it is important to choose the correct replaceable cartridge.
2. To place the cartridge (#13), snap it onto the treatment surface window (#10). To remove the cartridge, pull it off the treatment surface window.

Connecting the device

1. Remove the device and other components from box.
2. Plug the adaptor into the adaptor socket (#9) and plug the adaptor into the electricity supply. All indicator lights (#2, #4, #5, #6) will turn on, and then go off.

Pre-treatment preparation
Remove all jewelrey on or near the treatment area before use.

1. Before treating an area, the skin should be shaved, clean, dry and free of any powders,antiperspirants or deodorants. Do not wax, pluck or tweeze the hair out.
   Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol (including perfumes, sanitizers, or other applications containing alcohol), or acetone to clean the skin before use.
   Do not use the device if the treatment surface (#10) is broken or missing.

2. Be sure to cover up moles, warts or other marks on the skin that should not be treated. Use a material that does not absorb the light such as a white cloth or white medical tape.

Do a spot test
It’s important to do a spot test on each part of the body you wish to treat. A spot test checks that the skin color is suitable for treatment, and that you know which energy level is comfortable for the area you are treating. Both skin color and energy level may vary depending on the target treatment area.

1. Press the control button (#3) to turn on the device. The automatic energy level setting indicator light (green) (#4) will go on.
2. Place the treatment surface (#10) on your skin and press the pulse button (#7) to deliver one pulse. Make sure your hand touches the base electrode (#8) together with the pulse button (#7). When the treatment surface (#10) is in full contact with the skin, the ready light / skin tone warning indicator light (#6) will start blinking green slowly.
3. If you do not experience abnormal discomfort press the control button (#3) again. This will increase the energy level by one increment.
4. Press the pulse button (#7) with your hand touching the base electrode (#8) to deliver another pulse on a different spot at energy level 2. Continue testing at increased energy levels. Use the energy levels indicated on the skin color chart. When you find the highest energy level that is comfortable for that treatment area, you can start your treatment.

Use a lower energy level if you experience discomfort. You are now ready to perform a treatment.

Treatment steps

1. Press the control button (#3). The device will turn on, the automatic energy level setting indicator light (#4) will be green, and a fan sound will start.

2. After pressing the control button (#3), the ready light /skin tone warning indicator light (#6) will be green. The device is then ready to use at the lowest energy level. Always start at energy level 1 for your first treatment.

3. Set the energy level. Press the control button (#3) repeatedly to increase the energy level until you have the level you want. The energy level indicator lights (#5) indicate the energy level setting (see section 4.6 Energy levels). The number of energy level indicator lights (#5) that are on, indicates the energy level selected.

4. Decide if you wish to treat the area by Pulsing or Gliding (see section 4.8 Pulsing and gliding).

5. Apply the treatment surface (#10) to the skin. Press the pulse button (#7). The device will first determine the color of your skin automatically. If the skin color is light enough for safe application, the device will activate the Galvanic energy. You will feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling, and you may hear a popping sound. This is completely normal. The Galvanic energy works to enlarge your pores for a better application of the treatment.
   If your hand does not touch the base electrode (#8) no Galvanic energy will be emitted.

6. Directly afterwards, the device will flash a pulse of light onto your skin, and the ready light / skin tone warning indicator light (#6) will turn off. You will see a bright flash of light and simultaneously hear a popping sound, which is a normal noise for the device. You will feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling. The device will immediately recharge for the next pulse.
   7. If you are Pulsing, repeat the process. If you are Gliding, simply continue. Continue to pulse or glide until you have treated the area fully.

Avoid gaps or overlaps.
The device will only emit repeated pulses when it is in firm contact with your skin, and you keep moving it across your skin.
Stop use immediately, if your skin blisters or burns, if you feel very uncomfortable, or if the device gets too hot.

After treatment
When you have finished your treatment session:

1. Long press the control button (#3) to switch off the device. Remember the last energy level setting you used, because it will not be restored when you turn the device on again.
2. Disconnect the adaptor from the electricity supply, then clean the device and store safely (see section 7. Cleaning, maintenance & storage.
3. After your treatment session we recommend you apply a body lotion to the treated area to help your skin recover from the treatment faster.
