Safety with Silk’n Motion Premium

With Silk’n Motion Premium , safety comes first

Home Pulsed Light (HPL) technology in Silk’n Motion Premium provides superior safety with lower energy levels. HPL achieves long-term hair removal results at a fraction of the energy level used in other light-based hair removal equipment. The low energy reduces the risk of harm or complications and contributes to your overall safety.

Silk’n Motion Premium has additional features to protect your:

Eyes: Light pulses are only active when the treatment surface (#6) is in full contact with the skin.
Skin: Your skin is never in direct contact with the optical lens through which light pulses are emitted.

Safety tips

This section has information to help you use your device safely.

Exposure to the sun

The lowest energy level (1) is designed for safe use even after sun exposure.
If you use energy levels 2-5, 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 treatment.

Exposure of pulse 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.

Wounds or infections

Wait for the affected area to heal before further use.

Possible side effects

If you follow the instructions fully and pay attention to all warnings and contraindications, complications and side effects 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 may occur with pulsed light hair removal systems designed for home use.

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 Silk’n Motion Premium 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 an energy level that is comfortable for you and suitable for your skin color. Refer to section 7.1 Before your first treatment.

Increased sensitivity of the skin

The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness or flaking of the skin.

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

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(hypertrophic). 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.

Pigment changes

Silk’n Motion Premium 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. This risk of changes in skin pigmentation is higher for people with darker skin tones. Usually, discoloration or changes to skin pigment are temporary and hyperpigmentation or hypo-pigmentation rarely occur.

Infection

Infection of the skin is exceedingly rare but is still a possible risk following a skin burn or wound caused when using Silk’n Motion Premium.

Bruising

Very rarely, treatment 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).

Long-term hair removal the Silk’n way

The efficiency of hair removal varies from person to person according to body area, hair color, and how Silk’n Motion Premium is used. A typical full hair growth cycle may take 18- 24 months. During this time, multiple treatment sessions are required to achieve permanent hair removal.

A typical Silk’n Motion Premium hair removal plan during a full hair growth cycle includes:

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

Expected treatment outcomes

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

Silk-n-H3220-Motion-Premium-FIG 13

Skin types are based on the Fitzpatrick scale of skin colors. Refer to the skin color chart in the diagram at the front of the manual.
Not effective on white body hair.

Energy levels

The energy level determines the intensity of the light pulse delivered to your skin. As the energy level increases, so do hair removal results, as well as the risk of possible side effects and complications.
The device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest), represented by 5 energy level indicator lights (#1).
When the device is turned on, the energy level is set to level 1 automatically. Only one energy level indicator light (#1) will be on.
To change the energy level, press the control button (#4) repeatedly to increase the energy level from 1 to 5. Once at level 5, press the control button (#4) gain to reduce the energy level from 5 back to 1.

To determine the right energy level for your treatment area, refer to section 7.1 Before your first treatment.

Pulsing and gliding

$Silk-n-H3220-Motion-Premium-FIG $2$$

Pulsing is the best technique for working at higher energy levels.

Press the treatment surface (#6) 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 (#6) creates temporary pressure marks on the treated area so you can see the areas you have treated.

After each pulse, move the treatment surface (#6) to the next spot. Keep doing this pulsing action for the area you are treating.
Avoid gaps or overlaps as you use the device. Gliding is the best technique for working at lower energy levels.
Press the treatment surface (#6) 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 (#6) is always touching your skin.
At lower energy levels, the device takes only 1-1.5 seconds to recharge between pulses. This generates a nonstop sequence of flashes.
Glide at a speed so that you avoid gaps or overlaps.

Do not treat the same area of skin more than once per hair removal session.

Stop use immediately if you have any discomfort.

Device sensors

Your Silk’n Motion Premium has three sensors. for touch, movement, and color.

Touch and Movement: The device will only emit repeated pulses when it is in firm contact with your skin, and you keep moving it across 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 hypo-pigmentation). Your Silk’n Motion Premium has a skin color sensor (#5) that detects the color of your skin automatically. The skin color sensor checks your skin color at the start of, and occasionally during, each treatment.
If Silk’n Motion Premium detects that your skin tone is dark, and the energy level is set to 3 or higher, the device will auto-adjust and set the energy level back to 2.

What to expect when treating with Silk’n

For many people, using Silk’n Motion Premium may be their first experience with a light-based device. During a treatment session, it is normal to experience or feel:

Noise: The cooling fan makes a noise similar to a hair dryer.
This is normal.

A popping sound: With each flash of HPL™ light.
A sensation of warmth and tingling: During each light pulse.
Some redness: It is not uncommon to see some very mild, pink-like skin coloration during or just after a treatment. This is usually most noticeable around the hairs themselves.
Stop use immediately if you see your skin is very red.
Contact your physician immediately, if you experience any complications.

Get started

To get started:

Remove the device and other components from box.
Plug the adapter cord into the device socket (#7) and plug the adapter into an electrical outlet. All energy level indicator lights (#1) will turn on, and then go of

Before your first treatment

Remove all jewelry before use.

You must decide which energy level is right for your skin and the area you want to treat. The device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest). For example, you might treat one area at energy level 1, and another at level 4. For information on energy levels, refer to section 6.2 Energy levels.

Spot Test

To choose the right energy level, test each treatment area separately (refer to the skin color chart at the front of this manual).

Press the control button (#4) to turn on the device. The level 1 energy level indicator light (#1) will go on.
Place the treatment surface (#6) on your skin to deliver one pulse. If you did not experience abnormal discomfort after 24 hours, increase the energy level on your next test spot. To increase the energy level, remove the device from your skin and press the control button (#4) again. This will increase the energy level.
Deliver one pulse on a different spot at energy level 2. Use the energy levels indicated on the skin color chart. Wait 24 hours. If there are no adverse effects, use a different test spot and continue testing at increased energy levels to find the highest level that is comfortable for you, without adverse effects.
When you find the highest energy level that is most comfortable for that treatment area, you can start your treatment.

Use a lower energy level if you experience any discomfort. Be sure to do a spot test for each part of the body you wish to treat.

Treatments with Silk’n Motion Premium

Follow these steps each time you treat an area.

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. y Be sure to cover up moles, warts or other marks on the skin that should not be treated.
Press the control button (#4). The device will turn on, the level 1 energy indicator light (#1) will be on, and a fan sound will start.
Approximately 1 second after pressing the control button (#4), the ready light (#3) will turn on. The device is then ready to use at the lowest energy level.
Set the energy level. Press the control button (#4) repeatedly to increase the energy level until you have the level you want. The energy level indicator lights (#1) indicate the energy level setting (refer to section 6.2 Energy levels).
Decide if you wish to treat the area by Gliding or Pulsing (refer to section 6.3 Pulsing and gliding).
Apply the treatment surface (#6) to the skin. Make sure that the skin is spread evenly and smoothly. When the treatment surface (#6) is in full contact with the skin, the ready light (#3) will start blinking slowly.
The device will first determine the color of your skin automatically, and it will flash a pulse of light onto your skin. You will feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling, and you may hear a popping sound.
If you are pulsing, remove the device from your skin. The device will immediately recharge for the next pulse. After a few seconds (depending on the energy level) the ready light (#3) will turn on again, and start blinking slowly when pressed against the skin.
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.

Stop use immediately, if your skin blisters or burns.

After treatment

When you have finished your treatment session:

Turn the device off by giving the control button (#4) an extended press. Remember the last energy level setting you used, because it will not be restored when you turn the device on again.
Remove the adapter from the electrical outlet.

Maintenance

It is important to clean your Silk’n Motion Premium device after each treatment. To clean the device:

Unplug the device.
To clean the device including the treatment surface (#6), wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Never use acetone or other abrasive fluids, because they will damage your device.
After cleaning, we recommend you store the device in its original box.

Never immerse your Silk’n Motion Premium or any of its parts in water.
