Silk'n Home Laser Hair Removal System: |
Silk’n is an FDA-Cleared at-home intense-pulsed light hair removal system designed for long-term hair removal in the privacy of your home. While safe and effective use of laser and light has been proven in clinical use around the world for over 15 years, Silk’n utilizes highly sophisticated technology to allow consumers to bring this technology home.
Silk'n is designed to treat hair growth below the neck. The most common areas treated with Silk’n are: legs, underarms, arms and bikini line. Silk’n is not recommended for use on the face. Each treatment, which can be completed in as little as five minutes for the underarms and in 30 minutes for the lower legs, should be performed once every other week in the initial phase, and then as needed thereafter.
Home laser hair removal is gaining popularity as consumers are afforded the luxury of home hair removal in privacy. Managing and removing unwanted hair permanently is sometimes seen as a challenge by consumers. Hair removal can be achieved through a number of methods, including depilation (removing part of the hair above the skin's surface) or epilation (removing the entire hair), waxing, IPL, lasers, light therapy and beyond. For many consumers, temporary methods at regular intervals are acceptable, but many are looking for a longer term solution. |

What Is Intense-Pulsed Light Therapy? |
Light-based hair removal is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis in which optical energy is used to disable hair growth. In order to achieve such thermal effect, the hair shaft needs to selectively absorb light energy and transform it into heat. This selectivity is achieved when high optical energy that is delivered to the tissue is mostly absorbed by hair shaft pigment, while the epidermis and the surrounding tissue is actively cooled (by a cooling mechanism). Melanin is the pigment in the hair shaft that is responsible for the absorption of the light, which generates the heat that eventually disables hair growth. When hair growth is disabled, long-term hair removal is achieved. |

Silk’n is based on the patented Home Pulsed Light™ (HPL) technology which uses innovative light energy combined with unique acoustic effect for safe and effective removal of unwanted hair at home. The process of laser and light-based hair removal is well known and established. It has been proven in clinical use around the world for over 15 years as a safe and effective way to achieve long-term hair removal. |

| Is Silk'n Safe To Use? |
Silk’n has been designed with the home user's safety in mind! It has been tested and approved by top dermatologists and plastic surgeons to meet their safety standards for an at-home-use device. However, Silk’n must always be used according to the operating instructions for successful hair removal. The applicator tip of Silk’n has been designed so that a light pulse can only be emitted when the applicator is in contact with the skin. This eliminates the possibility of an accidental flash of light directly towards the user’s eyes. Silk’n also uses a very low but effective level of energy, up to 5 joules per square centimeter.
For many people, using Silk'n may be their first experience with a light-based device designed for self-treatment. Silk'n is simple to use, and treatments go by quickly. During treatment it is normal to experience:
| 1. |
A Flash of Light – The bright light of Silk'n will not harm the eyes when applied to non-facial sites, and special eye-protection is not needed when doing Silk'n treatments.
|
| 2. |
A Fan Noise – The cooling fan in Silk'n makes noise similar to a hairdryer. This is normal.
|
| 3. |
A Pop Sound with Each Pulse – When a pulse of HPL™ light is activated, it is normal to hear a subtle pop sound simultaneously with the flash of light.
|
| 4. |
Moderate Pressure of the Applicator – This is necessary and helpful for placement of adjacent pulses of light.
|
| 5. |
Sensation of Warmth and Tingling – During each pulse of light it is normal to feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling from the light energy. Remember it is important to always use low energy settings for initial treatments.
|
When used properly and according to the included instructions, most users of Silk’n report feeling a slight sensation of heat at the time of the pulse of light. Users with thicker and darker hairs may feel slightly more discomfort, but this discomfort subsides once a treatment is completed. Silk’n has five setting levels that can be adjusted according to your sensitivity level and desired result. |

Precautions: |
| 1. |
Do not use Silk’n on tanned skin or after sun exposure: Tanned skin, particularly following sun exposure, contains large quantities of the pigment Melanin. This applies to all skin types and complexions, including those which don’t seem to tan quickly. The presence of large quantities of Melanin exposes the skin to higher risk of adverse effects when using Silk’n including burns, blisters and skin color changes. You should wait at least 4 weeks after sun exposure to use Silk’n. |
| 2. |
Do not use Silk’n on naturally dark skin complexions: Silk’n removes unwanted hair by selectively addressing hair pigment. Varied quantities of pigment also exist in the surrounding tissue of skin. The quantity of pigment in a particular person’s skin, which is manifested by their skin complexion, determines the degree of risk they are exposed to using Silk’n . Treating dark skin with Silk’n can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation). |
| |
|
| 3. |
Do not use the Silk'n anywhere on the face: The Silk’n device has been designed for body treatments anywhere below the neck. The most common areas treated with Silk’n™ are: legs, underarms, arms and bikini line. Silk’n is not recommended for use on the face. |
| 4. |
Silk'n is not reccommended for use on white, grey or blonde hairs: Silk’n treatments work best on darker hair types, or hair that contains more melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives hair and skin its color, and will absorb light energy. Black and dark brown respond the best, although brown and light brown hairs will also respond but typically require more treatments. Red may show some response. White, grey or blonde hairs usually don’t respond to Silk’n treatments though some users have noted results after multiple treatments. |
