Manufacturer's Description

Light-Based Hair Removal
Unlike devices which use lasers or electric wires to remove hair,
the Silk'n is unique in that it uses intense pulsed light (IPL)
energy to damage hair follicles and remove hair. IPL is a
broad-spectrum light source which is absorbed by the melanin
pigment in our skin and hair. Silk'n works by damaging the hair
follicle and triggering the hair's resting, or telogen, phase.
The Silk'n is primarily meant as a maintenance device for
patients who have had professional laser hair removal sessions.
This ensures that the hair remains gone following .
Benefits of Silk’n Hair Removal Device
Convenience & Privacy At Home: Silk’n can be used anywhere,
whenever you want, and in your complete privacy by yourself.
Proven Clinical Results: Women who participated in clinical
trials report excellent results after only 4-6 hair removing
sessions with Silk’n. In clinical studies, Silk’n achieved an
average hair reduction of 50% following three months of
bi-monthly sessions.
Safe With Minimal Discomfort: When used according to
instructions, Silk’n s are safe with minimal discomfort
compared to professional laser s or waxing.
Saves You Money: Using Silk’n will save you time and money
compared to extended use of professional laser s in
spas, waxing, or shaving.
Easy to Use: Silk’n is easy to set up and operate by yourself,
and treating yourself is simple, quick, and clean. A
Session with Silk'n
During the you press the Silk'n against the area of
skin with unwanted hair you'd like to remove. The Silk'n should
not be used on the face or neck. As you treat the area a bright
light will flash and a "popping" sound will accompany each pulse
of light. This is normal. As your hair follicles absorbed the
light you may feel a tingling pain and heat. This may be more
pronounced during the first several sessions as you have more
hair follicles. The device also has a cooling fan which makes a
noise similar to a blow dryer.
Who Can Use the Silk'n?
According to the company's website, Silk'n is not for everyone.
Patients with darker skin should not use the Silk'n as this may
cause damage to the skin. As with laser hair removal, the Silk'n
Home Pulsed Light™ technology is not as effective on light hairs
such as blonde, gray or white hairs as on dark hairs. The ideal
candidate for Silk'n would have dark hair and lighter skin.
Finally, if you still have doubts, please consult with your
Doctor!
Where on the body can Silk’n be used?
The Silk’n device has been designed for body s anywhere
below the neck. The Silk'n also should not be used on the face,
as this may cause unwanted hair growth or damage to the eyes. 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,
and may not be suitable for everyone. We recommend that you read
all the Silk’n warnings and contraindications in the manual.
What to expect during a Silk'n
For many people, using Silk’n™ may be their first experience
with a light-based device designed for self-. Silk’n™ is
simple to use, and s go by quickly. During 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™ s.
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 s.
Results
The hair removal results for each person can be varied for many
reasons. Hair color, density and location on the body all have an
impact of the ultimate result. Environment may also play a role.
Another important factor affecting you hair removal result is the
hair growth cycle, which is typically 18-24 months. During this
period multiple Silk'n s may be required in order to
achieve the best long-term hair removal result.
The company reports that "an average reduction of 50% in hair
count was seen three months after three bi-weekly s." A
quote from Dr. Tina Alster posted on their website states
"Patients who were previously treated with professional hair
removal systems used in my clinic had a chance to use Silk'n™ in
clinical trials. They reported that self- was easy,
relatively painless, and resulted in noticeable hair reduction
after each ."
