9.1. What to Expect when treating with Silk'n Pro™?
For many people, using Silk'n Pro™ may be their first experience with a light-based device designed for home
use. Silk'n Pro™ is simple to use, and hair removal sessions go by quickly. During a Silk'n Pro™ session it is
normal to experience and feel:
A Fan Noise – The cooling fan in Silk'n Pro™ makes noise similar to a hairdryer. This is normal.
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.
Moderate Pressure of the APPLICATOR – This is necessary and helpful for placement of adjacent pulses
of light, and is part of the unique safety feature of Silk'n Pro™.
A 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 hair removal sessions. You may feel
some warmth for up to an hour after your Silk'n Pro™ session.
Some Mild Red or Pink Color – During and just after your Silk'n Pro™ 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.
However if you see full redness of the skin, blistering or burns stop use of Silk'n Pro™ immediately.
9.2. After treating with Silk'n Pro™
When Silk'n Pro™ session has been completed turn Silk'n Pro™ off by pressing the POWER ON/OFF
SWITCH. (Be sure to remember the last energy level setting you used, as it will not be restored when turning
Silk'n Pro™ on again.)
Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
After each hair removal session it is recommended that you clean your Silk'n Pro™ device, especially the
TREATMENT SURFACE (See: "Cleaning Silk'n Pro™").
After cleaning, it is recommended to store your Silk'n Pro™ device in its original box, and keep it away
from water.
Skin care following hair removal session
Do not expose treated areas of skin to the sun. Be sure to carefully protect the treated
skin with sunscreen, throughout the hair removal period and for at least 2 weeks
following the last Silk'n Pro™ session.
