Treatment methods
The area to be treated must be hair-free, clean and dry. Before pushing the treatment button, look away
from the device to avoid the bright light. In seldom cases, a user may find the flash too bright. However,
there is no safety risk associated with this. For increased comfort, we recommend treating in a well-lit
room to help reduce the perceived brightness.
GLIDING
for fast and efficient
treatment of large areas
(e.g. legs).
STAMPING
for treating small,
hard-to reach areas
(e.g. face for females,
bikini line, underarms,
knee, chin, ankles)
1. Place the treatment window firmly on your skin, ensuring both skin sensors have skin contact.
The power bars (3) show white LEDs
2.
Press and hold
the treatment button (5). The
device will begin to flash.
2.
Press and instantly release
the treatment
button (5). The device will emit a flash.
3. Move the device slowly and continuously from
the bottom to the top of the treatment area.
Make sure to always keep full skin contact so
that the device flashes continuously.
3. Lift off the device and place it onto the next
adjacent spot to be treated. Wait for the power
bars to show white LEDs. Then press and
release the treatment button.
Once the gliding stroke is completed, lift the
device off the treatment area. Repeat steps 1-3 to
treat the next adjacent area in a parallel stroke.
Continue treatment spot by spot until you have
completed the entire area you wish to treat.
Make sure you avoid missed areas by placing the treatment window directly next to the previously treated
spot without leaving any space between treated areas.
Avoid overlapping treatment or treating the same area twice as this may increase the chance of producing
adverse reactions.
If you feel intense pain, stop treatment immediately and consult your physician before using the device again.
Treatment head(s)
The standard head (10) can be used on all areas.
The wide head (11)* is efficient on large body areas.
The precision head (12)* has been specifically designed for small, curvy, hard to reach areas.
In case your Silk-expert comes with two precision heads, one of it is marked + .
This helps distinguishing the head used on the face from the one used on other body areas.
How to treat the face (females only)
•
Before treating the face, make sure you have done a patch test. Remove any visible hair and cosmetics,
lotions and creams from the area you wish to treat.
•
Before pressing the treatment button, close your eyes or look away to avoid the bright light.
Avoid treating the same area twice as this may increase the chance of producing adverse reactions.
•
When treating the upper lip area, a void contact with the lips and the nostrils. The central area below
the nostrils might be sensitive.
•
Do not use on permanent / semi-permanent lip liner on the lip margin.
•
TIP: You can press your lips together to ensure that the light does not activate on the upper lip itself.
•
Hair growth under the chin can be denser and coarser. This can sometimes lead to slight skin reddening
following a treatment. This redness is temporary and should completely disappear after 24 hours.
NOTE:
•
If redness or a burning sensation occurs and lasts for several minutes, apply a cool cloth/pad to soothe
the area.
•
If any pigment changes in the skin, e.g., lightening or darkening, are observed, stop using the device.
Seek medical advice to determine the cause which may be due to an underlying medical condition.
