THE SkIN COLOR SENSOR
Light-based hair removal on tanned skin can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and
skin colour changes (hyper or hypopigmentation).
To prevent such misuse, a unique SKIN COLOUR SENSOR in Silk’n Infinity™ measures the
treated skin complexion at the beginning of each session and occasionally during the treatment
session. If the SKIN COLOUR SENSOR detects a skin tone that is too dark for Silk’n Infinity™
application, the device will automatically stop emitting pulses.
If you see no light pulse and the READY/SKIN TONE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT is
rapidly blinking, this is an indication that your skin tone, measured by the SKIN COLOUR
SENSOR, is too dark for safe application. Try using the device on a different body part or
contact Silk’n

9.1. What to expect when treating with Silk’n Infinity™?
For many people, using Silk’n Infinity™ may be their first experience with a light-based device
designed for home use. Silk’n Infinity™ is simple to use and hair removal sessions go by quickly.
During a Silk’n Infinity™ treatment session it is normal to experience and feel:
A fan noise –
The cooling fan in Silk’n Infinity™ makes noise similar to that of a hairdryer.
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.
A sensation of warmth and tingling –
During each galvanic and pulse sequence it is normal
to feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling from the galvanic and light energies.
Some mild red or pink colour –
During and just after your Silk’n Infinity™ treatment
session it is not uncommon to see some very mild, pink-like colour 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 using Silk’n Infinity™
immediately.
