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. |
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™ treatments may be required in order to achieve the best long-term hair removal result.
