1.  Does Silk’n™ really work?

Yes.  In clinical trials held by physicians, Silk’n™ was proven to safely achieve long-term hair removal results.

2.  Where on my body can I use Silk’n™?

The Silk’n™ device has been designed for body hair removal anywhere below the neck.  The most common areas treated with Silk’n™ are: legs, underarms, arms 
and bikini line. It is not recommended to use Silk’n™ on the face. Silk’n™ is not suitable for everyone. We recommend that you read all the Silk’n™ warnings 
and contraindications in this User’s Manual. 

3.  How long does a Silk’n™ treatment session take?

The time can vary depending on the area of the body treated.  A full leg can take up to 30 minutes, or two underarms could take 10 minutes.  Because Silk’n™ 
runs on regular electric power it can be used for as long as needed to complete a full hair removal session of the desired body part(s).

4.  Is Silk’n™ safe?

Silk’n™ has been designed with your safety in mind, and tested and approved by top dermatologists and plastic surgeons to meet their safety standards for a 
home-use device.  But like any skin product or electronic device, one must use according to the operating instructions and user precautions.

5.   Will Silk’n™ hurt?

When used properly most users of Silk’n™ report feeling a slight sensation of heat at the time of the pulse of light.  Users with thicker and darker hairs may 
feel slightly more discomfort, but this discomfort subsides once the hair removal session is completed.  For your convenience Silk’n™ has five setting levels that 
can be used according to your sensitivity.  

6.   How often should I use Silk’n™?

Hair removal sessions with Silk’n™ should be spaced every two weeks for the first three to four sessions.  After that hair removal sessions should be done if 
hairs have grown back, until the desired results are achieved.  

7.   Is Silk’n™ effective on white, grey or blonde hairs?

Silk’n™ works best on darker hair types, or hair that contains more melanin.  Melanin is the pigment that gives hair and skin their color, and will absorb light energy.  
Black and dark brown respond the best, although brown and light brown hairs will also respond but typically require more hair removal sessions.  Red may show 
some response.  White, grey or blonde hairs usually don’t respond to Silk’n™ though some users have noted results after multiple hair removal sessions. 

8.   Can I use Silk’n™ on brown or black skin?

Do not use Silk’n™ on naturally dark skin complexion!  Silk’n™ removes unwanted hair by selectively addressing hair pigment. Varied quantities of pigment also exist in 
the surrounding tissue of skin. The quantity of pigment in a particular person’s skin, which is manifested by their skin complexion, determines the degree of risk they are 
exposed to using Silk’n™. Treating dark skin with Silk’n™ can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).

9.   When will I see results from Silk’n™?

As with any light-based or laser hair removal device, results are not immediate, and in fact you may not think anything happened at all.  Hair may sometimes appear to 
be growing back after a hair removal session, but typically after two weeks many of these hairs will simply fall out.  Additionally hairs grow in three different stages and 
only hairs in an active growth stage will be affected by Silk’n™. This is one of the main reasons that multiple sessions are required to achieve the desired result.  

10.    Can a man use Silk’n™?

Though designed exclusively for women, Silk’n™ may be suitable for use by men.  However, hairs on men, typically those on the chest, will require more hair removal 
sessions than that of women to get the desired results.  As with women, using Silk’n™ on men’s facial hair such as beard and mustache, is not recommended. 

11.   Why is my hair growing, even though I treated it a week ago?

It is quite common for hair to appear as if it is still growing up to two weeks after a hair removal session with Silk’n™.  This process is known as “ejection” and 
at around two-weeks you’ll see that these hairs simply fall out or slide out with a slight tug.  (We don’t however recommend pulling on the hairs – just let them 
come out naturally.)  It is also possible that some hairs, due to missed application or different stages of growth, were not affected by Silk’n™.  These hairs will be 
treated in follow-up sessions, and hence the reason multiple hair removal sessions are needed to get the best result with Silk’n™.

12.   I’ve heard that some hairs grow back lighter and finer after light based hair removal?

This phenomenon is well documented amongst aestheticians and doctors using light and laser devices for hair removal.  It is possible that some hairs will grow back lighter 
and finer after hair removal with Silk’n™.  Usually these hairs are a fraction of what was originally there, and continued use may have a desirable effect on them.

13.   Why can’t I treat myself if I have an “active” suntan?

Do not use Silk’n™ on tanned skin or after sun exposure! Tanned skin and particularly following sun exposure, contains large quantities of the pigment Melanin.
