This applies to all skin types and complexions, including those which don’t seem to tan quickly. The presence of large quantities of Melanin exposes the skin to
higher risk of adverse effects when using Silk’n™ including burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
14. Is long-term use of Silk’n™ dangerous for my skin?
The use of light and laser energy in aesthetic medicine has been well documented for over 15 years in professional peer-reviewed journals, and by well respected
institutions like the Mayo Clinic. These journals and institutions have not reported any side-effects or damage from long-term use of light and laser device.
15. Can I use Silk’n™ to remove my chin hair or elsewhere on my face?
It is not recommended to use Silk’n™ on the face or neck. Unlike body hair, most of women’s potential facial hair remains inactive and hidden, while only a
fraction of it grows and surfaces. Exposing facial hair to the light pulses of Silk’n™ may remove apparent hair but simultaneously stimulate unwanted growth of
hidden hair. In addition, using Silk’n™ to remove facial hair may cause serious eye injury.
16. How long should I wait to treat with Silk’n™ after unprotected exposure to the sun?
One should wait 4 weeks before using Silk’n™ after unprotected exposure to the sun. However, if there is ever any uncertainty about sun exposure please
contact your physician or Home Skinovations customer support.
17. Should I do anything before using Silk’n™?
Before any Silk’n™ session it is important to avoid sun exposure on the treated area for at least four weeks. A high level UV Sun Screen (SPF 50+) will help,
as will clothing covering the treated area. The area to be treated should also be cleaned with mild soap and water, and the hairs shaved down to skin level.
18. How should I care for the treatment area after using Silk’n™?
The area treated with Silk’n™ can be cleaned and maintained with standard skin care products. Special care must be taken to avoid unprotected sun exposure.
Strong sunscreens (50+ SPF) and covering clothing are suitable for protection from the sun.
19. Should I pull the hairs out after treatment?
No, let the hairs gradually fall out on their own. This may take up to 2 weeks.
