1. Individual response depends on hair type as well as biological factors that may affect hair growth patterns. Some users may
respond quicker or slower than the average number of treatments.
2. One cannot expect permanent results in a single or even double treatment sessions. The duration of the resting period for hair
follicles also depends on the body area.
9. Get started!
1. Remove Silk'n Freedom HAIR REMOVAL UNIT and other components from box.
2. Verify that the DISPOSABLE LAMP CARTRIDGE is inserted properly at the tip of the device and that
it is not damaged.
3. Plug the ADAPTOR cord into the Silk'n Freedom HAIR REMOVAL UNIT socket.
4. Plug the ADAPTOR into an electrical outlet. The STAND BY INDICATOR LIGHT will turn on.
Your Silk'n Freedom is now ready to start.
Choose areas to treat that have not had recent exposure to the sun.
5. The skin of the treatment areas should be shaved, clean, dry and free of any powders, antiperspirants
or deodorants. Do not wax, pluck or tweeze the hair out. Shaving is an important step to get the
results you want!

6. Press the ON/STBY SWITCH. The POWER ON INDICATOR LIGHT (orange) will turn on and a fan
sound (similar to the sound of a hairdryer) will start and stay on for as long as the device is operated
and occasionally a few minutes after turn-off.
7. Approximately 3.5 seconds after pressing the ON/ STBY SWITCH, the READY INDICATOR LIGHT
(green) will turn on. The device is then ready for you to trigger the first pulse at the lowest energy level.
8. If this is your first treatment - Choose the energy level. Freedom offers 5 levels of energy from 1 (the
lowest) to 5 (the highest). To choose the right energy level for your first treatment, test each
treatment area separately:
Skin test
Place the TREATMENT SURFACE on the skin and press the trigger to deliver one pulse. If you
did not experience abnormal discomfort press the + button once and deliver one pulse on a
different spot at energy level 2.
Continue testing at increased energy levels until you have reached the highest level that you
feel comfortable with. If within one hour you experience no adverse effects, you can start your
full treatment at that energy level.
Repeat this test for each body part you intend to treat.
9. Set the energy level. If the energy level should be higher than the lowest, press the ENERGY LEVEL
SETTING BUTTONS using the "-" or "+" to respectively decrease or increase the energy level, until
the desired energy level is set and represented by 3 energy level indicator lights (For details see
"Energy Level" chapter inside this user manual).
10. Apply the TREATMENT SURFACE to the skin, making sure the skin is spread evenly and smoothly. As
soon as the TREATMENT SURFACE is in full contact with the skin, the READY INDICATOR LIGHT
will start blinking.
11. Press the PULSE BUTTON. The device will first determine the color of your skin. If the color of the
skin is light enough for safe application, the device will flash a pulse of light onto your skin, and the
READY INDICATOR LIGHT will turn off.
You will see a bright flash of light and simultaneously hear a subtle pop sound, which is a normal noise
for the device. You will feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling.
Silk'n Freedom will immediately recharge for the next pulse.
After 3.5 seconds the READY INDICATOR LIGHT will turn on again.
12. Remove the TREATMENT SURFACE from the treated area of skin.
13. Move the TREATMENT SURFACE to another area of skin. Use the pressure marks the device just
made on your skin to guide you for proper positioning of the next pulse, avoiding both gaps
and overlaps between pulses.
