7 How To Use
WARNING: Follow each step in the treatment process ensuring you complete all aspects of each step
before progressing to the next.
Step 1: Preparing the treatment area
Remove all visible hair on the skin before using the device. You may use your preferred hair removal
method. Ensure there is no hair remaining above the surface of the skin as this can damage the removable
front (9) and may cause treatment discomfort. Cleanse the treatment area and pat dry.
Step 2: Doing a Test Patch
Before your first treatment on each new body area, we RECOMMEND you test your skin (in that area) for
reactions.
The patch test area should be approximately 3 cm x 2 cm in size (equivalent to 2 flashes applied to the skin
side by side). Follow Step 3 to treat the area.
Wait 24 hours following the patch test, to ensure your skin is suitable for treatment and there is no adverse
reaction to the light energy. If there is no reaction after 24 hours, you may treat the area around the test
patch. The 'patch tested area' should not be re-treated for at least one week.
Step 3: Treating with Silk·expert
a) Plug the mains cord (8) into an electrical outlet. Plug the power supply (7) into the power socket (6).
The LED power bars (3) will light up once and a fan will start running. This means the device is in READY
mode. During operation, the device will heat up slightly.
b) Press the treatment window (1) firmly against the area to be treated ensuring both skin tone sensors (2)
are in contact with skin. The device will not operate if only one skin tone sensor is in contact with skin.
Once both skin tone sensors measure a valid skin tone, the pre-set output power is displayed on the
LED Power Bars (3) located on both sides of the device.
Silk-expert uses skin tone sensors that continuously measure the color (tone) of your skin and
automatically set the correct level of output power needed based on the measured skin tone. This is not
related to the Fitzpatrick skin tone classification.
If your skin is too dark for treatment with Silk·expert, the skin tone sensors will detect this and prevent
the unit from operating.
RED lights will be shown in the Power Bar if your skin is too dark.
If a valid skin tone is detected, the Power Bars will illuminate WHITE.
Thanks to the built-in, intelligent SensoAdapt
need for the user to make any manual adjustment for skin tone. The skin tone chart on page 3 is displayed
also on the sales box as a guidance to potential purchasers to determine if the device will work on their
skin colouration. This does not relate to the Fitzpatrick scale, it is simply a color guide.
