How does it work?

Silk’n use a patented hair removal technology called HPL (Home Pulsed Light). It combines optical light energy and galvanic energy to permanently stunt hair regrowth.

Optical light energy is directed into the skin, which is then absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft. This is then transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle so it no longer grows back. It’s completely painless and leaves the skin surrounding it completely unaffected so it’s non-invasive too.

The additional galvanic energy works to target deep-rooted or stubborn hairs more a more powerful hair removal treatment.

Treatment plan

With all hair removal devices, you need to use them regularly in the initial stages to ensure all hair follicles are treated. This is because your hair grows in different phases, and permanent hair reduction treatments are only effective in certain stages of hair growth.

Silk’n recommend the following treatment plan:

Treatments 1-4: Two weeks apart.

Treatments 5-7: Four weeks apart.

Treatments 8+: Treat as and when needed until the desired results are achieved.

How to use

Step 1: Ensure all jewellery is removed before use.

Step 2: Shave the treatment area before using the device. Then ensure it is free from any products.

Step 3: Cover up any tattoos, freckles or moles with a material that does not absorb light.

Step 4: Turn the device on.

Step 5: Select your energy level.

Step 6: Select glide or pulse mode.

Step 7: Treat all desired areas of your body.

Step 8: Apply moisturiser to treatment area.

Who Can Use Silk'n?

Silk'n Infinity 400,000 is suitable for those with skin type I to V according to the Fitzpatrick Scale. It is not suitable for use on white, grey or red hair.

Since grey and white hair do not contain enough or any melanin, IPL treatment will never work on these hair colours. Red hair contains a different type of melanin, which is also not responsive to IPL.

Silk'n Infinity 400,000 is also not suitable for very dark skin tones (VI on the Fitzpatrick Scale), as it can cause skin damage. It has a unique built-in Skin Colour Sensor, which stops the device from emitting a strong light pulse if your skin tone is too dark. The clever safety mechanism means that light can only emit upon contact to your skin.
