Possible results
Treating dark skin with Silk'n
Glide™ can result in adverse effects
such as redness and skin discomfort
Not Safe!
Treating with Silk'n Glide™ energy
levels 2-5 before or after any sun ex-
posure can result in adverse effects
such as redness and skin discomfort.
Tanned skin particularly following sun
exposure, contains large quantities of
the pigment Melanin.
This applies to all skin types and com-
plexions, including those which don't
seem to tan quickly. The presence of
large quantities of Melanin exposes
the skin to higher risk when using any
method of light based hair removal.
Safety Tip
A unique SKIN COLOR SENSOR
is embedded in Silk'n Glide™ to
measure the treated skin complexion
at the beginning of each session and
occasionally during the session. The
SKIN COLOR SENSOR ensures that
pulses will only be emitted on suitable
skin tones.
If you are using any energy level higher
than the lowest, avoid exposure to the
sun for 4 weeks before and 2 weeks
after your Silk'n Glide™ treatment!
Sun exposure includes unprotected
exposure to direct sunlight of over 15
minutes continuously, or unprotected
exposure to diffused sunlight of over 1
hour continuously. To protect recently
treated skin when exposed to sunlight,
be sure to thoroughly apply sunscreen
SPF 30 or higher, for 2 weeks after
each hair removal session. Silk'n Glide' s
lowest energy level (1) is designed
especially for safe use even after sun
exposure. After sun exposure you
may continue using Silk'n Glide™, but
only at the lowest energy level.
