English
Using professional light technology, Braun Silk·expert Mini Intense Pulsed Non-Coherent Light (IPL) allows you to perma-
nently remove unwanted, visible hair comfortably at home. Before using the device, please read the use instructions carefully,
including all contraindications, warnings and safety information, and keep them for future reference.
This device has been designed to effect long-term hair removal by using high energy and speed intense pulse after a certain
period of treatment. Ideal body areas for use include:
Women: Legs, arms, underarms and face (below cheek bones)
CAUTION: Do not use the device near the eyes and along the forehead.
Men: Shoulders and below (chest, back, arms, stomach, legs)
CAUTION: Do not use on the face, neck or genital area.
Usage on male beards or facial hair may lead to permanent or uneven results which may produce changes
in facial characteristics that may not be desirable.
IPL is not suitable for everyone. It is most effective on light to medium skin tones and dark hair colors. Please, refer to the skin
tone and hair color chart on page 3 to see if the device is suitable for you.
Recommended ambient temperature range: 5 - 40° C

How does it work?
Braun Silk·expert Mini works beneath the skin surface by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle, helping to break the cycle of
hair regrowth. With continued, periodic use, the light energy helps prevent unwanted hair from reaching the skin surface.
The intelligent SensoAdapt™ skin sensor (2) continuously reads your skin tone before every flash, automatically adapting the
light intensity for best efficacy and safety. This allows treatment of appropriate skin tones, but prevents treatment if your skin
tone is too dark.
Scope of application: The device is intended for a single user to remove unwanted hair at home environment.
Contraindications
Do not use the device …
• if your skin is darker than skin tone V shown on the skin tone chart on page 3.
Since dark skin absorbs more light energy, treating very dark skin may cause dis-
comfort/pain and adverse effects (e.g., burns, blisters, discoloration or scarring)
and injure your skin.
• if you are pregnant, lactating, or under the age of 18 as this device has not been
tested with these individuals.
• if you have a history of skin cancer or precancerous lesions (e.g., nevi or a large
number of moles).

• if your skin has been artificially or naturally tanned recently. Your skin may be
sensitive following sun exposure and particularly susceptible to side effects of IPL
treatment (e.g. burn, blister, discolour or scar to your skin). Also, avoid unpro-
tected exposure to direct sunlight after your IPL treatment.
Certain conditions can also prohibit the use of this device.
Do not use the device if any of the following applies:
• You have a chronic medical condition.
• You have a chronic skin disease (e.g. psoriasis or vitiligo) or damaged skin (e.g.
sunburn, cuts, open wounds or active infections) in the areas you wish to treat.
• You have varicose veins in the area you wish to treat.
• You have a known sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity) or are taking medica-
tion that may make the skin more sensitive (e.g. Retin A, Accutane and/or other
topical retinoids).
• You have had a professional skin peel treatment on the area you wish to treat.
• You have any of the above, this device may injure your skin or make existing con-
ditions worse. You may experience side effects such as burns, blisters and skin
color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation) or scarring.
If you are unsure whether this device is safe for you to use, please consult your
physician or dermatologist.
If you take any kind of medication regularly and over a long period of time, please
consult your physician for any potential impact on skin sensitivity to light.
Warnings
Do not use on …
• scalp, eyebrows or anywhere near or around the eyes. Use in these areas may
permanently damage your eyes.
• a tattoo or permanent makeup in the treatment area.
• nipples, genitals or around the anus. These areas may have a darker skin color
and/or greater hair density and using the device in these areas may cause dis-
comfort/pain or injure your skin.
• dark brown or black spots such as freckles, birthmarks, moles or warts in the
treatment area.
• beard / facial hair for men.
Do not use more than once a week on the same area. Damage of skin may occur
after prolonged or repeated treatment on one site.
It is not recommended to use this device on areas where dermal fillers are present.
Eye safety
Do not look directly into the glass filter (3) or attempt to activate the device toward
the eyes. To protect the safety of your eyes and those of individuals nearby, the
treatment window (1) is provided with a safety system:
The device will only flash when the entire front surface is placed against your skin.
If at any time the device flashes when the front surface is NOT in contact with the
skin, STOP use immediately and contact your retailer.
