2 How Does Silk·expert Pro3 Work?
Silk·expert Pro3 is designed to help break the cycle of hair growth. Light energy is transferred through the
skin’s surface and is absorbed by melanin present in the hair shaft. The absorbed light energy is converted
to heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle. Treated hairs naturally fall
out over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks.
What to Expect
Immediately post treatment, you should not see any significant side effects from treatment (Refer to
section 4 for more information on side effects).
In the first few weeks following the initial treatments, you will still see some hairs growing. These are likely
to be hairs that were missed during treatment i.e. they were lying dormant and not in their growth phase
(Anagen) during treatment, when IPL is most effective.
Around 6 weeks into the 12 week treatment program you should see a reduction in hair growth. However,
many hairs may still not have been treated in their growth phase. It is important to continue the weekly
treatments.
After the 12 week program, you should see a significant reduction in hairs within the treated area. Any
remaining hairs should be finer and lighter in color. Continued monthly treatments, or treatments as
required, should maintain the reduction in unwanted hair.
3 Important Safety Information
3.1 Contraindications
DO NOT use the device if you have very dark skin. The Skin Tone sensors located near
the output window of the device will determine the tone of your skin. If the Skin Tone
sensors determine your skin is too dark for safe use, operation will be prevented.
DO NOT use the device if your skin has been artificially or naturally tanned recently
or is burned from sun overexposure. Your skin may be extra sensitive following sun
exposure and particularly susceptible to burning, blistering, discoloring or scarring

5 Benefits
The device is indicated for the permanent reduction of unwanted hair.
A clinical trial was performed to assess both the safety and efficacy of the device. The key features of the
clinical trial were:
• All treatments were performed by non-medically trained operators at a single location using devices
identical to the one provided in this package;
• All subjects were required to complete questionnaires related to their general health and those who
could not be treated, e.g. those who had one or more of the contraindications as listed in Section 3 of
this User Manual were excluded. In addition, all subjects were required to provide Informed Consent as
per international clinical trial requirements;
• A total of 53 female subjects, aged between 19 and 45 years old, commenced the trial;
• Three subjects left the trial during the treatment period for personal reasons. No subjects left the trial
due to problems associated with the use of the device;
• Each subject received 12 weekly treatments to their chosen body location. A typical treatment consisted
of shaving the site then applying the device following the same process as outlined in Section 7, Step 3
of this user manual;
• Hair counts were used to measure the change in the amount of hair 6 months after the last treatment
and 12 months after the last treatment. The hairs in the treatment sites were counted via high resolution
photography and the difference in hair counts was calculated as a percentage change;
• When used as directed, the clinical trial participants showed on average 44% less hair 6 months after
their last treatment and 36% less hair 12 months after their last treatment when compared to hair counts
taken before treatment (see table below). Actual results did vary from person to person.
Number of subjects at 6 months post treatment 50
Hair reduction at 6 months post treatment 43.9 %
Number of subjects at 12 months post treatment 33
Hair reduction at 12 months post treatment 36.0 %
% of subjects met success (> 30% hair reduction) on all body areas at 12 months
post treatment. Subject success is defined as greater than 30 % hair reduction at
all treatment sites at 12 months.
66.7 %
• The incidence of side effects during the clinical trial was minimal (as outlined in Section 4 above) and the
majority of subjects (48 out of 50) would recommend the device to their friends.

USE
The device is intended for the permanent reduction in unwanted, visible hair for a single user.
BODY AREAS
Women: Legs, arms, underarms, bikini area and face (below the cheek bones)
CAUTION: Do not use the device near the eyes, along the forehead, on the lips or
nostrils. Do not use it in the genital area.
Men: Shoulders and below (chest, back, arms, stomach, legs)
CAUTION: Do not use on the face, neck or genital area.
The device is intended to be used on body hair below the neck, including arms,
underarms, bikini line, stomach and legs.
SKIN COLOR
The device is intended for use on light, medium and dark skin tones up to and including skin tone V (see
Skin tone chart on page 3). The device incorporates two Skin Tone Sensors that measure the color of your
skin and will prevent use if your skin tone is too dark.
HAIR COLOR
The device is intended for use on naturally black or brown hair. It may not be as effective on white, grey,
blonde or red hair.
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. Remove any cosmetics, lotions and cream from the area you wish to treat. Cleanse the treatment
area and pat dry. To keep the treatment window clean and intact and prevent hair burns, make sure there is
no more hair remaining on the skin surface.
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 Pro
a) Use the mains cord (8) to connect the base station to an electrical outlet. Press any button to activate
the device. 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 Pro 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
Pro, 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 SensoAdaptTM, which automatically measures the skin color, there is no
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.
Number of Power bar lights illuminated 321
Max. energy (J/cm²) 4.21 3.99 3.77
c) Press the treatment button (5). The device will flash and a warm sensation should be felt.
If you find the treatment uncomfortable, you can reduce the light intensity using the sensitive mode
button (4). The sensitive mode indicator lights up when it is activated. To deactivate it, press the
sensitive mode button again.
The power bars flash to confirm a change in the light intensity setting.
When holding the sensitive mode button (4) longer than 3 seconds, the device is deactivated.
After 10 minutes without use, the device is automatically deactivated. To re-activate, press
any button.
d) Move the treatment window to the next area to be treated and repeat. The device needs to recharge
between flashes. This will take less than a second.
e) Ensure that the entire area receives treatment, but DO NOT treat an area twice (overlapping flashes).
If the device is used in high ambient temperatures for extended treatment sessions, short pauses in
treatment may be seen to allow cooling. This is normal and operation will resume once the device is
cooled.
8 Treatment Modes
The area to be treated has to be hair-free, clean and dry. Before pressing the treatment button, look away
from the device to avoid the bright light. In seldom cases, a user may find the flash too bright, however
there is no safety risk associated with this. For increased comfort, we recommend treating in a well-lit
room to help reduce the perceived brightness.

3. Move the device slowly and continuously from the
bottom to the top of the treatment area to avoid
missing areas. Make sure to always keep full skin
contact so that the device flashes continuously.
3. Lift off the device and place it onto the next
adjacent spot to be treated. Wait for the
power bars to show white LEDs. Then press and
release the treatment button.
Once you have completed your first gliding stroke, lift
the device off the treatment area. Repeat steps 1 to
3 to treat the next adjacent area in a parallel stroke.
Continue treatment spot by spot until you have
completed the entire area you wish to treat.
Make sure to avoid missed areas by placing the treatment window directly next to the previously
treated spot without leaving any space between treated areas.
If you feel intense pain, stop treatment immediately and consult your physician before using the device again.
Treatment head(s)
The standard head (10) can be used on all areas.
The wide head (11)* is for large body areas.
The precision head (12)* has been specifically designed for small, curvy, hard to
reach areas.

Step 4: Your Treatment Schedule
For optimal results, Silk·expert should be used once a week for 12 weeks to ensure all hair follicles are
treated. After the initial treatment phase (12 treatments), we recommend the device is used once a month,
or as required, to maintain results.
Step 5: Switching Off the Device
When the treatment is finished, unplug the device. Refer to section 9 for details of how best to look after
your device.

After treatment, always unplug the device.
After use, the handset, the skin tone sensors (2) and the treatment window (1) should be inspected for
damage and wiped down with a dry, lint free cloth. If any marks or black spots are seen, then it is best to
clean them off straight away after treatment.
NEVER use water or other cleaning fluids, as these can damage the device leading to a potential safety hazard.
WARNING: The glass filter (9) can get hot during use. DO NOT touch or clean the filter for at least 5 minutes
after use to allow it to cool down.
To ensure maximum performance, keep the heads (10, 11, 12) with their built-in reflectors free from dirt,
hair or other debris. Do not clean them in water, but use a dry cloth for cleaning them carefully.
Store the device in a cool, dry place. Make sure that the treatment window and skin tone sensors are
protected from damage.
Regularly check the device (including cords) for visible signs of damage. In case of damage or cracks,
stop using the device.
 Travelling with the Device
The device will work with all commonly encountered mains supplies. Providing you have a suitable adaptor
for the mains power cable plug, the device will operate as normal.

  Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Power bars do not light up when treatment window
is placed on the skin. Make sure the device is connected to an electrical outlet. Press any button to activate it.
Ensure both skin tone sensors are in full contact
with the skin. If needed, move the device in a way
that both skin tone sensors get skin contact.
The device doesn’t work on small areas. Use the precision head (if available) on small,
hard-to-reach areas. Make sure both skin tone
sensors are in contact with the skin.
With the precision head attached, the flashing
sequence is slower. This is normal.
On the power bar, only the first LED illuminates
red. Invalid skin tone reading. Your skin is too dark. For safety reasons, the device will not flash.
Sensitive mode light is flashing. Device is deactivated. Press any button to
re-activate it.
First LED on power bars flashes red. Head 10, 11 or 12 has been taken off. Re-attach it.
The power bars show an unfamiliar pattern of one
red LED shining along with individual white LEDs. Device error. Device will not operate. Unplug and re-connect.
If error persists, contact a Braun Service Center.
All white LEDs flash. End of product lifetime. Maximum number of
flashes (300,000) has been reached.
The device is broken, cracked or appears
defective. DO NOT USE if the handle, the base station or the mains cord is damaged.

2 Comment Silk·expert Pro3 fonctionne-t-il?
Silk·expert Pro3 est conçu pour aider à arrêter la repousse des poils. La lumière est transmise à travers la
surface de la peau puis absorbée par la mélanine de la tige capillaire. La lumière ainsi absorbée est
convertie en chaleur (sous la surface de la peau), ce qui neutralise le follicule pileux. Les poils ainsi traités
tombent par eux-mêmes après quelques jours, au plus tard en 2 semaines.
À quoi s’attendre
Immédiatement après le traitement, vous ne devriez ressentir aucun effet secondaire (lire la section 4 pour
plus d’informations relatives aux effets secondaires).
Au cours des premières semaines suivant le premier traitement, les repousses continueront à apparaître.
Ces repousses sont probablement des poils qui ont échappé au traitement, c’est-à-dire qui n’étaient pas
en phase de croissance (anagène) lors du traitement, au moment où la lumière intense pulsée est la plus
efficace.
Environ à la 6esemaine du traitement de 12 semaines, vous devriez constater une réduction des
repousses. Cela dit, plusieurs poils n’auront toujours pas été traités lors de leur phase de croissance.
Il est important de poursuivre les traitements hebdomadaires.
Une fois le traitement de 12 semaines terminé, vous devriez constater une réduction importante du
nombre de poils dans la surface traitée. Les poils restants devraient être plus minces et plus pâles.
Poursuivre les traitements mensuels, ou lorsque nécessaire, devrait maintenir la réduction des poils
indésirables.
3 Informations importantes relatives à la sécurité
3.1 Contre-indications
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si votre peau est très foncée. Les détecteurs de teint
situés près de la surface d’émission de l’appareil analyseront le teint de votre peau.
Si les détecteurs de teint déterminent que votre teint est trop foncé pour une
utilisation sécuritaire, l’appareil ne fonctionnera pas.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si votre peau a été bronzée de façon artificielle ou
naturelle, ou si vous souffrez d’une surexposition au soleil. Votre peau, suite à une
90059367_ECLIPSE_PL3_NA.indd 1890059367_ECLIPSE_PL3_NA.indd 18 07.06.21 12:2107.06.21 12:21

19
exposition au soleil, pourrait être très sensible. L’utilisation de l’appareil pourrait
entraîner des brûlures cutanées, de la décoloration, de la scarification et des
boursouflures. Veuillez attendre 1 semaine après un coup de soleil ou une séance
de bronzage avant d’utiliser l’appareil. Le traitement par lumière intense pulsée
d’une peau bronzée peut entraîner de l’hyperpigmentation (assombrissement) ou
de l’hypopigmentation (éclaircissement).
NE PAS exposer au soleil les surfaces traitées. Attendez au moins 7 jours après le
traitement avant d’exposer la peau traitée au soleil. Il se peut que votre peau, suite
à un traitement à lumière intense pulsée, soit très sensible et sujette aux coups de
soleil. Appliquez un écran solaire (FPS 15 ou plus) sur la surface traitée, ou
couvrez-la à l’aide de vêtements appropriés.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil sur les mamelons, les parties génitales ou autour de
l’anus. Ces surfaces ont potentiellement un teint de peau plus foncé et/ou une
pilosité accrue. L’utilisation de l’appareil à ces endroits pourrait causer de
l’inconfort/de la douleur ou des blessures (brûlures, décoloration ou cicatrices) sur
votre peau.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous avez des antécédents de cancer de la peau ou de
lésions précancéreuses (des nævi ou de nombreux grains de beauté).
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous êtes enceinte ou en lactation. Il n’a pas été
éprouvé auprès de ces personnes.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil sur des taches brun foncé ou noires telles les taches de
naissance, les grains de beauté ou les verrues situés sur les surfaces que vous
désirez traiter. Utiliser l’appareil pourrait entraîner des blessures cutanées ou empirer
les conditions préexistantes. Vous pourriez éprouver des effets secondaires tels des
brûlures, des cloques, des cicatrices ou des changements de teint.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous souffrez de problèmes cutanés dans la surface
traitée tels le psoriasis, le vitiligo, l’eczéma, l’acné, l’herpès ou toute blessure ou
infection active.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous êtes âgé de moins de 18 ans. Cet appareil n’a pas
été éprouvé auprès de ces personnes.
NE PAS
utiliser l’appareil sur les cicatrices, les tatouages ou le maquillage permanent.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil sur la barbe, dans le cas des hommes.
3.2 Avertissements
NE PAS UTILISER cet appareil si vous êtes sensible à la lumière du soleil (photo-
sensibilité) ou si vous prenez des médicaments qui causent la photosensibilité (p. ex.,
certains antibiotiques comme la tétracycline, des AINS comme de l’ibuprofène ou
des rétinoïdes comme Accutane ou des rétinoïdes topiques comme Retin A).
Toujours vérifier si les directives de vos produits médicaux mentionnent la photo-
sensibilité parmi les effets secondaires. Le fait d’utiliser un appareil SilkExpert sur
une peau photosensible peut endommager cette dernière et causer des cloques
ou de l’enflure.
90059367_ECLIPSE_PL3_NA.indd 1990059367_ECLIPSE_PL3_NA.indd 19 07.06.21 12:2107.06.21 12:21

20
NE PAS UTILISER sur une même zone plus d’une fois par semaine. La peau
pourrait être endommagée en cas de traitement prolongé et répété sur un côté.
Il est déconseillé d’utiliser cet appareil sur des zones où des comblements
dermiques sont injectés.
Pour les femmes traitant leur visage avec le Silk·expert Pro :
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous avez subi un traitement d’exfoliation sur la surface
du visage que vous désirez traiter. Vous devriez attendre 30 jours après l’exfoliation
avant d’entamer le traitement.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous avez subi une restructuration au laser sur la surface
du visage que vous désirez traiter. Vous devriez attendre 6 mois après une
restructuration au laser avant d’entamer le traitement.
SÉCURITÉ DES YEUX
L’appareil émet des clignotements de lumière intense pulsée. Une exposition
directe pourrait être nocive pour vos yeux. Veuillez suivre attentivement les
précautions de sécurité ci-dessous.
Des lésions oculaires (pouvant potentiellement entraîner une perte de la vue) ou
cutanées pourraient survenir si les directives ne sont pas suivies. Protéger les yeux
de l’exposition. Ne pas appliquer l’appareil sur les paupières ou près des yeux.
L’appareil ne peut être activé (clignotement) que si les 2 détecteurs de teint
détectent un teint de peau valide. Cependant :
NE PAS regarder directement à l’intérieur de la fente d’émission (1) lorsque
l’appareil est alimenté et en marche.
NE PAS essayer d’activer (clignotement) l’appareil lorsqu’il est orienté vers votre œil.
NE PAS traiter la surface autour des yeux (incluant les cils et les sourcils).
Essayez d’activer (clignotement) l’appareil UNIQUEMENT lorsque la fente
d‘émission est en contact direct avec la surface que vous désirez traiter.
NOUS VOUS RECOMMANDONS de détourner le regard au moment d’appuyer
sur le bouton de traitement.
SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE ET INCENDIE
Comme avec tout appareil électrique, certaines précautions doivent être prises
pour assurer votre sécurité.
NE PAS essayer d’ouvrir l’appareil. Vous pourriez vous exposer à des pièces
électriques dangereuses.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil s’il est endommagé; par exemple, si le boîtier est fissuré,
si le câble est endommagé (vous apercevez les fils à l’intérieur), si le filtre de verre
est cassé, etc. Cela pourrait entraîner des blessures.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil près de baignoires, de douches, de lavabos ou d’autres
contenants remplis d’eau. Si l’appareil est mouillé, il ne devrait pas être utilisé.
