2. Safety with Silk'n BellaFlash Pro
With Silk'n BellaFlashPro,safety comes rst
Home Pulsed Light (HPL) technology in Silk'n BellaFlash Pro provides superior
safety with lower energy levels. HPL achieves long-term hair removal results at
a fraction of the energy level used in other light-based hair removal equipment.
The low energy reduces the risk of harm or complications, and contributes to
your overall safety.
Silk'n BellaFlash Pro has additional features to protect your:
UEyes: Light pulses are only active when the treatment surface is
in full contact with the skin.
USkin: Your skin is never in direct contact with the optical lens
through which light pulses are emitted.
3. Contraindications & warnings
Silk'n BellaFlash Pro is not designed for everyone.
Hair removal by lasers or intense pulsed light sources can
cause increased hair growth in some individuals. Based
upon currently available data, the highest risk groups for
this response are females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern
and South Asian heritage when used on the face and neck.
For more information visit www.silkn.com, or your local
Silk'n domain.

6. Safety tips
This section has information to help you use your device safely.
6.1 Exposure to the sun
UThe lowest energy level (1) is designed for safe use even after
sun exposure.
UIf you use energy levels 2-5, avoid further exposure to the sun
for 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after your treatment. This is
because higher quantities of melanin expose the skin to greater
risk when using any method of light-based hair removal. This
applies to all skin types, even those that don't seem to tan
quickly.
UWe don't advise it, but if you have to go out in the sun after a
treatment, be sure to apply sunscreen SPF30 or higher to the
treated area. Do this for 2 weeks after a treatment.
6.2 Exposure of pulse light to the eyes
UAlthough you can use the device to treat facial hair, take extra
care to avoid contact with the eyes, and use only below the
cheekbones.
6.3 Wounds or infections
UWait for the aected area to heal before further use.

7. Possible side eects
If you follow the instructions fully and pay attention to all warnings and
contraindications, complications and side eects are uncommon. However
every cosmetic procedure, including those designed for home use, involves
some degree of risk. Therefore, it is important that you understand and accept
the risks and complications that may occur with pulsed light hair removal
systems designed for home use.
Minor skin discomfort
Home pulsed light hair removal is generally well-tolerated. However, some
users feel mild discomfort during use. This is best described as a mild stinging
sensation on the treated skin areas. The stinging sensation may last during or
after treatment.
This means that you should use Silk'n BellaFlash Pro at a lower energy level,
and if that doesn't help, you should stop using the device.
Skin redness
Your skin may become red immediately after using the device or within 24
hours. Redness generally clears up within 24 hours.
See your doctor if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.
Make sure you use the energy level that is comfortable for you and suitable
for your skin color. Refer to section "9.1 Before your rst treatment".
Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness
or aking of the skin.
Excessive redness and swelling
In rare cases, treated skin may become very red and swollen. This is more
common in sensitive areas of the body. The redness and swelling should
subside within 2 to 7 days and should be treated with frequent applications of
ice. Gentle cleansing is OK, but avoid exposure to the sun.

Blisters or burns
Cool the aected area and apply anti-burn cream. Wait until the area has
healed completely before another treatment, and use a lower energy level.
If the skin does not return to normal within 3 days, consult your
physician.
Scarring
Although very rare, scarring may occur. Usually when scarring occurs, it is in
the form of a at and white lesion on the skin (hypotrophic). However, it can
be large and red (hypertrophic) or large and extend beyond the margins of
the injury itself (keloid). Subsequent aesthetic treatments may be required to
improve the appearance of the scar.
Pigment changes
Silk'n BellaFlash Pro targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented cells
in the hair follicle and the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless, there is a risk of
temporary hyper-pigmentation (increased pigment or brown discoloration) or
hypo-pigmentation (whitening) to the surrounding skin. This risk of changes
in skin pigmentation is higher for people with darker skin tones.
Usually discoloration or changes to skin pigment are temporary and
hyperpigmentation or hypo-pigmentation rarely occur.
Infection
Infection of the skin is exceedingly rare but is still a possible risk following a
skin burn or wound caused when using Silk'n BellaFlash Pro .
Bruising
Very rarely, treatment may cause blue-purple bruising that can last 5 to 10
days. As the bruising fades, there may be a rust-brown discoloration of the
skin (hyper-pigmentation).
