ENEN
2. Safety with Silk'n Jewel
With Silk'n Jewel safety comes rst
Home Pulsed Light (HPL) technology in Silk'n Jewel 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 Jewel has additional features to protect your:
Eyes: Light pulses are only active when the treatment surface is in
full contact with the skin.
Skin: Your skin is never in direct contact with the optical lens
through which the light pulses are emitted.
3. Contraindications & Warnings
Silk'n Jewel 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
The lowest energy level (1) is designed for safe use even after sun
exposure.
If 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.
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.
6.2 Exposure of pulse light to the eyes
Although you can use the device to treat facial hair, take extra
care to avoid contact with the eyes.
JJNever use around or near the eyes. The device emits infra-red (IR)
light and may cause damage. The device will only emit a pulse of
light when pressed against the skin.
6.3 Wounds or infections
Wait for the aected area to heal before further use.

9
ENEN
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.
Adverse reaction Risk
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.
Anything beyond this minor discomfort is abnormal. This
means that either you should stop using Silk'n Jewel because
you are unable to tolerate the hair removal application, or
that the energy level setting is too high.
Minor
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
treatment".
Minor
Increased Sensitivity of the Skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter
dryness or aking of the skin. Minor

10
ENEN
Adverse reaction Risk
Pigment Changes
Silk'n Jewel 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 hyperpigmentation (increased pigment or brown
discoloration) or hypo-pigmentation (whitening) to the surrounding
skin. Risk of changes in skin pigmentation is higher for people
with darker skin tones or heavily tanned skin. Usually discoloration
or changes to skin pigment are temporary, and permanent
hyperpigmentation or hypo-pigmentation are rare.
Rare
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.
Rare
Blisters or Burns
Stop use immediately! 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.
Rare
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.
Rare

Adverse reaction Risk
Pigment Changes
Silk'n Jewel targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented cells
in the hair follicle and the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless, there is
risk of temporary hyperpigmentation (increased pigment or brown
discoloration) or hypopigmentation (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 hypopigmentation rarely occur.
Rare
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 Jewel.
Rare
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 (hyperpigmentation).
Rare
8. Long-term hair removal the Silk'n way
The eciency of hair removal varies from person to person according to body
area, hair color, and how Silk'n Jewel is used. A typical full hair growth cycle may
take 18-24 months. During this time, multiple treatment sessions are required
to achieve permanent hair removal.
A typical Silk'n Jewel hair removal plan during a full hair growth cycle includes:
Treatments 1-4: Plan two weeks apart.
Treatments 5-7: Plan four weeks apart.
Treatments 8 +: Treat as needed, until desired results are achieved.

8.2 Energy Levels
The energy level determines the intensity of the light pulse delivered to your
skin. As the energy level increases, so do hair removal results, as well as the risk
of possible side eects and complications.
The device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest),
represented by 5 energy level indicator lights (#2 in the diagram).
When the device is turned on, the energy level is set to level 1 automatically.
Only one energy level indicator light will be on.

13
ENEN
To change the energy level, press the control button (#3 in the diagram)
repeatedly to increase the energy level from 1 to 5. Once at level 5, press the
control button again to reduce the energy level from 5 back to 1.
ITo determine the right energy level for your treatment area, refer
to section "9.1 Before your treatment".
8.3 Pulsing and Gliding
Pulsing is the best technique for working at higher energy levels.
Press the treatment surface against your skin. Work in rows (either across or
down as shown in the image). Start at one end of each row and progress to
the other end. The treatment surface creates temporary pressure marks on the
treated area so you can see areas you have treated. Keep doing this pulsing
action forthearea you aretreating.Avoidgapsoroverlapsbetweenareas.
JJDo not treat the same area of skin more than once per hair removal
session.
Gliding is the best technique for working at lower energy levels.
Press the device rmly against your skin and slowly glide over your skin (either
across or down as shown in the image). Make sure that the skin is always
touching the device. At lower energy levels, the device takes only 1-1.5
seconds to recharge between pulses. This generates a nonstop sequence of
ashes. Glide at a speed so that you avoid gaps or overlaps.
JJStop use immediately if your skin blisters or burns.

14
ENEN
8.4 The Skin Color Sensor
Light-based hair removal on darker skin tones may result in adverse eects
such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
Your Silk'n Jewel has a skin color sensor that detects the color of your skin
automatically (#7 in the diagram).The skin color sensor checks your skin color
at the start of, and occasionally during, each treatment.
What to expect when treating with Silk’n
For many people, using Silk'n Jewel may be their rst experience with a light-
based device. During a treatment session it is normal to experience or feel:
Noise: The cooling fan makes noise similar to a hair dryer. This is
normal.
A popping sound: With each ash of HPL™ light.
A sensation of warmth and tingling: During each light pulse.
Some redness: It is not uncommon to see some very mild, pink-
like skin coloration during or just after a treatment. This is usually
most noticeable around the hairs themselves.
JJStop use immediately if you see full redness of the skin.
JJContact your physician immediately, if you experience any
complication.
9. Get Started
To use your Silk'n Jewel, do these steps:
1. Remove the device and other components from box.
2. Plug the adapter cord into the device socket (#1 in the diagram) and
plug the adapter into an electrical outlet. All energy level indicator lights
will turn on, and then go o.

15
ENEN
9.1 Before your rst treatment
You must decide which energy level is right for your skin and the area you want
to treat. The device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest).
For example, you might treat one area at energy level 1, and another at level 4.
Spot Test
To choose the right energy level, test each treatment area separately (refer to
the skin color chart at the front of this manual).
1. Press the control button to turn on the device. The level 1 energy level
indicator light will go on.
2. Set the energy level that is right for the area you wish to treat. If your skin
is very dark, the device will set the level automatically and the skin color
sensor light will go on (#5 in the diagram).
3. Place the treatment surface (#6 in the diagram) on your skin to deliver
one pulse. If you did not experience abnormal discomfort after 24 hours,
increase the energy level on your next test spot. Press the control button
again.This will increase the energy level.
4. Deliver one pulse on a dierent spot at energy level 2. Use the energy
levels indicated on the skin color chart. Wait 24 hours. If there are
no adverse eects, use a dierent test spot and continue testing at
increased energy levels to nd the highest level that is comfortable for
you and with no adverse eects.
5. When you nd the energy level that is most comfortable for that
treatment area, you can start your treatment.
JJUse a lower energy level if you experience any discomfort. Be sure to
do a spot test for part of the body you wish to treat.
9.2 Treatments with Silk'n Jewel
Follow these steps each time you treat an area.
1. Before treating an area, the skin should be shaved, clean, dry and free
of any powders, antiperspirants or deodorants. Do not wax, pluck or
tweeze the hair out.

16
ENEN
IBe sure to cover up moles, warts or other marks on the skin that
should not be treated.
2. Press the control button. The device will turn on, the level 1 energy
indicator light will be on, and a fan sound will start.
3. Approximately 1 second after pressing the control button, the ready light
will turn on (#4 in the diagram). The device is then ready to use at the
lowest energy level.
4. Set the energy level. Press the control button repeatedly to increase
the energy level until you have the level you want. The energy level
indicator lights indicate the energy level setting (refer to section "8.2
Energy Levels").
5. Decide if you wish to treat the area by Gliding or Pulsing.
6. Apply the treatment surface to the skin (#6 in the diagram). Make sure
that the skin is spread evenly and smoothly. When the treatment surface
is in full contact with the skin, the ready light will start blinking slowly.
7. The device will rst determine the color of your skin automatically and it
will ash a pulse of light onto your skin. You will feel a mild sensation of
warmth and tingling, and you may hear a popping sound.
IIf the skin is very dark, the device will set itself to energy level 1
automatically. There will be a short delay before the pulse.
IIf you are pulsing, remove the device from your skin. If you are
gliding, simply continue.
The device will immediately recharge for the next pulse. After a few
seconds (depending on the energy level) the ready light will turn
on again, and start blinking slowly when pressed against the skin.
8. If you are pulsing, repeat the process. If you are gliding, simply continue.
9. Continue to pulse or glide until you have treated the area fully.
JJStop use immediately, if your skin blisters or burns.

17
ENEN
10. After Treatment
When you have nished your treatment session:
1. Turn the device o by giving the control button an extended press.
Remember the last energy level setting you used, because it will not be
restored when you turn the device on again.
2. Remove the adapter from the electrical outlet.
11. Maintenance
It is important to clean your Silk'n Jewel device after each treatment. To clean
the device:
Unplug the device.
