3. Safety with Silk'n Innity
With Silk'n Innity safety comes rst. Enhanced Home Pulsed Light™ (eHPL)
technology provides superior safety with lower energy levels.
eHPL™ is able to achieve long-term hair removal results at a fraction of the energy
level used in other light-based hair removal equipment.The technology combines
2 energy sources: galvanic energy and optical energy. The galvanic energy enables
better penetration of the optical energy to the hair shaft by temporarily widening
the skin pores. The hair shaft absorbs the light, deactivates the hair follicle and hair
growth is disabled.
The low energy used reduces its potential to cause harm or complications and
contributes to your overall safety.
Silk'n Innity protects your skin
Light-based hair removal is not suitable for tanned skin. Silk'n Innity comes with
a built-in skin colour sensor that is designed to measure the complexion of the
applied surface and enables energy levels according to skin complexion.
Furthermore, the treatment surface, through which pulses of light are delivered,
is recessed inside the device. This enables Silk'n Innity to protect your skin by
avoiding direct contact between the treatment surface and the skin.
Silk'n Innity protects your eyes
Silk'n Innity has a built-in safety feature for eye protection. It has been designed so
that a light pulse cannot be emitted when the treatment surface is facing open air.
The safety feature enables treatment only when the treatment surface is in contact
with the skin.

Silk'n Innity is intended for removal of unwanted hair. The device is also intended to
eect long term or permanent hair reduction. Permanent hair reduction is dened
as a long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing after a treatment
regime. You may use the device to remove unwanted body hair. Ideal body areas
include the underarms, bikini line, arms, legs, face (below the cheekbones), back,
shoulders and chest.
11
EN

Silk'n Innity is not a medical appliance. It is intended exclusively for cosmetic
treatments. The device is only intended for private use and is not suitable for
commercial or therapeutic use.
Do not use for any purpose other than as described in this manual.

5.2 Skin colour sensor
Light-based hair removal on darker skin tones may result in adverse eects
such as burns, blisters, and skin colour changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
Silk'n Innity has a skin colour sensor that detects the colour of your skin
automatically. The skin colour sensor checks your skin colour at the start of, and
occasionally during, each treatment.
aIf you see no light pulse and the ready/skin tone warning indicator light
(#7) blinks rapidly, this is an indication that your skin tone, measured by the
skin colour sensor, is too dark for safe application. Try using the device on a
dierent part of your body.
5.3 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.
UThe device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest),
represented by 5 energy level indicator lights (#5).
UWhen the device is turned on, the energy level is set to level 1 automatically.
Only one energy level indicator light (#5) will be on.
UTo change the energy level, press the control button (#6) repeatedly to
increase the energy level from 1 to 5. Once at level 5, press the control
button (#6) again to reduce the energy level from 5 back to 1.
5.4 Pulsing and gliding
Pulsing is the best technique for treating specic spots or small areas.
UPress the treatment surface (#2) 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.
UThe treatment surface (#2) creates temporary pressure marks on the
treated area so you can see areas you have treated.
13
EN

UAfter each pulse, move the treatment surface (#2) to the next spot. Keep
doing this pulsing action for the area you are treating.
UAvoid gaps or overlaps as you use the device.
Gliding is the best technique for treating larger parts of the body.
Press the treatment surface (#2) rmly against your skin and slowly glide over your
skin (either across or down as shown in the image). Make sure that the treatment
surface (#2) is always touching your skin.
UAt lower energy levels, the device takes only 1-1.5 seconds to recharge
between pulses. This generates a nonstop sequence of ashes.
UGlide at a speed so that you avoid gaps or overlaps.
CDo not treat the same area of skin more than once per hair removal session.
CStop use immediately if you have any pain.
5.5 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.
5.6 Exposure of pulsed 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.
aThe device will only emit repeated pulses when it is in rm contact with your
skin, and you keep moving it across your skin.

6. What to expect with Silk'n Innity
During a Silk'n Innity treatment session it is normal to experience and feel:
UA fan noise: The cooling fan makes a noise similar to that of a hair dryer.
UA pop sound with each pulse: When a pulse of eHPL™ light is activated, it
is normal to hear a subtle pop sound simultaneously with the ash of light.
UA sensation of warmth and tingling: During each galvanic pulse
sequence it is normal to feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling from
the galvanic and light energies.
USome mild red or pink colour: During and just after your treatment
session it is not uncommon to see some very mild, pink-like colour of the
skin. This is usually most noticeable around the hairs themselves.
CStop use immediately if you see full redness of the skin, blistering or burns.
7. Possible side eects
When used according to the instructions, side eects and complications associated
with the use of Silk'n Innity 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 can
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 the device 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
colour.
15
EN

Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness or aking
of the skin.
Pigment changes
The device 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 discolouration) 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 discolouration or changes to skin pigment are
temporary, and permanent hyper-pigmentation or hypo-pigmentation are 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.
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.
aStop use immediately if any of these effects are more severe.
aSee your physician if the eects do not go away within 2 to 3 days.
8. Treatment plan
A typical full hair growth cycle may take 18-24 months. During this time multiple
Silk'n Innity treatment sessions may be required in order to achieve permanent
hair removal.
The eciency of hair removal varies from person to person according to body area,
hair colour and how the device is used.
Typical treatment plan during a full hair growth cycle:
UTreatments 1-4: Plan two weeks apart.
UTreatments 5-7: Plan four weeks apart.
UTreatments 8 +: Treat as needed, until desired results are achieved.

1. Individual response depends on hair type as well as biological factors that
may affect hair growth patterns. Some users may respond quicker or slower
than the average number of treatments.
2. One cannot expect permanent hair removal in a single or even double
treatment sessions. The duration of the resting period for hair follicles also
depends on the body area.

EN

9. Get started!
9.1 Connect the device
1. Remove the device and other components from the box.
2. Place the adapter into the socket (#10) and connect to the electricity
supply. All the energy level indicator lights (#5) will go on and o repeatedly
in a circular motion.
9.2 Do a spot test
It’s important to do a spot test on each part of the body you wish to treat. A spot
test checks that the skin colour is suitable for treatment, and that you know which
energy level is comfortable for the area you are treating. Both skin colour and
energy level may vary depending on the target treatment area.
1. To do a spot test, follow steps 1-5 and 7-9 in the next section.
2. Continue testing at increased energy levels until you have reached the
highest level that you feel comfortable with. If within one hour you
experience no adverse eects, you can start your full treatment at that
energy level.
3. Repeat the spot test for each area you wish to treat.
9.3 Treatment steps
1. Remove all jewellery before use.
2. Before treatment, the skin should be shaved, clean, dry and free of any
powders, antiperspirants or deodorants. Do not wax, pluck or tweeze
the hair out.
3. Be sure to cover up tattoos, moles, warts or other marks on the skin that
should not be treated. Use a material that does not absorb the light such as
a white cloth or white medical tape.
4. Press the control button (#6). The device will turn on, the level 1 energy
level indicator light (#5) will be on, and a fan sound will start.
5. Approximately 1 second after pressing the control button, the ready/skin
tone warning indicator light (#7) (green) will turn on. The device is now
ready for you to trigger the rst pulse at the lowest energy level. Always
start at energy level 1 for your rst treatment.
6. Select the energy level you are most comfortable with.
