3. Safety with Silk'n Jewel
With Silk'n Jewel safety comes first
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.

4.3 Intended use
Silk'n Jewel is intended to remove unwanted hair and effect long-
term, or permanent hair reduction. Permanent hair reduction is
defined as a long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs
re-growing after a treatment regime. You may use Silk'n Jewel to
remove unwanted body hair. Ideal body areas include the
underarms, bikini line, arms, legs, face, back, shoulders and chest.
Do notuse foranypurpose otherthanasdescribed inthismanual.
4.4 Reading & storing the user manual
This user manual is based on the standards and rules in force
in the European Union. When abroad, you must also observe
country-specific guidelines and laws.
Before first use, please read this user manual in full, and keep it
for future use. We recommend you refamiliarise yourself with the
instructions before each treatment.
5. Safety tips
This section has information to help you use your device safely.
5.1 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.
Silk'n Jewel UM EU124 1258D ED459-03 release.indd 11 13/02/2019 08:58:53

ENEN
12
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.
5.2 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.
aThe device will only emit repeated pulses when it is in firm
contact with your skin, and you keep moving it across your
skin.
5.3 Wounds or infections
UWait for the affected area to heal before further use.
6. Possible side effects
If you follow the instructions fully and pay attention to all
warnings and contraindications, complications and side effects
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 Jewel at a lower energy
level, and if that doesn't help, you should stop using the device.

13
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.
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
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 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.

7. Long-term hair removal the Silk'n way
The efficiency of hair removal varies from person to person
according to body area, hair colour, 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:
UTreatments 1-4: Plan two weeks apart.
UTreatments 5-7: Plan four weeks apart.
UTreatments 8+: Treat as needed, until desired results are
achieved.
7.1 Expected treatment outcomes
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.

7.2 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 effects and
complications.
UThe device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to
5 (the highest), represented by 5 energy level indicator
lights.
UWhen the device is turned on, the energy level is set to
level 1 automatically. Only one energy level indicator
light will be on.
UTo change the energy level, press the control button
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.
aTo determine the right energy level for your treatment area,
refer to section 8.1 Before your first treatment.

7.3 Pulsing and gliding
Pulsing is the best technique for treating specific spots or
small areas.
UPress 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.
UThe treatment surface creates temporary pressure marks
on the treated area so you can see areas you have treated.
UAfter each pulse, move the treatment surface 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.
UPress the treatment surface firmly against your skin and
slowly glide over your skin (either across or down as shown
in the image). Make sure that the treatment surface 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 flashes.
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.
Silk'n Jewel UM EU124 1258D ED459-03 release.indd 16 13/02/2019 08:58:54

CStop use immediately if you have any discomfort.
7.4 The skin colour sensor
Light-based hair removal on darker skin tones may result in
adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin colour changes
(hyper- or hypo-pigmentation). Your Silk'n Jewel 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 your skin tone is too dark for safe use, the device will not
operate, and the skin colour sensor light will blink.
7.5 What to expect when treating with Silk'n
For many people, using Silk'n Jewel may be their first experience
with a light-based device. During a treatment session it is normal
to experience or feel:
UNoise: The cooling fan makes noise similar to a hair dryer.
This is normal.
UA popping sound: With each flash of HPL™ light.
UA sensation of warmth and tingling: During each light
pulse.
USome redness: It is not uncommon to see some very mild,
pink-like skin colouration during or just after a treatment.
This is usually most noticeable around the hairs themselves.
CStop use immediately if you see your skin is very red.
CContact your physician immediately, if you experience any
complication.

8. Get started
To use your Silk'n Jewel, follow these steps:
1. Remove the device and other components from box.
2. Plug the adapter plug into the device socket and plug
the adapter into an electrical outlet. All energy level
indicator lights will turn on, and then go off.
8.1 Before your first treatment
CRemove all jewellery before use.
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. For information on
energy levels, refer to section 7. 2 Energy levels.
To choose the right energy level, test each treatment area
separately (refer to the skin colour 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. Place the treatment surface on your skin to deliver one
pulse. If you do not experience abnormal discomfort press
the control button again. This will increase the energy
level. Deliver one pulse on a different spot at energy level 2.
3. Continue testing at increased energy levels. Use the energy
levels indicated on the skin colour chart. When you find the
highest energy level that is comfortable for that treatment
area, you can start your treatment.
CUse a lower energy level if you experience any discomfort.
