4.3 Energy levels
Silk'n Lipo has multiple levels of Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). This gives you
excellent control of the intensity of muscle stimulation you wish to use for each
part of the body you treat. What's more, you can change levels as often as you like
during a treatment.
UTo increase the EMS level: Short press the + button as many times as
you need to set to the EMS level that is comfortable for you. You will see
that the operating light blinks more quickly as you increase the EMS level.
UTo reduce the EMS level: Short press the - button as many times as you
need (see section "4.2 Controls and settings").
UTo set the EMS level back to zero: Long press the - button.
aYou can only change EMS levels when the treatment unit is in good
contact with your skin. When there is no contact with the skin, the EMS
drops to zero.
4.4 Wetting the electrode pads
The electrode pads are required for the EMS to work, and they must be wet
before you start your treatment.
1. Wet each electrode pad with a wet cloth or with wet ngers.
2. Then place the wet electrode pad onto the back of each treatment
unit. Make sure that it ts rmly around the center rectangle. You might
need to manipulate it slightly, so that the electrode pad lies at on top of
the treatment unit.
aIt is important that you only wet the electrode pad, and not the whole
treatment unit.

stand/charging cradle.
2. Connect the empty stand/charging cradle to the electricity supply. The
2 charging indicator lights will be constant green.
3. Place each treatment unit in the cradle so that it sits in the designated
grooves.
yWhen the treatment unit is charging, the orange battery/error
indicator light on the treatment unit will ash on and o.
yWhen fully charged the battery/error indicator light (left) will go
o, and the green operating light (middle) will be constant green.
4. Once charged, disconnect the stand/chargingcradle from the electricity
supply.
5. Treatment plan
CFor use on clean, healthy skin (see section "1. Warnings & contraindications").
UTreat the target area for 15 minutes per treatment session (see illustration).
UFor larger parts of the body, like the stomach or buttocks, you may wish to
move the treatment unit to an adjacent part of the target area, and use
for another 15 minutes. You may keep doing this until you have covered
the target area.
UTry to avoid gaps and overlaps.

6. What to expect with Silk'n Lipo
If you follow the instructions fully and pay attention to all warnings and
contraindications, complications and side eects are uncommon. However,
every energy-based device, 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.
Skin redness
You may nd some skin redness in the treated area which should disappear after the
treatment.
Muscle pain
As with all exercise, some muscle soreness may occur after a treatment but it should
go away after a day or two. If this happens, use a low EMS level for a few treatment
sessions until the soreness has gone.
Skin irritation
Although very rare, it is possible to have a prolonged reddening of the skin, or the
appearance of acne. Stop use immediately, and only treat that specic area when the
skin irritation has gone.
Lipo UM EU124 3545B inside ALL EU124 ED296-24 release.indd 15 14/08/2018 10:57:32

16
EN
Headache
Equally rare, is the possibility that you might feel light-headed when you start using
the device. If this happens, sit down during the treatment, or stop using the device
until you feel OK.
Allergic reaction
If you have an allergic reaction to the device or its accessories, stop using the device.
aStop use immediately if any of these eects are more severe.
aSee your doctor if the eects do not go away within 2 to 3 days.
7. Get started!
Treating with Silk'n Lipo is easy. Just follow these steps for each part of the body
you wish to treat.
1. Use on clean, healthy skin (see section "1. Warnings & contraindications").
2. Check that the batteries are well charged before use. If the battery/error
light is orange and blinks slowly, this indicates that the battery is low.
3. Before each treatment, wet the electrode pad with a wet cloth or with
wet ngers, and place them on each treatment unit (see section "4.4
Wetting the electrode pads"). Next, connect one or more treatmentunits
to the belt (see section "4.1 Connecting the dierent parts").
4. Disconnect one of the connectors on one side, and then place the
belt around the area you wish to treat. Then reconnect the side you just
disconnected.
5. Adjust the tightness of the belt so that the treatment unit is in good
contact with your skin, and that the belt is rm and well secured to
your body.
aIf the belt is not tight against your skin, the EMS energy may disconnect. If
that happens, tighten the belt and press the + button to reselect the EMS
energy level required.
6. Switch on.With the controls in view, press the control button on each
treatment unit.The green and orange indicator lights will go on. The
orange indicator light will go o after a second or so and the treatment
unit will vibrate once. When the treatment unit is in good contact with
the skin, the green operating light will blink slowly, and the laser energy
will start to work.

EN
7. Changing the EMS level:
yTo increase: Short press the + button as many times as you need to
set to the EMS level that is comfortable for you.The operating light
blinks more quickly as you increase the EMS level.
aIf you long press the + button, the EMS level will still only increase
by one increment.
yTo reduce: Short press the - button as many times as you need (see
section "4.2 Controls and settings").
aLong pressing the - button, sets the EMS level back to zero.
8. Treat each area for 15 minutes. Keep the treatment unit in place,
and the device on for up to 15 minutes. Every few minutes you will feel a
vibration. The vibrations are a normal part of the treatment routine. At the
end of 15 minutes, you will feel 3 vibrations, no more energy will be emitted
and the device will shut down automatically.
aTo switch o the device before 15 minutes, long press the control
button. You will feel 2 vibrations, then the device will shut down.
9. If you want to treat another area (next to the area you have just treated
or another part of your body), wet the electrode pad, and move the
treatment unit to the next location.
aTry to avoid gaps and overlaps.
aIf you move the device to another part of your body and the
treatment unit is not in good contact with the skin, the EMS level
will revert to zero. If this happens, make sure the treatment unit is
in good contact with the skin, then short press the control button
to start the device again, and then the + button to increase the EMS
level.
8. Cleaning & maintenance
8.1 Cleaning the treatment units & charging cradle
