HowToUse
WARNING: Follow each step
in
the
treatment process ensuring you
complete
all aspects
of
each step
before progressing
to
the next.
Step 1: Preparing the treatment area
Remove all visible hair on the skin before using the device.
You
may use
your
preferred hair removal
method. Ensure there is no hair remaining above the surface
of
the skin as this can damage the
removable
front (9) and may cause treatment discomfort. Remove any cosmetics, lotions and cream from the
area
you wish
to
treat. Cleanse the treatment area and pat dry.
Step 2: Doing a Test Patch
Before your first treatment on each new body area, we RECOMMEND you
test
your
skin (in that
area)
for
reactions.
lhe
patch
test
area should be approximately 3 cm x 2 cm
in
size ( equivalent
to
2 flashes applied to the
skin
side by side). Follow
Step
3
to
treat the area.
Wait
24
hours following the patch test,
to
ensure your skin is suitable
for
treatment
and there is no
adverse
reaction
to
the
light
energy. If there is no reaction after 24 hours, you
may
treat
the area around the test
patch.
lhe
'patch
tested
area' should not be re-treated for at least one week.
Step 3: Treating with Silk-expert
a) First assemble
the
power supply (7) by clicking-in the pin insert (8).
(lhe
power supply
is
provided
with
a
release button (7a)
for
removing the pin insert.)
The
LED
power bars
(3)
will light up once and a
fan
will
start running. This means the device is
in
READY
mode. During operation, the device will heat up
slightly.
b) Press the treatment window (
1)
firmly against the area to be treated ensuring
both
skin tone sensors (2)
are
in
contact
with skin.
lhe
device will not operate if only one skin
tone
sensor
is in contact with
skin.
Once both skin tone sensors measure a valid skin tone, the pre-set
output
power
is displayed
on
the
LED
Power Bars
(3)
located on both sides
of
the device.
lhe
skin tone sensors measure the color
of
your skin and set the correct level
of
output
power needed.
If your skin
is
too
dark
for
treatment with Silk-expert, the skin tone sensors will
detect
this and prevent
the unit from operating.
RED
lights will be shown in the Power Bar if your skin
is
too dark.
If a valid skin tone is detected, the Power Bars will illuminate
WHITE.
