Side effects and complications
Some patients may experience pigmentation changes resulting from treating with Silk’n™. These effects, if they occur, are
generally mild and transient.
In case you experience any complication (See section 2.6 Possible Side Effects using Silk’n™) please contact your
physician immediately.
5. Maintenance of Silk’n™
5.1. Cleaning Silk’n™
After each hair removal session, it is recommended to clean your Silk’n™ device, and especially the ApplicAtor tip.
Unplug Silk’n™ before cleaning.
Use a dry, clean cloth and a specially formulated cleaner for electronic equipment to gently wipe Silk’n™ surface, and especially the ApplicAtor tip.
Never immerse Silk’n™ or any of its parts in water!
5.2. Replacing the lAmp cArtridge
The Silk’n™ disposAble lAmp cArtridge can fire 750 light pulses that would typically cover 2 Legs, Arms, Under arms, and Bikini line. Pulse intensity is determined
only according to the energy level setting of the device. There is no decrease of energy during the usable lifetime of the lAmp cArtridge.
When a disposAble lAmp cArtridge has reached 90% of its possible lifetime the cArtridge 90% UsAge indic Ator light on the control pAnel will be activated, indicating
that the disposAble lAmp cArtridge should soon be replaced.
Once all 750 pulses in a disposAble lAmp cArtridge have been used the cArtridge 100% UsAge indicAtor light will be activated, indicating that further pulses can
not be emitted.
In order to continue the hair removal session, it will now be necessary to replace the disposAble lAmp cArtridge.
To replace a disposAble lAmp cArtridge:
1. Press the power on/off switch to turn Silk’n™ off.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Grasp the used disposAble lAmp cArtridge on both sides,
pull it out of the socket and discard with normal trash.
4. Unwrap a new disposAble lAmp cArtridge.
5. Line up the holes in the ApplicAtor socket with the metal and
plastic hinges in the new disposAble lAmp cArtridge,
and push it gently into place.
If correctly installed, the disposAble lAmp cArtridge will spring back when pushed in and released.
Note: A disposAble lAmp cArtridge should also be replaced if large spots appear inside it or if its lens is broken.
