7. Is Silk’n™ effective on white, grey or blonde hairs?
Silk’n™ works best on darker hair types, or hair that contains more melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives hair
and skin their color, and will absorb light energy. Black and dark brown respond the best, although brown and light
brown hairs will also respond but typically require more hair removal sessions. Red may show some response.
White, grey or blonde hairs usually don’t respond to Silk’n™ though some users have noted results after multiple
hair removal sessions.
8. Can I use Silk’n™ on brown or black skin?
Do not use Silk’n™ on naturally dark skin complexion! Silk’n™ removes unwanted hair by selectively addressing
hair pigment. Varied quantities of pigment also exist in the surrounding tissue of skin. The quantity of pigment in
a particular person’s skin, which is manifested by their skin complexion, determines the degree of risk they are
exposed to using Silk’n™. Treating dark skin with Silk’n™ can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and
skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
