Adverse reaction
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 hyperpigmentation (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 hyperpigmentation 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
Stop use immediately! Cool the affected 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.
8. 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:
Treatments 1-4: Plan two weeks apart.
Treatments 5-7: Plan four weeks apart.
Treatments 8 +: Treat as needed, until desired results are achieved.
