8.4 Device sensors
Your Silk'n Motion has three sensors. for touch, movement, and colour.
Touch and Movement: The device will only emit repeated
pulses when it is in firm contact with your skin, and you keep
moving it across your skin.
Colour: Light-based hair removal on darker skin tones may
result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin colour
changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation). Your Silk'n Motion
has a skin colour sensor that detects the colour of your skin
automatically. The skin colour sensor checks your skin colour at
the start of, and occasionally during, each treatment.
M
If Silk'n Motion detects that your skin tone is dark, and the
energy level is set to 3 or higher, the device will auto-adjust
and set the energy level back to 2.
8.5 What to expect when treating with Silk'n
For many people, using Silk'n Motion may be their first experience with a
light-based device. During a treatment session it is normal to experience or
feel:
Noise: The cooling fan makes noise similar to a hair dryer. This
is normal.
A popping sound: With each flash of HPL™ light.
A sensation of warmth and tingling: During each light
pulse.
Some redness: It is not uncommon to see some very mild,
pink-like skin colouration during or just after a treatment. This is
usually most noticeable around the hairs themselves.
E
Stop use immediately if you see your skin is very red.
E
Contact your physician immediately, if you experience any complication.
