2. Silk’n Glide™ Intended Use

3. Safety with Silk’n Glide™

Silk’n Glide™ may be used to remove unwanted body hair. Ideal body areas for Silk’n Glide™ use include the

underarms, bikini line, arms, legs, face, back, shoulders and chest.

With Silk’n Glide™ Safety Comes First.

HPL™ technology in Silk’n Glide™ - Superior safety with lower energy level:

Home Pulsed Light™ technology is able to achieve long-term hair removal results at a fraction of the energy

level used in other light-based hair removal equipment. The low energy used in Silk’n Glide™ reduces its

potential to cause harm or complications, and contributes to your overall safety.

Silk’n Glide™ protects your skin:

Light based hair removal is not suitable for naturally darker skin tones or tanned skin. Silk’n Glide™ comes

with a built-in SKIN COLOR SENSOR that is designed to measure the complexion of the applied surface

and enable application only on suitable skin complexions. This unique safety feature will not let you treat

where your skin is too dark or too tanned.

Furthermore, the 3cm² TREATMENT SURFACE through which pulses of light are delivered is recessed

inside the device. This enables Glide™ to protect your skin by avoiding direct contact between the

TREATMENT SURFACE and the skin.

Silk’n Glide™ protects your eyes:

Silk’n Glide™ has a built-in safety feature for eye protection. It has been designed so that a light pulse can not

be emitted when the TREATMENT SURFACE is facing open air. The safety feature enables treatment only

when the TREATMENT SURFACE is in contact with the tissue.

Silk’n Glide™ is intended for removal of unwanted hair. Silk’n Glide™ is also intended to eect long term,

or permanent hair reduction. Permanent hair reduction is deﬁned as a long-term stable reduction in the

number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regime.

1 hour constantly. To protect recently

treated skin when exposed to sunlight,

be sure to thoroughly apply sunscreen

SPF 30 or higher, for 2 weeks after

each hair removal session. Silk’n Glide’s
