➢Can Silk-expert Pro be used by women who are pregnant or teenagers?Īs the product has not been tested among these groups it should not be used. ➢Do I need to stay out of the sun after IPL?Īfter treatment, we recommend using sunscreen SPF 15 whenever treated areas may be exposed to the sun. The above may cause irritation, such as itching and redness, in the treated areas. This includesusing hot tubs or saunas, wearing tight-fitting clothing, using bleaching creams, perfumed products or peeling products.
Avoid any activity or skin products that may irritate your skin for 24 hours after treatment. We recommend avoiding exposure to artificial light sources, such as tanning booths or solariums. ➢How should I care for my skin after IPL? ➢How often will I have to treat to maintain the hair removal results?Īfter completing your start-up phase, you can continue to treat according to your needs. You can switch to maintenance treatments.
If you no longer see hair growing, you do not need to complete the full 12 weekly treatments. For this reason, we recommend a start-up phase of 4-12 weekly treatments to achieve optimum results.
Since only hairs in their growing phase are susceptible to treatment with light, it is important to do multiple treatments to achieve continuously smooth skin. The typical hair growth cycle varies between individuals and could take up to 18-24 months, depending on body area (underarm, lower leg and bikini area can take the most time).
We recommend doing a patch test before use. It works effectively on the upper lip, chin and jawline. It shouldn’t be used near the eyes and along the forehead. IPL is safe for use on the bikini line, but it isn’t suitable for the genital area where the skin may have a darker colour and where there is a greater hair density, which would absorb more light energy and may cause discomfort.īraun Silk-expert Pro is safe for use on the face below the cheekbones. Use on male beards or facial hair may lead to uneven results. It should not be used on the face, neck or genital area. Men can use Braun Silk-expert Pro from the shoulders down (chest, back, arms, stomach, legs). If your skin tone got darker due to artificial or natural tanning and your skin does not suffer from any irritation the Braun Silk-expert Pro device can be used as it will automatically adjust the energy level to the safest and most efficacious level and it will also tell you should your skin have become to dark for treatment. ➢Do I need to stay out of the sun before IPL?
Since dark skin contains more melanin, it could absorb more than the safe, recommended amount of light energy which may cause discomfort. ➢Why isn’t IPL suitable for darker skin tones? The device is not effective on very blonde, red, grey or white hair where the smaller amount of melanin would not absorb the light energy. It is most effective on light to medium skin tones with hair ranging from natural blonde to dark brown or black. Safety technology shared with Cyden.➢I have red hair, can I use an IPL device?
