2. Safety with Silk'n Innity

With Silk'n Innity safety comes rst. Enhanced Home Pulsed Light™ (eHPL)

technology provides superior safety with lower energy levels.

eHPL™ 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 technology combines

2 energy sources: galvanic energy and optical energy. The galvanic energy enables

better penetration of the optical energy to the hair shaft by temporarily widening

the skin pores. The hair shaft absorbs the light, deactivates the hair follicle and hair

growth is disabled.

The low energy used reduces its potential to cause harm or complications and

contributes to your overall safety.

8

EN

Infinity EU124 0037C inside ED227-20 release.indd 8 20/03/2018 09:19:41

Silk'n Innity protects your skin

Light-based hair removal is not suitable for tanned skin. Silk'n Innity comes with

a built-in skin colour sensor that is designed to measure the complexion of the

applied surface and enables energy levels according to skin complexion.

Furthermore, the treatment surface, through which pulses of light are delivered,

is recessed inside the device. This enables Silk'n Innity to protect your skin by

avoiding direct contact between the treatment surface and the skin.

Silk'n Innity protects your eyes

Silk'n Innity has a built-in safety feature for eye protection. It has been designed so

that a light pulse cannot 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 skin.

3. Get to know your Silk'n Innity

Silk'n Innity is a powerful electrical device and should be used with special

attention to safety. Before use, it is important that you read and understand

the instructions on how to use the device including after-use procedures,

and follow them strictly. We recommend you familiarise yourself with the

instructions in this manual before each treatment session.

3.3 Intended use

Silk'n Innity is intended for removal of unwanted hair. The device is also intended to

eect long term or permanent hair reduction. Permanent hair reduction is dened

as a long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing after a treatment

regime. You may use the device to remove unwanted body hair. Ideal body areas

include the underarms, bikini line, arms, legs, face (below the cheekbones), back,

shoulders and chest.

Silk'n Innity is not a medical appliance. It is intended exclusively for cosmetic

treatments. The device is only intended for private use and is not suitable for

commercial or therapeutic use.

Do not use for any purpose other than as described in this manual.

4.2 Skin colour sensor

Light-based hair removal on darker skin tones may result in adverse eects

such as burns, blisters, and skin colour changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).

Silk'n Innity 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.

aIf you see no light pulse and the ready/skin tone warning indicator light

blinks rapidly, this is an indication that your skin tone, measured by the skin

colour sensor, is too dark for safe application. Try using the device on a

dierent part of your body.

4.3 Energy levels

The energy level determines the intensity of the light pulse delivered to your

skin. As the energy level increases, so do hair removal results, as well as the risk of

possible side eects and complications.

UThe device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest),

represented by 5 energy level indicator lights.

UWhen the device is turned on, the energy level is set to level 1 automatically.

Only one energy level indicator light will be on.

UTo change the energy level, press the control button repeatedly to

increase the energy level from 1 to 5. Once at level 5, press the control

button again to reduce the energy level from 5 back to 1.

11

EN

Infinity EU124 0037C inside ED227-20 release.indd 11 20/03/2018 09:19:41

4.4 Pulsing and gliding

Pulsing is the best technique for treating specic spots or small areas.

UPress the treatment surface against your skin. Work in rows (either across

or down as shown in the image). Start at one end of each row and progress

to the other end.

UThe treatment surface creates temporary pressure marks on the treated

area so you can see areas you have treated.

UAfter each pulse, move the treatment surface to the next spot. Keep

doing this pulsing action for the area you are treating.

UAvoid gaps or overlaps as you use the device.

Gliding is the best technique for treating larger parts of the body.

Press the treatment surface rmly against your skin and slowly glide over your

skin (either across or down as shown in the image). Make sure that the treatment

surface is always touching your skin.

UAt lower energy levels, the device takes only 1-1.5 seconds to recharge

between pulses. This generates a nonstop sequence of ashes.

UGlide at a speed so that you avoid gaps or overlaps.

CDo not treat the same area of skin more than once per hair removal session.

CStop use immediately if you have any pain.

4.5 Exposure to the sun

UThe lowest energy level (1) is designed for safe use even after sun exposure.

UIf you use energy levels 2-5, avoid further exposure to the sun for 4 weeks

before and 2 weeks after your treatment. This is because higher

quantities of melanin expose the skin to greater risk when using any

method of light-based hair removal. This applies to all skin types, even

those that don’t seem to tan quickly.

12

EN

Infinity EU124 0037C inside ED227-20 release.indd 12 20/03/2018 09:19:41

UWe don’t advise it, but if you have to go out in the sun after a treatment, be

sure to apply sunscreen SPF30 or higher to the treated area. Do this for 2

weeks after a treatment.

4.6 Exposure of pulsed light to the eyes

UAlthough you can use the device to treat facial hair, take extra care to avoid

contact with the eyes, and use only below the cheekbones.

aThe device will only emit repeated pulses when it is in rm contact with your

skin, and you keep moving it across your skin.

5. What to expect with Silk'n Innity

During a Silk'n Innity treatment session it is normal to experience and feel:

UA fan noise: The cooling fan makes a noise similar to that of a hair dryer.

UA pop sound with each pulse: When a pulse of eHPL™ light is activated, it

is normal to hear a subtle pop sound simultaneously with the ash of light.

UA sensation of warmth and tingling: During each galvanic pulse

sequence it is normal to feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling from

the galvanic and light energies.

USome mild red or pink colour: During and just after your treatment

session it is not uncommon to see some very mild, pink-like colour of the

skin. This is usually most noticeable around the hairs themselves.

CStop use immediately if you see full redness of the skin, blistering or burns.

6. Possible side eects

When used according to the instructions, side eects and complications associated

with the use of Silk'n Innity are uncommon. However, every cosmetic procedure,

including those designed for home use, involves some degree of risk. Therefore, it

is important that you understand and accept the risks and complications that can

occur with pulsed light hair removal systems designed for home use.

13

EN

Infinity EU124 0037C inside ED227-20 release.indd 13 20/03/2018 09:19:41

Minor skin discomfort

Home pulsed light hair removal is generally well-tolerated. However, some users feel mild

discomfort during use. This is best described as a mild stinging sensation on the treated

skin areas. The stinging sensation may last during or after treatment.

This means that you should use the device at a lower energy level, and if that doesn't

help, you should stop using the device.

Skin redness

Your skin may become red immediately after using the device or within 24 hours.

Redness generally clears up within 24 hours.

See your doctor if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.

Make sure you use the energy level that is comfortable for you and suitable for your skin

colour.

Increased sensitivity of the skin

The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness or aking

of the skin.

Pigment changes

The device 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 hyper-pigmentation

(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 hyper-pigmentation 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

Cool the aected 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.

aStop use immediately if any of these eects are more severe.

aSee your physician if the eects do not go away within 2 to 3 days.

14

Infinity EU124 0037C inside ED227-20 release.indd 14 20/03/2018 09:19:41

7. Treatment plan

A typical full hair growth cycle may take 18-24 months. During this time multiple

Silk'n Innity treatment sessions may be required in order to achieve permanent

hair removal.

The eciency of hair removal varies from person to person according to body area,

hair colour and how the device is used.

Typical treatment plan during a full hair growth cycle:

UTreatments 1-4: Plan two weeks apart.

UTreatments 5-7: Plan four weeks apart.

UTreatments 8 +: Treat as needed, until desired results are achieved.

1. Individual response depends on hair type as well as biological factors that may

aect hair growth patterns. Some users may respond quicker or slower than the

average number of treatments.

2. One cannot expect permanent hair removal in a single or even double treatment

sessions. The duration of the resting period for hair follicles also depends on the

body area.

15

EN

Infinity EU124 0037C inside ED227-20 release.indd 15 20/03/2018 09:19:42

8. Get started!

8.1 Connect the device

1. Remove the device and other components from the box.

2. Place the adapter cable into the device and connect to the electricity

supply. All the energy level indicator lights will go on and o repeatedly

in a circular motion.

8.2 Do a spot test

It’s important to do a spot test on each part of the body you wish to treat. A spot

test checks that the skin colour is suitable for treatment, and that you know which

energy level is comfortable for the area you are treating. Both skin colour and

energy level may vary depending on the target treatment area.

1. To do a spot test, follow steps 1-5 and 7-9 in the next section.

2. Continue testing at increased energy levels until you have reached the

highest level that you feel comfortable with. If within one hour you

experience no adverse eects, you can start your full treatment at that

energy level.

3. Repeat the spot test for each area you wish to treat.

8.3 Treatment steps

1. Remove all jewellery before use.

2. Before treatment, the skin should be shaved, clean, dry and free of any

powders, antiperspirants or deodorants. Do not wax, pluck or tweeze the

hair out.

3. Be sure to cover up tattoos, moles, warts or other marks on the skin that

should not be treated. Use a material that does not absorb the light such as

a white cloth or white medical tape.

4. Press the control button. The device will turn on, the level 1 energy level

indicator light will be on, and a fan sound will start.

5. Approximately 1 second after pressing the control button, the ready/skin

tone warning indicator light (green) will turn on. The device is now ready

for you to trigger the rst pulse at the lowest energy level. Always start at

energy level 1 for your rst treatment.

6. Select the energy level you are most comfortable with.

16

EN

Infinity EU124 0037C inside ED227-20 release.indd 16 20/03/2018 09:19:42

7. Place the treatment surface on the skin and press the pulse button

to deliver one pulse. Make sure your hand touches the base electrode

together with the pulse button.

aIf you do not make hand contact with the base electrode no

galvanic treatment circulation will be emitted.

8. Press the pulse button.

yThe device rst determines the skin colour. If the skin colour is

light enough for safe application, the device will activate the

galvanic circulation. You might feel a slight tingling sensation. This

is completely normal. The galvanic treatment works to enlarge your

pores for a better application of the treatment.

yDirectly afterwards, the device will ash a pulse of light onto your

skin, and the ready/skin tone warning indicator light will turn

o. You will see a bright ash of light and simultaneously hear a

popping sound, which is a normal noise for the device. You will feel

a mild sensation of warmth and tingling. The device will immediately

recharge for the next pulse.

yAfter a few seconds the ready/skin tone warning indicator light

will turn on again and start blinking slowly when pressed against the

skin.

9. Remove the treatment surface from the treated area of skin.

10. Decide if you wish to treat the area by Gliding or Pulsing (see section “4.4

Pulsing and gliding”).

yIf you are Pulsing, place the treatment surface on an adjacent part

of your skin, and trigger a pulse.

yIf you are Gliding, hold the pulse button down continuously and

slide the device smoothly along the treated area.

11. Keep Pulsing or Gliding until you have covered the target area.

aTry to avoid gaps or overlaps.

CIf your skin blisters or burns, stop use immediately.

12. When you have completed your treatment, long press the control button,

to switch o the device. Remember the last energy setting you used

because the device always starts up at energy level 1.

13. Disconnect the adapter from the electricity supply, then clean the device

and store safely (see section “9. Cleaning and maintenance”).

17

EN

Infinity EU124 0037C inside ED227-20 release.indd 17 20/03/2018 09:19:42

14. After your treatment session we recommend you apply a body lotion to the

treated area to help your skin recover from the treatment faster.

9. Cleaning and maintenance

UUnplug the device.

UTo clean the device including the treatment surface, wipe with a clean, dry

cloth. Never use acetone or other abrasive uids, because they will damage

your device.

UAfter cleaning, we recommend you store the device in its original box and

keep it away from water.

CNever immerse the device or any of its parts in water.
