FAQs
How often should I use the Silk'n Motion IPL?

Is HPL technology safe for home use?

Will this device remove all types of hair?

Do I need to shave before using the IPL?

Can men use the Silk'n Motion IPL?

Troubleshooting
Device does not activate
Ensure the device is properly plugged in. Verify that the treatment window is in full contact with the skin. Check if the skin tone sensor has registered a suitable skin tone.
Skin irritation or redness after treatment
Reduce the intensity level for subsequent treatments. Ensure you are not treating overly sensitive areas. Avoid sun exposure immediately after treatment. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Device feels hot during use
This is normal for short periods. Allow the device to cool down for a few minutes if it feels excessively hot. Do not cover the ventilation openings during use.
Hair is still growing after several treatments
Ensure you are following the recommended treatment schedule and intensity levels. Results can take time and vary by individual. Check that the correct attachment is being used for the treatment area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, ensure the device is plugged into a power source. Select the appropriate attachment for the area you wish to treat. Choose the desired intensity level by pressing the intensity button, starting with a lower setting if you have sensitive skin. Ensure the skin area is clean, dry, and free of any lotions or makeup.
Compatibility: The Silk'n Motion IPL is designed for use on a range of skin tones. However, it is most effective on darker hair colors and lighter skin tones. It is not recommended for use on very dark skin or hair that is very light blonde, red, grey, or white due to the way the HPL technology targets melanin.
Care: After each use, unplug the device and wipe the treatment window and attachments with a soft, dry cloth. Never immerse the device in water or use harsh cleaning agents. Store the device in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case.
