How does it work?
Braun Silk·expert Mini works beneath the skin surface by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle, helping to break the cycle of
hair regrowth. With continued, periodic use, the light energy helps prevent unwanted hair from reaching the skin surface.
The intelligent Skin tone sensor (2) continuously reads your skin tone before every fl ash to allow safe treatment of appropri-
ate skin tones only while preventing treatment if your skin tone is too dark.
Contraindications
Do not use the device ...
• if your skin is darker than skin tone V shown on the skin tone chart on page 3.
Since dark skin absorbs more light energy, treating very dark skin may cause dis-
comfort/pain and adverse eff ects (e.g., burns, blisters, discoloration or scarring)
and injure your skin.
• if you are pregnant, lactating, or under the age of 18 as this device has not been
tested with these individuals.
• if you have a history of skin cancer or precancerous lesions (e.g., nevi or a large
number of moles).
