Silk'n Flash&Go User Manual page 3

Flash&Go™ removes unwanted hair by selectively addressing hair pigment. Varied quantities of pigment
also exist in the surrounding tissue of skin. The quantity of pigment in a particular person' s skin, which is
manifested by their skin complexion, determines the degree of risk they are exposed to using Flash&Go™.
Treating dark skin with Flash&Go™ can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color
changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation)
DO NOT USE Flash&Go™ on naturally dark skin!
Hair
A unique Skin Color Sensor is embedded in Flash&Go™ to measure the treated skin complexion at the
beginning of each session and occasionally during the session. This Skin Color Sensor ensures that a pulse
will be emitted only on suitable skin tones.
DO NOT USE Flash&Go™ on tanned skin or after recent sun exposure!
Tanned skin, particularly following sun exposure, contains large quantities of the pigment Melanin. This
applies to all skin types and complexions, including those which don't seem to tan quickly. The presence of
large quantities of Melanin exposes the skin to higher risk when using Flash&Go™.
Using Flash&Go™ on skin that has been recently exposed to sunlight can result in adverse effects such as
burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
DO NOT USE Flash&Go™ on tanned skin or after recent sun exposure! Such
use can cause burns or skin injury.
Avoid exposure to the sun for 4 weeks before your Flash&Go™ treatment!

Skin
Never use Silk'n Flash&Go™ around or near the eyes – Flash&Go™ can be used
only from the cheekbones down.
Do not use the Flash&Go™ Device anywhere on the ears, nipples, or genitals, or
around the anus. These areas may have more sensitive skin, a darker skin
tone, and/or a greater hair density, and using the Flash&Go™ device there may
cause serious skin injury.
It is not recommended to use the Flash&Go™ device on man's face, jaw, or neck.
The hair in a man's beard area is too dense for this purpose.
The Flash&Go™ device may not be as effective on naturally white, grey, blond and red body hair.
Hair removal by lasers or intense pulse light sources can cause increased hair growth in some individuals.
Based upon currently available data, the highest risk groups for this response are females of Mediterranean,
Middle Eastern and South Asian heritage treated on the face and neck.
Although, Silk'n Flash&Go™ can be used for the treatment of facial hair, extra caution should
be used on the face to avoid the eyes.
