What To Expect When Treating With Flash&Go - Silk'n Flash&Go User Manual

GLIDING
Alternatively, if you choose the Gliding method, hold the PULSE TRIGGER down continuously, and
slide the device smoothly along the treated area. Please note that this method is best applied when
working with low energy pulses. This way, the device takes only 1-1.5 seconds to recharge between
pulses and provides a nonstop sequence of flashes.
In both methods of treatment you are cautioned not to treat the same area of skin more than once
per hair removal session! Treating the same area of skin more than once per session increases the
likelihood of adverse effects.
Gliding should be applied while holding the PULSE TRIGGER down continuously, and using a light
sliding motion, smoothly moving the device along the treated area. The treatment is then
administered quickly and more efficiently. Even though Gliding is usually done using low energy
pulses for fast recharge, it is still essential to control skin coverage and avoid double treatments.
When applied to the skin, the Flash&Go™ TREATMENT SURFACE is designed to create temporary
pressure marks on the treated area. These visible marks can be used for proper positioning of the
device for treatment sessions.
If your skin blisters or burns, STOP USE IMMEDIATELY!
10.3. What to Expect when treating with Flash&Go™?
For many people, using Flash&Go™ may be their first experience with a light-based device designed for home
use. Flash&Go™ is simple to use, and hair removal sessions go by quickly. During a Flash&Go™ session it is
normal to experience and feel:
A Flash of Light – The bright light of Flash&Go™ will not harm the eyes when applied to non-facial sites,
and special eye-protection is not needed when using Flash&Go™.
A Fan Noise – The cooling fan in Flash&Go™ sounds similar to a hairdryer. This is normal.
A Pop Sound with Each Pulse – When a pulse of HPL™ light is activated, it is normal to hear a subtle pop
sound simultaneously with the flash of light.
Moderate Pressure of the Treatment area – This is necessary and helpful for placement of adjacent pulses
of light, and is part of the unique safety features of Flash&Go™.
A Sensation of Warmth and Tingling – During each pulse of light, it is normal to feel a mild sensation of
warmth and tingling from the light energy. Remember it is important to always use low energy settings for
initial hair removal sessions. You may feel some warmth for up to an hour after your Flash&Go™ session.
Some Mild Red or Pink Color – During and just after your Flash&Go™ session it is not uncommon to
see some very mild, pink-like color of the skin. This is usually most noticeable around the hairs themselves.
However if you see full redness of the skin, blistering or burns, stop use of Flash&Go™ immediately.

Skin care following hair removal session
