How does it work?

Braun Silk·expert works beneath the skin surface by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle, helping to
break the cycle of hair re-growth. With continued, periodic use, the light energy helps prevent unwanted
hair from reaching the skin surface.
The intelligent SensoAdapt™ skin sensors (2) continuously read your skin tone before every flash,
automatically adapting the light intensity for best efficacy and safety. This allows treatment of appropriate
skin tones, but prevents 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
discomfort/pain and adverse effects (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).
