7 How To Use

WARNING: Follow each step in the treatment process ensuring you complete all aspects of each step
before progressing to the next.
Step 1: Preparing the treatment area
Remove all visible hair on the skin before using the device. You may use your preferred hair removal
method. Remove any cosmetics, lotions and cream from the area you wish to treat. Cleanse the treatment
area and pat dry. To keep the treatment window clean and intact and prevent hair burns, make sure there is
no more hair remaining on the skin surface.
Step 2: Doing a Test Patch
Before your first treatment on each new body area, we RECOMMEND you test your skin (in that area) for
reactions.
The patch test area should be approximately 3 cm x 2 cm in size (equivalent to 2 flashes applied to the skin
side by side). Follow Step 3 to treat the area.
Wait 24 hours following the patch test, to ensure your skin is suitable for treatment and there is no adverse
reaction to the light energy. If there is no reaction after 24 hours, you may treat the area around the test
patch. The 'patch tested area' should not be re-treated for at least one week.
Step 3: Treating with Silk·expert Mini
a) Use the mains cord (8) to connect the base station to an electrical outlet. Press the treatment button (5)
to activate the device. The power indicator (4) will light up once and a fan will start running. This means
the device is in READY mode. During operation, the device will heat up slightly.
b) Press the treatment window (1) firmly against the area to be treated ensuring the skin tone sensor (2) is
in contact with the skin. Once the skin tone sensor measures a valid skin tone, the pre-set output power
is displayed by the power indicator light color.
If your skin is too dark for treatment with Silk·expert Mini, the skin tone sensor will detect this and
prevent the unit from operating.
RED light will be shown on the power indicator if your skin is too dark.
If a valid skin tone is detected, the power indicator will illuminate pink or white.
