that you understand and accept the risks and complications that may
occur with pulsed light hair removal systems designed for home use.
Minor skin discomfort
Home pulsed light hair removal is generally well-tolerated. However, some
users feel mild discomfort during use. This is best described as a mild stinging
sensation on the treated skin areas. The stinging sensation may last during or
after treatment.
This means that you should use Silk'n Jewel at a lower energy level, and if that
doesn't help, you should stop using the device.

Skin redness
Your skin may become red immediately after using the device or within 24
hours. Redness generally clears up within 24 hours.
See your doctor if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.
Make sure you use the energy level that is comfortable for you and suitable for
your skin colour.
Increased sensitivity of the skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness or
flaking of the skin.
Pigment changes
Silk'n Jewel targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented cells in the
hair follicle and the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless there is a risk of temporary
hyperpigmentation (increased pigment or brown discolouration) or hypo-
pigmentation (whitening) to the surrounding skin. Risk of changes in skin
pigmentation is higher for people with darker skin tones or heavily tanned
skin. Usually discolouration or changes to skin pigment are temporary, and
permanent hyperpigmentation or hypo-pigmentation are rare.
Excessive redness and swelling
In rare cases, treated skin may become very red and swollen. This is more
common in sensitive areas of the body. The redness and swelling should subside
within 2 to 7 days and should be treated with frequent applications of ice. Gentle
cleansing is OK, but avoid exposure to the sun.
