Our products are designed to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. Using professional light technology, Gillette Venus Silk·expert Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a hair removal device that can be used comfortably at home.
DO NOT expose treated areas to the sun. Wait at least 7 days after treatment before exposing treated skin to direct sunlight. Your skin may be extra sensitive following IPL treatment and particularly susceptible to sunburn. Apply sunscreen (SPF 15 or greater) to the treated area or cover the treated area with suitable clothing. DO NOT use the device directly on the nipples, genitals or around the anus. These areas may have a darker skin color and/or greater hair density.
The device can only be activated (flashed) if both Skin Tone Sensors (2) detect a valid Skin Tone reading. However: DO NOT look directly into the treatment window (1) when the device has electrical power and is switched on. DO NOT attempt to activate (flash) the device towards the eye. DO NOT treat areas around the eye (eyebrows or eyelashes). ONLY attempt to activate (flash) the device when the treatment window is in good contact with the area you wish to treat.
DO NOT touch the glass filter during or directly after use. Regularly inspect the filter for damage. DO NOT use the device if the filter is cracked or missing. 3.3 Precautions 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.
In a clinical trial of 50 subjects, each subject received 12 weekly treatments. The recorded effects were: • Itchiness: Four subjects experienced mild itchiness after treatment. • Slight Redness: This was reported by 1 subject. • Mild Stinging Sensation: Five subjects reported mild discomfort following treatment. • In-growing Hair: One subject reported experiencing an in-growing hair following treatment. • Follicle Redness: One subject reported a red spot at the treatment site following treatment.
SKIN COLOR The device is intended for use on light, medium and dark skin tones up to and including skin tone V (see Skin tone chart on page 3). The device incorporates two Skin Tone Sensors that measure the color of your skin and will prevent use if your skin tone is too dark. HAIR COLOR The device is intended for use on naturally black or brown hair. It may not be as effective on white, grey, blonde or red hair.
8 Treatment Modes Depending on the area you wish to treat you can choose between Gliding mode and Precision mode: Gliding mode enables fast and efficient treatments and is recommended for large skin surface areas (e.g. legs, arms, chest and back) while Precision mode is recommended for treating sensitive or small, hard-to reach areas such as knees, shins, ankles, bikini line or underarm and face for females. The area to be treated has to be hair-free, clean and dry.
9 Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage After treatment, always switch off Silk·expert by unplugging the power supply from the device and the electrical outlet. After use, the handset, the skin tone sensors (2) and the treatment window (1) should be inspected for damage and wiped down with a dry, lint free cloth. If any marks or black spots are seen, then it is best to clean them off straight away after treatment.
