LED Hand Mask

FAQ

• What is the Silk'n LED Hand Mask?

  The Silk'n LED Hand Mask is a skin-improving beauty tool, specifically designed for the hands. It can be used to tackle a range of skin problems including fine lines and wrinkles, dry and chapped skin and pigmentation.

• Which skin problems are tackled by the four LED colours?

  Red light, 622nm: reduces fine lines and wrinkles, stimulates collagen and helps to improve blood circulation. Suitable for all skin types.
  
  Blue light, 463nm: helps to regulate oil production and improves skin texture.
  
  Yellow light, 592nm: has soothing properties, softens the skin and offers relief for dry skin.
  
  Purple light, 425nm: anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing properties to improve the vitality of the skin. Suitable for all skin types.

• How does it work?

  The LED light (red, blue, yellow or purple) is absorbed by the skin and the dermis. This triggers cellular activity, which helps to renew skin cells and repair ageing tissue. After each treatment session, the skin looks more beautiful and radiant than before.

• Is it suitable for everyone?

  It’s suitable for both men and women, for all skin types and all skin colours. This device is not designed for all skin conditions. Therefore, please read the contra-indications in the user manual in their entirety before you start your treatment.

• Is it safe?

  The Silk’n LED Hand Mask has been thoroughly tested, and the results show that it’s safe for use in a typical home environment by both men and women. Always read the user manual carefully before using the LED Hand Mask.

• Does the treatment hurt?

  No. You will only feel a mild sensation of warmth during your treatment. You may also experience some very mild pinkish colouration of the skin during and just after the treatment, which will gradually fade within a short time.

• How should I use the Silk’n LED Hand Mask?

  After you have fully charged the Silk'n LED Hand Mask, thoroughly clean and dry your hands. Make sure they are free from any dirt. Place your hand in the mask and fasten the strap around the arm. Then select one of the treatment therapies.

• Should I apply hand cream before the treatment?

  No: before the treatment your skin must be dry and free of cream. We recommend applying a hand cream after the treatment as absorption will be enhanced due to the increase in blood circulation.

• How long does a treatment take?

  In the Manual mode, one single treatment session takes 10 minutes, in which one preferred LED colour is active. The mask automatically switches off after 10 minutes.
  
  In the Auto mode, all four LED colours are active and this treatment takes 15 minutes. The mask automatically switches off after 15 minutes.
  
  Important: we advise that you treat your skin for no longer than 15 minutes per session.

• How often should I use it?

  If you are using the product for the first time, follow the schedule below:
  
  First week: use once every three days, max. 10 minutes at a time.
  
  Second week: use once every two days, max. 10 minutes at a time.
  
  Third week: use once every two days, max. 10 minutes at a time.
  
  Fourth week: use once every day, max. 10 minutes at a time.
  
  As soon as results show, adjust the frequency to once or twice per week.

• When can I expect results?

  The effect of using this product mainly depends on your skin type. Additionally, results vary from person to person. Normally you can expect results in about two to three weeks.

• Should I do anything after the treatment?

  After treatment you can apply a hand cream to nourish your skin.

• Can I sunbathe?

  Yes. Because the Silk’n LED Hand Mask is not a laser, you can sunbathe immediately before or after the treatment. However, we do recommended that you apply a hand cream with SPF protection when you are exposed to the sun owing to the general ageing effect of its UV light.

• Is there any recovery time?

  The Silk’n LED Hand Mask works in a different way from laser treatment, which means that there is no need for a recovery period. You can immediately carry on with your daily activities.

• At what age can it be used?

  This device is suitable from the age of 18.

• Am I allowed to use this device when I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

  No, you are not allowed to use this device when you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• How do I clean my mask?

  You can clean the mask by using a damp cloth or a water-based wipe. Then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.

• Can I use this device if I have dermal fillers?

  This product has not been tested on people with dermal fillers. Therefore, we cannot recommend use of this product in such cases. If one of these conditions applies to you, we advise you to speak with your physician before using the LED Hand Mask.
