Flash & Go LUXX 125.000

Silk'n Flash&Go LUXX is a light based hair removal device. It's able to reduce unwanted hair on the body and face permanently with its HPL™ (Home Pulsed Light) technology. This technology is the home version of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) used in beauty salons.

Light energy is selectively absorbed in the hair shaft and transformed into heat. This disables hair growing cells in the hair follicle. The surrounding tissue remains at normal temperature. The procedure is safe for your skin. After each treatment, hair growth is reduced.

It is suitable for both women and men. For good results and for your own safety, it is important to understand if your hair and skin colour are suitable for treatment with this device. Please view the Hair and Skin Colour chart on our website silkn.eu. You can also find this chart on each packaging. This device is not designed for everyone's condition, therefore please read the contraindications in the user manual in its entirety before you start your treatments.

It works best on darker hair types, or hair that contains more melanin. Melanin is the pigment which gives hair and skin its colour, and it absorbs light energy. Black and dark brown hair have the best outcome, although brown and light brown hair will also respond positively. However, they typically require more hair removal sessions. Red, white, grey and blond may show some response, but may require more treatments. Please view the Hair and Skin Colour chart on our website.

In general, it can be used on the body and face, except for the eye area, nipples and genitals. For all exceptions to the rule due to (skin) conditions and/or diseases, please read the manual carefully (can be found online and in the package of the product).

Silk'n Flash&Go LUXX 125,000 has one standard cartridge containing 120,000 light pulses with a treatment area of 4 cm²: ideal for larger body areas. In the packaging you'll also find a precision cartridge with 5,000 light pulses with a treatment area of 2.5 cm². This one is ideal for smaller areas like the face and bikini line.

Silk'n Flash&Go LUXX 245,000 contains 245,000 pulses. Thus, this version contains an extra cartridge of 120,000 pulses.

An advantage of such a system is that the cartridges are replaceable.

With Silk'n safety comes first. HPL™ (Home Pulsed Light) technology is able to achieve permanent hair reduction results at a fraction of the energy level used in professional light-based hair removal equipment. The low energy used in Silk'n hair removal devices reduces its potential to cause harm or complications, and contributes to your overall safety.

Most users report no pain at all or just feeling a slight sensation of heat and tingling when a light pulse is emitted. Users with thicker and darker hairs may feel slightly more discomfort, but this discomfort subsides once the hair removal session is completed. For your convenience, this device has five energy levels that can be set according to sensitivity and tolerance. It is important that you don't treat the same area of skin more than once per hair removal session as this increases the likelihood of adverse effects.

This is a built-in safety sensor which stops the device from emitting a light pulse if your skin tone is too dark for treatment. The sensor ensures that your skin is being protected.

The time can vary depending on the area of the body that is treated. A full leg can take up to 15 minutes and one armpit can take 2 minutes. A full-body treatment with the Flash&Go Luxx will take about 26 minutes.

Typical hair removal plan during a full hair growth cycle:
Treatments 1-4 - plan two weeks apart
Treatments 5-7 - plan four weeks apart
Treatments 8 + - treat as needed, until desired results are achieved.

Maintenance: from time to time some upkeep may be needed if growth is still visible.

Make sure that your skin colour is right for treatment. If some areas of the skin are too dark (e.g. armpits or bikini line), it can be that the device will not emit a light pulse due to safety reasons. Also make sure that the treatment surface and the Skin Colour Sensor are fully attached to your skin. If the device doesn't emit a light pulse at all, it could be that the number of pulses that the cartridge contains has been used up or the cartridge is broken.

A typical full hair growth cycle may take 18-24 months. During this time multiple sessions are required in order to achieve permanent hair reduction. The duration of hair removal sessions varies per person according to their body area, hair colour and how the device is used.

As with any light-based or laser hair removal device, results are not immediate. In fact, hair may sometimes appear to be growing back after a hair removal session, but typically after two weeks many of these hairs will simply fall out. Additionally, hair grows in three different stages and only hairs in an active growth stage will be affected. Thus, hairs that are not active cannot be targeted. This is one of the main reasons why multiple sessions are required to achieve the desired result.

Yes, you can buy new standard or precision refill cartridges when needed.

Yes. For better results and product experience it is recommended to shave before and inbetween treatments. We do not recommend you to wax, because the hair shaft will be removed and therefore cannot be treated. Also, do not pluck or tweeze the hair out.

If you do not wish to shave your face, we advise you to use a trimmer or delicate depilating cream.

It is quite common for hair to appear as if it is still growing up to two weeks after a hair removal session. This process is known as 'ejection', and after about two weeks you'll see that these hairs simply fall out. Please note, do not pull out the treated hairs - just let them fall out naturally.

It is also possible that some hairs, due to missed application or different stages of growth, were not affected by previous treatments. These hairs will be treated in follow-up sessions, hence the reason multiple hair removal sessions are required to achieve the best results.

This device is suitable for adults. If you are not an adult yet, it can be used from the age of 15, but only by or under the supervision of an adult.

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

You can clean your device with a dry, clean cloth and a specially formulated cleaner for electronic equipment. Make sure you clean the treatment surface properly. Never immerse the device or any of its parts in water!

The lowest energy level (1) is designed for safe use even aftersun exposure. If you use energy levels 2-5, avoid further exposure to the sunfor 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after your treatment. This applies to all skin types, even those that don't seem to tan quickly. We don't advise it, but if you have to go out in the sun after a treatment, be sure to apply sunscreen SPF30 or higher to the treated area. Do this for 2 weeks after a treatment.

You do not necessarily need the Silk'n App; your device will also function without it. But it is very helpful. The App has a handy tool to plan your treatments in a scheduler. When it's time for your next hair removal session, the App will send you automated alerts to notify you beforehand. This way, you will never forget a session again. You can download the app on Android and iOS devices.

If you do not wish to use the App, you can use the treatment plan schedule in the user manual.
