FaceTite Mini

FAQ

• What is Silk’n FaceTite Mini?

  Silk’n FaceTite Mini is a anti-aging device that works with HT™ (Home Tightening) technology to reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin. It repairs the skin’s own collagen and elastin fibres and strengthens its deeper layers from the inside out.

• How does it work?

  The HT™ technology penetrates the skin, seeks out the damaged tissue and repairs it. The warmth exuded by the device stimulates the skin’s renewing properties. Collagen and elastin fibres contract and the skin repairs itself from the inside. On the outside, the skin is visibly more beautiful after each session; it looks younger and is noticeably tighter.

• È adatto a tutti?

  Adatto per donne e uomini, per tutti i tipi di pelle e di carnagione. Questo dispositivo non è adatto a tutte le condizioni personali, pertanto è indispensabile leggere attentamente le controindicazioni nel manuale d’uso prima di iniziare i trattamenti.

• On which areas can it be used?

  You can treat the following parts of the face: lines between eyebrows, crow's feet, fine lines under the eyes, wrinkles around the mouth, nasolabial folds & tear trough.

• Is it safe?

  Silk’n FaceTite Mini has been thoroughly tested with the conclusion that it is safe to use in a typical home environment by both men and women. The sessions are effective and the skin immediately feels tighter. Always read the manual carefully before using FaceTite Mini.

• Does the session hurt?

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

• How should I use Silk’n FaceTite Mini?

  For your first session, you have to determine which FaceTite Mini energy level is right for you. Spread a thin layer of Slider Gel (included) over the area you intend to treat. Start at energy level 1 for 5 minutes and raise the energy level gradually in order to find the highest energy level that you are still comfortable with. Move the device in linear motions, back and forth an treat each facial area separately.

• Why should I apply Slider Gel before each session?

  Your Silk’n FaceTite Mini comes with a tube of Silk’n Slider Gel. This gel is required to carry out your sessions since it ensures conductivity. It is advisable that you apply the gel directly to the treatment surface of the device. Without the gel, the device will not work! The water-based gel also moisturises the skin, helps to guide the device and prevents your skin from overheating. As soon as the Slider Gel has dried up you will need to apply some extra gel. Silk'n Slider Gel is also for sale in our webshop at www.silkn.eu.

• Can I use any other type of gel?

  If you decide to use another type of gel other than Silk'n Slider Gel, it is important that this is a basic gel that is transparent and water-based. Only when following these requirements, your FaceTite Mini device will work optimally.
  

• Why does the device stop sometimes during session?

  This can have two reasons. One, the Thermal Sensor of the device has reached a temperature of 42-43 degrees. The device stops working to protect your skin from overheating. It will automatically turn on as soon as your skin has cooled down.
  
  Two, the Slider Gel has dried up or you haven't applied enough Slider Gel. The Slider Gel ensures conductivity and at the same time protects the skin from overheating. When there is not enough Slider Gel, the device will stop working. Apply more gel to continue your session.
  

• What does the thermal sensor do?

  This built-in heat stabiliser measures the temperature of your skin during the session. If the thermal sensor measures a temperature above 42°C-43°C, the device will stop emitting heat automatically. Once the skin has cooled down sufficiently the session will be continued. This mechanism ensures that your skin will never become overheated.

• How long does a session take?

  Use the product for 3 to 5 minutes on each treatment area
  for maximum effectiveness.
  
  It is important that you treat each area individually, one small area of your face at a time. This way the temperature on your skin remains constant. You can see the treatment zones in the diagram showed in the user manual or on the product page of the website www.silkn.eu

• How often should I use it?

  Use the product 2 to 3 times a week for the first eight weeks. After eight weeks, use the product weekly, to maintain the
  effect.
  

• When can I expect results?

  Visible results can be seen after 5 weeks. Best results can be seen after 10 weeks. Keep in mind that results will depend on how consistent the regimen is followed and vary from person per person.

• Should I do anything after the session?

  After the session you should gently wipe the gel residue off your skin, using hand drying napkins or a towel. You can also wash your face with some cleansing lotion and water. After this it is recommended to use a moisturizer to soothe the skin.

• Can I take sunbaths?

  Yes. Because Silk’n FaceTite Mini is not a laser, you can sunbathe immediately before or after the session. You don’t necessarily have to use a SPF cream, although this is always recommended due to the general ageing effect of UV light on the skin.
  

• Is there any recovery time?

  Silk’n FaceTite Mini works in a different way from laser, which means that there is no need for a recovery period. The chance of skin damage is thus greatly reduced. 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 and up. Please note: this device does not have a preventive effect. This device works best on visibly mature skin.

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

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

• Should I use eye protection when using Silk’n FaceTite Mini?

  No, you don’t need to wear eye protection when using Silk’n FaceTite Mini.

• Can I use this device if I have dermal fillers, botox or underwent professional (surgical) procedures like a facelift, micro needling and ablative RF/laser?

  Botox: You can use Silk'n FaceTite Mini if you have Botox. But you should wait at least 24 hours after injection before using the device on the injected areas.
  
  Dermal fillers: Dermal fillers are a contraindication to the session with Silk'n FaceTite Mini, due to the reason that the RF energy may affect the shape of the filler and cause granulations. However, you can treat around the injected area, with a distance of at least 1 cm.
  
  Facelift: You can use Silk'n FaceTite Mini if you've had a facelift. Please note that the skin should be completely healed.
  
  Micro needling, RF/laser or other professional procedures: You should refrain from using Silk'n FaceTite Mini on areas that are not fully healed. When in doubt, consult your physician to understand if you are allowed to use Silk'n FaceTite Mini.

• Can I use this device if I have a dental implant, veneers or a crown?

  The instructions state that FaceTite Mini should not be used if you have permanent implants, including metal plates and screws. Do you have a dental implant and nevertheless want to treat the area around your mouth using FaceTite Mini? This is ONLY possible if you observe the following precautions.
  
  If you have a dental implant, you can only use FaceTite Mini if you properly protect your implant. The best way to do this is to place cotton wool rolls or pads on the inside of your mouth/jaw. This protects your implant, so that the energy released by FaceTite Mini cannot reach it.
  
  If you have veneers or a crown, you can use FaceTite Mini without any problems.

• How do I clean my device?

  After each session, it is necessary to clean your Silk'n FaceTite Mini device, especially the treatment surface.
  
  Unplug Silk'n FaceTite Mini before cleaning. Use absorbent paper (such as toilet paper or hand drying napkins) to gently wipe the gel residue off the treatment surface. Make sure to wipe away all the gel residue. Never immerse Silk'n FaceTite Mini or any of its parts in water!
