Adverse Reaction
Skin Redness – Your skin may become red right after using Silk'n Flash&Go™ or within
24 hours of using Silk'n Flash&Go™. Redness generally clears up within 24 hours. See your
doctor if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.
Increased Sensitivity to Skin – The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may
encounter dryness or flaking of the skin.
Pigment Changes – Silk'n Flash&Go™ targets the hair shaft, in particular the pigmented
cells in the hair follicle and the hair follicle itself. Nevertheless there is risk of temporary
hyperpigmentation (increased pigment or brown discoloration) or hypopigmentation
(whitening) to the surrounding skin. This risk of changes in skin pigmentation is higher
for people with darker skin tones. Usually discoloration or changes to skin pigment are
temporary and permanent hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation rarely occur.
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 one should avoid exposure to sun.
Please note: 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.
