Silk’n™ is a physician directed and recommended, innovative light-based device for patient hair removal in the privacy of their home. Safe, easy to use and cost effective, Silk’n™ achieves marked clinical results while offering personal convenience to patients and improved hair removal management to physicians.

THE HPL™ INNOVATION

The Silk’n™ device utilizes the highly sophisticated and new Home Pulsed Light™ (HPL™) technology, developed by Home

Skinovations Ltd. especially for safe patient use at home.

HPL™ Epilation is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis in which optical energy is used to disable hair growth.

Epilation with Home Skinovations’ proprietary HPL™ technology is further benefited by a unique acoustic effect that further

enhances the normal process of epilation by photothermolysis.

To safely achieve the desired clinical results the hair shaft needs to selectively absorb HPL™ light energy and transform it into

heat. Melanin is the pigment in the hair shaft that is responsible for the absorption of light, which generates the heat at the follicle.

Selectivity is achieved when the HPL™ optical energy delivered to the tissue is mostly absorbed by pigment in the hair shaft, while

the epidermis and the surrounding tissue remain cool. Additionally HPL™ technology creates an acoustic effect that enhances the

overall hair removal result. Together the optical and acoustic effects of HPL™ technology are what enable the Silk’n™ device to be

safely used by patients for home based hair removal.

WHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING ABOUT SILK’N™“As a leading investigator in the development of state-of-the-art lasers and IPL systems for hair removal, I was surprised by the marked clinical results that were achieved with Silk’n™. Patients who were previously treated with professional hair removal systems used in my clinic had a chance to use Silk’n™ in clinical trials. They reported that self-treatment was easy, relatively painless, and resulted in noticeable hair reduction after each treatment.”Tina S. Alster, M.D.Director, Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser SurgeryClinical Professor of Dermatology, Georgetown University Medical Center

“After supporting the development of leading professional IPL and laser systems for hair removal, and using them in my clinic for many years, I introduced Silk’n™ to my patients. After 4 to 6 treatments with the Silk’n™ device they were extremely satisfied to see dramatic hair reduction.R. Stephen Mulholland, MD FRCS(C)Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon

Improved Results Management for Physicians Silk’n™ is offered exclusively through physicians, thus offering doctors an improved way for their patients to manage and enhance their long-term hair removal results. Patients can do all treatments at home, or use Silk’n™ for periodic maintenance treatments between treatments at the office.

Savings for PatientsRegardless of the status of hair removal in your practice, patients will turn to physicians offering Silk’n™ for the savings it offers them, as well as the convenience. Extended use of Silk’n by your patients saves them money when compared to laser and electrolysis treatments in aesthetic salons, as well as extended waxing or shaving.
