Which areas of my body can I use HeySilkySkin on?

Are results permanent with HeySilkySkin?
Our Handset offers extremely long lasting results however no form of laser hair removal is permanent, even at the clinics. Just be careful when companies claim “permanent” hair removal, as this term technically means that there will be no regrowth of hair for 6 months. To maintain long-term results we advise using our Handset once a week for 8 weeks, then just once every 3 months for maintenance.
What does HeySilkySkin feel like to use?
Unlike in-clinic laser and other forms of hair removal our Handset is completely pain-free! Our customers describe a warm sensation on the skin.
Do I need to wear glasses/eye protection?
Eye protection is optional but it is recommended. Our anti-flash eye protective glasses can be found in the link here www.HeySilkySkin.com/Glasses and have been designed with enough tint to combat our Handset's flash output.
Should I shave before using HeySilkySkin?
Yes, we recommend shaving the areas you wish to target before using your handset.
Does HeySilkySkin work for all hair colours?
Yes however users with very light blonde, red, or grey coloured hair may need to complete 1-2 sessions more than, for example, a user with brunette hair. This is because our Handset targets melanin in your hair which absorbs the light's energy, and melanin is more present in darker hair colours.
Do I need to wear eye protection when using HeySilkySkin?
No, eye protection is not required whilst using our Handset. Our Handsets have been designed with a sensor and will not pulse a light unless the entire window is pressed against your skin. That being said, you should never try and look directly into the light as it flashes.
Is there a how-to video?
Yes there is! Click here to view our demonstration video: https://au.heysilkyskin.com/pages/how-to-video
