Quick Start
Plan your Silk’n BellaGlide hair removal for best results!
Treatments 1-4 - plan 2 weeks apart
Treatments 5-7 - plan four weeks apart
Treatments 8+ - treat as needed, until desired results are achieved.
Set up Silk’n BellaGlide!
. 1 Remove Silk’n BellaFlash HAIR REMOVAL UNIT and other components from box.
. 2 Plug the ADAPTOR cord into the Silk’n BellaFlash HAIR REMOVAL UNIT socket.
. 3 Plug the ADAPTOR into an electrical outlet. The STAND BY INDICATOR LIGHT will illuminate.
Treat with Silk’n BellaFlash safely and properly!
. 4 Choose areas to treat that have not had recent exposure to the sun.
. 5 The skin of the treatment areas should be shaved, clean, dry and free of any powders, antiperspirants
or deodorants. Do not wax, pluck or tweeze the hair out. Shaving is an important step to get the
results you want.
. 6 Press the CENTRAL BUTTON. The READY INDICATOR LIGHT (orange) will turn on and a fan
sound (similar to the sound of a hair dryer) will start.
. 7 Energy level 1 indicator light will turn on and the device is now ready to emit a pulse of light at the
lowest energy level.
Skin Test
Place the TREATMENT SURFACE on the skin and press the trigger to deliver one pulse. If you did
not experience abnormal discomfort after 24 hours, increase the energy level on your next test spot.
Continue testing at increased energy levels until you have reached the highest level that you feel
comfortable with. If after 24 hours at the tested level you experience no adverse eects you can start
your treatment at that energy level.
Wait 24 hours after the test and if you experience no adverse eects, you can start your full
treatment at that energy level. Repeat this test for each body part you intend to treat.

If your skin blisters or burns, stop use immediately.
Set the energy level
. 8 Apply the TREATMENT SURFACE to the skin, making sure the skin is spread evenly and smoothly. As
soon as the TREATMENT SURFACE is in full contact with the skin, the READY INDICATOR LIGHT
will start blinking.
. 9 Press the PULSE BUTTON. The device will first determine the color of your skin. If the color of the
skin is light enough for safe application, the device will flash a pulse of light onto your skin, and the
READY INDICATOR LIGHT will turn o. You will see a bright flash of light and simultaneously hear a
subtle pop sound, which is a normal noise for the device. You will feel a mild sensation of warmth and
tingling. Silk’n BellaFlash will immediately recharge for the next pulse.
. 10 Move the TREATMENT SURFACE to another area of skin avoiding gaps and overlaps between pulses.
. 11 Repeat the process until the entire treatment area is covered.

2. Silkn BellaGlide Intended Use
3. Safety with BellaGlide
4. Contraindications
HPL technology in BellaGlide - Superior safety with lower energy level:
Home Pulsed Light technology is able to achieve long-term hair removal results at a fraction of the
energy level used in other light-based hair removal equipment. The low energy used in BellaGlide reduces
its potential to cause harm or complications, and contributes to your overall safety.
BellaGlide protects your eyes: The BellaGlide Hair Removal Device is intended for use below the cheekbones
but not around the eyes. HPL light can be harmful to the eyes even when not pointed directly at them. To
protect your eyes from such harm the BellaGlide Hair Removal Device has a built-in safety feature for eye
protection. It has been designed so that a light pulse cannot be emitted when the treatment surface is facing
open air. The Pulse Trigger is enabled only when the treatment surface is in full contact with the skin.
BellaGlide protects your skin: BellaGlide comes with a Skin Color Sensor enabling use only on suitable
skin complexions to ensure skin safety. Furthermore, the 0.9X3cm² Optical Lens through which pulses of
light are delivered is recessed inside the device’s treatment surface. This enables BellaGlide to protect your
skin by avoiding direct contact between the optical lens and the skin.
BellaGlide is not designed for everyone. Please read and consider the information in the following section
before use. For further information and personalized advice, you may also visit www.silkn.com or your local
BellaGlide domain.
If you are unsure if BellaGlide is safe for you to use, please ask your doctor or dermatologist!
Important Safety Information – Read Before Use!
Silk’n BellaGlide is intended for removal of unwanted hair. Silk’n BellaGlide is also intended to eect long term,
or permanent hair reduction. The BellaGlide device is also intended for permanent reduction in hair regrowth,
defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12
months after the completion of a treatment regime.
DO NOT USE BellaGlide on a naturally dark skin complexion!
BellaGlide NA 1267B inside ED74-02 release.indd 3 10/30/2016 05:39:02 PM

English
A unique Skin Color Sensor is embedded in BellaGlide to measure the treated skin complexion at the
beginning of each session and occasionally during the session. This Skin Color Sensor ensures that a pulse
will be emitted only on suitable skin tones (refer to the color chart on the manual cover).
BellaGlide removes unwanted hair by selectively addressing hair pigment. Varied quantities of pigment
also exist in the surrounding tissue of skin. The quantity of pigment in a particular person’s skin, which is
manifested by their skin complexion, determines the degree of risk they are exposed to using BellaGlide.
Treating dark skin with BellaGlide can result in adverse eects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes
(hyper- or hypo-pigmentation)
Tanned skin, particularly following sun exposure, contains large quantities of the pigment Melanin. This
applies to all skin types and complexions, including those which don’t seem to tan quickly. The presence of
large quantities of Melanin exposes the skin to higher risk when using BellaGlide.
Using BellaGlide on skin that has been recently exposed to sunlight can result in adverse eects such as
burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
DO NOT USE BellaGlide on naturally dark skin!
DO NOT USE BellaGlide on tanned skin or after recent sun exposure! Such use
can cause burns or skin injury.
Avoid exposure to the sun for 4 weeks before your BellaGlide treatment!
DO NOT USE BellaGlide on tanned skin or after recent sun exposure!

English
Never use Silk’n BellaGlide around or near the eyes – Glide can be used only
from the cheekbones down.
Do not use the Silk’n BellaGlide Device anywhere on the ears, nipples, or genitals,
or around the anus. These areas may have more sensitive skin, a darker skin tone,
and/or a greater hair density, and using the Silk’n BellaGlide device there may
cause serious skin injury.
Do not use the Silk’n BellaGlide device on man’s face, jaw, or neck. The hair in a
man’s beard area is too dense, and using the Silk’n BellaGlide device in these areas
may result in skin injury.
The BellaGlide device is not eective on naturally white, grey, blond and red body hair. If your body hair is
of these colors, BellaGlide will not work on you.
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.

6. Precautions – How to use BellaGlide Safely
Choose your energy levels CAREFULLY!
Energy level refers to the intensity of the light pulse that is projected on your skin during use, from the
lowest level to the highest level. Indicator lights on the control pad illustrate the energy level at which
the machine is set. As the energy level increases, so do the results of BellaGlide as well as the risk of side
eects (see section 8 -“Risks of Using Silk’n BellaGlide”).
Always begin your first use of BellaGlide at the lowest energy setting!
Only if you experience little or no discomfort during and after use of BellaGlide at the lowest energy
setting, raise the energy level by one indicator light the next time you use BellaGlide, and so on for each
subsequent hair removal session. Treat at a level that is comfortable for your skin.
For detailed instructions on energy level setting, see “Energy Level” box in section 10.2 - “Treating with
BellaGlide for the first time”.
Avoid adverse eects!
Do not treat the same area of skin more than once per hair removal session!
Try to avoid overlapping pulses!
If your skin blisters or burns, STOP USE IMMEDIATELY!
Avoid complications after use of BellaGlide!
Do not expose treated areas of skin to the sun!
Sun exposure includes constant unprotected exposure to direct sunlight for over 15 minutes, or constant
unprotected exposure to diuse sunlight for over 1 hour.
To protect recently treated skin when exposed to sunlight, be sure to thoroughly apply sunscreen SPF 30
or higher, for 2 weeks after each hair removal session.
Always shave the area to be treated and make sure that the skin is clean and dry before using BellaGlide.
Cover birthmarks and tattoos before BellaGlide application.
Cover dark brown or black spots, such as large freckles, birth marks, moles or warts before BellaGlide
application.
Never look directly at the light coming from the BellaGlide treatment surface.
Do not use BellaGlide on nipples and genitals (male or female).
Do not use BellaGlide on any body site where you might later want hair.
Do not use BellaGlide for any purpose other than hair removal.
Never point the BellaGlide treatment surface in an attempt to emit a light pulse into open space. Always
make sure that the surface is pointed at, and in full contact with the skin during application.

8. Risks of using BellaGlide
Side eects and complications associated with the use of BellaGlide according to its instructions are
uncommon. However every cosmetic procedure, including those designed for home use, involves some
degree of risk. Therefore it is important that you understand and accept the risks and complications that can
occur with pulsed light hair removal systems designed for home use.
Do not attempt to open or repair your BellaGlide device. Only authorized
BellaGlide repair centers are permitted to perform repairs.
Trying to open BellaGlide may also damage the device and will void your warranty.

Minor Skin Discomfort
Although home pulsed light hair removal is generally very well-tolerated, most users do feel some mild
discomfort during use, usually described as being a mild stinging sensation on the treated skin areas. The
stinging sensation usually lasts during the application itself or for a few minutes thereafter. Anything beyond
this minor discomfort is abnormal and means that either you should not continue to use BellaGlide because
you are unable to tolerate the hair removal application, or that the energy level setting is too high.
Skin Redness
Your skin may become red right after using BellaGlide or within 24 hours of using BellaGlide. Redness
generally clears up within 24 hours. See your doctor if redness does not go away within 2 to 3 days.
Increased Sensitivity of the Skin
The skin of the treated area is more sensitive so you may encounter dryness or flaking of the skin.
Skin Wounds and Burns
Very rarely, burns or wounds to the skin can occur following the application. The burn or wound can
require a few weeks to heal and, extremely rarely, may leave a noticeable scar.
Scarring
Although very rare, scarring may occur. Usually when scarring occurs, it is in the form of a flat and white
lesion on the skin (hypotrophic). However, it can be large and red (hypertrophic) or large and extend
beyond the margins of the injury itself (keloid). Subsequent aesthetic treatments may be required to
improve the appearance of the scar.
Pigment Changes
BellaGlide 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.

English
A typical full hair growth cycle may take 18-24 months. During this time multiple BellaGlide sessions may be
required in order to achieve permanent hair removal.
The eciency of hair removal varies from person to person according to body area, hair color, and how
Silk’n BellaGlide is used.
Typical Silk’n BellaGlide 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.

Usually discoloration or changes to skin pigment are temporary and 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.
Infection
Infection of the skin is exceedingly rare but is still a possible risk following a skin burn or wound caused
by BellaGlide.
Bruising
Very rarely, use of BellaGlide may cause blue-purple bruising that can last 5 to 10 days. As the bruising
fades, there may be a rust-brown discoloration of the skin (hyperpigmentation).
Expected Treatment Outcome for Hair Removal

English
1. Individual response depends on hair type as well as biological factors that may aect hair growth patterns. Some users may respond quicker or slower
than the average number of treatments.
2. One cannot expect permanent epilation in a single or even double treatment sessions. The duration of the resting period for hair follicles also
depends on the body area.
10. How To Use BellaGlide
10.1. BellaGlide Setup
1. Remove the BellaGlide hair removal device, and other components from box.
2. Plug the power cord into the BellaGlide Device socket.
3. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electrical outlet.
4. All six LED lights will blink on and o, one after the other, in a circle.
Your BellaGlide is now ready to start.
10.2. Treating with BellaGlide
1. The skin should be shaved, clean, dry and free of any powders, antiperspirants or deodorants.
2. Press the central button briefly. The Energy level 1 led will turn on.
About 1 second later, the Ready Indicator Light will turn on. The device is now set to deliver the lowest energy
level pulses. The device is ready for you to trigger the first pulse.
3. If you wish to change the energy level, press the CENTRAL BUTTON quickly and repeatedly to increase the
energy level from 1 to 5 and from 5 directly back to 1, cyclically, until the desired energy level is set. The Energy
Level indicator Lights will indicate the energy level setting. (See “Energy Level” frame).
Energy Level
Energy level determines the intensity of the BellaGlide light pulse delivered to your skin, from the lowest
level (1) to the highest level (5). Corresponding indicator lights on the control panel represent the
increases in energy. As energy level increases, so do hair removal results as well as the risk of possible
side eects and complications.
Always start your first BellaGlide hair removal session at the lowest energy setting.
If you experience little or no discomfort during and after the hair removal session using the lowest energy
level, raise the energy level by one indicator light at the next session, and so on for each subsequent session.
Do not raise the energy level if you experience abnormal discomfort during or after
treating with BellaGlide (See section 8 - “Risks of Using Glide”).
Do not raise the energy level during a hair removal session even if you experience no
discomfort. Discomfort may also appear sometime after the session.
BellaGlide NA 1267B inside ED74-02 release.indd 12 10/30/2016 05:39:02 PM
13
English
Whenever BellaGlide is turned on; its energy level will automatically be reset to the lowest energy level.
Only one Energy Level indicator Light will be on.
To set the energy level, press the central Button repeatedly to increase the energy level. After reaching level
5, an additional press will bring the level back down to Level 1. The number of Energy Level indicator Lights
will coincide with the change in energy level.
4. Apply the TREATMENT SURFACE to the skin, making sure the skin is spread evenly and smoothly and
the TREATMENT SURFACE is in full contact with the skin. Make sure the Ready Indicator Light starts
blinking slowly.
5. Press the Pulse Trigger. The device will first determine the color of your skin.
If the color of the skin is light enough for safe application, the device will flash a pulse of light onto your
skin. You will see a bright flash of light and simultaneously hear a subtle pop sound, which is a normal
noise for the device. You may feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling.
BellaGlide will immediately recharge for the next pulse. After a few seconds (depending on the set
energy level) the Ready Indicator Light will turn on again and start blinking.
If you see no light pulse, and the Ready Indicator Light blinks rapidly, this is now the SKIN COLOR
WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT alerting that your skin tone is too dark for safe application. Try using
the device on a dierent body part or contact Silk’n support.
6. Move the TREATMENT SURFACE to another area of skin.
Administer one pulse at a time at your chosen energy level. Use the pressure marks the device just made in
your skin to guide you for proper positioning of the next pulse, avoiding both gaps and overlaps between pulses.
BellaGlide can be applied in two ways: “Pulsing” and “Gliding”.
7. Repeat the process starting again with Step 5.
PULSING
When Pulsing, administer one pulse at a time at your chosen energy level. Use
the pressure marks the device just made in your skin to guide you for proper
positioning of the next pulse, avoiding both gaps and overlaps between pulses.
Covering skin areas
Treatments should be administered in rows, starting at one end of each row and
progressing sequentially towards the other end. This technique allows better
control of skin coverage, and helps you avoid treating the same area more than
once or overlapping skin areas. Ideal body areas for BellaGlide use include the
underarms, bikini line, arms and legs and below the cheekbones.

If your skin blisters or burns, STOP USE IMMEDIATELY!
10.3. What to Expect when treating with BellaGlide?
For many people, using BellaGlide may be their first experience with a light-based device designed for home
use. BellaGlide is simple to use, and hair removal sessions go by quickly. During a BellaGlide session it is normal
to experience and feel:
A Flash of Light – The bright light of BellaGlide will not harm the eyes. Nevertheless, do not use the device
around or near your eyes.
A Fan Noise – The cooling fan in BellaGlide sounds similar to a hairdryer. This is normal.
A Pop Sound with Each Pulse – When a pulse of HPL light is activated, it is normal to hear a subtle pop
sound simultaneously with the flash of light.
Moderate Pressure of the Treatment area – This is necessary and helpful for placement of adjacent pulses
of light, and is part of the unique safety features of BellaGlide.
A Sensation of Warmth and Tingling – During each pulse of light, it is normal to feel a mild sensation of
warmth and tingling from the light energy. Remember it is important to always use low energy settings for
initial hair removal sessions. You may feel some warmth for up to an hour after your BellaGlide session.
Some Mild Red or Pink Color – During and just after your BellaGlide session it is not uncommon to see
some very mild, pink-like color of the skin. This is usually most noticeable around the hairs themselves.
However if you see full redness of the skin, blistering or burns, stop use of BellaGlide immediately.
GLIDING
Alternatively, if you choose the Gliding method, hold the PULSE TRIGGER down continuously, and
slide the device smoothly along the treated area. Please note that this method is best applied when
working with low energy pulses. This way, the device takes only 1-1.5 seconds to recharge between
pulses and provides a nonstop sequence of flashes.
In both methods of treatment you are cautioned not to treat the same area of skin more than once
per hair removal session! Treating the same area of skin more than once per session increases the
likelihood of adverse eects.
Gliding should be applied while holding the PULSE TRIGGER down continuously, and using a light
sliding motion, smoothly moving the device along the treated area. The treatment is then
administered quickly and more eciently. Even though Gliding is usually done using low energy
pulses for fast recharge, it is still essential to control skin coverage and avoid double treatments.
When applied to the skin, the BellaGlide TREATMENT SURFACE is designed to create temporary
pressure marks on the treated area. These visible marks can be used for proper positioning of the
device for treatment sessions.

Skin care following hair removal session
Do not expose the treated areas of skin to the sun. Be sure to carefully protect the
treated skin with sunscreen, throughout the hair removal period and for at least 2 weeks
following the last BellaGlide session.
Side eects and complications
Some patients may experience pigmentation changes resulting from treating with BellaGlide. These eects, if
they occur, are generally mild and transient.
10.4. After treating with BellaGlide
When a BellaGlide session has been completed, turn BellaGlide with an extended press of the CENTRAL
BUTTON. Be sure to remember the last energy level setting you used, as it will not be restored when turning
BellaGlide on again.
Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
After each hair removal session, it is recommended that you clean your BellaGlide device, especially the
Treatment surface (See section 11.1: “Cleaning BellaGlide”).
After cleaning, it is recommended you store your BellaGlide device in its original box, and keep it away from water
If you experience any complication (See section 8 – “Risks of using BellaGlide”)
please contact your physician immediately.
