Our products are designed to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. Using
professional light technology, Gillette Venus Silk·expert 5 Intense Pulsed Light (IPL, hereafter referred
to as “Silk-expert”) is a hair removal device that can be used comfortably at home.

2 How Does Silk·expert Work?
Silk·expert is designed to help break the cycle of hair growth. Light energy is transferred through the skin’s
surface and is absorbed by melanin present in the hair shaft. The absorbed light energy is converted to
heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle. Treated hairs naturally fall out
over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks.
What to Expect
Immediately post treatment, you should not see any significant side effects from treatment (Refer to
section 4 for more information on side effects).
In the first few weeks following the initial treatments, you will still see some hairs growing. These are likely
to be hairs that were missed during treatment i.e. they were lying dormant and not in their growth phase
(Anagen) during treatment, when IPL is most effective.
Around 6 weeks into the 12 week treatment program you should see a reduction in hair growth. However,
many hairs may still not have been treated in their growth phase. It is important to continue the weekly
treatments.
After the 12 week program, you should see a significant reduction in hairs within the treated area. Any
remaining hairs should be finer and lighter in color. Continued monthly treatments, or treatments as
required, should maintain the reduction in unwanted hair.
3 Important Safety Information
3.1 Contraindications
DO NOT use the device if you have very dark skin. The Skin Tone sensors located near
the output window of the device will determine the tone of your skin. If the Skin Tone
sensors determine your skin is too dark for safe use, operation will be prevented.
DO NOT use the device if your skin has been artificially or naturally tanned recently
or is burned from sun overexposure. Your skin may be extra sensitive following sun
exposure and particularly susceptible to burning, blistering, discoloring or scarring
if you use the device. Wait 1 week until sunburn or tan disappears before using the
device. Treating tanned skin with IPL may result in permanent Hyper (darkening) or
Hypo (lightening) changes to the treated skin.

5 Benefits
The device is indicated for the permanent reduction of unwanted hair.
A clinical trial was performed to assess both the safety and efficacy of the device. The key features of the
clinical trial were:
• All treatments were performed by non-medically trained operators at a single location using devices
identical to the one provided in this package;
• All subjects were required to complete questionnaires related to their general health and those who
could not be treated, e.g. those who had one or more of the contraindications as listed in Section 3 of
this User Manual were excluded. In addition, all subjects were required to provide Informed Consent as
per international clinical trial requirements;
• A total of 53 female subjects, aged between 19 and 45 years old, commenced the trial;
• Three subjects left the trial during the treatment period for personal reasons. No subjects left the trial
due to problems associated with the use of the device;
• Each subject received 12 weekly treatments to their chosen body location. A typical treatment consisted
of shaving the site then applying the device following the same process as outlined in Section 7, Step 3
of this user manual;
• Hair counts were used to measure the change in the amount of hair 6 months after the last treatment
and 12 months after the last treatment. The hairs in the treatment sites were counted via high resolution
photography and the difference in hair counts was calculated as a percentage change;
• When used as directed, the clinical trial participants showed on average 44% less hair 6 months after
their last treatment and 36% less hair 12 months after their last treatment when compared to hair counts
taken before treatment (see table below). Actual results did vary from person to person.
Number of subjects at 6 months post treatment 50
Hair reduction at 6 months post treatment 43.9 %
Number of subjects at 12 months post treatment 33
Hair reduction at 12 months post treatment 36.0 %
% of subjects met success (> 30% hair reduction) on all body areas at 12 months
post treatment. Subject success is defined as greater than 30 % hair reduction at
all treatment sites at 12 months.
66.7 %
• The incidence of side effects during the clinical trial was minimal (as outlined in Section 4 above) and the
majority of subjects (48 out of 50) would recommend the device to their friends.

7 How To Use
WARNING: Follow each step in the treatment process ensuring you complete all aspects of each step
before progressing to the next.
Step 1: Preparing the treatment area
Remove all visible hair on the skin before using the device. You may use your preferred hair removal
method. Ensure there is no hair remaining above the surface of the skin as this can damage the removable
front (9) and may cause treatment discomfort. Cleanse the treatment area and pat dry.
Step 2: Doing a Test Patch
Before your first treatment on each new body area, we RECOMMEND you test your skin (in that area) for
reactions.
The patch test area should be approximately 3 cm x 2 cm in size (equivalent to 2 flashes applied to the skin
side by side). Follow Step 3 to treat the area.
Wait 24 hours following the patch test, to ensure your skin is suitable for treatment and there is no adverse
reaction to the light energy. If there is no reaction after 24 hours, you may treat the area around the test
patch. The ‘patch tested area’ should not be re-treated for at least one week.
Step 3: Treating with Silk·expert
a) Plug the mains cord (8) into an electrical outlet. Plug the power supply (7) into the power socket (6).
The LED power bars (3) will light up once and a fan will start running. This means the device is in READY
mode. During operation, the device will heat up slightly.
b) Press the treatment window (1) firmly against the area to be treated ensuring both skin tone sensors (2)
are in contact with skin. The device will not operate if only one skin tone sensor is in contact with skin.
Once both skin tone sensors measure a valid skin tone, the pre-set output power is displayed on the
LED Power Bars (3) located on both sides of the device.
Silk-expert uses skin tone sensors that continuously measure the color (tone) of your skin and
automatically set the correct level of output power needed based on the measured skin tone. This is not
related to the Fitzpatrick skin tone classification.
If your skin is too dark for treatment with Silk·expert, the skin tone sensors will detect this and prevent
the unit from operating.
RED lights will be shown in the Power Bar if your skin is too dark.
If a valid skin tone is detected, the Power Bars will illuminate WHITE.

, which automatically measures the skin color, there is no
need for the user to make any manual adjustment for skin tone. The skin tone chart on page 3 is displayed
also on the sales box as a guidance to potential purchasers to determine if the device will work on their
skin colouration. This does not relate to the Fitzpatrick scale, it is simply a color guide.

c) Press the treatment button (5). The device will flash and a warm sensation should be felt.
If you find the treatment uncomfortable, you may reduce the light intensity using the light intensity
button (4):
Normal setting: After plugging in, the device operates with full light intensity shown by a white
indicator light.
Gentle setting: Press button (4) in order to operate with reduced light intensity. The light
shines blue.
Extra gentle setting: Press button (4) a second time: The light flashes blue.
To return to full power, press button (4) again.
Gentle and extra gentle settings are meant for sensitive areas and first time users. With reduced light
intensity more treatments may be required to see the desired effects.
d) Move the treatment window to the next area to be treated and repeat. The device needs to recharge
between flashes. This will take between 1-2 seconds.
e) Ensure that the entire area receives treatment, but DO NOT treat an area twice (overlapping flashes).
8 Treatment Modes
Depending on the area you wish to treat you can choose between Gliding mode and Precision mode:
Gliding mode enables fast and efficient treatments and is recommended for large skin surface areas
(e.g. legs, arms, chest and back) while Precision mode is recommended for treating sensitive or small,
hard-to reach areas such as knees, shins, ankles, bikini line or underarm and face for females.
The area to be treated has to be hair-free, clean and dry. Before pressing the treatment button, look away
from the device to avoid the bright light.
Gliding mode Precision mode
1. Place the treatment window (1) firmly on your skin, ensuring both skin sensors (2) have skin contact.
Power bars (3) show white LEDs.
2. Press and hold the treatment button (5).
The device will begin to flash.
2. Press and instantly release the treatment button
(5). The device will emit a flash.
3. Move the device slowly and continuously from
the bottom to the top of the treatment area to
avoid missing areas. Make sure to always keep
full skin contact so that the device flashes
continuously.
3. Lift off the device and place it onto the next
adjacent spot to be treated. Wait for the power
bars to show white LEDs. Then press and
release the treatment button.
Once you have completed your first gliding stroke, lift
the device off the treatment area. Repeat steps 1 to
3 to treat the next adjacent area in a parallel stroke.
Continue treatment spot by spot until you have
completed the entire area you wish to treat.
Make sure to avoid missed areas by placing the treatment window directly next to the previously
treated spot without leaving any space between treated areas.
If you feel intense pain, stop treatment immediately and consult your physician before using the device again.
Standby mode
After 10 minutes of inactivity, the device will revert to standby mode (which will be indicated by one blinking
light on the power indicator bars). To return to READY mode, press any key or remove/replace the power cord.

Sleep mode
If the device is not operated (no button push) for 60 minutes, it will enter sleep mode (low power state).
The Power bar LEDs are off. To return to READY mode, press any button or remove/replace the mains
cord. On wake-up the device will follow the standard “power on” procedure (power bars will light up
completely once).
Step 4: Your Treatment Schedule
For optimal results, Silk·expert should be used once a week for 12 weeks to ensure all hair follicles are
treated.
After the initial treatment phase (12 weekly treatments), we recommend the device is used once a month,
or as required, to maintain results.
Step 5: Switching Off the Device
When the treatment is finished, unplug the device from the power supply, and the electrical outlet. Refer to
section 9 for details of how best to look after your Silk·expert.
9 Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage
After treatment, always switch off Silk·expert by unplugging the power supply from the device and the
electrical outlet.
After use, the handset, the skin tone sensors (2) and the treatment window (1) should be inspected for
damage and wiped down with a dry, lint free cloth. If any marks or black spots are seen, then it is best to
clean them off straight away after treatment.
NEVER use water or other cleaning fluids, as these can damage the device leading to a potential safety hazard.
WARNING: The glass filter (10) can get hot during use. DO NOT touch or clean the filter for at least 5
minutes after use to allow it to cool down.
To ensure maximum performance of your Silk·expert, it is particularly important to keep the removable
front and reflector (9) free from dirt, hair or other debris.
To aid in the cleaning of this part, the front section (9) is removable. Once removed, it can be cleaned with
a slightly damp cloth. Always ensure the removable front is completely dry before re-fitting to the device.
Grip the sides of the front section (9) and pull away from the device. Once cleaned, replace it ensuring it is
fully inserted. It will only fit one way. Do not force it.
Store the device in a cool, dry place. Make sure that the treatment window and skin tone sensors are
protected from damage.
Regularly check the device (including cords) for visible signs of damage. In case of damage or cracks,
stop using the device.
Travelling With the Device
The power supply unit is universal and will work with all commonly encountered mains supplies. Providing
you have a suitable adaptor for the mains power cable plug, the device will operate as normal.
Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Power bars do not light up when treatment window
is placed on the skin.
Make sure the device is connected to an electrical
outlet and in Ready mode.
Ensure both skin tone sensors are in full contact
with the skin. If needed, move the device in a way
that both skin tone sensors get skin contact.
The device doesn’t work on small areas. Both skin tone sensors must be in contact with the
skin. If the area to be treated is too small or
curved, no valid skin tone can be read and the
device cannot be activated. Reposition the device
to ensure both sensors make contact with the skin.
On the power bar, only the first LED illuminates
red.
Invalid skin tone reading. Your skin is too dark.
For safety reasons, the device cannot be activated.

Nos produits sont conçus pour satisfaire aux plus hautes exigences en matière de qualité, fonctionnalité et

2 Comment Silk·expert fonctionne-t-il?
Silk·expert est conçu pour aider à arrêter la repousse des poils. La lumière est transmise à travers la
surface de la peau puis absorbée par la mélanine de la tige capillaire. La lumière ainsi absorbée est
convertie en chaleur (sous la surface de la peau), ce qui neutralise le follicule pileux. Les poils ainsi traités
tombent par eux-mêmes après quelques jours, au plus tard en 2 semaines.
À quoi s’attendre
Immédiatement après le traitement, vous ne devriez ressentir aucun effet secondaire (lire la section 4 pour
plus d’informations relatives aux effets secondaires).
Au cours des premières semaines suivant le premier traitement, les repousses continueront à apparaître.
Ces repousses sont probablement des poils qui ont échappé au traitement, c’est-à-dire qui n’étaient pas
en phase de croissance (anagène) lors du traitement, au moment où la lumière intense pulsée est la plus
efficace.
Environ à la 6
e
semaine du traitement de 12 semaines, vous devriez constater une réduction des
repousses. Cela dit, plusieurs poils n’auront toujours pas été traités lors de leur phase de croissance.
Il est important de poursuivre les traitements hebdomadaires.
Une fois le traitement de 12 semaines terminé, vous devriez constater une réduction importante du
nombre de poils dans la surface traitée. Les poils restants devraient être plus minces et plus pâles.
Poursuivre les traitements mensuels, ou lorsque nécessaire, devrait maintenir la réduction des poils
indésirables.
3 Informations importantes relatives à la sécurité
3.1 Contre-indications
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si votre peau est très foncée. Les détecteurs de teint
situés près de la surface d’émission de l’appareil analyseront le teint de votre peau.
Si les détecteurs de teint déterminent que votre teint est trop foncé pour une
utilisation sécuritaire, l’appareil ne fonctionnera pas.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si votre peau a été bronzée de façon artificielle ou
naturelle, ou si vous souffrez d’une surexposition au soleil. Votre peau, suite à une
exposition au soleil, pourrait être très sensible. L’utilisation de l’appareil pourrait
91818698_BD5001_CAN.indd 1791818698_BD5001_CAN.indd 17 23.01.18 14:5623.01.18 14:56
CSS APPROVED Effective Date 1Feb2018 GMT - Printed 29Mar2018 Page 17 of 30
18
entraîner des brûlures cutanées, de la décoloration, de la scarification et des
boursouflures. Veuillez attendre 1 semaine après un coup de soleil ou une séance
de bronzage avant d’utiliser l’appareil. Le traitement par lumière intense pulsée
d’une peau bronzée peut entraîner de l’hyperpigmentation (assombrissement) ou
de l’hypopigmentation (éclaircissement).
NE PAS exposer au soleil les surfaces traitées. Attendez au moins 7 jours après le
traitement avant d’exposer la peau traitée au soleil. Il se peut que votre peau, suite
à un traitement à lumière intense pulsée, soit très sensible et sujette aux coups de
soleil. Appliquez un écran solaire (FPS 15 ou plus) sur la surface traitée, ou
couvrez-la à l’aide de vêtements appropriés.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil sur les mamelons, les parties génitales ou autour de
l’anus. Ces surfaces ont potentiellement un teint de peau plus foncé et/ou une
pilosité accrue. L’utilisation de l’appareil à ces endroits pourrait causer de
l’inconfort/de la douleur ou des blessures (brûlures, décoloration ou cicatrices) sur
votre peau.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous avez des antécédents de cancer de la peau ou de
lésions précancéreuses (des nævi ou de nombreux grains de beauté).
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous êtes enceinte ou en lactation. Il n’a pas été
éprouvé auprès de ces personnes.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil sur des taches brun foncé ou noires telles les taches de
naissance, les grains de beauté ou les verrues situés sur les surfaces que vous
désirez traiter. Utiliser l’appareil pourrait entraîner des blessures cutanées ou
empirer les conditions préexistantes. Vous pourriez éprouver des effets
secondaires tels des brûlures, des cloques, des cicatrices ou des changements de
teint.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous souffrez de problèmes cutanés dans la surface
traitée tels le psoriasis, le vitiligo, l’eczéma, l’acné, l’herpès ou toute blessure ou
infection active.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous êtes âgé de moins de 18 ans. Cet appareil n’a pas
été éprouvé auprès de ces personnes.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil sur les tatouages ou le maquillage permanent.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil sur la barbe, dans le cas des hommes.
3.2 Avertissements
SÉCURITÉ DES YEUX
L’appareil émet des clignotements de lumière intense pulsée. Une exposition
directe pourrait être nocive pour vos yeux. Veuillez suivre attentivement les
précautions de sécurité ci-dessous. L’appareil ne peut être activé (clignotement)
que si les 2 détecteurs de teint détectent un teint de peau valide. Cependant :
NE PAS regarder directement à l’intérieur de la fente d’émission (1) lorsque
l’appareil est alimenté et en marche.
91818698_BD5001_CAN.indd 1891818698_BD5001_CAN.indd 18 23.01.18 14:5623.01.18 14:56
CSS APPROVED Effective Date 1Feb2018 GMT - Printed 29Mar2018 Page 18 of 30
19
NE PAS essayer d’activer (clignotement) l’appareil lorsqu’il est orienté vers votre œil.
NE PAS traiter la surface autour des yeux (incluant les cils et les sourcils).
Essayez d’activer (clignotement) l’appareil UNIQUEMENT lorsque la fente
d’emission est en contact direct avec la surface que vous désirez traiter.
NOUS VOUS RECOMMANDONS de détourner le regard au moment d’appuyer
sur le bouton de traitement.
SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE ET INCENDIE
Comme avec tout appareil électrique, certaines précautions doivent être prises
pour assurer votre sécurité.
NE PAS essayer d’ouvrir l’appareil. Vous pourriez vous exposer à des pièces
électriques dangereuses.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil s’il est endommagé; par exemple, si le boîtier est fissuré,
si le câble est endommagé (vous apercevez les fils à l’intérieur), si le filtre de verre
est cassé, etc. Cela pourrait entraîner des blessures.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil près de baignoires, de douches, de lavabos ou d’autres
contenants remplis d’eau. Si l’appareil est mouillé, il ne devrait pas être utilisé.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil s’il devient brûlant au toucher. Cela pourrait signifier que
l’unité est endommagée.
NE PAS essayer d’activer (clignotement) l’appareil sur une surface autre que la peau.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si la prise du câble d’alimentation mural n’est pas à
portée de main. Vous devriez en tout temps être en mesure de débrancher l’appareil.
AVERTISSEMENT Il est interdit de modifier cet équipement.
Afin de prévenir l’endommagement de l’appareil, les décharges électriques et les
risques d’incendie, veuillez uniquement utiliser cet appareil avec le câble d’alimentation
mural (8) et le bloc d’alimentation (7) (CyDen Type 6027…) fournis.
N’utilisez pas d’autres pièces, et évitez de modifier cet appareil. Cela pourrait
endommager l’unité et l’empêcher de fonctionner.
SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALE
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous avez subi un traitement d’exfoliation sur la surface
que vous désirez traiter. Veuillez attendre 30 jours après l’exfoliation avant d’entamer
le traitement.
NE PAS utiliser l’appareil si vous souffrez d’une sensibilité à la lumière solaire (telle
la photosensibilité) ou si vous prenez des médicaments qui accroissent la sensibilité
de la peau et causent la photosensibilité tels Retin-A
®
, Accutane
®
ou tout autre
rétinoïde topique. Lisez toujours la notice d’instructions qui accompagne les produits
médicaux pour vérifier si la photosensibilité en serait un effet secondaire.
L’utilisation de l’appareil sur une peau photosensible pourrait endommager la peau
et causer des enflures ou des cloques.
91818698_BD5001_CAN.indd 1991818698_BD5001_CAN.indd 19 23.01.18 14:5623.01.18 14:56

accélérées chez certaines personnes. Selon les données présentement disponibles,
les groupes les plus à risque, lorsque traitées sur le visage et le cou, sont les femmes
d’ascendance méditerranéenne, moyen-orientale et de l’Asie du Sud.
NE PAS UTILISER l’appareil sur les surfaces où vous voudriez que les poils
repoussent.
Cet appareil n’est pas recommandé pour les poils roux, blonds ou gris, car il n’est
pas efficace sur ces couleurs.
