Frequently asked questions
1. What is Bare Silk Pro and how does it work?
Bare Silk Pro is a handheld IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device that targets hair at the root to slow and reduce regrowth over time. It uses safe light pulses to break the hair growth cycle without pain.
2. Is Bare Silk Pro safe to use at home?
- Yes, it’s completely safe for home use. It’s FDA-cleared and designed with safety features like skin tone detection and auto shut-off.
3. How often should I use Bare Silk Pro?
- Use it 2–3 times per week during the first 3 weeks. After that, you can reduce to once a week or as needed for maintenance.
4. When will I see results?
- Most users see noticeable hair reduction after 3 weeks of consistent use. Full results are typically achieved within 8–12 weeks.
5. Does it hurt?
No, Bare Silk Pro is designed to deliver a pain-free hair removal experience thanks to its advanced IPL and Dual Pulse technology.
Most users report only a mild warmth or a gentle snap, especially in sensitive areas like the bikini line or underarms. But overall, it's far more comfortable than waxing or epilation.
What makes it even more gentle is the Dual Pulse technology, which delivers two low-energy flashes in quick succession instead of one strong pulse. This helps:
1-Distribute the energy more evenly
2-Reduce heat buildup and irritation
3-Enhance comfort while maintaining effectiveness
This makes Bare Silk Pro perfect for sensitive skin and ideal for home use. You can also adjust the intensity level to suit your comfort — from level 1 (very mild) to higher settings as needed.
6. What skin tones and hair colors is it suitable for?
- Bare Silk Pro works best on light to medium skin tones with dark hair. It may not be effective on very light blonde, red, gray, or white hair.
7. Is there a warranty?
- Yes! We offer a 6-month replacement warranty. If your device becomes defective within 6 months, we’ll replace it at no extra charge.
8. How long does Bare Silk Pro last?
- Bare Silk Pro is built to last with up to 999,900 flashes — enough for years of full-body treatments without needing a replacement.
9. Can I use it on my face or sensitive areas?
- Yes, it’s safe to use on the face (below the cheekbones) and other sensitive areas like underarms and bikini line. Avoid using near the eyes.
10. How do I use Bare Silk Pro correctly?
Using Bare Silk Pro is simple and takes just a few minutes per session. Follow these steps for safe and effective hair removal:
1-Shave the area you want to treat. The skin should be clean, dry, and free of any lotions or creams. Avoid waxing or plucking — only shaving is recommended before treatment.
2-Plug in the device and press the power button to turn it on. Use the same button to adjust the intensity level. We recommend starting at level 1 and increasing gradually based on your comfort.
3-Wear protective eyewear if included with your device, especially when treating areas close to the face.
4-Place the flash window flat against your skin. When the device detects full contact, the flash button will activate (or flash automatically, depending on your mode).
5-Press the flash button (or allow auto-flash) to release a pulse of light. Move the device in a grid-like pattern, avoiding overlapping flashes on the same area.
6-Treat the entire area you want to cover. A full leg session typically takes 10–15 minutes.
7-After treatment, moisturize your skin with a gentle, alcohol-free lotion or aloe vera. Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, or harsh products for at least 24 hours.
8-Use it 2–3 times per week for the first 3–4 weeks. After that, use it once a week or as needed for touch-ups.
With consistent use, you’ll start seeing smoother, hair-free skin in just a few weeks.
