Innovative Aesthetics Offers Silk’n™: Laser Hair Removal at Home
Get silky, smooth skin anytime you want – in the privacy of your own home
January 5, 2009
News Facts:
- Innovative Aesthetics of Houston now offers Silk’n™, an FDA approved, laser-based hair removal system.
- Silk’n™, powered by the innovative and proprietary Home Pulsed Light™ technology, is clinically tested for safe, quick, and effective removal of hair by patients in the convenience of their home. Silk’n™ is available exclusively through and under the direction of a physician.
- The efficacy and safety of Silk’n™ was tested in a multi-center clinical study involving four medical centers in North America and Israel over the last 12 months.
- A total of 150 patients self treated with Silk’n™ in physicians’ offices as part of the study, and the initial hair count as well as the post-treatment hair count of these patients was monitored by the investigating physicians.
- An average reduction of 50% in the hair count was monitored three months post three bi-weekly treatment sessions. No adverse effects were noted in the course of the study, and the users of Silk’n™ recorded an extremely high level of satisfaction with the device and their results.
- With Silk’n™, hair can be removed on any area of the body below the neck, including legs, underarms, arms and bikini line. Treatment sessions can take around 30 minutes for one leg, or 10 minutes for each underarm. Within two weeks of the treatment, hairs will fall out.
- Black and dark brown respond the best, although brown and light brown hairs will also respond but typically require more treatments. Silk’n™ is not for use on tanned skin, naturally dark skin or skin that has just been exposed to the sun. This can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
Quotes attributable to Jim Cain, III, MD, Innovative Aesthetics’ founder and medical director and a respected doctor with 27 years in practice.
- Many times, patients are nervous about coming into a doctor's office to receive a hair removal treatment. Silk'n™ takes that apprehension away - by allowing patients to control when they remove hair, at their own pace, in their own home.
- There is virtually no down side to this product. Normal activity can be resumed immediately after using Silk’n™, as long as no abnormal complication has been experienced.
