Silk'n Flash&Go Jewel home IPL device

From a reader:

Hi.

I got a Silk’n jewel as a present.

From what I read in your forum, silk’n isn’t powerful enough to kill hair follicules, but those posts very almost a decade older and for older silkn’s.

Silk’n jewels Wavelength is 475-1200nm.

I use it at highest setting. You think it’s powerful enough to permanenty disable hair follicules?

Hi!

The Silk’n Flash&Go Jewel has a maximum energy level of 4 joules per square centimeter (4J/cm²).

This energy level is not high enough to cause permanent hair reduction.

You could trade it for a Tria, which has a higher fluence and is available for home use, but still not as powerful as pro treatments.
