"Silk’n has been the leader in IPL at home laser hair removal devices for years and I would highly recommend their Silk’n 7 IPL device. It is the only device on the market to combine galvanic energy to the IPL to enhance the penetration of light into the follicle, leading to improved results.
In addition, it has a large spot size allowing for faster treatment of larger areas, a rotatable head for ease of use, and a skin color sensor that is a very important safety feature for darker skin types."
Most at-home laser hair removal devices use IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) relying on optical energy to target hair follicles. Our Silk’n 7 device takes it a step further by combining optical and galvanic energy. Discover ourpatented 'e-HPL™ (Enhanced Home Pulsed Light)' Technology:
This technology ensures more effective, often painless hair removal—even for men with thick body hair or people with stubborn ingrown hairs.
While other brands rely on high-intensity treatments that can cause skin irritation or even burns and blisters, our Silk’n 7 hair removal device takes a gentler, smarter approach. By combining optical and galvanic energy to open the pores, it delivers the best results with lower intensity—making the process not only safer but also more comfortable for your skin.

Another feature that sets our IPL device apart from others is the 360° rotating head. With 6 adjustable angles you can treat your entire body and target those tricky areas, like the bikini line and upper lip, comfortably and with great precision.
Setting it up is simple and intuitive, thanks to the unlock button at the base of the head. You can move the device freely and remove unwanted hair from every angle of your body.
This feature has been praised across a range of reviews—from influencers and experts to everyday users like you and me.
We don’t stop at rotating heads! Silk'n 7 also comes with three different attachments, each designed for specific areas and needs.
An IPL device that outperforms one with 'Fast' in its name? Discover why the Silk’n 7 is even faster and will deliver you the best hair removal experience:
Many users expect instant results, but real improvements take time. Reality is it doesn’t work in just a week time. Hair removal works with your natural growth cycle, and customer feedback shows that the best results become visible around the three-month mark. This timing aligns perfectly with how your skin and hair regenerate.

Everyone is talking about IPL hair removal these days. It sounds interesting, but do you know how IPL hair removal works? And maybe you are wondering, “Is IPL hair removal right for me?” In this blog we will answer all of your questions related to IPL hair removal at home.
The Silk’n 7 hair removal device offers a complete solution and long-lasting results without the hassle, high costs, or discomfort of other methods:
Contrary to popular belief, IPL (specifically eHPL in our case) is not a laser. While both use light to treat the skin, IPL emits multiple wavelengths in quick flashes, whereas lasers use a focused beam. This makes IPL less intense but more versatile. IPL can cover larger areas, offers faster recovery times, has a lower risk of complications, and, not least, comes at a much lower cost.
A common misconception is that "permanent results" mean hair will never grow back.
Our bodies have billions of hair follicles, many of which are dormant and can become active due to factors like pregnancy, menopause, or medication. This can make it seem like hair is returning, but it's actually new hair growing.
While treatments prevent regrowth, they can't stop new hair from forming. Just like professional treatments, you’ll need follow-ups. But the beauty of owning a hair removal device at home is that you have it for life, ready to touch up those spots whenever you need.
Everyone's hair growth cycle is different. Your hair follicles go through three different phases: anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). The anagen phase is the only stage where treatments can deliver permanent results.
Since you can’t see which phase your follicles are in from the surface, consistent use is essential. Hair cycles through these phases over 2 to 6 months, so regular treatments help catch more hairs in the anagen phase.
eHPL technology from Silk'n 7 provides a safer experience with lower energy levels, delivering long-term hair removal results at a fraction of the energy level used in other lightbased hair removal devices. This is made possible by our combination of galvanic energy (opens pores gently) and optical energy (penetrates without burning your skin).
Read all about the myths vs. reality in our dedicated blog post: Does IPL hair removal hurt? Myths vs. Reality
Light-based hair removal isn't suitable for tanned and dark skin, but our device includes a built-in skin color sensor that adjusts energy levels based on your skin tone. By using lower energy, we reduce the risk of harm or complications, ensuring your safety. Additionally, the treatment surface is recessed inside the device to prevent direct contact with your skin.
No special eyewear is required! Our device includes an eye protection feature: flashes only emit when the treatment surface is in contact with your skin, keeping your eyes safe during use.
Silk’n 7 hair removal device is equipped with a built-in skin sensor and has 5 energy levels (1 the lowest, 5 the highest). How do you choose the energy level for your skin?
For more detailed usage and safety instructions, consult our manual.
We recommend treating once every two weeks for the first two months. This schedule works for most people, though those with faster hair growth may benefit from more frequent treatments.
After the first two months, most people will start to see results, often as quickly as two or three sessions. What you’ll notice is that hair growth slows down, and you might even see bald patches in the treated areas, which indicates the treatment is working. Once you enter maintenance mode, you can treat monthly or as needed. It’s important to stick to this schedule, as skipping treatments can cause dormant hair to resurface, making it seem like hair is growing back, when in fact it’s new hair emerging.
Make sure to shave before your treatment—that's a common myth we want to clear up.
Some salons recommend leaving a bit of stubble, but that's because their devices operate at higher energy levels, and it helps the technician to see the treatment area. With our device, hair should be completely removed beforehand for the best results. Users who left hair on the skin weren’t seeing optimal results.
Do not wax, tweeze or use depilatory creams as these methods may detach the root leaving nothing left to treat. Shaving gets rid of the hair on the surface of the skin but keeps the root intact; when the IPL finds the root, it’s disabled and won’t grow back.
Treatments can be started anytime, but the best time is in the fall or winter since sun exposure should be avoided during sessions. Start now, and by the time spring and summer arrive, your skin will be silky smooth - leaving you with only one thing to worry about: planning your next beach trip!
For your safety, we recommend avoiding the use of IPL after sun exposure. Sun exposure increases melanin levels and these higher melanin levels can make your skin more vulnerable to light-based hair removal methods. To minimize risks, avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after your treatment.
To get the best results, we suggest starting your treatments in the fall or winter, so you can enjoy clean, healthy, and smooth skin by summer. If you prefer to continue treatment in summer, focus on areas not exposed to the sun, like underarms.
We advise you not to use our hair removal devices when pregnant or nursing, for the simple reason that we have not tested the devices on pregnant or nursing women. Because our hair removal devices are medical devices we exclude pregnant or nursing women from our test panel.
For more information on which medical conditions prevent you from using the device, be sure to consult our manual.
You can safely treat your bikini line with the IPL hair removal device (we advise to use the attachement size 2.5 cm²), but do not use the device on the genitals.
You should not treat on tattoos, large dark moles or permanent makeup as the IPL light is attracted to pigment and may cause discomfort or adverse reactions. We suggest using white medical tape to cover these areas and carefully working around them for safe hair removal.
Yes, our Silk'n 7 hair removal device is perfect for men. Men’s hair is usually thicker, coarser, and more deeply rooted. That’s why the Silk’n 7 is a great choice. Its galvanic energy helps open the pores, allowing the light to reach the hair more effectively. One of our male customers even shared that he got rid of all his ingrown hairs!

Silk’n 7 is a light based hair removal device. It’s able to reduce unwanted hair on the body and face permanently with its eHPL™ technology. This is a new technology to remove unwanted hair and works with Galvanic and Optical Energy.
eHPL™ technology = Galvanic Energy + Optical Energy. These energies are emitted by the device simultaneously, but each has a distinct function. The Galvanic Energy opens the pores, ensuring that the Optical Energy has easy access to the hair follicles. The Optical Energy is absorbed by the hair shaft and provides permanent hair reduction, quickly and efficiently. After your treatment, take advantage of your skin's open pores by applying a nourishing body lotion that will absorb deeply, leaving you with beautifully smooth skin.
eHPL™ technology is emitted from the device through a light pulse. To activate eHPL™ technology, ensure that your hand touches the electrode plates found on the sides of the handle and place the lamp fully on the skin. When the pulse button is pressed, the eHPL™ technology is automatically emitted through the glass window to treat the hair.
When in the 7 shaped position, you are able to rotate the handle 3 positions to the left, and 3 to the right. When in the extended position, do not use extra force when the head doesn't rotate. Instead, turn the head in the other direction.
The Silk'n 7 includes 3 attachments: 1 Small (1cm2), 1 Medium (2.5cm2), 1 Large (5.1cm2)
The Small (1cm2) attachment is perfect for hard-to-reach areas like the upper lip and sideburns, allowing for precise and controlled hair removal. The Medium (2.5cm2) attachment is ideal for smaller areas such as the underarms and bikini line, ensuring precise and gentle treatment. The Large (5.1cm2) attachment is designed for larger areas like the arms, legs, and back, providing quick and efficient hair removal.
To remove an attachment from the Silk'n 7, place your hand on top of the attachment with your palm facing the front of the attachment and wrap your fingers around it firmly. Detach the attachment by pulling downwards. Watch this instructional video for further clarification: https://youtu.be/GwjZUD7nakE
The Silk'n 7 is suitable for both women and men with a wider range of skin tones and hair colors. For more details, please view the Hair and Skin Color chart on our website. You can also find this chart on each packaging. This device is not designed for everyone's condition, therefore please read the contraindications in the user manual in their entirety before starting treatments.
The Silk'n 7 is most suitable for hair colors that contain melanin, to absorb the light energy. It is least suitable for very blond, red, grey, or white hairs.
The lowest energy level of the Silk'n 7 (level 1) is designed for safe use even after sun exposure. If you use energy levels 2-5, avoid further exposure to the sun for 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after your treatment. This applies to all skin types, even those that don't seem to tan quickly. We don't advise it, but if you have to go out in the sun after a treatment, be sure to apply sunscreen SPF 30 or higher to the treated area. Do this for 2 weeks after a treatment.
In general, the Silk'n 7 can be used on the body and face, except for the eye area, nipples, and genitals. For all exceptions to the rule due to skin conditions and/or diseases, please read the user manual carefully (can be found online and in the package of the product).
With Silk’n safety comes first. eHPL™ technology is able to achieve permanent hair reduction results at a fraction of the energy level used in professional light-based hair removal equipment. The low energy used in Silk’n hair removal devices reduces its potential to cause harm or complications, and contributes to your overall safety.
Most users report no pain at all or just a feeling a slight sensation of warmth and tingling when a light pulse is emitted. Users with thicker and darker hairs may feel slightly more discomfort, but this discomfort subsides once the hair removal session is completed. For your convenience, this device has five energy levels that can be set according to sensitivity and tolerance. It is important that you don't treat the same area of skin more than once per hair removal session as this increases the likelihood of adverse effects. It is also recommended to do a spot test before you treat a specific part of your body, to find the energy level that i most comfortable for your skin.
The Silk'n 7 has a built-in safety sensor which stops the device from emitting a light pulse if your skin tone is too dark for treatment. The Silk'n AutoAdapt skin color sensor ensures that your skin is being protected.
The time can vary depending on the area of the body that is treated. Do you want to remove hair quickly? Silk’n 7 can produce individual light pulses at automatic intervals. This Gliding method is unique, ultra-fast and you can simply glide the device over your skin.
Typical 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.
Maintenance: from time to time some upkeep may be needed if growth is still visible.
To ensure accurate readings and proper functioning of the treatment window and skin color sensor, please make sure they are fully flush against the skin. If you do not see a pulse emitted, please also ensure you are not working under bright lights that may cast shadows on the treatment area, as this can interfere with the sensor's operation.
Contact our Customer Care team if you continue to have concerns.
A typical full hair growth cycle may take 18-24 months. During this time multiple sessions are required in order to achieve permanent hair reduction. The duration of hair removal sessions varies per person according to their body area, hair colour and how the device is used.
Most users report a change in hair growth within 3 or 4 treatments. However, as with any light-based or laser hair removal device, results are not immediate. In fact, hair may sometimes appear to be growing back after a hair removal session, but typically after two weeks many of these hairs will simply fall out. Additionally, hair grows in three different stages and only hairs in an active growth stage will be affected. Thus, hairs that are not active cannot be targeted. This is one of the main reasons why multiple sessions are required to achieve the desired result.
Silk'n Infinity Fast contains many light pulses - enough for many full-body treatments - no cartridges are needed. Therefore, they are not available. There is no need to ever purchase a refill, saving you even more money!
Yes. For better results and product experience it is recommended to shave before and between treatments. We do not recommend waxing, plucking or tweezing the hair out because the hair shaft will be removed and therefore cannot be treated.
If you do not wish to shave your face, we suggest using a trimmer or small cosmetic scissors to clip the hair as close as possible to the surface of the skin.
It is quite common for hair to appear as if it is still growing up to two weeks after a hair removal session. This process is known as “ejection”, and after about two weeks you’ll see that these hairs simply fall out. Please note, do not pull out the treated hairs – just let them fall out naturally.
It is also possible that some hairs, due to missed application or different stages of growth, were not affected by previous treatments. These hairs will be treated in follow-up sessions, hence the reason multiple hair removal sessions are required to achieve the best results.
The Silk'n 7 is recommended for use by adults. For adolescents, we advise starting treatment post-puberty and under adult supervision.
No, do not use this device when you are pregnant or nursing.
