Below is a set of before and after pictures from one person that used the Silk’n Sensepil on their underarms. These results are pretty astounding considering the inexpensiveness and ease of use. These results are suppose to by typical and similar to what most users will see.

The Silk’n SensEpil is a great and innovative product but unfortunately it does not come without limitations. The main limitation of the SensEpil, it’s inability to work with certain skin tones, is what I am going to talk about today.
The SensEpil works best for those that have a light tone while it is harmful to those with dark skin complexions. For light skinned individuals it works normally while a dark complected person who uses it will experience burns, blisters, and potential changes in skin color (hyper pigmentation).
Unfortunately for those with dark complexions there isn’t much of a solution. Due to a higher concentration of melanin darker skin just doesn’t respond well to laser hair removal treatments.
Once you have the SensEpil you can use the built-in sensor to determine whether your skin is light enough for treatment. This is more applicable to those that know their skin is normally light enough but their current tan may have made it to dark.
Those that are looking to purchase the Silk’n SensEpil should instead consult the Fitzpatrick Skin Tone Classification Scale below in order to see whether their skin is light enough for the Silk’n Sensepil.

The Silk’n Sensepil has been designed to be used mainly on peoples legs, arms, bikini line, and underarms. Using it on any of these areas is considered completely safe and highly effective.
Outside of these most common and prescribed areas it has also been used by some on the chin, face, and pubic region. When using the Silk’n Sensepil on ones face the user’s manual directs individuals to only use it from the cheek line down. It also is important that when using it on your face you are extremely cautious in being sure avoid setting off the pulse anywhere near your eyes. As with all laser lights, the Sensepils HPL lighting is known to be extremely harmful on the eyes.
As for the other parts of the body where hair grows it is rather inconclusive as to how safe and effective it is. Since the Sensepil isn’t technically made for other areas of the body we cannot get confirmation from the company about its safety and effectiveness in these other areas. Due to this all we have to go on is user reviews. Some user reviews we have found claim that the SeneEpil does work on other areas but again this is unconfirmed.
Use the Sensepil at your own risk in areas outside of what is recommended in the owner’s manual.

Some people who use the Sensepil get frustrated when they don’t see results immediately but users need to remember that the Silk’n Sensepil is a laser light-based home hair removal device and therefore it will not provide immediate results. Most people do not understand that laser hair removal is a more permanent solution but takes time to occur as opposed to something like waxing that removes hair immediately but ends with the hair growing back.
Instead of immediate results with the Sensepil you should expect to start seeing some results roughly two weeks after your first treatment. What generally happens is that hair continues to grow for roughly two weeks but then becomes weak at the root and begins to falls out on its own.
After this you may notice some regrowth but generally this is from different hairs. What happens with our bodies is that hair grows in three different stages with each stage being different hairs growing. Since the Sensepil (and all laser hair removal treaments) only works on hairs that are currently growing two-thirds of your hairs didn’t receive any effects from your first treatment and therefore subsequent treatments must be used once these hairs begin to grow.
Overall, you should expect to see some reduction in thickness after 2-4 weeks but in order to get the full results you need to be patient and should expect to wait quite a bit longer.

I just got word recently that Silk’n is so confident about their SensEpil product that they offer a 60 day money back guarantee for anybody that decides they are not satisfied with the effectiveness of the product.
This means that skeptical consumers can now buy the product with minimal risk and return it if they don’t like it.
However I don’t think anybody that uses the product correctly will be returning it. So far we have seen nearly perfect feedback regarding its comfort and effectiveness. This must be why Silk’n is offering the guarantee.
If you do purchase the SensEpil it is important to note that you will be may be charged a restocking fee if you do not return everything in its original packaging, clean, and free of defect.
A 60-day money back guarantee sounds like a pretty darn good deal to me and shows me that this company stands behind its product!

After extensive testing to determine it’s safety the Silk’n Sensepil was approved by the FDA for use in the United States. It is consider to be an extremely safe product if used as directed and it was made with user safety in mind.
As with all products there are potential side effects that can occur. Most of these side affects however are rare and can be avoided by using the product as directed.
Some of the potential but non-serious side effects are listed below:
For other side affects you will need to check out a Silk’n Sensepil user’s/owner’s manual. Unfortunately at this time we have not be able to located an online manual so we are not able to list anymore of the potential side effects.
If you have an owner’s manual we would love to hear from you with a full list of potential side effects.

We recently got the following question by email and wanted to address it in a very short and precise manner… The question was based around whether or not you could use the Silk’n SensEpil while pregnant.
I am 26 old woman married.. i have used silkn for four times and i can say that i am getting results but i want to continue using it for about 2 years as recommended.. the problem is that i am thinking to have a baby but in the instructions they said not to be used by pregnant women. i wonder why because all articles on the internet say that the light wont go deeper than the hair follicles and there is no risks on the fetus.. so i’m confused i want to get pregnant soon also i do not want to stop my sessions now.. by the way i have pale skin and dark body hair and i am using silk’n for all my body except my face and neck.. hope to send me details for my question..
thanks
The quick and easy answer to this question is NO! The Silk’n website very clearly states the following:
Certain conditions may prevent the use of Silk’n SensEpil temporarily. DO NOT USE Silk’n SensEpil if any of the following currently apply to you:
We are not sure of the reason why and it may be best to contact Silk’n for an explanation but we are sticking with the recommendation of not using the SensEpil while pregnant. After all you’ve had hair in unwanted areas for your whole lives can’t you just deal with it for another 9 months for the sake of your baby???

Above is a video that has a lot of really loud and distracting music that is somewhat obnoxious but I felt it was important to include it. This video is a looks comparison between the Sensepil and the Tria. The Tria is a home hair removal product that is very similar to the Sensepil.
