Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Silk'n 7 device, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

| No light pulse emitted. | Poor skin contact, incorrect skin tone, or device malfunction. | Ensure the treatment surface is in full contact with the skin. Check if your skin tone is suitable for the selected energy level (refer to AutoAdapt mode). If issues persist, contact customer support. |
| Skin irritation after use. | Energy level too high, sensitive skin, or improper pre-treatment. | Reduce the energy level. Ensure skin is clean and dry before treatment. Apply a soothing lotion after treatment if needed. Perform a patch test before full treatment. |
