The Silkn removal process is quite effective on light skin with dark hair. A home device is not fit for persons with dark brown or black skin as melanin absorbs laser energy and gets damaged. But in light hair, no there is sunlight absorption due to the absence of melanin and no hair growth. Though the cost of Silk’n hair remover is approximately $800, it is negligible when compared to the cost of professional cosmetic treatments. If you possess your own personal appliance, you can suitably use it to your convenience by selecting required body areas and can have occasional minor touchups. But for the same function, professionals, charge approximately $5000.
