FAQ

• What is Silk'n LumiLips?

  Silk’n LumiLips is our LED lip mask designed to tackle pigmentation, enhance volume, and reduce smile and lip lines. Using advanced LED technology, it boosts microcirculation, collagen production, and hydration—bringing out the best in your lips for a rosy, more defined and youthful glow. The result is a fuller and smoother appearance.

• How does LED light work?

  The LED light (red, dark red and amber) is absorbed by the epidermis and dermis, the two upper layers of the skin. This process triggers cellular activity, which helps to renew skin cells and repair ageing tissue. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, stimulates collagen, helps to improve blood circulation and evens the skin tone. After each session, the skin looks more beautiful and radiant than before.
  
  Near-Infrared technology is an invisible light that reaches the deeper layers of the skin and supports the production of collagen and elastin. For more volume and a smoother appearance.

  If you experience any discomfort, stop using the device and contact your physician. We recommend reading the user manual before starting your session.

• How should I use the Silk'n LumiLips?

• Should I apply a serum or cream before the session?

  Some skincare products contain ingredients that can be photosensitive or reactive when exposed to LED light. Therefore, we advise performing the session on clean, dry skin, free from any makeup, dirt, serum or cream. Apply a serum or cream after your session to hydrate the skin. However, if you choose to use one beforehand, ensure it is compatible with LED light and fully absorbed before starting your session.

• Can I combine this with the Builder serum or Balancer serum?

  Yes, you can! These serums are specially designed to be used with LED light therapy and can also be incorporated into your daily skincare routine.
  The Builder Serum is formulated to enhance anti-ageing results, while the Balancer Serum helps reduce pigmentation and redness. For more information about these serums, please visit their product pages.

  product for more than 5 minutes per session and max. once a
  day.

• When can I expect results?

  The first results can be expected after 2 weeks of daily use for 5 minutes per day.

• What kind of results can I expect?

  The first results you can expect include improved blood circulation in your lips, which gives them a more vibrant color. You may also notice fewer wrinkles on and around your lips, more defined lip contours, and eventually a fuller, plumper appearance.
  
  Since these results start gradually, we recommend taking a good “before” photo with consistent lighting and checking your progress every 2 weeks. Please note that results can vary from person to person.

• Can I sunbathe?

  Yes. Because Silk’n LumiLips is not a laser, you can sunbathe immediately before or after the session. You don’t necessarily need to use a SPF cream after the session, although this is always recommended due to the general ageing effect of UV light on the skin
