Silk’n Silhouette anti-cellulite device
Silk’n Silhouette is a device designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite by stimulating collagen production under the skin.
It works thanks to Home Tightening Technology, which we’ll cover below.
But to better understand how the Silk’n Silhouette device works, let’s talk a little about the collagen network and its influence on cellulite.
Our body’s collagen network acts as a support for the epidermis, in conjunction with other tissues such as elastin.
A sedentary lifestyle, with little or no physical exercise, often leads to flaccidity, or skin dysfunction. In other words, the dermis (skin) becomes impoverished, loses its firmness, wrinkles can appear more easily and rapidly, as can cellulite, all the more so if the lifestyle is accompanied by overweight.
Home Tightening” technology uses 3 different energy sources to treat cellulite. Each energy source targets a specific area.
1. Bi-Polar RF (Radio Frequency) energy:
The aim of this energy is to firm the deep layers of the epidermis up to a limit of 10mm, and thus reduce the level of cellulite.
Radiofrequency energy works by triggering controlled heating of the dermis and fatty tissue.
The alternating electromagnetic fields and the electromagnetic wave created by the Silk’n Silhouette device cause the water molecules in the tissue to rotate.
This rotation generates friction, which in turn produces heat through mechanical action.
Epidermal tissue will experience increased thermal tension, activated vasodilation, and drainage of fatty deposits into the lymphatic system, accompanied by heat-induced fat cell death.
This controlled injury triggers the body’s natural inflammatory response, which in turn strengthens the collagen structure.
The results are improved skin, reduced subdermal fat, firmer tissues, and better division and elimination of toxins.
2. LED energy:
Here the target action is skin rejuvenation, as well as a restoration of its natural balance.
The technology used is the LED cold laser, a non-invasive technique for stimulating the emptying of fat cells.
The fatty acids present in these cells are released into the bloodstream, then eliminated through the natural channels of urine and feces.
The combination of bi-polar RF and LED energy is known to deliver optimal results.
3. IR Thermal Energy:
This is a technology using infrared to improve skin texture.
Infrared is widely used in aesthetic dermatology, as it has the ability to increase blood flow, circulation and cell oxygenation, thus promoting regeneration.
What’s more, infrared thermal energy increases metabolism, accelerates the body’s detoxification process, and has an anti-cellulite, anti-water retention and anti-grease action.
How to use the Silk’n Silhouette anti-cellulite device
Silk’n Silhouette has 3 modes corresponding to 3 different power levels, enabling you to modulate the action and results obtained.
We recommend starting with power level 1, then gradually increasing to maximum power.
Silk’n Silhouette should be used on clean, dry skin, ideally after a shower.
Here’s how to proceed, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations:
- Apply a thin layer of Slider gel (supplied with Silk’n Silhouette) to the area to be treated.
Alternatively, apply the gel directly to the surface of the Silk’n Silhouette.
- Select treatment mode. The first LED should light up.
- Slide the device over the skin. You may feel a sensation of warmth on the skin.
- Using light linear movements, glide the device over the area to be treated for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the condition of the area.
For optimum results, we recommend starting with 2 treatments a week for 6 to 10 weeks non-stop.
Once the desired results have been achieved, a maintenance treatment once (1) every two weeks will suffice.
What does science have to say about Silk’n Silhouette?
The manufacturer of Silk’n Silhouette refers to clinical studies carried out to test and evaluate the effects of its anti-cellulite treatment device.
Here’s what it says:
“In addition, Silk’n Silhouette has undergone clinical testing with a high satisfaction rate:
– 80% of participants in clinical tests confirm that they see a clear improvement in their skin.– 80% of participants in clinical tests confirm seeing a clear improvement in skin texture.”
Unfortunately, we could find no trace of these specific clinical trials.
We were forced to widen our search, and found a clinical study that evaluated the effects of a bi-polar RF energy device on cellulite.
In this study, 35 subjects underwent 1 treatment per week on the abdomen, buttocks and thighs, for 6 weeks. They were then monitored for 3 months after stopping treatment.
The results were very convincing:
- Observation of a progressive decline in the various circumferences over the course of the treatments;
- Increased skin firmness;
- Clearly visible results;
- 29% reduction in adipose tissue thickness.
Silk’n Silhouette side effects and contraindications
The Silk’n Silhouette anti-cellulite device is safe thanks to its thermal sensor, which measures the temperature of the skin in the area being treated, and automatically stops the device if this temperature exceeds 41°C.
There are no contraindications to using Silk’n Silhouette.
As with all such devices, it is recommended to keep it away from children.
Testimonials from Silk’n Silhouette users
Many women have tested Silk’n Silhouette and shared their opinions on the web.
According to testimonials, the device is simple, pleasant to use and silent. It provides a slight sensation of warmth and very soft skin from the very first use.
After 8 weeks of treatment, the skin is indeed softer, firmer, more elastic and smoother.
On the other hand, treatments are a little long (up to 15 minutes per zone) and must be carried out rigorously.
Ski’n Silhouette enjoys a good reputation among Internet users.
