I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Silk’n. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and promotional item as a thank you for participating.
Well, I suspect that many of you reading this have had to deal with unwanted hair growth. Most women don’t talk about it, and deal with it in the confines of their bathroom. Some try to hide it from friends and family… even their husbands. Whether you have extra hairy arms, a “treasure trail”, a stray hair (or 10) on your chest or pesky hairs that grow on your chin like me, you want it gone! Shaving, plucking, waxing, and depilatory creams are all ways to get rid of unwanted hair growth at home. However, if you want to get rid of the hair permanently, you need to get laser hair removal. This can be costly, and going to the doctor’s office is embarrassing.
Recently, I was lucky enough to try the Silk’n Flash&Go. What is it? Well, it is an FDA cleared light-based technology for permanent hair removal/ reduction for the entire body. Best part? You do it yourself, in your own home! With just two to four self-treatment sessions, most Silk’n Flash&Go users experience visually diminished hair, comparable to professional hair removal results. It is easy to use, safe, affordable, and dermatologist recommended.
I have used the Silk’n Flash&Go three times so far. I didn’t notice too much after the first treatment. After the second treatment, I noticed a bit less hair on my armpits, and I could go an extra day before needing to shave there. After the third treatment, I have now noticed that there are large areas on my legs that don’t have hair. It seems that it is working on the areas furthest from bone first. In other words, I have hair on and near my shin bones, but the backs of my calves don’t have hair! Nice! Of course, my pesky chin hair is being difficult. I realize that the hair on my chin is obviously close to bone, so I am assuming this is the issue, and I am not giving up.
Tip #1: Read (and follow) the instructions! Simple enough, but sometimes you can get too excited about a product and just start using it before reading all of the instructions. The instruction pamphlet has important safety information and testing instructions.
Tip #2: Don’t skip the testing! You need to test each area before using the Silk’n Flash&Go. You do this by placing it on the skin of that area and pressing the button once. If you are going to have any issues using the product, you will find out in the testing phase.
Tip #3: Choose the appropriate level! There are 5 levels on this product, and you are probably not going to use the same level on all parts of your body. For example, I could use level 5 on my legs and level 3 on my underarms and chin. If you use too high of a level, it may hurt, and this product should not hurt!
Out of box, the Silk’n Flash&Go will last for 5,000 pulses. Purchase the upgrade kit and get an additional 120,000 pulses – enough to permanently remove most hair on your body!
Would I recommend Silk’n Flash&Go?
Short answer? Yes! Long answer? Yes, yes, yes! I am not finished with it yet, but I can see the potential to rid myself of all of my unwanted hair… permanently. Who wouldn’t want that?

On which part of your body would you like to use Silk’n Flash&Go?
Thanks for sharing your story. As I get older I am finding more hair in places that it just shouldn't be. Right now I tweeze but am always looking for new and better ways to get rid of it.
That is the thing, Brandy... as I'm getting older, the hair is starting to show up everywhere!!!
Definitely, Kelly! Of course, you can always use it on your legs and never have to shave them again!
I keep hearing about Epilators and this sounds like one of the much better performing ones. There are a few little hairs on my thighs and above my lip that pester me so since I got into my 30's. I would love to try this!
Oh my goodness! What a cool tool! I don't really have facial hair, but I did when I was pregnant - on my cheeks! Crazy!!
Wow. I know that I can use that and so could a few others I know.
I have white fuzzy hair on my face, which is only a problem in the summer when the sun is shining directly on it. That's the only time it's noticeable, but it still makes me so self-conscious. I may have to try this myself.
I think anything that helps you feel better about the way you look is a good idea!
