Using the i-Light Pro IPL System for the First Time
Testing on a Patch of Skin
As with any new skin care product, we
recommend testing on a patch of skin
before your first full treatment, or before
using in any new body area. You may
want to use different energy levels for
different areas since sensitivity may vary
by body part.
Note: you will get better results
by using the system at higher
energy levels.
• Get your skin ready (see page 23) and
unlock the system with the Skin Tone
Sensor (see page 23). The system will
default to energy level 1.
• In energy level 1, treat your skin with
one single flash. Mild to moderate
pain is normal – if you feel more than
moderate pain, stop using immediately
and call customer service (see page 44)
for help.
• If it feels tolerable on energy level 1,
press the energy level button once to
change to energy level 2 (see "setting
the energy level" on page 26). Move the
system to a different spot and flash one
more time. If you don't feel comfortable
using the system at energy level 2, then
energy level 1 is the right setting to
start out with.
• Repeat this process until you find the
setting that feels right for you.
• Wait 24 hours and then look at the test
area. If the skin appears normal, pro-
ceed with your treatment at the setting
that's right for you.
If you notice skin swelling, temporary
blisters or change in the color of your
skin, or any other side effects, or if you
are not sure about the outcome of the
test, do not use and contact Customer
Service (see page 44) or call your doctor
for assistance.
• Repeat the test if you decide to try the
system on a different part of the body,
or if your skin tone has changed (for
example, from a sun tan).
