GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH i-LIGHT
What is i-LIGHT?
The i-LIGHT system is a revolutionary light-based device designed for the removal of unwanted body hair and female
facial hair at home.
i-LIGHT utilises similar clinically-proven technology that professional dermatologists and salons use, optimised for
personal treatment.
What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and how does i-LIGHT work?
IPL - (Intense Pulsed Light) is a well-established technology used worldwide for over 15 years. i-LIGHT uses this
technology to flash your skin with an intense pulse of light.
The pulse works under the skin's surface to target hairs at the root, helping to stop their growth (Fig 4).
The energy in the pulse of light targets dark colouring, and best results are seen on darker hair.
To avoid targeting (and possibly damaging) dark skin, you should only use i-LIGHT on light to medium skin tones (I-IV).
What to expect from i-LIGHT
Results aren't immediate, and individual results vary. Most users will begin to notice fewer hairs within 1-2 weeks after
beginning treatment. During this time it may look like the hair is still growing, but it is actually being 'pushed out' (Fig.
5).
Hair grows in a cycle of 3 different phases which lasts 18-24 months (Fig. 6). Only hairs in the active growth phase are
susceptible to treatment, which is why multiple treatments are required for optimal results.
It's important to continue with the full treatment regime and top-up treatments to ensure that every active hair is
treated.
Treatment Regime
A full treatment regime is once every two weeks for three treatments. Individual results may vary, so multiple
treatments may be required for optimal results. Some hair growth will occur that is less dense, finer and lighter in
colour than the original hair. This regrowth is perfectly normal and should be expected. After completing the full
treatment regime, top-up treatments of once every four weeks will provide even better results. Continuous regular
treatment every four weeks will give good results within 8-12 weeks (darker skin tones may take longer). Do not use
more than once every two weeks. NOTE: You should avoid treating the same area multiple times in one session, as it
will not improve effectiveness but increases the risk of skin irritation.
FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH YOUR i-LIGHT
Flash Window with built-in UV skin protection (Fig. 7)
WARNING: always inspect the Flash Window before use to ensure there is no damage to the lens.
WARNING: always clean the Flash Window before use with the lint-free cloth provided to ensure there is no oil or debris
on the lens.
Skin Contact Sensors (Fig. 8)
This safety mechanism prevents accidental flashing. The device will not flash unless both Skin Contact Sensors are in full
contact with the skin.
Flash Button
The Flash Button is located on the hand piece. This is used to activate a flash.
Skin Tone Sensor
Will only allow usage on suitable skin tones.
PREPARING FOR USE
CHECK YOUR SKIN TONE
•
Consult the skin and hair chart at the front of this manual to ensure your skin is in the suitable range and your hair
colour is susceptible to treatment with i-LIGHT.
•
Place the skin of your intended treatment area onto the skin sensor – ensure the skin is touching the sensor (Fig. 9).
•
If your skin is suitable, you will hear a 'beep' and the i-LIGHT will switch on.
