TREATMENT TIPS
Body Treatment
• For best results, avoid overlapping flashes. This helps prevent exposure to more energy than is necessary to
suppress hair growth. It also ensures that you get the maximum use of the Bulb.
• For the most effective results, always use the highest intensity operating mode that does not cause discomfort on
the skin. The level you use should feel warm on your skin, but should never cause discomfort.
• You may notice that bony areas, such as elbows, shins and ankles, are more sensitive during treatment. This is
normal and should not be cause for alarm. To avoid this sensitivity, try stretching the skin away from the bony area
during treatment.
Facial Treatment
• Test on a Patch of Skin – since facial skin tends to be more sensitive, make sure you test on a small patch before
proceeding. See section 'Test the i-LIGHT on your skin' for more details.
• Use a Mirror to Guide your Treatments – using a mirror for a good view of the area to be treated and to help ensure
you avoid treating the lips or any other dark spots. If the reflected light is unpleasant, you may want to close your
eyes before each flash.
• Stretch Skin for Better Skin Contact – the contours of the skin may make it difficult for the skin contact sensors to be
fully depressed in certain areas. You may find it easier to try and wrap your upper lip over your teeth or use your
tongue to stretch your cheeks for better skin contact.

POST TREATMENT CARE

After treatment, you may experience slight redness or a warm sensation on your skin. This is normal and will disappear
over time. To avoid irritation to your skin after a treatment, take the following precautions:
• Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours after a treatment. Protect the skin with SPF 30 for 2 weeks after each treatment.
• Do not prolong sun exposure such as sunbathing, using a tanning bed, or self-tan for at least 2 weeks after the last
treatment.
• After treatment, keep the area clean and dry and drink plenty of water to keep skin hydrated.
• Do not take hot baths, showers, or use steam rooms and saunas until any redness or skin sensitivity has returned to
normal.
• Do not depilate (waxing, plucking, threading or creams) during the treatment – shaving is acceptable as long as you
avoid shaving 24 hours after each treatment.
• Do not use bleaching creams or perfumed products for 24 hours after treatment.
300,000 FLASH BULB
• The bulb will deliver 300,000 flashes in its lifetime so regular bulb changing is not needed.
• The bulb in this device is guaranteed to last for the entire guarantee period as stated on the guarantee card
supplied with this product.
Signs that the bulb needs replacing:
• When the bulb has reached 99% of its possible lifetime, one of the LEDs on the side of the hand piece will illuminate
red during power up.
• When the bulb life is exhausted you will no longer be able to use the device.
CLEANING YOUR i-LIGHT DEVICE
F CAUTION Before cleaning your i-LIGHT, make sure that the device is switched OFF and the power cord is
disconnected from the device.
Regular cleaning helps to ensure optimal results and a long life for the i-LIGHT device.
• To clean the Flash Window, use only the lint-free cloth included with your i-LIGHT device. Take care not to scratch or
chip the Flash Window. Scratches and chips can reduce the effectiveness of the unit.

flash window and clean gently with the lint-free cloth provided.
