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.
i-LIGHT is intended for use on light, medium and dark skin tones (skin tones I-V).
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 initial treatment
regime, top-up treatments will provide even better results. Continuous regular treatment every two weeks will give
good results within 6-12 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.
