6. At what frequency should I use the Homelight epilator?
The first 4 sessions with the Homelight epilator should be 2 weeks apart. Next sessions should be 4 weeks
apart untill you achieve the desired results.
7. Is the Homelight epilator effective on white, grey or blond hair?
The Homelight epilator is most effective on dark hair or on those containing more melanin. Melanin, the
pigment that gives colour to skin and hair, absorbs optical energy. Black and dark brown hair respond best
to the treatment. If brown and light brown hair also responds, these will need a few more sessions. Red hair
may also respond partially to the treatment. Generally, white, grey or blond hair does not respond to the
treatment, but some users have noticed results after several depilation sessions.
8. Can I use the Homelight epilator on brown or black skin?
Do not use the appliance on naturally dark skin! The Homelight epilator eliminates hair by targeting the
follicular pigment. Pigments are also found in varying quantities in the surrounding dermal tissues. The
quantity of pigments in a person's dermis, visible through the colour of the skin, defines the level of risk to
which he or she is exposed by using the Homelight epilator. Treating dark skin with the Homelight epilator
may involve risks like burns, blisters and changes in skin colour (hyper- or hypopigmentation).Please consult
the table showing the different phototypes and the use recommended according to these types in the
section 'Use'
9. When will I see the first results with the BaByliss Homelight epilator?
Like all other photo-epilation methods, the results are not immediate; you may even have the impression
that nothing is happening. The hair will sometimes appear to continue growing after a session, but after
two weeks, most of this hair will simply fall out. This is why you will need to have a several sessions before
achieving the expected result.
10. Can men use the Homelight epilator ?
The Homelight epilator can be used by men. However, men's hair, especially chest hair, will require more
sessions to achieve the desired results.
11. Why does hair grow back in the area that I treated last week?
It is quite common for hair to appear to continue to grow for one to two weeks after a depilation session
with the Homelight epilator. This process is known as 'ejection'. After two weeks, you will nonetheless
notice that this hair falls out or comes away from its follicle. That said, we recommend you do not pull the
hair from the follicle – let it fall out naturally. Moreover, some hair will not be affected by the Homelight
epilator either because of poor application or because the hair was in its dormant phase. This hair will be
treated in the following sessions, hence the need for several sessions to achieve the expected results with
the Homelight epilator.
12. I've heard that some hair grows back lighter and finer after photo-epilation. Is this true?
This phenomenon is well documented by beauticians and doctors who use pulsed light appliances for
depilation treatments. It is possible that some hair grows back lighter and finer after an Homelight epilator
session. Generally, this hair only represents an tiny part of the original hair growth, treatments should therefore
be continued to achieve the desired result.
