Risks
• In rare cases, some users might see
an increase in the number of hairs
growing. This increase is usually
temporary and due to hair growth
cycles. However, if after beginning
use of the Remington iLIGHT device
you believe that the number of hairs
regrowing in the treated area has
increased since you started treat-
ment, stop using the device and
contact Customer Service.
See page 48.
• Skin swelling, especially around the
hair follicle where you may notice
the skin is slightly higher than
surrounding areas. If the swelling
doesn't go away within 2-3 days,
stop using the Remington iLIGHT
Hair Removal System and contact
Customer Service. See page 48.
• Skin discoloration. If you notice that
your skin tone in the treatment area
has changed, stop using the device
and contact Customer Service.
See page 48.
• Eye Injury. Flashing any laser or IPL
device near or around the eyes could
cause serious and permanent eye
injury. This is very unlikely so long
as the device is used below the
neck as indicated.

How Does the Remington iLIGHT
®
Light-based hair removal is a well-
established technology that has been
in use worldwide for over 15 years.
The Remington iLIGHT device uses
this technology to flash your skin with
an intense pulse of light. The energy
in the pulse works under the surface
of your skin to target hairs at the
root, helping to disrupt their growth.
Because the energy in the pulse of
light targets dark coloring, it works
best on darker hair. To avoid targeting
(and possibly damaging) dark skin, you
should use the device only on light-to-
medium skin tones.
How Many Treatments are Needed?
Individual hairs go through a continu-
ous growth cycle with phases of active
growth and phases of rest. Like other
laser or light-based treatments, the
Remington iLIGHT device affects only
hairs that are in the active growth
phase. Your initial regimen should be
spread out over 1 month to ensure that
you target the most number of active

hairs (including those that recently
cycled from the resting phase).
We recommend that you use the
device once every two weeks over the
span of a month, for a total of 3 treat-
ments on each area.
If you have redness, blistering or other
skin irritation in the treatment area, DO
NOT perform treatment. Wait until the
skin returns to normal before using
the Remington iLIGHT device again. If
the irritation does not go away within 3
days, contact Customer Service.
See page 48.
Use the iLIGHT App, or TREATMENT
CARDS to help keep track of your
treatments. See TOC.
Results aren't immediate, but you
should have noticeably fewer hairs
within 1 to 2 weeks after you start
treatment. During this time, it may look
like the hair is still growing, but it is
actually being "pushed out." You may
or may not see these hairs fall out.
