Q. What are the risks involved with i-LIGHT. Is it safe?
A. i-LIGHT is proven to be safe and effective, but like any electronic device it is important that you read and follow the
operating instructions and safety warnings.
Q. Is IPL dangerous for the skin after long term use?
A. There have not been any reported side effects or skin damage from long term use of intense pulse light (IPL)
Q. Why is my hair growing despite treatments?
A. 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'.
Hair grows in a cycle of 3 different phases which lasts 18-24 months. Only hairs in the active growth phase are
susceptible to treatment, which is why multiple treatments are required for optimal result. Another reason for
continued growth could be that the area was missed during a treatment. Repeat the treatment regime when you
notice regrowth.
Q. Why can't I use i-LIGHT after recent sun exposure?
A. Sun exposure causes high levels of melanin to be present and exposes the skin to higher risk of burns or blisters
following treatment.
Q. Do I need eye protection while using i-LIGHT?
A. No, it is not harmful to the eyes. i-LIGHT features a safety system which prevents unintentional flashing when the
device is not in contact with the skin. The small amount of light emitted during treatment is similar to that of a
camera flash and is not harmful to the eyes. The specially designed Treatment Caps minimise light leakage. If the
reflected light is unpleasant, you may want to close your eyes before each flash.
