ENGLISH
Q. What are the warnings against using i-Light?
A. Certain conditions may limit your ability to use the unit. Please read the Warnings and Safety Precautions
section in the User Manual in its entirety before using i-Light.
Q. How often do I need to replace the bulb?
A. The bulb needs to be replaced after 1500 flashes. The Bulb Status Indicator Light will illuminate green for
the first 1350 flashes of the cartridge life. It will turn to a yellow light to designate that only 150 flashes
remain. When the light begins to flash the cartridge life is up and you must replace the bulb.
Q. Can I use i-Light on my face?
A. No. i-Light is not recommended for use on the face or the neck.
Q. How do I care for treated areas following treatment?
A. Avoid unprotected sun exposure to the treated areas.
Q. Should I suspend normal activity after using i-Light?
A. There is no need to suspend normal activity following treatment assuming no abnormal complications
occur. It is recommended that you perform the treatment prior to going to bed so that any resulting
redness fades by morning.
Q. Is i-Light 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.
Q. How often should I treat with i-Light?
A. An interval of 2 weeks for the initial treatment, is proven to be the most effective in hair reduction. You
should avoid treating the same area multiple times in one session, as it will not improve efficacy but
increases the risk of skin irritation.
Q. Can I use i-Light if I have blonde, red, gray or white hairs?
A. i-Light works best on darker hair types because they contain more melanin, the pigment that gives hair
and skin its colour. Melanin is what absorbs the light energy used during i-Light treatment. Black and dark
brown hairs respond the best. Brown and light brown hairs will also respond, but typically require more
treatments. Red hairs may show some response. White, grey or blonde hairs usually don't respond to
i-Light treatments, although some users have noted results after multiple treatments.
Q. Can I use i-Light if I have naturally dark skin?
A. No. i-Light is designed to react with the dark pigment of the hair. As a result, dark brown and black skin
may absorb too much of the device's energy (heat), which may cause skin damage. Do not use i-Light
on naturally dark skin, as it contains too much melanin. Treating dark skin with i-Light can result in
burns, blisters and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation). Review the skin color chart on
page 2 to determine if i-Light is right for you.
Q. Do I need eye protection while using i-Light?
A. No, it is not harmful to the eyes, unless it is directed to the face. 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, unless
it is directed to the face.
