Q. What are the risks involved with i-Light? Is it safe?
A. i-Light is safe to use, but like any electronic device it is important that you read and follow the
operating instructions.
Q. How often should I use i-Light?
A. You should use i-Light whenever you start to see hair regrowth.
F DO NOT treat the same area more than once a week.
Q. How long do treatments take?
A. Time varies based on the size of the area being treated, but one full leg should take no more than
15 minutes.
Q. When will I begin to see results?
A. Results are not immediate. Hair may sometimes appear to be growing back after treatment but many
of these hairs will begin to fall out after two weeks.
Hair grows in a cycle of 3 different phases which lasts 18-24 months. Only hairs in the anagen phase are
susceptible to treatment, which is why multiple treatments are required for optimal results. The results
are generally noticeable within a few weeks of the first treatment. Continuous regular weekly (or every
2 weeks for three treatments) use will give good results within 6 to 12 weeks (darker skin may
take longer).
Q. Why is my hair growing despite treatments?
A. Hair continues to grow for up to 2 weeks after treatment, at which time you will notice the hair
beginning to fall out. Another reason for continued growth could be that the area was missed during a
treatment. Continue to treat the area whenever 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. 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 long-life light cartridge will deliver 65,000 flashes regardless of the energy level selected. While it is
unlikely you will ever need to replace it; it can be replaced by another long-life cartridge (SP-6000FQ).
Please contact your local Remington® Service Centre.
Q. Can I use i-Light on my face?
A. i-Light is suitable for female facial use only below the cheekbone when used with the facial
treatment head.
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, grey 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 colour changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
Review the skin colour chart on page 3 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 (Body treatment head only). 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 tuned facial treatment head minimises light leakage. If the
reflected light is unpleasant, you may want to close your eyes before each flash.
Q. Can I use i-Light if I am pregnant or nursing?
A. No. i-Light has not been tested on pregnant women, therefore we do not recommend using i-Light if
you are pregnant or breast feeding. Hormonal changes could increase sensitivity and the risk of injury
to the skin.
