ENGLISH
•
If your skin is unsuitable, you will hear a 'buzz' and the i-LIGHT will remain switched off.
NOTE: You must use the skin sensor on each body part you wish to treat.
PREPARE YOUR SKIN FOR TREATMENT
•
Ensure the area to be treated is clean and free from oils, deodorants, perfume, make up, lotions and creams. Shave
the hair from the area to be treated, and ensure the skin is clean and dry.
•
For facial use, you may prefer to trim the hair. If trimming; the hair must be trimmed to less than 0.5mm.
•
Never use wax, epilation, tweezers or other methods that remove the hair from the root as IPL is not effective if the
hair has been pulled out.
PREPARE THE i-LIGHT FOR USE
•
Unwrap the hand piece cord from the i-LIGHT base and rest the hand piece back on the base unit.
•
Ensure the power switch on the base unit is OFF.
•
Connect the power cord to the i-LIGHT base unit at the power inlet.
•
Connect the power cord to the wall outlet. Turn the power switch ON.
SELECTING THE ENERGY LEVEL
•
The i-LIGHT is equipped with 5 energy levels. Level 1 is the lowest setting and level 5 is the highest setting.
•
TIP: For the most effective results, always use the highest energy level that does not cause discomfort on the skin.
•
To determine the energy level being used, observe the number of lights illuminated on the Energy Level Display.
•
Your i-LIGHT will automatically be set to Energy Level 1 each time the device is powered ON. To change the level,
press the Energy Level Selection Button.
TEST THE i-LIGHT ON YOUR SKIN
•
Before your first full treatment, test the i-LIGHT on a small patch of skin and wait 24 hours to ensure there are no
adverse reactions.
•
Start at energy level 1.
•
Place the i-LIGHT hand piece against your skin so the Flash Window is flush with the skin surface.
•
Ensure the Skin Contact Sensors are fully engaged and the Bulb Status Indicator Display is illuminated green.
•
Press the Flash Button to deliver a flash.
•
Mild to moderate discomfort is normal. If a flash delivered at Energy Level 1 feels tolerable, increase to Energy Level
2. Move the device to a different spot and flash the i-LIGHT one more time. Repeat this process until you find the
setting that feels right for you.
•
Wait 24 hours and then look at the test area. If the skin appears normal, proceed with your first full treatment at the
energy level you determined is right for you.
•
NOTE: You must test the device on each area of the face or body you wish to treat.
TREATMENT
•
Multi-Flash Mode: The i-LIGHT device will flash when the Flash Button is pressed and will continue to flash every 3
seconds when the skin contact sensors are fully engaged. The Multi-Flash mode allows you to quickly treat large
areas by simply gliding the hand piece over the skin after each flash.
How to treat:
•
Place the Flash Window firmly against the skin - ensure the Skin Contact Sensors are fully engaged.
•
NOTE: When the Skin Contact Sensors are fully engaged you will hear a 'chirp' and the Bulb Status Indicator Display
will illuminate green.
•
Press the flash button to deliver a flash. You should expect to see a bright flash of light (similar to a camera flash) and
you should feel a mild sensation of warmth.
•
Move to the next area and treat in a grid like pattern to ensure full coverage of the treatment area.
•
For Single-Flash Mode, press the Flash Button each time you move to the next area.
•
For Multi-Flash Mode, keep your finger on the Flash Button to keep it depressed and glide to the next area being
sure to keep the Skin Contact Sensors fully engaged. The next flash will be delivered automatically after 3 seconds.
•
NOTE: During Multi-Flash Mode if you let go of the Flash Button or lose skin contact, simply resume treatment by
repeating the above steps.
