9. When will I see the fi rst results with the BaByliss Homelight epilator?
Like all other photo-epilation methods, the results are not immediate; you may even have the
impression that nothing is happening. The hair will sometimes appear to continue growing after a
session, but after two weeks, most of this hair will simply fall out. This is why you will need to have a
several sessions before achieving the expected result.
10. Can men use the Homelight epilator ?
The Homelight epilator can be used by men. However, men's hair, especially chest hair, will require
more sessions to achieve the desired results.
11. Why does hair grow back in the area that I treated last week?
It is quite common for hair to appear to continue to grow for one to two weeks after a depilation
session with the Homelight epilator. This process is known as 'ejection' . After two weeks, you will
nonetheless notice that this hair falls out or comes away from its follicle. That said, we recommend
you do not pull the hair from the follicle – let it fall out naturally. Moreover, some hair will not be
aff ected by the Homelight epilator either because of poor application or because the hair was in its
dormant phase. This hair will be treated in the following sessions, hence the need for several sessions
to achieve the expected results with the Homelight epilator.
12. I've heard that some hair grows back lighter and fi ner after photo-epilation. Is this true?
This phenomenon is well documented by beauticians and doctors who use pulsed light appliances
for depilation treatments. It is possible that some hair grows back lighter and fi ner after an Homelight
epilator session. Generally, this hair only represents an tiny part of the original hair growth, treatments
should therefore be continued to achieve the desired result.
13. Is long-term use of the Homelight epilator dangerous for my skin?
Over the last 15 years, the use of the pulsed light in aesthetic medicine has been well documented
in professional journals. These journals and institutions have not reported any side eff ects or injuries
connected with long-term use of pulsed light appliances.
14. Can I use the Homelight epilator to eliminate chin or facial hair?
Homelight epilator from BaByliss allows facial hair removal (cheeks, upper lip, and chin), but only if the
special face fi lter provided for this purpose (only available on selected models) is used. However, the
Homelight epilator may not be used for epilation of eyelashes, eyebrows or head hair. Please wear a pair
of protective glasses when using.
15. How long should I wait before using the Homelight epilator if I am not protected from the
sun's rays?
You should avoid exposure to the sun before and after treatment with the Homelight epilator no matter
which part of the body has been treated. You must use suitable protection, e.g., a covering garment or a
sun cream (with a protection factor of 50+) which you should then use regularly for three weeks before
and after treatment. Ideally, you should wait 4 weeks before using the Homelight epilator if you have
been exposed to the sun without protection. If you have the least doubt about exposure to the sun
consult your doctor or contact the BaByliss customer service.
16. What should I do before I use the Homelight epilator?
Before each session with the Homelight epilator, it is important that the area to be treated has not
