DO NOT
use if taking a photosensitising medication or herbal remedy
without seeking medical advice as the flash may harm the skin.
•
DO NOT
use on the face if you have a history of cold sores; use of IPL or any
treatment that irritates skin can cause a recurrence of cold sores.
CAUTION:
Avoid treating areas that contain only vellus hairs (very thin, fine hair
known as “peach fuzz”) as this may result in undesired hair re-growth.
•
If you’ve had professional or clinical or self-administered laser or IPL or
electrolysis hair removal treatments, wait at least 6 months before using
i-LIGHT®. If you’ve waxed, plucked or epilated hair in the treatment area,
wait at least 6 weeks before using i-LIGHT®. The device uses the hair under
your skin to disable your hair at the root, so it is not effective if the hair has
been pulled out.
•
DO NOT
use directly over or near Active Implantable Medical Devices
such as implantable pacemakers, internal defibrillators, or insulin devices.
Although no problems associated with the use of this device have been
reported during clinical studies, it is recommended to observe all active
implantable medical device warnings regarding the use of electronic
devices to prevent any failure or interruption of an active implantable
device.
•
DO NOT
use over or near anything artificial such as silicon implants,
Implanon contraceptive implants, pacemakers, injectable fillers (eg. botox),
subcutaneous injection ports (insulin dispenser) or piercings.
•
DO NOT
use over or near fillings or dental implants.
•
Wireless communications equipment may affect the i-LIGHT® device and
should be kept at least 3.3m away.
