Q. What areas of my body can I treat with i-LIGHT?
A. i-LIGHT is designed for unisex use on areas below the neck, including the legs, underarms, bikini line,
arms, chest and back.
Q. What are the risks involved with i-LIGHT. Is it safe?
A. i-LIGHT is clinically proven to be safe and effective, but like any electronic device it is important that you
read and follow the operating instructions and safety warnings.
Q. Is IPL 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 (IPL).
Q. Why is my hair growing despite treatments?
A. Results aren’t immediate, and individual results vary. Most users will begin to notice fewer hairs within
1-2 weeks after beginning treatment. During this time it may look like the hair is still growing, but it is
actually being ‘pushed out’.
Hair grows in a cycle of 3 different phases which lasts 18-24 months. Only hairs in the active growth
phase are susceptible to treatment, which is why multiple treatments are required for optimal result.
Another reason for continued growth could be that the area was missed during a treatment. Repeat
the treatment regime when 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. Do I need eye protection while using i- LIGHT ?
A. No, it is not harmful to the eyes. 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.
