• If your skin is suitable for treatment i-LIGHT will provide a flash and the LED lights on the side of
the hand piece will illuminate white. The number of lights illuminated will indicate your Skin Tone.
• If your skin is too dark for treatment, you will receive a low energy flash followed by four audible
beeps and the LED lights on the side of the hand piece will illuminate red.
• If you believe your skin is suitable based on the Skin Tone Chart (Fig 1), but the device flashes and
four audible beeps follow, try another treatment area.
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 .
1. Place the i-LIGHT hand piece against your skin so the Flash Window is flush with the skin surface.
2. Ensure the Skin Contact Sensors are fully engaged and that the LED lights illuminate white.
3. Select your preferred mode and press the flash button to deliver a flash.
TIP: As mild to moderate discomfort is normal, you may want to start with Sensitive Mode only
switching to Power Mode when you feel comfortable in doing so.
4. Wait 24 hours and then look at the test area. If the skin appears normal, proceed with your first full
treatment using the mode that you determined is right for you.
NOTE: You must test the device on each area of the face or body you wish to treat.
SELECTING THE OPERATING MODE
• The integrated SKIN TONE TESTER on the treatment head will set the appropriate power level for
each setting based on the skin tone registered.
• This i-LIGHT device has 3 different operating modes, Power Mode (Full Power), Sensitive Mode
and Express Mode. The unit will be in Power Mode when it is turned ON. It will flash approximately
every 3 seconds on Power Mode and Sensitive Mode and less than 1 second on Express Mode.
Power Mode
H
Power Mode (Full Power) will provide the highest power levels that are appropriate for you. This
mode is ideal for treating both larger and smaller areas. Power Mode will give you the best hair
removal results in fewer treatments, but may be less comfortable.
Sensitive Mode
G
Sensitive Mode is for those who find the Power Mode to be too intense. Sensitive Mode is a less
powerful mode available for those who are sensitive to discomfort but still desire to remove
unwanted hair. With this mode you may have to do a few more treatments to see desired results.
Express Mode
F
Express Mode provides the user with a time friendly option for treatments. You may treat larger areas
with this mode at a faster rate, but it may be less effective and will take a few more treatments to see
the desired results.
NOTE: Whenever the device is turned on, it automatically defaults to Power Mode (Full Power).
• If you wish to select an alternative mode, press and hold the desired button to illuminate it.
• Once you have decided and chosen which operating mode is right for you, put the treatment
window firmly against your skin.
• The device is now ready to trigger the first flash. To deselect the Sensitive or Express Mode, simply
press the selected button again and the unit will revert back to Power Mode with only the Flash
Button illuminated.
