During Treatment
The i-Light® Pro IPL system has been
designed for ease of use, and hair
removal sessions should go by quickly.
During a session it is normal to experi-
ence and feel:
■
A Fan Noise: the fan starts up once the
Skin Tone Sensor is unlocked. The
noise is similar to, but quieter than a
hairdryer. This is normal and is key to
keeping the unit and flash lamp cool.
■
A Flash of Light: the Skin Contact
Sensors ensure that most of the light
is directed into the skin. The remaining
visible light will not harm the eyes
when applied to non-facial sites, and
special eye protection is not needed
as long as you follow directions in this
Use and Care Guide.
■
A Sound with Each Flash: When a flash
of light is activated, it is normal to
hear a subtle “pop” sound as the light
flashes.
■
A Sensation of Warmth and Tingling:
Actual sensations felt by users will
vary by person and body part being
treated. Many people describe each
flash like a rubber band being lightly
snapped against the skin. If the
sensation is too intense or painful, stop
using and contact Customer Service
(page 44).
■
Some Mild Redness: During and
just after your IPL session, it is not
uncommon to see some very mild
redness , mostly noticeable around the
hairs themselves. This is normal and
typically clears up within a few hours.
However, contact Customer Service
(page 44) if the redness does not go
away within 2-3 days.
