How does the i-Light
®
Pro IPL System Work?
The process of light-based hair removal is
well-known and has been clinically prov-
en around the world for over 15 years.
The i-Light® Pro system uses this same
proven technology to emit an intense
pulse of light (IPL) to heat up and dis-
able active hair follicles. The light energy
targets dark coloring in body hair, which
is why it works best on lighter skin tones
and naturally dark hair. To determine if
your skin and hair color are ok to use
with the i-Light® Pro IPL system, refer to
information provided on page 4 and 5.
Every hair in our body goes through a
continuous growth cycle, from active
to resting phases. The time it takes to
complete a full hair growth cycle varies,
but is typically 18-24 months. Light-
based treatments only affect hairs in
the active phase, which can account for
up to 90% of hair follicles. That’s why
we recommend using the i-Light® Pro
system three times in the first month to
ensure you hit every active hair. After that,
use the i-Light® Pro system as needed
for any missed hairs or hairs that have
recently become active.
• The first 3 sessions with the i-Light®
Pro IPL system should be 2 weeks apart.
• After that, use the i-Light® Pro system
when you start to see hair re-growth in
the treated area.
• Do NOT treat the same body part more
often than every 2 weeks.
After a hair follicle is treated, it can take
one to two weeks for the hair to fall out.
During this time, it may look like hair is
still growing, but really the hair is being
“pushed out.” You may or may not see
these stubs pushed out from the skin.
If you start treating a different body part,
start the process over for that body part.
