How Does Remington iLIGHT Face And Body Work?
Light-based hair removal is a well-
established technology that has been in
use worldwide for over 15 years. The
Remington iLIGHT Face and Body uses
this technology to flash your skin with an
intense pulse of light. The energy in the
pulse works under the surface of your
skin to target hairs at the root, helping to
stop their growth. Because the energy in
the pulse of light targets dark coloring, it
works best on darker hair. To avoid tar-
geting (and possibly damaging) dark skin,
you should use the Remington iLIGHT
Face and Body only on light-to-medium
skin tones.
How Many Treatments are Needed?
Individual hairs go through a continuous
growth cycle with phases of active growth
and phases of rest. Like other laser or
light-based treatments, the Remington
iLIGHT Face and Body affects only hairs
that are in the active growth phase. Your
initial regimen should be spread out over
1 month to ensure that you target the
most number of active hairs (including
those that recently cycled from the resting
phase).
We recommend that you use the
Remington iLIGHT Face and Body once a
week, every other week over one month
(for a total of three treatments) on each
area.
If you have redness, blistering or other
skin irritation in the treatment area, DO
NOT perform treatment. Wait until the
skin returns to normal before using
REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and Body again.
If the irritation does not go away within 3
days, contact Customer Service on page
50.
Use the
Treatment Record Cards
on
page 54 to help keep track of your treat-
ments.
Results aren’t immediate, but you should
have noticeably fewer hairs within 1 to 2
weeks after you start treatment. During
this time, it may look like the hair is still
growing, but it is actually being “pushed
out.” You may or may not see these hairs
fall out.
