When not to use/When to avoid using i-LIGHT
• DO NOT use if you have tanned skin in the intended treatment area, as your skin may be too dark and
treatment in tanned areas could temporarily cause skin swelling, blisters, or could change the colour of
your skin. Wait until your tan has faded before treating.
• DO NOT use on skin with cosmetics applied, as treating in those areas could temporarily cause skin
swelling, blisters or could change the colour of your skin. Make sure to thoroughly clean the intended
treatment area prior to use.
• DO NOT flash the same treatment spot multiple times during the same session, as this could
temporarily cause skin swelling, blisters, or could change the colour of your skin.
• DO NOT treat any area more than once per week, as this will not speed up results, but could increase
likelihood of skin swelling, blistering or changing the colour of your skin.
• DO NOT use on damaged skin, including open wounds, cold sores, sunburns, or areas where you have
had a skin peel or other skin resurfacing procedure within the last 6-8 weeks.
• DO NOT use on irritated skin, including rashes or swollen skin. These conditions can make the skin
more sensitive. Wait for the affected area to heal before use.
• DO NOT use if your skin is sensitive to light. In order to determine if you can use i-
LIGHT,
perform a test on a small patch of skin and wait 24 hours to determine if there are any adverse
reactions before treating more broadly.
• DO NOT use if you are or may be pregnant or are breast-feeding. i-
LIGHT has not been tested
on pregnant women. Hormonal changes are common during pregnancy or breast-feeding and could
increase skin sensitivity and the risk of skin injury.
• DO NOT flash against any material other than skin.
• DO NOT use i-
LIGHT for any purpose other than hair removal.
• DO NOT treat any area where you may someday want your hair to grow back. The results may be
permanent and irreversible.
• If you’ve had professional or clinical or self-administered laser or IPL or electrolysis hair removal
treatments, wait at least 6 months before using i-LIGHT. If you’ve waxed, plucked or epilated hair in the
treatment area, wait at least 6 weeks before using i-LIGHT. The device uses the hair under your skin to
disable your hair at the root, so it is not effective if the hair has been pulled out.
• DO NOT use directly over or near Active Implantable Medical Devices such as implantable pacemaker,
internal defibrillator, or insulin devices. Although no problems associated with the use of this device
have been reported during clinical studies, it is recommended to observe all active implantable
medical device warnings regarding the use of electronic devices to prevent any failure or interruption
of an active implantable device.
