2. On what parts of the body can I use the Homelight Connected?
The Homelight Connected has been designed for removal of body hair. The area’s most
commonly treated with the Homelight Connected are the legs, underarms, arms, and the
bikini line. Homelight can also be used for the face, but only if the sensitive area filter is used.
3. How long is a depilation session with the Homelight Connected?
Refer to Approximate Session Duration for more information.
4. Is the Homelight Connected safe?
Your safety was our first priority when we designed the Homelight Connected. Very strict
standards were followed when testing and approving it for use at home skin tolerance tested
under dermatological control. But like any electronic appliance that comes in contact with
the skin, the user must follow the instructions and scrupulously follow the safety precautions.
5. Are treatments painful?
When used properly, most Homelight Connected users report a slight heat sensation when
the unit pulses. Users with darker and thicker hair sense a little more discomfort. But these
sensations ease and disappear at the end of the session. For your comfort and safety, the
Homelight Connected has 5 power levels depending on your skin type.
6. At what frequency should I use the Homelight epilator?
The first 4 sessions with the Homelight Connected should be 2 weeks apart. Next sessions
should be 4 weeks apart until you achieve the desired results.
7. Is the Homelight epilator effective on white, grey or blonde hair?
IPL hair removal is most effective on dark hair or on those containing more melanin. Melanin,
the pigment that gives colour to skin and hair, absorbs optical energy. Black and dark brown
hair responds best to the treatment. If brown and light brown hair also responds, these will
need a few more sessions. Red hair may also respond partially to the treatment. Generally,
white, grey or blonde hair does not respond to the treatment, but some users have noticed
results after several depilation sessions.
8. Can I use the Homelight Connected on brown or black skin?
Do not use the appliance on naturally dark skin! The Homelight Connected eliminates hair
by targeting the follicular pigment. Pigments are also found in varying quantities in the
surrounding dermal tissues. The quantity of pigments in a person’s dermis, visible through
the colour of the skin, defines the level of risk to which he or she is exposed by using the
Homelight epilator. Treating dark skin with the Homelight Connected may involve risks like
burns, blisters and changes in skin colour (hyper or hypopigmentation).Please consult the
