9. When will I see the first results with the BaByliss Homelight Connected?
Like all other photo-epilation methods, the results are not immediate; you may even have the
impression that nothing is happening. The hair will sometimes appear to continue growing
after a session, but after two weeks, most of this hair will simply fall out. This is why you will
need to have a several sessions before achieving the expected result.
10. Can men use the Homelight Connected?
The Homelight Connected can be used by men. However, men’s hair, especially chest hair, will
require more sessions to achieve the desired results.
11. Why does hair grow back in the area that I treated last week?
It is quite common for hair to appear to continue to grow for one to two weeks after a
depilation session with the Homelight Connected. This process is known as ‘ejection’. After
two weeks, you will nonetheless notice that this hair falls out or comes away from its follicle.
That said, we recommend you do not pull the hair from the follicle – let it fall out naturally.
Moreover, some hair will not be affected by the Homelight epilator either because of poor
application or because the hair was in its dormant phase. This hair will be treated in the
following sessions, hence the need for several sessions to achieve the expected results with
the Homelight Connected.
12. I’ve heard that some hair grows back lighter and finer after photo-epilation.
Is this true?
This phenomenon is well documented by beauticians and doctors who use pulsed light
appliances for depilation treatments. It is possible that some hair grows back lighter and finer
after a Homelight Connected session. Generally, this hair only represents an tiny part of the
original hair growth, treatments should therefore be continued to achieve the desired result.
13. Is long-term use of the Homelight epilator dangerous for my skin?
Over the last 15 years, the use of the pulsed light in aesthetic medicine has been well
documented in professional journals. These journals and institutions have not reported any
side effects or injuries connected with long-term use of pulsed light appliances.
14. Can I use the Homelight Connected to eliminate chin or facial hair?
Homelight Connected allows facial hair removal (cheeks, upper lip, and chin), but only if the
sensitive area filter provided for this purpose is used. However, the Homelight Connected may
not be used for epilation of eyelashes, eyebrows or head hair. Please wear a pair of protective
glasses when using.
15. How long should I wait before using the Homelight epilator if I am not protected
from the sun’s rays?
You should avoid exposure to the sun before and after treatment with the Homelight
Connected no matter which part of the body has been treated. You must use suitable
protection, e.g., a covering garment or a sun cream (with a protection factor of 50+) which
you should then use regularly for three weeks before and after treatment. Ideally, you should
wait 4 weeks before using the Homelight Connected if you have been exposed to the sun
without protection. If you have the least doubt about exposure to the sun consult your doctor
or contact BaByliss customer service.
