weeks apart untill you achieve the desired results.
7. Is the Homelight epilator eff ective on white, grey or blond hair?
The Homelight epilator is most eff ective 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
respond 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 blond
hair does not respond to the treatment, but some users have noticed results after several depilation
sessions.
8. Can I use the Homelight epilator on brown or black skin?
Do not use the appliance on naturally dark skin! The Homelight epilator 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, defi nes
the level of risk to which he or she is exposed by using the Homelight epilator. Treating dark skin
with the Homelight epilator may involve risks like burns, blisters and changes in skin colour (hyper-
or hypopigmentation).Please consult the table showing the diff erent phototypes and the use
recommended according to these types in the section ‘Use’
