• You may notice that bony areas, such as elbows, shins and ankles, are more sensitive
during treatment.
• This is normal and should not be cause for alarm. To avoid this sensitivity, try stretching
the skin away from the bony area during treatment.
Facial Treatment
• Test on a patch of skin - since facial skin tends to be more sensitive, make sure you test
on a small patch before proceeding. See section ‘Test The i-LIGHT
®
PRO+ Face & Body
On Your Skin’ for more details.
• Use a mirror to guide your treatments - using a mirror for a good view of the area to
be treated and to help ensure you avoid treating the lips or any other dark spots. If the
reflected light is unpleasant, you may want to close your eyes before each flash.
• Stretch skin for better skin contact - the contours of the skin may make it difficult for the
skin contact sensors to be fully depressed in certain areas. You may find it easier to try
and wrap your upper lip over your teeth or use your tongue to stretch your cheeks for
better skin contact.
After treatment, you may experience slight redness or a warm sensation on your skin. This
is normal and will disappear quickly. To avoid irritation to your skin after a treatment, take
the following precautions:
• Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours after a treatment. Protect the skin with SPF 30 for 2
weeks after each treatment.
•
DO NOT
prolong sun exposure such as sunbathing, using a tanning bed, or self-tan for
at least 2 weeks after the last treatment.
• After treatment, keep the area clean and dry and drink plenty of water to keep skin hydrated.
•
DO NOT
take hot baths, showers, or use steam rooms and saunas for 24 hours after
treatment.
