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 temporari-
ly 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 every two weeks, as this will not speed up
results, but could increase likelihood of skin swelling, blistering or changes to 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
and breastfeeding 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.
•
DO NOT
use on the face if you have a history of cold sores; use of IPL or any treatment
that irritates skin can cause a recurrence of cold sores.
