Q. What are the risks involved with the i-Light device? Is it safe?
A. The i-Light device is safe to use, but like any electronic device it is important that you
read and follow the operating instructions.
Q. How often should I use the i-Light device?
A. You should use the i-Light device whenever you start to see hair regrowth.
F
DO NOT
treat the same area more than once a week
Q. How long do treatments take?
A. Time varies based on the size of the area being treated, but one full leg should take no
more than 15 minutes.
Q. When will I begin to see results?
A. Results are not immediate. Hair may sometimes appear to be growing back after
treatment but many of these hairs will begin to fall out after two weeks.
Hair grows in a cycle of 3
phases which lasts 18-24 months. Only hairs in the
anagen phase are susceptible to treatment, which is why multiple treatments are required
for optimal results. The results are generally noticeable within a few weeks of the first
treatment. Continuous regular weekly (or every 2 weeks for three treatments) use will
give good results within 6 to 12 weeks (darker skin may take longer).
Q. Why is my hair growing despite treatments?
A. Hair continues to grow for up to 2 weeks after treatment, at which time you will notice the
hair beginning to fall out. Another reason for continued growth could be that the area
was missed during a treatment. Continue to treat the area whenever you notice regrowth.
Q. Why can’t I use the i-Light device after recent sun exposure?
A. Sun exposure causes high levels of melanin to be present and exposes the skin to higher
risk of burns or blisters following treatment.
Q. What are the warnings against using the i-Light device?
A. Certain conditions may limit your ability to use the unit. Please read the Warnings and
Safety Precautions section in the User Manual in its entirety before using the i-Light device.
Q. How often do I need to replace the bulb?
A. The long-life light cartridge will deliver 65,000
regardless of the energy level
selected. While it is unlikely you will ever need to replace it; it can be replaced by another
long-lif
your local Remington
™
Service Centre.
Q. Can I use the i-Light device on my face?
A. The i-Light device is suitable for female facial use only below the cheekbone when used
with thefacial treatment head.
Q. How do I care for treated areas following treatment?
A. Avoid unprotected sun exposure to the treated areas.
Q. Should I suspend normal activity after using the i-Light device?
A. There is no need to suspend normal activity following treatment assuming no abnormal
complications occur. It is recommended that you perform the treatment prior to going to
bed so that any resulting redness fades by morning.
Q. Is the i-Light device dangerous for the skin after long term use?
A. There have not been any reported side
or skin damage from long term use of
intense pulse light.
Q. How often should I treat with the i-Light device?
A. An interval of 2 weeks for the initial treatment, is proven to be the most
in hair
reduction. You should avoid treating the same area multiple times in one session, as it will
not improve efficacy but increases the risk of skin irritation.
Q. Can I use the i-Light device if I have blonde, red, grey or white hairs?
A. The i-Light device works best on darker hair types because they contain more melanin,
the pigment that gives hair and skin its colour. Melanin is what absorbs the light energy
used during the treatment. Black and dark brown hairs respond the best. Brown and light
brown hairs will also respond, but typically require more treatments. Red hairs may show
some response. White, grey or blonde hairs usually don’t respond to treatments,
although some users have noted results after multiple treatments.
