GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH YOUR i-LIGHT DEVICE
✹
What is the i-Light device?
The i-Light Pro Face & Body system is a revolutionary light-based device designed for the
removal of unwanted body hair and female facial hair at home.
✹
What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and how does the i-Light device work?
i-Light Pro Face & Body works by directing an extremely short, intense pulse of light into the
skin. The light energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle temporarily disabling the
growth mechanism in the hair and delaying hair growth.
Hair follicles typically pass through three phases throughout the hair growth cycle. These
phases are:
Anagen Phase (growing phase) –
the active growth phase of the hair follicles. Melanin
concentration is at its highest as it is responsible for pigmentation of the hair. Only hairs in
the anagen phase are susceptible to treatment with IPL (fig 2).
Catagen Phase (degradation phase) –
this is a short transition stage, which follows the
anagen phase and signals the end of the active growth stage of the hair. It typically lasts 2-3
weeks (fig. 3).
