F
DO NOT
treat inside the NOSTRILS or EARS as these areas are delicate.
F
DO NOT
use over or near metal fillings, dental implants or braces.

CAUTION:
Avoid treating areas that contain only vellus hairs (very thin, fine hair known as “peach fuzz”)
as this may result in undesired hair re-growth. Remove any visible hair by shaving or trimming. Do not use
wax, epilation, tweezers or depilation products to remove hair before or during the course of treatment
because they counteract the IPL process. If trimming, ensure you trim hair to no more than 0.5mm.

Changing Treatment Heads
Your i-Light Pro comes with two separate Treatment Heads for Body Hair and Female Facial Hair. The Body
Hair Treatment Head is specially designed for Body Hair and can flash every 2 seconds. The Facial Hair
Treatment Head is specially tuned for Female Facial Hair, minimises light leakage, and can flash every 4
seconds. The Facial Hair Treatment Head is marked with the icon shown in fig. 15.
Fig. 15
To change treatment heads, please follow the instructions provided.
1. Turn the POWER SWITCH off and unplug the POWER CORD from the electrical outlet.
Allow the system to cool down for 5 minutes before attempting to change treatment heads.
2. Hold the Treatment Head with one hand while pressing both Release Buttons with the other hand
and pull gently. Store the unused Treatment Head in a safe location (such as in the packaging) taking
care not to damage the FLASH WINDOW and other components.
3. Gently push the other Treatment Head back into the Hand Piece making sure both side tabs click into
place. NOTE: the longer tab (with gold circuits) must be on top to properly fit.

Helpful tips for treating facial hair
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 device on your skin’ for details (fig. 7).
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.

TREATMENT TIPS
• For best results, avoid overlapping flashes. This helps prevent exposure to more energy than is
necessary to suppress hair growth. It also ensures that you get the maximum use of the light cartridge.
• For the most effective results, always use the highest intensity level that does not cause discomfort on
the skin. The level you use should feel warm on your skin, but should never cause discomfort.
• 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.

POST-TREATMENT CARE
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 handle the treated area roughly.
• Do not take hot baths, showers, or use steam rooms and saunas for 24 hours after treatment.
• Do not swim for 24 hours after treatment.
• Do not take part in contact sports for 24 hours after treatment.
• Do not wear tight-fitting clothing over the treated area.
• Do not depilate (waxing, plucking, threading or creams) during the treatment – shaving is
acceptable as long as you avoid shaving 24 hours after each treatment.
• Do not use bleaching creams or perfumed products for 24 hours after treatment.
• Do not scratch or pick at the treated area.

CLEANING YOUR i-LIGHT DEVICE
F
CAUTION:
Before cleaning your i-Light, make sure that the power switch is OFF and the
power cord is disconnected from the base unit.
• Regular cleaning helps to ensure optimal results and a long life for the i-Light device. The exterior
surface of the base unit and hand piece may be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth.
• To clean the Flash Window, use only the lint-free cloth included with your i-Light device. Take care not
to scratch or chip the Flash Window. Scratches and chips can reduce the effectiveness of the unit.
• For stubborn stains, use a dampened cotton swab to apply a small amount of water to the Flash
Window and clean with the lint-free cloth provided.
• Use a small hand-held vacuum to remove dust and debris from the hand piece vents.
F
WARNING:
If the Flash Window is cracked or broken, the unit must not be used. Never scratch the filter
glass or the metallic surface inside the Treatment Head.
F
CAUTION:
The i-Light is a high voltage device. Never immerse in water. Never clean the unit or any of
its parts under a tap or in a dishwasher. Do not use petroleum-based or flammable cleaning agents
because of the risk of fire. Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as
oil or acetone to clean the unit.
