SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT USE your appliance on naturally dark skin.
The treatment of dark skin with your appliance may lead to side eects, like burns, blisters
and changes in skin colour (hyper or hypopigmentation).
DO NOT USE your appliance on tanned skin or after recent exposure to the sun!
The Homelight epilator will remove unwanted hair by selectively attacking the
pigments in the hair. The amount of pigment in a person’s skin determines not
only the colour, but also the level of risk to which the user is exposed when using
a form of depilation that uses light, regardless of which one. The darker the skin,
the higher the risk will be.
DO NOT USE the Homelight appliance on naturally dark skin!
Using the appliance on skin recently exposed to the sun may have side eects, like burns,
blisters and changes in skin colour (hyper or hypopigmentation).
DO NOT USE your appliance near your eyes.
Thanks to the built-in eye protection, Homelight only releases a ash when the application
surface is entirely in contact with the skin.
The appliance is not intended for removing hair from eyelashes or eyebrows.
DO NOT USE your appliance on white, grey or blonde hair.
This appliance is not eective on white, grey or blonde hair. If your hair is one of these colours,
this appliance may not work.
Note: the colour of the hair may also dier according to the dierent areas of the body. It is
possible that the results will vary depending on the area to be treated and the hair colour.
DO NOT USE the Homelight appliance on tanned skin or after recent
exposure to the sun! Such exposure may cause serious burns or severe
damage to your skin.
Avoid exposing yourself to sunlight for 4 weeks before treatment
with the Homelight epilator, and for 2 weeks following treatment.
Keep away from your eyes!

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
When your appliance is used according to these instructions, side eects and complications
are rare. Nonetheless, all cosmetic treatments, even those designed for use at home, involve
some risks. Therefore, it is important to understand and accept these risks and possible
complications when you use a pulsed light depilation system designed for use at home.
If you superimpose pulses or administer multiple pulses on the same patch:
Slight annoying sensation in the skin
Even if the home pulsed light depilation is generally tolerated well, most people who use it
feel a slight annoying sensation during use, often described as a prickling sensation on the
area being treated.
Generally, this sensation lasts throughout the application, even for a few minutes afterwards.
Any discomfort beyond this annoying sensation is abnormal and means that either you must
stop the treatment, because you cannot tolerate it, or you must lower the selected power
level.
Redness
Your skin could become red just after use of the appliance or in the 24 hours following
treatment. The redness generally disappears within 24 hours. Consult your GP if it persists
longer than 2 to 3 days.
Hypersensitivity of the skin
The skin is more sensitive in the area that has been treated and could dry out and scale.
Burns or sores
Very rarely, the skin may be exposed to injuries or burns following the application. Several
weeks may be necessary for it to heal completely and, in exceptional cases, a scar may remain.
Scarring
Even if these cases are very rare, permanent scars may appear. Generally, the scars take the
form of a whitish supercial lesion (hypotrophic). Nonetheless, the scar may be large and

red (hypertrophic) or large and extended beyond the injured area (keloid). More advanced
cosmetic treatment may be required to improve the appearance.
Change in pigmentation
This appliance targets the hair roots, in particular the pigmented cells of the bulb.
Nonetheless, there is a risk of temporary hyperpigmentation (increase in the brown
pigmentation or discolouration) or hypopigmentation (whitening) of the surrounding skin.
The risk of change in pigmentation is higher among people with darker skin.
Generally, the change in pigmentation and the discolouration are temporary. Cases of
permanent hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation are rare.
Excessive redness and swelling
In some rare cases, treated skin may become very red and swollen. This reaction is more
common on sensitive areas of the body. The redness and the swelling should disappear
within 2 to 7 days during which you should apply ice to the aected area/s regularly. Gentle
cleaning does not pose a problem, but you should avoid any exposure to the sun.
Infection
A skin infection is extremely rare, but may occur after a burn or a lesion of the skin caused
by the appliance.
Bruising
Very rarely, using the appliance may cause some blue or purple bruising which could last 5
to 10 days. As the blue disappears, the skin may take on a rusty colour (hyperpigmentation)
that could be permanent.

HOW DOES INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
Adapted from the same technology used by professional salons, BaByliss Paris brings safe,
painless and permanent°Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) epilation hair removal to the comfort of
your own home.
Simple & easy to use
Gentle & safe treatment
Painless hair removal
Cost eective – no replacement bulbs needed
Permanent°results in the comfort of your own home
Great for thick or dense hair
The Homelight Connected is a personal long-lasting photo-epilation device. The photo-
epilation procedure is well known and has been subjected to over 15 years of clinical testing
around the world and has proven its eectiveness and its safety in oering gradual but long-
lasting hair removal.
For safe, eective, painless and permanent°hair removal on face & body – neck, arms,
shoulders, chest, back, legs and torso and sensitive areas such as cheeks, upper lip, chin,
sideburns, underarms, bikini line and pubic area (it must NEVER be used near the eyes, on the
eyebrows or eyelashes, on men’s beards, on the scrotum or testes).
The Homelight Connected can be used by men and women aged 18 years and older.
How does the light eliminate hair?
Photo-epilation is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis which uses optical
energy to stop the growth of the hair. To obtain such thermal eects, the root of the hair
must selectively absorb the light energy and transform it into heat. This selection is produced
when most of the optical energy emitted is absorbed by the pigment of the bulb, while the
surrounding skin and tissue remain cold.
Melanin is the pigment found in the hair, which allows the absorption of the light, to transform
it into heat in order to stop the hair growth. The more melanin in the hair (i.e., the darker the
hair), the more light it can absorb and the more ecient photo-epilation becomes.

What impact does the growth cycle of the hair have on photo-epilation?
Every hair on our body has three growth phases: the anagen,
catagen and telogen phases. These three phases play an
important role in the process of photo-epilation.
The anagen phase is the growth phase of the hair, while the
catagen and telogen phases are both resting phases. The
time the hair takes to go through its growth cycle varies
completely from one person to the next and from one part of
the body to the next. We can, however, establish an average
of between 12 and 24 months. Most hair follicles are found at
any one time in one of the two resting phases.
Consequently, your appliance will have no eect when they are in these resting phases.
Nonetheless, it will aect the hair that is in anagen phase. It is therefore important to
understand the duration of a full hair growth cycle to obtain lasting results with your
Homelight Connected.
Optimising the results by planning your treatment sessions
A full hair growth cycle takes on average from 12 to 24 months during which many sessions
with your Homelight Connected will be necessary to obtain long-lasting results. The
eciency of the appliance will vary from one person to the next and will depend on the
area being treated, the colour of the hair and the way in which the appliance is used.

SESSION PLANNING
For best results, plan your treatment sessions well in advance.
Below is an example of a full treatment schedule:
The rst 4 sessions should be 2 weeks apart;
In between treatments, the hair sheds naturally and hair regrowth is inhibited. Your
skin should be smooth by then, but to ensure that your skin stays smooth, simply
repeat treatment when needed. The time between treatments may vary based on your
individual hair regrowth and also may vary from body area to body area. To maintain the
best results, we recommend repeating the treatment every 4 to 8 weeks, until you achieve
the desired results.
Full treatment: 11 sessions over 12 months (depending on thickness of hair to be treated)
After that, you only need to use the Homelight Connected when hair regrows, until
epilation is lasting.
You can plan your personal sessions to suit your rhythm and still achieve satisfactory results.
However, we recommend you follow the schedule suggested here because the results will
be excellent.
Note: Do not treat the same patch more than once in two weeks as this will not
improve results and it will risk causing undesirable eects.
You can plan maintenance depilation sessions with your Homelight Connected once
you have achieved your objectives. It is recommended that you use Homelight with
moderation, i.e. not repeating the treatment with Homelight indenitely. A full treatment (7
to 8 depilation sessions in total) performed once every year is sucient for very satisfactory
results.
Because of hormonal factors and physiological changes, dormant follicles can become
active. Maintenance sessions may thus sometimes be necessary.

Expected results
The rst results are visible after 4 sessions and achieve a very signicant decrease in the
amount of hair after 9 to 10 sessions.
The results will vary from one person to the next and according to the kind of hair and
biological factors that determine the growth cycle of the hair. Some people achieve results
more or less quickly than the average number of sessions that recommended.
Long-lasting results cannot be expected after just one or two sessions. Here again, the
duration of the resting cycle of the hair follicles varies from one area of the body to the next.
Note: The Homelight Connected is not eective on white or light coloured hair.
Long-life Quartz Technology
Your BaByliss Homelight Connected has a high performance ash lamp with an exceptionally
long-life thanks to Quartz Technology. This technology oers the ash lamp extraordinary
durability resulting in extra-long usage. No replacement to buy, the lamp included oers
results for many years, for a lasting, eective and cheaper treatment.

13
USING YOUR HOMELIGHT CONNECTED SAFELY
Safety is a priority with the Homelight Connected.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology provides maximum safety and minimum risk.
Epilation using the Intense Pulsed Light technology lets you achieve long-lasting results
with less power intensity compared to other photo-epilation methods. The epilator’s low
energy use reduces the chances of injury or complications and contributes to your overall
safety.
The Homelight Connected has a mechanism to protect your eyes.
The Homelight Connected is designed with a built-in mechanism (contact sensor) that
will protect your eyes. This was designed so that the ash/pulse cannot be emitted if the
appliance is aimed at open space. The safety mechanism only allows the appliance to work
when the application surface is touching the skin.
Do not look at the area being treated when the unit ashes.

SELECTING THE RIGHT INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR SKIN TONE
The power intensity level designates the power of the pulsed
light administered to your skin during treatment, ranging from
the lowest (1) to the highest (5) levels.
The power indicator lights indicate the selected level of power.
If you increase the power, the results will be better, but there will
also be an increased risk of side eects (see‘Possible Side Eects’).
Using the Removable skin tone guide
The removable skin tone guide helps you to select the required power level to best suit your
skin colour. It shows the dierent skin colours and the corresponding power levels.
It can be removed easily from the unit and can be applied to the back of wrist, for example,
(generally the darkest part of the body because it gets the most exposure to the sun) to
discover your skin Phototype. This guide must be used along with the table below for a safe
use of the Homelight Connected appliance.
PHOTOTYPES – according to the Fitzpatrick scale
PHOTOTYPE I Very white, milky skin Does not tan and always get sunburns
PHOTOTYPE II Light-coloured skin Tans a little and often gets sunburns
PHOTOTYPE III Beige skin Takes on an average tan and sometimes gets
sunburns
PHOTOTYPE IV Medium brown skin Tans easily and does not get sunburns often
PHOTOTYPE V Dark brown skin Tans very easily and rarely gets sunburns
PHOTOTYPE VI Black skin X
IMPORTANT : Refer to the table below for safe use of your appliance.

15
If your skin reacts correctly to the test, i.e. if you do not notice any abnormal reactions or
discomfort in the 48 hours following the test, you can select the power level of your appliance
for your rst session using the following chart:
NOTE – For the following sessions, if you do not experience any specic discomfort or
unpleasantness, gradually increase the power level. Never move directly to the highest power
level.
It is possible that the power intensity level required will vary with the dierence in a person’s skin
colour according to the area to be treated. Skin on the arms, generally exposed to the sun more
frequently, is for example darker than the underarms.
But be careful, by increasing the power level for lighter areas on your body, you will have better
results but you also increase the risk of discomfort or even side eects.
CAUTION : 48 hours before using for the first time, do a test on a leg (a few flashes)
using level 1, regardless of your skin type.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Preparation of the Skin
Your skin should be shaved, clean, dry and free of powder and deodorant residue.
Do not apply any cream or body milk before using the appliance.
Do not epilate (whether using an electric epilator or wax) before using the Homelight
Connected. The epilation (removal of hair at the root) will make the pulsed light treatment
ineective.
BODY: For best results, shave the area to be treated up to 24 hours before you intend to use
the appliance.
FACE: Before using, remove all traces of cream, lotion and make-up. As hair on the face is ne,
there is no need to shave before using on facial areas. Homelight is only suitable for use on the
lower part of the face (cheeks, upper lip and chin).
Before using the product, make sure that the skin is dry, perfectly clean and free from grease
or cream.
Getting Started
1. Remove the appliance and all parts from the box.
2. Download the BaByliss Homelight App for free* onto your smartphone or tablet (requires
min iOS 7 / Android 4.0), ensuring your Bluetooth connection is switched on.
3Plug the power adapter cable into the handle of the appliance.
4. Plug the other end of the adapter into a suitable mains power outlet and switch the outlet
on. The ‘ON/OFF’Indicator Light will come on in orange.
5Press the ‘ON’button to switch the appliance on. The ‘ON/OFF’light will turn green. You will
hear a slight noise of a fan. Your Homelight Connected is now ready to use.
6. About 1.5 seconds (at level 1) after having pressed the ON button, the‘Ready’indicator light
will come on. The appliance is ready to release the rst ash/pulse. The appliance is set to
the lowest power setting by default. The level 1 power indicator light should now be lit.
7. On the BaByliss Homelight App, select the model G940A and allow the Homelight
Connected to establish a connection with your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Once
connected, follow the prompts guided by the Homelight App.
8. Select the power level that corresponds to your skin type (see‘Selecting the Right Intensity
Level for your Skin Tone’) using the +/- buttons located on the side of the appliance. The
indicator lights that correspond to the selected power level will come on in green. For
example, for power level 3, the indicator lights for the rst 3 levels will come on.
9. Press the application surface rmly against your skin so that there is full contact. When
the application surface is in full contact with the skin, the ‘Ready’ indicator light will start
to ash.
* BaByliss Homelight App for IOS and Android mobile devices is free on the App Store and Google Play; however data will be
required to download. Check with your mobile service provider for data rates before downloading.

17
NB: The appliance has a mechanism to protect your eyes, a contact sensor that
prevents the appliance from releasing a pulse if its application surface is not in full
contact with your skin. If the appliance is not in full contact with your skin, it will not
release a pulse of light. Make sure, therefore, that the application surface is correctly
applied to your skin.
10. Press the ash activation/ ash release button.The appliance will release a pulse of light.
You may feel a slight warm and tingling sensation.
11. Remove the application surface from the treated patch of skin.
12. Move the application surface to another area to be treated. Pressure marks left on
your skin by the application surface should help you to correctly align the epilator to
administer the next pulse, avoiding the release of two pulses on the same patch of
skin or too much space being left between the patches (see ‘Covering the area to be
treated’). Your Homelight Connected will recharge immediately after each pulse. After
1.5 seconds (at level 1), the ‘Ready’ indicator light will come on again. The appliance is
now ready to release another pulse.
Warning: Never treat the same patch of skin more than once per
depilation session!
Repeated treatment of the same area increases the risk of side effects.

18
MODES OF USE
PRECISE = Manual Flash Mode
The Manual Flash Mode, as described under points 7 to 10 above, allows for safe treatment of
the least accessible and most sensitive areas of your body (face, underarms, bikini line, etc.).
Be careful when treating your face. Make sure you attach the special sensitive area lter on the
appliance head (see the section ‘Using Homelight Connected on Sensitive Areas’).
FAST = Continuous Flash Mode
When the applicator window is properly applied to the skin and the ash activation/ ash
release button is held in, the user can activate the Fast Mode (continuous release of 36 pulses
per minute, at level 1). In this way, there is an automatic continuous release of pulses without
the need for additional handling.
You can easily slide the appliance over your skin without interruption in a slow and continuous
movement without lifting or lowering it.
If you lift the appliance while holding the ash activation/ ash release button pressed in,
the Fast Mode remains active. But for your safety, no pulse is released until the appliance is
in full contact with your skin. Ensure that the contact sensor that forms the contour of the
appliance’s applicator surface is perfectly and rmly pressed against your skin to guarantee
operation of the continuous ashes in the Fast Mode. If you break the contact between the
applicator surface and your skin, you have 5 seconds to adjust the appliance to ensure full
contact with the skin while holding the release button pressed in. If, after 5 seconds, contact
is not full, the Fast Mode will deactivate and you will have to let the release button go and
press it again to restart the process.
If you lift the appliance and let go of the release button, the Fast Mode will be deactivated.
The Fast Mode is suitable for people who already have some experience with and some
dexterity using the appliance. With 36 pulses per minute (at level 1), the Fast Mode lets
you treat larger areas of your body more safely and more quickly: legs, back, arms,
torso, etc. For the sensitive areas and the face, use the Precise Mode.
