What is the i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body?
The i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body is a home-use device for the reduction and suppression of body hair using Intense Pulsed Light
(IPL) technology. This is the same technology used in professional hair removal salons and clinics, but it is optimised for use in
the privacy of your own home.
Ideal for use on legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, back, chest and shoulders, and below the cheekbone (with facial attachment
- for female use only).
Clinically Proven Safe & Effective*
"i-LIGHT®uses the same advanced IPL technology used in clinics and salons by dermatologist and
medical professionals like myself. It is simple to use, gentle to the skin, and clinically proven to remove
hair safely and effectively with long lasting results”

Hair Growth Cycle
Hair follicles typically pass through three phases throughout the hair growth cycle. These phases are:
i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body uses intense pulses of light (IPL) to gently heat up and disable hair follicles beneath the skin. This results
in the hair follicle shedding naturally and regrowth being prevented, leaving you with soft, smooth skin.
How Does It Work?
Use i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face
& Body on shaved skin
every 2 weeks for the rst
3 treatments
Hair will shed naturally
between treatments
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.
Catagen Phase (degradation
phase) – this is a short transition
stage, which follows the anagen
phase and signals the end of ac-
tive growth of hair. It typically lasts
2-3 weeks.
Telogen Phase (resting phase) – the
hair follicle is completely at rest
during this phase, which is the lon-
gest phase and lasts about 100 days.
During this time, the new hairs push
out the old hairs, allowing the growth
cycle to begin again.
As hairs are at different stages of the hair growth cycle during treatments, some hairs may grow back even though you have treated the area frequently,
hair growth may also vary across different body areas. Repeat treatments with i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body when needed based on your individual hair
re-growth.

Is the i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body suitable for you?
Hair & Skin Tone Comparison Chart
HAIR COLOUR
SKIN COLOUR
The i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body is intended for use on light to medium skin colours. To determine if your skin tone is suitable to use
with i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body, place skin in each intended treatment area next to the skin tone chart.
If your skin tone matches panels 1-4, you can use the i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body IPL system. If your skin tone matches 5-6, DO
NOT use the IPL system. The i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body is not intended for use on naturally dark skin, as it may result in burns,
blisters and changes in skin colour.
The i-LIGHT® PRO+ Face & Body system is equipped with a built-in skin tone sensor that is designed to help prevent ashing on
skin that is too dark or too tanned for treatment. Always test each different area you wish to treat with the skin tone chart and skin
tone sensor before treating.
The i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body is effective on black and brown hair but is not effective on blonde, red or grey hairs as they have
very little melanin (dark pigmentation) compared to brown or black hair.
Melanin is what absorbs the light energy used during i-LIGHT®Pro+ Face & Body 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 i-LIGHT®Pro+ Face & Body treatments, although some users have noted results
after multiple treatments.

Why choose i-LIGHT®Pro+ Face & Body?
Energy output
Refers to the amount of energy the IPL unit is able to apply to the hair follicle. IPL partially works by applying heat to the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin
relatively cool. The heat effectively disables the hair follicle. A higher energy output delivers more heat to the hair follicle, yielding a more effective treatment. Energy
output is measured in J/cm² (Joules per square centimetre).
Recommendation: An energy output above 6J/cm² is recommended to efciently achieve permanent results, and is similar to professional hair removal devices.
The i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body provides a high energy output - 7-8J/cm².
Energy levels
Completing a comfortable IPL treatment will depend on the ability to vary the energy output for differing levels of sensitivity. Areas such as the face, bikini line and
underarms are especially prone to hair removal sensitivity. A device with multiple energy levels will allow you to customise your treatment according to your individual
comfort level. Note that lowering the energy level will reduce the energy output, and this may result in more treatments to attain long lasting hair removal results.
Recommendation: Look for devices that have a minimum of 5 energy levels that only vary by one Joule (J/cm²) and maintain an energy output above 6J/cm².
The i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body has 5 energy levels to suit all individuals and an energy output above 6J/cm².
Wavelengths
The depth that the IPL energy is able to be delivered will depend on the wavelengths of light that the IPL device produces. Selecting a device with a low wavelength
may result in treatments that do not fully reach the hair follicle at its root, resulting in less effective treatment. Wavelengths are measured in nanometres (nm).
Recommendation: Wavelengths above 600nm are recommended to achieve permanent hair removal, which will produce a ash that is red in colour.
The i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body has ProPulse™ selective wavelength (>600nm).

10
Flash Count & Replacement Bulbs
This is the amount of light ashes that the device will emit before the bulb needs replacing. Not all IPL devices have replaceable bulbs, if not available the life of the
unit is considered over and a new IPL unit must be purchased to continue treatments.
Recommendation: In general a full body treatment is about 1,000 ashes to treat the legs, bikini, underarms and face. A high ash count (eg 200,000 ashes)
does not necessarily provide value since the average consumer will never need to use more than ~30,000 ashes in a lifetime. Consider purchasing an IPL device
with replaceable bulbs either offered by the manufacturer or in retail stores for purchase.
The i-LIGHT® PRO+ Face & Body has comes with an Innity Bulb, meaning no replacement bulbs are needed. However in the unlikely even the bulb becomes empty
contact the Remington Service centre for a replacement.
Accessories
Some IPL devices may only be used on the body while others are ok to be used on the face through the addition of a specic facial cap.
Recommendation: IPL devices designed for use on the face and body will provide maximum versatility.
The i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body comes with Facial & Body attachment caps for complete versatility.
Money back guarantee
Not all IPL devices come with a money back guarantee.
Recommendation:Purchasing an IPL device with a money back guarantee takes the risk out of making an IPL purchase decision. If you are unsatised with the results
you are seeing in the rst few treatments then you can return it to the manufacturer for a full refund of the purchase price.
The i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body comes with a 90 day money back guarantee.

How to use i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body
1. Shave the area to be treated. Ensure the area to be treated is clean and free from oils, deodorants,
perfume, make up, lotions and creams.
2. Unlock the system by placing the intended treatment area against the skin tone sensor for a few seconds.
3. Select the energy level.
4. Press the hand piece rmly against the skin, ensuring that the skin contact sensors are in full
contact with the skin.
After you hear a series of high pitched beeps press the ash button to treat the skin.
When a ash is delivered, you will:
– See a bright ash of light.
– Hear a "POP" sound.
– Feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling.
Lift the hand piece off the skin and move it to the next area to be treated.
OR keep the ash button depressed and slowly slide the hand piece on your skin to the next area to
be treated.
5. To make sure you have treated all areas, release the ashes close to each other in a grid pattern.
DO NOT ash the same treatment spot multiple times during one session.
6. To ensure that all hairs in the growth cycle are treated, we recommend initially using
i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body for 3 treatments every 2 weeks, for missed hairs or hairs that have
recently become active repeat treatment as required. Do not treat the same part more often than
2 weeks. Note after a hair follicle is treated, it can take one to two weeks for the hair to fall out.
During this time, it may look like hair is still growing, but really the hair is being “pushed out.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long does the Innity bulb last?
A. The innity bulb means no replacement parts are needed. The bulb in this device is guaranteed to last for the entire warranty period. In the
extremely unlikely event that your bulb becomes empty, please contact your local Remington Service centre who will provide you with a replacement.
Q. Will the hair grow back on the area treated with i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body
A. Individual results will vary. However, in our clinical testing, on average, participants have 94% fewer hairs twelve months after just three
treatments*. With additional maintenance treatments, it is quick and easy to achieve permanent hair reduction. Any hair re-growth will be ner
and lighter. Do not use the i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body on any area where you may someday want your hair to grow back. The results are
permanent and irreversible.
Q. How long does it take for my hair to fall out and stop growing?
A. Within a few weeks after initial treatment regimen, hairs in the treatment area will naturally fall out on their own!
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.
*Individual results vary. In clinical testing on the body, the upper quartile of treatment sites
averaged 94.3% fewer hairs after just three treatments. On average, participants in that study

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why is my hair still growing despite treatment?
A. After your initial treatment, it may appear that hairs are continuing to grow, when they are just being “pushed out”. Continue with the treatment
regimen and you’ll start to see results within a few weeks.
Q. Is i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body dangerous to the skin after prolonged use?
A. Light-based devices have been used in a clinical setting for over 15 years. There have not been any reported side effects or skin damage from
long-term use of lasers or intense pulse light.
Q. Why can’t I use i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body 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 i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body?
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 i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body.
Q. Can I use i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body if I am pregnant or nursing?
A. No. i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face & Body has not been tested on pregnant women, therefore we do not recommend using the i-LIGHT®PRO+ Face &
Body if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Hormonal changes could increase sensitivity and the risk of injury to the skin.
