Introducing Remington iLIGHT Face And Body
Congratulations on the purchase of your
new Remington iLIGHT Face and Body
hair removal system! The Remington
iLIGHT Face and Body is a new break-
through product that uses Intense Pulsed
Light ("IPL") to remove unwanted hair
at-home. The Remington iLIGHT Face and
Body utilizes the same clinically-proven
technology that professional dermatolo-
gists and salons use, but optimized for
personal treatment of smaller areas in the
privacy and comfort of your own home.
Unlike most at-home hair removal meth-
ods, the Remington iLIGHT Face and Body
doesn’t cut or pull out hair; it actually
uses light energy to work below the skin’s
surface to disable active hairs at the
root. You should gradually notice fewer
hairs in the treatment area within a few
weeks, with results generally improving
over time.
The Remington iLIGHT Face and Body is
intended for use on:
• Female Facial Hair (cheeks, sideburns,
chin, neck areas, and above the lips);
with the FacialLIGHT Cap.
• Male and Female Body Hair (under-
arms, bikini line, and on legs, arms,
stomach and chest) with the Body Cap.
NOTE: The Remington iLIGHT Face and
Body isn’t for everyone. Please review
the Contraindications, Warnings and
Precautions starting on page 16 to deter-
mine if the Remington iLIGHT Face and
Body is OK for you to use.

How Does Remington iLIGHT Face And Body Work?
Light-based hair removal is a well-
established technology that has been in
use worldwide for over 15 years. The
Remington iLIGHT Face and Body uses
this technology to flash your skin with an
intense pulse of light. The energy in the
pulse works under the surface of your
skin to target hairs at the root, helping to
stop their growth. Because the energy in
the pulse of light targets dark coloring, it
works best on darker hair. To avoid tar-
geting (and possibly damaging) dark skin,
you should use the Remington iLIGHT
Face and Body only on light-to-medium
skin tones.
How Many Treatments are Needed?
Individual hairs go through a continuous
growth cycle with phases of active growth
and phases of rest. Like other laser or
light-based treatments, the Remington
iLIGHT Face and Body affects only hairs
that are in the active growth phase. Your
initial regimen should be spread out over
1 month to ensure that you target the
most number of active hairs (including
those that recently cycled from the resting
phase).
We recommend that you use the
Remington iLIGHT Face and Body once a
week, every other week over one month
(for a total of three treatments) on each
area.
If you have redness, blistering or other
skin irritation in the treatment area, DO
NOT perform treatment. Wait until the
skin returns to normal before using
REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and Body again.
If the irritation does not go away within 3
days, contact Customer Service on page
50.
Use the Treatment Record Cards on
page 54 to help keep track of your treat-
ments.
Results aren’t immediate, but you should
have noticeably fewer hairs within 1 to 2
weeks after you start treatment. During
this time, it may look like the hair is still
growing, but it is actually being “pushed
out.” You may or may not see these hairs
fall out.

Inside your REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body box, you will find the BASE
UNIT, POWER CORD, CLEANING
CLOTH, and this USER’S MANUAL. The
REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and Body
comes with the TREATMENT CAP and
a LAMP CARTRIDGE pre-assembled to
the HAND PIECE. Each lamp cartridge
provides 30,000 flashes before it needs
to be replaced.
On the BASE UNIT, the control panel
includes a skin tone sensor to test for
appropriate skin tone before usage,
and allows you to control the energy
level that’s effective and comfortable
for you (see instructions for “Testing the
Remington iLIGHT Face and Body on a
patch of skin” on page 30). The Power
Button is located next to the POWER
SOCKET.

Changing Treatment Caps
The FacialLIGHT Cap is specially designed
to treat Female Facial Hair, as it mini-
mizes light leakage, and can flash every 4
seconds. The FacialLIGHT Cap is marked
with the icon below:
To change treatment caps, please follow
the instructions provided.
1. Turn the POWER SWITCH off and
unplug the POWER CORD from the elec-
trical outlet.
Allow the system to cool down for 5
minutes before attempting to change
treatment caps.
2. Hold the treatment cap with one hand
while pressing both Release Buttons with
the other hand and pull gently. Store the
unused treatment cap 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 cap
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.
• 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.

1. PREPARE SKIN (see page 25)
• Shave the hair in the treatment area
• Wipe skin clean and dry completely
2. TURN ON & UNLOCK THE
REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and Body
(see page 26)
• Turn POWER SWITCH on
• Place skin in the intended treatment
area on SKIN TONE SENSOR for a
few seconds (TOUCHING SKIN TONE
SENSOR)
• UNSUITABLE skin = "BUZZ"
• SUITABLE skin = "BEEP-BEEP" and
the system will unlock
• You must unlock on each body part you
intend to treat
3. SELECT ENERGY LEVEL
(see page 29)
• The REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and
Body system starts
out at the lowest
level
• Test your skin at
lower levels before
increasing energy.
• Higher energy levels improve results
but may be less comfortable
• To increase, press the ENERGY LEVEL
SELECTION BUTTON
• For best results use the highest setting
that is comfortable

4. PLACE HAND PIECE ON AREA AND
TEST A PATCH OF SKIN (see page 30)
• If SKIN CONTACT SENSORS are NOT
in contact with skin the system will
"buzz" and will not operate if you
press the FLASH BUTTON. Double
check that the contact sensors are in
full contact with the skin.
• If CONTACT SENSORS are in full
contact with skin the system will
"CHIRP" and is ready to flash.
• If you're having trouble, try pressing
the hand piece firmly against the skin.
• See page 30 for more info on testing a
patch of skin.
5. TREAT YOUR SKIN (see page 32-36)
• After you hear the "CHIRP" press the
FLASH BUTTON to treat skin
• When a flash is delivered, you will:
– See a bright flash of light
– Hear a "POP" sound
(the disposable cartridge)
– Feel a mild sensation of
warmth and tingling
• LIFT the HAND PIECE off the skin and
move it to a new treatment area
• DO NOT flash the same treatment spot
multiple times during one session
• Try to treat in a GRID PATTERN
Note: DO NOT physically mark the
treatment area with grid pattern as this
could cause injury to the skin.
Note: This guide is intended to be a
quick reference for experienced users

a powerful device. As such it should
be used with special attention to safety.
Please read all warnings and safety
precautions before use and follow them
strictly when using REMINGTON iLIGHT
Face and Body.
• DO NOT use REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body if you have TANNED SKIN in
the intended treatment area, as your
skin may be too dark and treatment in
tanned areas could temporarily cause
skin swelling, blisters, or could change
the color of your skin. Wait until your
tan has faded in the treatment area
before treating.
• DO NOT use REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body on skin with MAKEUP applied,
as treating in those areas could tem-
porarily cause skin swelling, blisters
or could change the color of your skin.
Make sure to thoroughly clean the
intended treatment area before using
REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and Body.
• DO NOT flash REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body on the identical treatment
spot multiple times during the same
session, as this could temporarily cause
skin swelling, blisters, or could change
the color of your skin. See instructions
on page 32 for more information on
how to properly administer treatment.
• DO NOT treat any area more than once
every other week, as this will not speed
up results, but could increase likelihood
of skin swelling, blistering or changing
the color of your skin.
• DO NOT use REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body on damaged skin, including
open wounds, cold sores, sunburns, or
areas where you have had a skin peel
or other skin resurfacing procedure
within the last 6-8 weeks.

and Body on irritated skin, including
rashes or swollen skin. These condi-
tions can make the skin more sensitive
to the light treatment. Wait for the
affected area to heal before using

19
REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and Body.
• DO NOT use REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body if your skin is sensitive to
light. In order to determine if you can
use REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and
Body, perform a test on a small patch
of skin and wait 24 hours to determine
if there are any adverse reactions
before using REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body more broadly. See steps for
testing on a patch of skin on page 30.
Contact Customer Service (page 50) for
more information or assistance.
• DO NOT use REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body if you are or may be pregnant
or are breast-feeding. REMINGTON
iLIGHT Face and Body has not been
tested on pregnant women. Hormonal
changes are common during pregnancy
or breast-feeding and could increase

injury.
• DO NOT flash REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body against any material other
than skin.
• DO NOT use REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body for any purpose other than
hair removal.
• DO NOT use REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body on any area where you may
someday want your hair to grow back.
The results may be permanent and
irreversible.
• DO NOT cover any part of the
REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and Body
ventilation slots during use, as they help
to keep the device cool during opera-
tion. Covering the ventilation slots could
result in the REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body device overheating.
• DO NOT use REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body if the box packaging or the
device appears damaged or if any part
of the REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and
Body body is cracked or broken. Doing
so could increase the risk of skin or
eye injury from the flash lamp. Contact

50).
Precautions

20
• DO NOT allow REMINGTON iLIGHT Face
and Body to become damp or wet. DO
NOT use REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and
Body near bathtubs, showers, basins, or
other vessels containing water. Failure
to follow these precautions can cause
electrocution or electric shock. Contact
Customer Service for assistance (page
50).
• DO NOT operate REMINGTON iLIGHT
Face and Body with an unapproved
power cord, or if it has a damaged
plug or cord. Keep the REMINGTON
iLIGHT Face and Body cord away from
heated surfaces (such as stoves, fire-
places, radiators or furnaces). Failure
to follow these precautions can cause
electrocution or electric shock. Contact
Customer Service for assistance (page
50).
• DO NOT open the REMINGTON iLIGHT
Face and Body device (except to
replace the removable TREATMENT
CAP and/or LAMP CARTRIDGE) or
attempt to repair your REMINGTON
iLIGHT Face and Body as it contains no
user-serviceable parts. Trying to open
REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and Body
may also damage the device and will
void your warranty. Please contact
Customer Service (page 50) if you have
a broken or damaged device. Failure
to follow these precautions can cause
electrocution or electric shock.
• Hair removal by lasers or intense pulsed
light (IPL) can cause increased hair
growth in some individuals.
• If you’ve had professional or clinical
or self-administered laser or IPL or
electrolysis hair removal treatments,
wait at least 6 months before using
REMINGTON iLIGHT Face and Body. If
you’ve waxed, plucked or epilated hair
in the treatment area, wait at least 6
weeks before using REMINGTON iLIGHT
Face and Body. The device uses the
hair under your skin to disable your hair
at the root, so it is not effective if the
hair has been pulled out.
Precautions
