Getting Acquainted With i-Light
4
What is i-Light?
i-Light is a home-use device for the reduction of body hair using Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. This is the same technology used in professional hair
removal salons and clinics. If used correctly it can provide long-lasting
hair reduction.
What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and how does the i-Light work?
i-Light 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 active growth of hair. It typically lasts 2-3
weeks (fig. 3).
Telogen Phase (resting phase) – the hair follicle is completely at rest during this
phase, which is the longest phase and lasts about 100 days. During this time, the new
hairs push out the old hairs, allowing the growth cycle to begin again (fig. 4).
What to expect from i-Light
Our studies have shown significant hair reduction after only a single treatment.
However, optimal results are generally not obtained with a single session. For best
results, repeat a treatment session whenever you notice hair starting to
regrow. Results vary by individual, however, most will re-treat areas every two weeks
for three treatments until desired results are achieved.
A few days after the first treatment you may start to notice hair has fallen out.
Some hair growth will occur that is less dense, finer and lighter in color than the origi-
nal hair. This regrowth is perfectly normal and should be expected.
