What is i-Light?
i-Light is a home-use device for the removal 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 colour than the than the original hair.
This regrowth is perfectly normal and should be expected.

Frequently Asked Questions (www.remington-ilight.com)
Q. What is i-Light? What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL)?
A. IPL works by directing an extremely short, intense pulse of filtered light into the skin. The light is
absorbed by the coloured pigments in and surrounding the hair and disables the hair follicle
temporarily, preventing hair regrowth.
Q. Who can use i-Light?
A. Both men and women can use i-Light to remove unwanted hair anywhere below the neck. i-Light has
been designed for individuals with light to medium skin tones and dark hair. Safe skin tones include
white, ivory, tan, beige, and light brown only. Safe natural hair colors include black, dark brown, and
medium brown.
Q. What areas of my body can I treat with i-Light?
A. i-Light is designed to be used on areas below the neck, including the legs, underarms, bikini line, arms,
chest and back.
Q. What can I expect from i-Light?
A.i-Lightprovidessafeandeectivesalon-gradehairremovalusingIPLtechnology.
Q. What are the risks involved with i-Light? Is it safe?
A. i-Light is safe to use, but like any electronic device it is important that you read and follow the
operating instructions.
Q. How often should I use i-Light?
A. You should use i-Light whenever you start to see hair regrowth.
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.
Q. When will I begin to see results?
A. Results are not immediate. Hair may sometimes appear to be growing back after treatment but many
of these hairs will begin to fall out after two weeks.
Hairgrowsinacycleof3dierentphaseswhichlasts18-24months.Onlyhairsintheanagenphaseare
susceptible to treatment, which is why multiple treatments are required for optimal results. The results are
generallynoticeablewithinafewweeksofthersttreatment.Continuousregularweekly(orevery2
weeks for three treatments) use will give good results within 6 to 12 weeks (darker skin may take longer).
Q. Why is my hair growing despite treatments?
A. Hair continues to grow for up to 2 weeks after treatment, at which time you will notice the hair
beginning to fall out. Another reason for continued growth could be that the area was missed during a
 treatment.Continuetotreattheareawheneveryounoticeregrowth.Note:donottreatthesamearea
more than once a week.
Q. Why can’t I use i-Light 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. Can I use i-Light on my face?
A. No. i-Light is not recommended for use on the face or the neck.
Q. How do I care for treated areas following treatment?
A. Avoid unprotected sun exposure to the treated areas.
Q. Should I suspend normal activity after using i-Light?
A. There is no need to suspend normal activity following treatment assuming no abnormal complications
occur. It is recommended that you perform the treatment prior to going to bed so that any resulting
redness fades by morning.
Q. Is i-Light dangerous for the skin after long term use?
A.Therehavenotbeenanyreportedsideeectsorskindamagefromlongtermuseofintensepulselight.
Q. How often should I treat with i-Light?
A.Anintervalof2weeksfortheinitialtreatment,isproventobethemosteectiveinhairreduction.You
should avoid treating the same area multiple times in one session, as it will not improve efficacy but
increases the risk of skin irritation.
Q. Can I use i-Light if I have blonde, red, gray or white hairs?
A. i-Light works best on darker hair types because they contain more melanin, the pigment that gives hair
and skin its colour. Melanin is what absorbs the light energy used during i-Light 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 treatments, although some users have noted results after multiple treatments.
Q. Can I use i-Light if I have naturally dark skin?
A. No. i-Light is designed to react with the dark pigment of the hair. As a result, dark brown and black skin
may absorb too much of the device’s energy (heat), which may cause skin damage. Do not use i-Light
on naturally dark skin, as it contains too much melanin. Treating dark skin with i-Light can result in
burns, blisters and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation). Review the skin color chart on
page 2 to determine if i-Light is right for you.
Q. Do I need eye protection while using i-Light?
A. No, it is not harmful to the eyes, unless it is directed to the face. i-Light features a safety system which

Q. Can I use i-Light if I am pregnant or nursing?
A. No. i-Light has not been tested on pregnant women, therefore we do not recommend using i-Light if
you are pregnant or breast feeding. Hormonal changes could increase sensitivity and the risk of injury
to the skin.

Was ist i-Light?
i-LightisteinGerätzurEntfernungvonKörperbehaarung.EssetztdieIntensePulsedLight(IPL)-Technologie
für die Anwendung zu Hause ein. Dies ist die gleiche Technik, die in der professionellen kosmetischen
HaarentfernungundinKlinikeneingesetztwird.BeisachgemäßerAnwendungkannsieeinedauerhafte
ReduzierungderKörperbehaarungerzielen.
Was genau ist Intense Pulse Light (IPL) und wie wirkt das i-Light?
i-Light bedeutet, dass ein extrem kurzer, intensiver Lichtimpuls in die Haut geschickt wird. Diese
Lichtenergie wird durch das Melanin im Haarfollikel absorbiert. Dabei wird der Wachstumsmechanismus
vorübergehendaußerKraftgesetztunddasHaarwachstumwirdaufgehalten.
Die Haarfollikel durchlaufen in ihrem Wachstumszyklus in der Regel drei Phasen des Haarwachstums:
Anagen Phase (Wachstumsphase) – die aktive Wachstumsphase der Haarfollikel. Da sie für die
Pigmentierung der Haare verantwortlich ist, ist die Melaninkonzentration jetzt am höchsten. Eine
IPLBehandlung ist nur in der Anagen-Phase der Haare wirksam (Abb. 2).
Katagen Phase (Übergangsphase)) – eine kurze Übergangsphase, die auf die Anagen-Phase folgt und das
Ende des aktiven Haarwachstums anzeigt. Sie dauert in der Regel 2 bis 3 Wochen (Abb. 3).
Telogen Phase (Ruhephase) – während dieser Phase befindet sich das Haarfollikel in einer vollständigen
Ruhephase. Sie ist mit ca. 100 Tagen die längste Phase. Während dieser Zeit schieben die neuen Haare die
alten heraus, so dass der Wachstumszyklus wieder von neuem beginnen kann (Abb. 4).
Was i-Light leisten kann
UnsereStudienhabeneineerheblicheReduzierungderKörperbehaarungbereitsnachnureiner
Anwendung nachgewiesen. Allerdings können mit nur einer Sitzung keine optimalen Ergebnisse erzielt
werden.UmoptimaleErgebnissezuerzielen,wiederholenSiedieBehandlung,sobaldSieeinerneutes
Haarwachstum feststellen. Die Ergebnisse können individuell unterschiedlich ausfallen. Jedoch ist davon
auszugehen, dass die behandelten Bereiche alle zwei Wochen insgesamt drei Mal nachbehandelt werden
müssen, um die gewünschten Ergebnisse zu erzielen.
Einige Tage nach der ersten Behandlung werden Sie feststellen können, dass Haare ausgefallen sind.
Es können Haare nachwachsen, die weniger dicht, feiner und in der Farbe heller sind als das ursprüngliche
Haar.
Dieses Nachwachsen ist absolut normal und zu erwarten.
