Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your
new i-Light® Pro Intense Pulsed Light
(IPL) Hair Removal system! You’re on
your way to being liberated from the daily
chore of hair removal.
The i-Light® Pro IPL system is a revolu-
tionary light-based device designed for
the removal of unwanted body hair at
home. It uses the same Intense Pulsed
Light (IPL) technology that professional
dermatologists and salons use, but is
optimized for use in the privacy and com-
fort of your own home.
Unlike most at-home hair removal meth-
ods, the i-Light® Pro IPL system doesn’t
cut or pull out hair—it actually works
below the skin’s surface to disable active
hairs and helps prevent new ones from
growing. This is a gradual process. You’ll
start to see results within two weeks
after your initial treatment and results will
improve gradually over time.

How does the i-Light® Pro IPL System Work?
The process of light-based hair removal is
well-known and has been clinically prov-
en around the world for over 15 years.
The i-Light® Pro system uses this same
proven technology to emit an intense
pulse of light (IPL) to heat up and dis-
able active hair follicles. The light energy
targets dark coloring in body hair, which
is why it works best on lighter skin tones
and naturally dark hair. To determine if
your skin and hair color are ok to use
with the i-Light® Pro IPL system, refer to
information provided on page 10 and 11.
Every hair in our body goes through a
continuous growth cycle, from active
to resting phases. The time it takes to
complete a full hair growth cycle varies,
but is typically 18-24 months. Light-
based treatments only affect hairs in
the active phase, which can account for
up to 90% of hair follicles. That’s why
we recommend using the i-Light® Pro
system three times in the first month to
ensure you hit every active hair.After that,
use the i-Light® Pro system as needed
for any missed hairs or hairs that have
recently become active.
• The first 3 sessions with the i-Light®
Pro IPL system should be 2 weeks apart.
• After that, use the i-Light® Pro system
when you start to see hair re-growth in
the treated area.
• Do NOT treat the same body part more
often than every 2 weeks.
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.” You may or may not see
these stubs pushed out from the skin.
If you start treating a different body part,
start the process over for that body part.

4. PLACE HAND PIECE ON AREA TO BE
TREATED (see page 28)
• 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
5. TREAT YOUR SKIN (see page 28-31)
• 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 of the
i-Light® Pro. If this is your first time using
the i-Light® Pro it is critical that you read
the entire Use and Care Guide for com-
plete directions for important contraindi-
cations, warnings, benefits and risks and
detailed use instructions.

The i-Light® Pro IPL system is an over-
the-counter device intended for removal
of unwanted hair.
Skin Tone
It is intended for use only on light to
medium skin colors. To determine if
your Skin Tone is suitable to use with
i-Light® Pro place skin in each intended
treatment area next to the Skin Tone
Chart on page 11. If your Skin Tone
matches panels 1-4, you can use the
i-Light® Pro IPL system. If your Skin
Tone matches 5-6, DO NOT use the
system.
The i-Light® Pro system is also equipped
with a built-in SKIN TONE SENSOR that is
designed to help prevent flashing on skin
that is too dark or too tanned for treat-
ment. See page 24-25 for details. Always
test each different area you wish to treat
with the Skin Tone Chart and Skin Tone
Sensor before treating. Some areas are
darker than others.
What Is the Intended Use for the i-Light® Pro IPL System? (Indications)
Hair Color
It is intended for use on naturally black
or brown hair. Do not use i-Light® Pro
on white or gray hair because it will not
work. IPL is less effective on lighter colors,
such as blond or red hair.
Body Areas
It is intended for use by women and men
on body hair below the neck, including
legs, underarms, bikini line, chest, stom-
ach, and arms. It has NOT been cleared
