CGETTING ACQUAINTED WITH i-LIGHT
, What is i-Light?
The i-Light PRO system is a revolutionary light-based device designed for the removal of unwanted body
hair and female facial hair at home.
, 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 the active growth stage of the 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).
Anagen Phase Catagen Phase Telogen Phase
Fig. 2
Fig. 3 Fig. 4
, What to expect from i-Light
It’s important to continue with the full treatment regime to ensure that every active hair is treated. A full
treatment regime is every 2 weeks for three treatments.
Individual results may vary, multiple treatments may be required for optimal results.
After completing the initial treatment regime, continuous regular weekly use will give good results within
6-12 weeks (darker skin tones may take longer).

AWARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS - FACIAL USE
F DO NOT use anywhere near the EYES, EYE BROWS or EYE LASHES. When used as directed the light
should not harm the eyes, however if the scattered light is unpleasant you may wish to close your eyes or
look away.
F DO NOT treat SUN BURNED or TANNED SKIN. Wait until the sunburn or tan has completely faded
before beginning a treatment. Remove cosmetics, lotions and creams (including self-tanning products)
prior to treatment. After treatment, use a fragrance-free lotion (SPF 30+) and try to avoid direct sun
exposure to the treated area for at least 24 hours.
F DO NOTashtheLIPSorotherDARKSPOTS(darkfreckles,moles,birthmarksortattoos)astheseareas
may absorb too much light energy which may cause discomfort or pain. You can cover these areas with

F DO NOT treat inside the NOSTRILS or EARS as these areas are delicate.
F DO NOT use over or near metal fillings, dental implants or braces.
F CAUTION:
Avoid treating areas that contain only vellus hairs (very thin, fine hair known as “peach fuzz”)
as this may result in undesired hair re-growth. Remove any visible hair by shaving or trimming. Do not use
wax, epilation, tweezers or depilation products to remove hair before or during the course of treatment
because they counteract the IPL process. If trimming, ensure you trim hair to no more than 0.5mm.

and pull gently. Store the unused Treatment Head 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 Head 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 – since facial skin tends to be more sensitive, make sure you test on a small patch
before proceeding. See section ‘Test the i-Light device on your skin’for details (fig. 7).
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reectedlightisunpleasant,youmaywant
tocloseyoureyesbeforeeachash.
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.
CTREATMENT TIPS
• Forbestresults,avoidoverlappingashes.Thishelpspreventexposuretomoreenergythanis 
necessary to suppress hair growth. It also ensures that you get the maximum use of the light cartridge.
• Forthemosteectiveresults,alwaysusethehighestintensitylevelthatdoesnotcausediscomforton
the skin. The level you use should feel warm on your skin, but should never cause discomfort.
• Youmaynoticethatbonyareas,suchaselbows,shins,andankles,aremoresensitiveduringtreatment.
This is normal and should not be cause for alarm. To avoid this sensitivity, try stretching the skin away
from the bony area during treatment.

, 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, and
females can use to treat facial hair below the cheekbone. 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 colours include black, dark brown and medium brown.
Q. What areas of my body can I treat with i-Light?
A. i-Light is designed for unisex use on areas below the neck, including the legs, underarms, bikini line,
arms, chest and back. Females can also use on facial hair below the cheekbone.
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.
FDO NOT treat the same area more than once a week.
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 first 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.
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. What are the warnings against using i-Light?
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.
Q. How often do I need to replace the bulb?
A. Thelong-lifelightcartridgewilldeliver65,000ashesregardlessoftheenergylevelselected.Whileitis
unlikely you will ever need to replace it; it can be replaced by another long-life cartridge (SP-6000FQ).
Please contact your local Remington® Service Centre.
Q. Can I use i-Light on my face?
A.
i-Light is suitable for female facial use only below the cheekbone when used with the facial treatment head.
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.

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, grey 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.

1716
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 colour changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).
Review the skin colour chart on page 3 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 (Body treatment head only). i-Light
