Introducing the Remington®iLIGHT®Ultra Face & Body Hair Removal System
Congratulations on the purchase of your
new Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
Hair Removal System! The Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body Hair Removal
System is a new breakthrough product
that uses Intense Pulsed Light ("IPL")
to remove unwanted hair at-home. The
device 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
methods, the Remington iLIGHT Ultra
Face & Body Hair Removal System
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 improv-
ing over time.
The Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face &
Body Hair Removal System is intended
for use on:
• Female Facial Hair (cheeks, sideburns,
chin, neck areas, and above the lips);
with the Facial 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 Ultra
Face & Body device isn’t for every-
one. Please review the Contradictions,
Warnings and Precautions to determine if
the device is OK for you to use. See Table
of Contents.

The Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face
& Body Hair Removal System is an
over-the-counter device indicated for
the removal of unwanted body and/
or facial hair in adults with Fitzpatrick
skin types I – IV. The device is also
intended for permanent reduction
in unwanted hair. Permanent hair
reduction is defined as the long-term
stable reduction in the number of hairs
regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and
12 months after the completion of a
treatment regimen.
Skin Tone
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
Hair Removal System is intended for
use only on light to medium skin tones.
To determine if your skin tone is suitable
to use with the device, compare your
skin in the intended treatment areas
with the Skin Tone Chart. See Figure 1.
If it matches the Light to Medium skin
tones below, you can use Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body device. If your
skin tone in the intended treatment area
matches the dark skin tones below, DO
NOT use the device.
The Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face &
Body device also has a built-in SKIN
TONE SENSOR that is designed to
help prevent flashing on skin that is
too dark for treatment. See Step 2 of
"Using the Remington iLIGHT Ultra
Face & Body Hair Removal System for
Treatment" in the Table of Contents for
details. Test each different area you
wish to treat with the Skin Tone Chart
and SKIN TONE TESTER before treating.
Some areas are darker than others.
If you have tanned skin in the intended
treatment area, DO NOT use the
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
device in those areas as your skin may
be too dark for treatment. You should
wait until your tan has completely faded
from any intended treatment area before
using the device.

Hair Color
The light energy targets dark coloring
in hair, and therefore works best on
DARKER HAIR (black, dark brown,
brown or dark blond). DO NOT use
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body on gray or
white hairs or 'peach fuzz,' as it will
not work. The device is less effective
on LIGHT HAIR such as blond or red.
