What is sensiLight™
The sensiLight™ device is an over-the-
counter device intended for the removal of
unwanted hair. sensiLight™ is also intended
for permanent reduction in hair regrowth,
defined as a long-term, stable reduction
in the number of hairs regrowing when
measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the
completion of treatment regimen.
RPL™ (Reactive Pulsed Light)
how does it work?
sensiLight™ is based on the scientific
principle of selective photothermolysis.
sensiLight™ RPL™ (Reactive Pulsed Light)
advanced technology uses IPL technology
along with a combination of unique skin
condition sensors. The light penetrates the
epidermis to the dermis and is absorbed
by the melanin in the hair shaft. The heat
is generated by the absorbed light then
dissipates into the follicle and generates
local thermal damage, causing a reduction
in hair growth.
Long-term hair reduction – hair
growth cycle
Two factors play an important role in
optimal long-term hair reduction:
• Hair growth cycle involves three phases:
Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen. Anagen
is the growth phase, while Catagen and
Telogen are the resting phases. Permanent
hair reduction can only occur during the
Anagen phase.
• Skin types (according to the Fitzpatrick
scale) are illustrated on the diagram
at the back cover: darker skin contains
more melanin, which competes with the
targeted hair for energy light absorption.
When more light energy is absorbed
into the skin, there is a greater risk of
adverse effects, and the epidermis may be
damaged.

User interface description
The user interface and control
capabilities include the following
features:
1. ON/OFF and energy selection button –
single button used for the device activation,
deactivation and energy selection.
• Pressing the button (after the device is
connected to the power supply) will turn on
the device at energy level 1. Each press will
change the energy, from the lower level to
the higher, for a total of 3 different energy
levels.
• The device will switch to standby mode
when left unattended or by pressing the
ON/OFF button for 3 seconds.
2. Trigger button (flash pulse activation)
marked as a “flash” on the left side of the
device. The trigger button will activate the
flash lamp if the treatment window is in full
contact with the skin and the skin tone is in
within the allowed range. Pressing the button
once will activate a single pulse, pressing
and holding the button will activate pulses
continuously as long as the button is pressed.

• sensiLight™ is intended for women and men
who desire to remove unwanted hair.
• sensiLight™ is intended for use on the
legs, underarms, bikini line, back and arms.

12345 6
The use of sensiLight™ on naturally dark
skin is forbidden.
• sensiLight™ works best on dark hair or hair
that contains more melanin. Brown and
light brown hair will respond, but typically
will require more treatment sessions. Red
hair may show some response. White,
grey or blond hair shows a more limited
response. Nevertheless, some users
have noted hair reduction after multiple
treatment sessions.
