Clearing & Calming

Eliminate Blemishes and Prevent

Future Breakouts

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations on your new Clear Bilight from MICHAEL TODD
BEAUTY, the next generation in photo light therapy.

Effective, safe, pain-free and easy to use, the Clear Bilight uses
not one but two types of light therapy that work synergistically
to treat your acne. Blue light eliminates acne causing bacteria

and red light calms and heals the inammation, two of the major

causes of acne breakouts. The combination of blue and red

light was clinically found to clear mild to moderate inammatory

acne better and faster than either blue light alone or 5% benzoyl
peroxide cream1. The Clear Bilight will be your best friend in the

ght to eliminate acne and prevent future breakouts.

For important information about safety and how to
use the device, please read the full Instructions for Use

booklet before you use your Clear Bilight for the rst time.

If you have any questions or problems with the Clear Bilight, please
contact customer service at: 1-[phone] or customerservice

BEFORE YOU START

WHAT IS THE CLEAR BILIGHT USED FOR?

The Clear Bilight is indicated for the treatment of mild to

moderate inammatory acne.

Mild acne is generally dened as up to approximately 30
spots which may or may not be inamed including papules
(small bumps with a rough texture) and pustules (inamed
bump lled with white or yellow pus, i.e., pimple).

Moderate acne is generally dened as more numerous

spots and pimples (up to approximately 100) with greater

inammation (redness/tenderness).

If you have nodules (solid mass under the skin) or cysts (liquid-

lled bag-like structure under the skin), then your acne is more

severe. Consult your doctor for the appropriate treatment.

HOW DOES THE CLEAR BILIGHT WORK AND HOW
QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?

The Clear Bilight uses two types of light therapy that work
synergistically to treat your acne. Blue light eliminates
acne causing bacteria and red light calms and heals the

inammation. The combination of blue and red light was
clinically found to clear mild to moderate inammatory acne.

Using the Clear Bilight according to the instructions is
expected to result in the destruction of bacteria causing
acne, healing of existing pimples, and the reduction of future
breakouts. The best notable results can be expected after 3
to 7 weeks of daily treatments.

Using the device over cancerous or other type of lesion
can result in delaying the best medical treatment. Typical
characteristics of potentially cancerous lesions include:

• Asymmetry: one half of the abnormal skin area is
different than the other half

• Borders: irregular borders

• Color: varies from one area to another with shades of

tan, brown, or black (sometimes white, red, blue)

• Diameter: usually (but not always) larger than 6 mm in
size (diameter of a pencil eraser)

• Bleeding: Any skin growth that bleeds or will not heal

Do not use if you have a history of light triggered seizures or

migraine headaches.

WARNINGS

• DO NOT use the Clear Bilight on your eyes or eyelids
or stare directly into the lights. ALWAYS WEAR THE

INCLUDED GOGGLES WHEN USING THE Clear Bilight

• DO NOT use the Clear Bilight to treat (i) severe
nodular or cystic acne or (ii) moles, warts, open sores,
cancerous lesions or skin conditions other than mild or
moderate acne. See your healthcare professional.

• DO NOT treat any one affected area of the skin more
than 6 minutes per day (3 minutes blue light and 3
minutes red light).

• DO NOT share the Clear Bilight with other people as
this may result in transferring germs that could cause
infection.

under adult supervision.

• DO NOT use the Clear Bilight if it is where the
handpiece or power cord can come in contact with
water while plugged in.

ammable aerosol products. The Clear Bilight is not

anesthetic mixture with air, Oxygen or Nitrous Oxide.

• DO NOT use the Clear Bilight if your skin is sensitive to

debrillation as the device is not protected against
the high electrical output from debrillators.

• DO NOT use the Clear Bilight if it is visibly damaged
or not functioning properly or attempt to open or
repair the Clear Bilight yourself. There are no user
serviceable parts. Contact customer service at:

PRECAUTIONS

• The Clear Bilight is designed so that the light is only
activated when the treatment head is in contact
with the skin. However, take additional precautions
to protect your eyes by always wearing the goggles
provided with the device and never shine the light
into your eyes or those around you.

• Do not operate the Clear Bilight in the presence of
other devices that intentionally emit electromagnetic

energy in an unshielded manner, as such devices may

affect the Clear Bilight operation (for example, mobile
radio frequency communication equipment).

• Do not scratch, mark or otherwise damage the light
emitting surface.

• The Clear Bilight is intended for short term operation
only.

• Use only the components that come with your Clear
Bilight. Use of any other components, particularly

any other USB Cord, could cause injury to the user or

damage to the equipment.

• The Clear Bilight does not have any user serviceable
or replaceable parts. If you should encounter
problems with your device, do not attempt any
repairs or replacements. Please call customer service
at: [phone] or email us at:

POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS

When used according to the instructions, side effects and
complications associated with use of the Clear Bilight
are rare. However, every cosmetic procedure, including
those designed for home use, involve some degree of risk.
Therefore, it is important that you understand and accept
the risks and complications that can occur with energy­based systems designed for home use. Blue and red light
treatments are generally very well-tolerated. Most users sense
the moderate heat applied by the device during use, with
no further discomfort. ALWAYS WEAR THE INCLUDED GOGGLES

WHEN USING THE DEVICE TO MINIMIZE RISK OF EYE INJURY.

Minor Skin Discomfort / Skin Redness: Your skin may become
slightly irritated and/or red after using the device. This is a

typical and transient phenomenon. If the irritation or redness

does not disappear within a few days, please consult a
physician or a dermatologist.
