WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY CAUTIONS

Before you start using i-LIGHT®:

Be sure to read all Warnings and Safety Information. Before you begin, check
to see if i-LIGHT® is suitable for you.

Use the skin and hair chart at the front of this manual (page 2) and the integrated
skin sensor to determine if this device is right for you.

• For Facial Use: Only suitable for female facial hair on the cheeks, sideburns,
chin, neck and above the lips.

• DO NOT use on the eyes, eyebrows or eyelashes. Doing so can cause serious
and permanent eye injury.

SKIN TYPE

• DO NOT use on very dark or black skin, as it may result in burns, blisters and
changes in skin colour.

• DO NOT use on tanned skin or after recent sun exposure, as it may cause
burns or skin injury.

• i-LIGHT® is not effective on naturally white, grey, blonde or red hair.

AREAS NOT TO TREAT:

• DO NOT use on the scalp or ears.

• DO NOT use on male face or neck.

• DO NOT use above the cheekbone (female facial use).

• DO NOT use on nipples, areola or genitals.

• DO NOT use if you have tattoos or permanent makeup in the area to be
treated.

5

• DO NOT use on dark brown or black spots such as moles, birth marks or
freckles.

• DO NOT use on an area of recent surgery, deep peel, laser resurfacing, scars
or skin that has been damaged with burns or scalds.

WHEN NOT TO USE/WHEN TO AVOID USING ILIGHT®

• DO NOT use if you have tanned skin in the intended treatment area, as your
skin may be too dark and treatment in tanned areas could temporarily cause
skin swelling, blisters, or could change the colour of your skin. Wait until
your tan has faded before treating.

• DO NOT use on skin with cosmetics applied, as treating in those areas could
temporarily cause skin swelling, blisters or could change the colour of your
skin. Make sure to thoroughly clean the intended treatment area prior to
use.

• DO NOT flash the same treatment spot multiple times during the same
session, as this could temporarily cause skin swelling, blisters, or could
change the colour of your skin.

• DO NOT treat any area more than once every two weeks, as this will not
speed up results, but could increase likelihood of skin swelling, blistering or
changes to the colour of your skin.

• DO NOT use on damaged skin, including open wounds, cold sores, sunburn
or areas where you have had a skin peel or other skin resurfacing procedure
within the last 6-8 weeks.

• DO NOT use on irritated skin, including rashes or swollen skin. These
conditions can make the skin more sensitive. Wait for the affected area to
heal before use.

• DO NOT use if your skin is sensitive to light. In order to determine if you can
use i-LIGHT®, perform a test on a small patch of skin and wait 24 hours to
determine if there are any adverse reactions before treating more broadly.

• DO NOT use if you are or may be pregnant or are breast-feeding. i-LIGHT®
has not been tested on pregnant women. Hormonal changes are common
during pregnancy and breastfeeding and could increase skin sensitivity and
the risk of skin injury.

• DO NOT flash against any material other than skin.

• DO NOT use i-LIGHT® for any purpose other than hair removal.

• DO NOT treat any area where you may someday want your hair to grow
back. The results may be permanent and irreversible.

6

• DO NOT use if taking a photosensitising medication or herbal remedy
without seeking medical advice as the flash may harm the skin.

• DO NOT use on the face if you have a history of cold sores; use of IPL or any
treatment that irritates skin can cause a recurrence of cold sores.

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.

• If you’ve had professional or clinical or self-administered laser or IPL or
electrolysis hair removal treatments, wait at least 6 months before using
i-LIGHT®. If you’ve waxed, plucked or epilated hair in the treatment area,
wait at least 6 weeks before using i-LIGHT®. The device uses the hair under
your skin to disable your hair at the root, so it is not effective if the hair has
been pulled out.

• DO NOT use directly over or near Active Implantable Medical Devices
such as implantable pacemakers, internal defibrillators, or insulin devices.
Although no problems associated with the use of this device have been
reported during clinical studies, it is recommended to observe all active
implantable medical device warnings regarding the use of electronic
devices to prevent any failure or interruption of an active implantable
device.

• DO NOT use over or near anything artificial such as silicon implants,
Implanon contraceptive implants, pacemakers, injectable fillers (eg. botox),
subcutaneous injection ports (insulin dispenser) or piercings.

• DO NOT use over or near fillings or dental implants.

• Wireless communications equipment may affect the i-LIGHT® device and
should be kept at least 3.3m away.
