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 and the integrated skin sensor to determine if
this device is right for you (Fig 1).
WARNING: i-LIGHT is not suitable for very dark or black skin. i-LIGHT is not eective on light or grey
hair and is less eective on blonde and red hair.
For facial use: Only suitable for female facial hair on the cheeks, sideburns, chin, neck areas and above
the lips (Fig 2).
DO NOT use on the eyes, eyebrows or eyelashes. Doing so can cause serious and permanent eye injury.
Skin Type
• Do not use on naturally dark 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 eective on light or grey hair and is less eective on blonde and red hair.
Areas not to treat:
• Do not use on the scalp or ears.
• Do not use on face or neck (male).
• Do not use above the cheekbone (females).

4
• Do not use if you have tattoos or permanent makeup in the area to be treated.
• 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 ash 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 every two weeks, as this will not speed up results, but could
increase likelihood of skin swelling, blistering or changing the colour of your skin.
• DO NOT use on damaged skin, including open wounds, cold sores, sunburns, 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 aected 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 or breast-feeding and
could increase skin sensitivity and the risk of skin injury.
• DO NOT ash 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.
• 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.
• 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 eective if the hair has been pulled out.
• Do not use over or near anything articial such as silicon implants, Implanon contraceptive
implants, pacemakers, subcutaneous injection ports (insulin dispenser) or piercings.
• DO NOT use directly over or near Active Implantable Medical Devices such as implantable
pacemaker, internal debrillator, or insulin devices. Although no problems associated with the use
of this device have been reported during 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.
• Wireless communications equipment may aect the i-LIGHT device and should be kept at least
3.3 m away.
• Do not use over or near llings or dental implants.
