GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH i-LIGHT®
, What is i-
LIGHT
?®
The i-
LIGHT
® system is a revolutionary light-based device designed for the removal of unwanted body hair
and female facial hair at home.
i-
LIGHT®
utilises similar clinically-proven technology that professional dermatologists and salons use,
optimised for personal treatment.
, What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and how does i-
LIGHT®
work?
IPL - (Intense Pulsed Light) is a well-established technology used worldwide for over 15 years. i-
LIGHT®
uses
The pulse works under the skin’s surface to target hairs at the root, helping to stop their growth. (Fig 1)
The energy in the pulse of light targets dark colouring, and best results are seen on darker hair.
To avoid targeting (and possibly damaging) dark skin, you should only use i-
LIGHT®
on light to medium skin
tones (I-IV).
, What to expect from i-LIGHT®
Results aren’t immediate, and individual results vary. Most users will begin to notice fewer hairs within 1-2
weeks after beginning treatment. During this time it may look like the hair is still growing, but it is actually
being ‘pushed out’ (Fig. 2).
