Introducing the Remington® iLIGHT® Ultra Face & Body Hair Removal System
Congratulations on the purchase of your
new Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
Hair Removal System! The Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body Hair Removal
System is a new breakthrough product
that uses Intense Pulsed Light ("IPL")
to remove unwanted hair at-home. The
device utilizes the same clinically-proven
technology that professional dermatologists and salons use, but optimized for
personal treatment of smaller areas in the
privacy and comfort of your own home.
Unlike most at-home hair removal
methods, the Remington iLIGHT Ultra
Face & Body Hair Removal System
doesn’t cut or pull out hair; it actually
uses light energy to work below the
skin’s surface to disable active hairs
at the root. You should gradually notice
fewer hairs in the treatment area within a
few weeks, with results generally improving over time.
The Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face &
Body Hair Removal System is intended
for use on:
• Female Facial Hair (cheeks, sideburns,
chin, neck areas, and above the lips);
with the Facial Cap.
• Male and Female Body Hair (underarms, bikini line, and on legs, arms,
stomach and chest) with the Body Cap.
NOTE: The Remington iLIGHT Ultra
Face & Body device isn’t for everyone. Please review the Contradictions,
Warnings and Precautions to determine if
the device is OK for you to use. See Table
of Contents.

The Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face
& Body Hair Removal System is an
over-the-counter device indicated for
the removal of unwanted body and/
or facial hair in adults with Fitzpatrick
skin types I – IV. The device is also
intended for permanent reduction
in unwanted hair. Permanent hair
reduction is defined as the long-term
stable reduction in the number of hairs
regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and
12 months after the completion of a
treatment regimen.
Skin Tone
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
Hair Removal System is intended for
use only on light to medium skin tones.
To determine if your skin tone is suitable
to use with the device, compare your
skin in the intended treatment areas
with the Skin Tone Chart. See Figure 1.
If it matches the Light to Medium skin
tones below, you can use Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body device. If your
skin tone in the intended treatment area
matches the dark skin tones below, DO
NOT use the device.
The Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face &
Body device also has a built-in SKIN
TONE SENSOR that is designed to
help prevent flashing on skin that is
too dark for treatment. See Step 2 of
"Using the Remington iLIGHT Ultra
Face & Body Hair Removal System for
Treatment" in the Table of Contents for
details. Test each different area you
wish to treat with the Skin Tone Chart
and SKIN TONE TESTER before treating.
Some areas are darker than others.
If you have tanned skin in the intended
treatment area, DO NOT use the
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
device in those areas as your skin may
be too dark for treatment. You should
wait until your tan has completely faded
from any intended treatment area before
using the device.

Hair Color
The light energy targets dark coloring
in hair, and therefore works best on
DARKER HAIR (black, dark brown,
brown or dark blond). DO NOT use
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body on gray or
white hairs or 'peach fuzz,' as it will
not work. The device is less effective
on LIGHT HAIR such as blond or red.

special attention to safety. Please read all
warnings and safety precautions before
use and follow them strictly when using
the device.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device 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 color
of your skin. Wait until your tan has
faded in the treatment area before
treating.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT

with MAKEUP applied, as treating in
those areas could temporarily cause
skin swelling, blisters or could change
the color of your skin. Make sure to
thoroughly clean the intended treatment
area before using the device.
• DO NOT flash the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device on the
identical treatment spot multiple times
during the same session, as this could
temporarily cause skin swelling, blisters, or could change the color of your
skin. See instructions under 'Using the
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
Hair Removal System for treatment' in
the TOC for more information on how to
properly administer treatment.
• DO NOT treat any area more than once
every other week, as this will not speed
up results, but could increase likelihood
of skin swelling, blistering or changing
the color of your skin.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device 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 the Remington iLIGHT

skin, including rashes or swollen skin.
These conditions can make the skin
more sensitive to the light treatment.
Wait for the affected area to heal
before using the device.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device if your
skin is sensitive to light. In order to
determine if you can use the device,
perform a test on a small patch of skin
and wait 24 hours to determine if there
are any adverse reactions before using
the device more broadly. See steps
for testing on a patch of skin in Table
2. Contact Customer Service for more
information or assistance. See page 48.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device if you are
or may be pregnant or are breastfeeding. Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face &
Body 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 flash the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device against any
material other than skin.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device for any purpose other than hair removal.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device on any area
where you may someday want your
hair to grow back. The results may be
permanent and irreversible.
• DO NOT cover any part of the
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
ventilation slots during use, as they help
to keep the device cool during operation. Covering the ventilation slots could
result in the device overheating.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device if the box
packaging or the device appears damaged or if any part of the device body
is cracked or broken. Doing so could
increase the risk of skin or eye injury
from the flash lamp. Contact Customer
Service for assistance. See page 48.
12
• DO NOT allow the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device to become
damp or wet.
• DO NOT use the device near bathtubs,
showers, basins, or other vessels containing water. Failure to follow these
precautions can cause electrocution
or electric shock. Contact Customer
Service for assistance. See page 48.
• DO NOT operate the Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body device with
an unapproved power cord, or if it has
a damaged plug or cord. Keep the
device cord away from heated surfaces
(such as stoves, fireplaces, radiators
or furnaces). Failure to follow these
precautions can cause electrocution
or electric shock. Contact Customer
Service for assistance. See page 48.
• DO NOT open the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device (except to
replace the removable TREATMENT
CAP and/or REPLACEMENT
CARTRIDGE) or attempt to repair the
device as it contains no user-service-
able parts. Trying to open the device
may also damage the device and will
void your warranty. Please contact
Customer Service if you have a broken
or damaged device. See page 48.
Failure to follow these precautions can
cause electrocution or electric shock.
• If you've had professional, clinical, or
self-administered laser, IPL or electrolysis hair removal treatments, wait
at least 6 months before using the
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
device. If you’ve waxed, plucked or epilated hair in the treatment area, wait at
least 6 weeks before using the device.
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 on areas of the skin
with active bacterial, fungal, or viral
infections, as such use could spread
infections to other areas of the skin
(or others users of the device).
Precautions
13
Risks
It is important to use the Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body Hair Removal
System properly. Make sure that you follow all the Warnings, and that you do not
use the device if it is not right for you. See
TOC. If you do not understand any of the
Warnings, or have any questions, please
contact Customer Service. See page 48.
If you use the Remington iLIGHT Ultra
Face & Body device as directed, the
risks are low:
• Your skin may become red within 24
hours after treatment. This redness
generally clears up within a few hours.
If the redness does not go away within
2–3 days, contact Customer Service.
See page 48.
• You may develop temporary blisters,
although these are unlikely for people
with lighter skin tones. If you do develop
a blister, stop using the Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body Hair
Removal System, clean the blister and
cover it with a bandage and change
daily to help prevent the blister from
becoming infected. If you need more
information, contact Customer Service.
See page 48.
• In rare cases, an outbreak of cold
sores may develop in the area(s)
treated that have a history of cold
sores. If the cold sores do not heal
after 7 days, contact Customer
Service. See page 48.
14
Risks
• In rare cases, some users might see
an increase in the number of hairs
growing. This increase is usually
temporary and due to hair growth
cycles. However, if after beginning
use of the Remington iLIGHT Ultra
Face & Body device you believe
that the number of hairs regrowing
in the treated area has increased
since you started treatment, stop
using the device and contact
Customer Service. See page 48.
• Skin swelling, especially around the
hair follicle where you may notice
the skin is slightly higher than
surrounding areas. If the swelling
doesn’t go away within 2–3 days,
stop using the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body Hair Removal
System and contact Customer
Service. See page 48.
• Skin discoloration. If you notice that
your skin tone in the treatment area
has changed, stop using the device
and contact Customer Service. See
page 48.
• Eye Injury. When treating near or
around the eyes, use proper safety
eyewear. Proper safety eyewear
includes eye shields used for tanning
beds and Intense Pulsed Light lenses
for full shield glasses. Both are readily available through the internet.

How Does the Remington® iLIGHT® Ultra Face & Body Hair Removal System Work?
Light-based hair removal is a wellestablished technology that has been
in use worldwide for over 15 years.
The Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face &
Body device uses this technology to
flash your skin with an intense pulse
of light. The energy in the pulse works
under the surface of your skin to target
hairs at the root, helping to stop their
growth. Because the energy in the
pulse of light targets dark coloring, it
works best on darker hair. To avoid
targeting (and possibly damaging) dark
skin, you should use the device only on
light-to-medium skin tones.
How Many Treatments are Needed?
Individual hairs go through a continuous growth cycle with phases of active
growth and phases of rest. Like other
laser or light-based treatments, the
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
device affects only hairs that are in
the active growth phase. Your initial
regimen should be spread out over 1
month to ensure that you target the
most number of active hairs (including those that recently cycled from the
resting phase).
We recommend that you use the
device once every two weeks over the
span of a month, for a total of 3 treatments on each area.
If you have redness, blistering or other
skin irritation in the treatment area, DO
NOT perform treatment. Wait until the
skin returns to normal before using
the Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face &
Body device again. If the irritation does
not go away within 3 days, contact
Customer Service. See page 48.
Use the iLIGHT App, or TREATMENT
CARDS to help keep track of your
treatments. See TOC.
Results aren’t immediate, but you
should have noticeably fewer hairs
within 1 to 2 weeks after you start
treatment. During this time, it may look
like the hair is still growing, but it is
actually being “pushed out.” You may
or may not see these hairs fall out.

What to Expect During and After a Remington® iLIGHT® Ultra Face & Body Treatment
During Treatment
For many people, using the Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body Hair Removal
System is their first experience with a
light-based device. Here are some things
to expect during treatment:
• A Flash of Light: The flash of light that
you see is only part of the light produced by the device. The Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body Contact
Sensors help ensure that most of
the light is directed into the skin. The
remaining visible light should not be
harmful to the eyes, and special eye
protection is not needed as long as
you follow the directions for using the
device in this manual. The Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body device
should NOT be used on the eyes, eyelashes or eyebrows.
• A Sensation of Warmth and Tingling:
It is normal to feel a warm and tingling sensation with each flash. Many
people describe this sensation to be
like a rubber band lightly snapped
against the skin. However, sensations
vary by person and treatment area. If
the sensation is too intense or painful, stop using the device and contact
Customer Service before using again.
See page 48.
Immediately After the First Treatment
• Visible changes to the hair are unlikely
at this point. During and just after your
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
session, it is not uncommon to see
some very mild redness, mostly around
the hairs themselves. This is normal and
typically clears up within a few hours.
If the redness does not go away within
3 days, contact Customer Service. See
page 48.
• If you have redness, blistering or other
skin irritation in the treatment area, DO
NOT perform treatment. Wait until the
skin returns to normal before using the
device again. If the irritation does not
go away with 3 days, contact Customer
Service. See page 48.
20
What to Expect During and After a Remington® iLIGHT® Ultra Face & Body Treatment
One to Two Weeks after the First
Treatment
• Hairs in the treated area will begin to
fall out gradually, but it is unlikely you
will notice significant reduction in hair
at this stage.
• Make sure to complete the full treatment schedule to ensure you hit all
hairs in the growth phase in the targeted area.
Two Weeks after the Last Treatment
• You should see a noticeable reduction in
hairs in the treated area. Also, any new
hair growth should be lighter and finer.
• At this point, additional treatments on
the same area should only be done
as needed to target hairs that have
recently entered the active cycle. You
only need to use the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device for occasional touch-ups, where necessary, or
to treat another area.
21
Once you’ve become familiar with the
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
device and read all the information
on the preceding pages, including the
Warnings and Precautions, you’re ready
to use the device.
This section explains step-by-step how
to operate the device. Read this entire
section carefully before you start treatment. Then refer back to it later as you
follow the steps.
The first time you use the device, you
should test it on a small patch of skin.
See Table 2.
In addition, we recommend that you use
the device in a cooler area where the
temperature is less than 80° F (27° C) to
help prevent the device from overheating
STEP 1: PREPARE SKIN
Before using the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device, prepare
the treatment area by thoroughly
Cleaning, Shaving, and Drying the
intended treatment area. It is important that you remove any makeup
from the treatment area.
Removing surface hair and cleaning the
skin helps to minimize the sensation
felt from the device flashes and allows
the energy to penetrate to the hair root.
Because the device works below the
skin, the device is still effective even if
hairs are not clearly visible.
Using the Remington® iLIGHT® Ultra Face & Body Device for Treatment
22
STEP 2: TURN ON AND UNLOCK the
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
Hair Removal System.
Flip the POWER SWITCH on near the
power inlet.
Each time you turn the Remington
iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body device on,
you will be prompted to test your skin
tone with the SKIN TONE SENSOR. The
device will play a melody to remind you
to test. See Figure 5.
NOTE: Using the Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body device on darker
skin tones can result in damage to the
skin (such as burns, blisters or skin
discoloration). To help protect against
such damage, the device requires that
you test your skin tone before every use.
Since some skin areas are darker than
others, test each different area you want
to treat.
DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT Ultra
Face & Body device on tanned skin.
Even if your natural skin tone is light,
tanning makes it darker—potentially
too dark for treatment. With tanned skin,
wait until the tan has completely faded
before using the device on that area.
Always use the SKIN TONE SENSOR to
determine if your skin is too dark to treat
with the Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face &
Body device by placing the SKIN TONE
SENSOR on the area to be treated. Make
sure your skin in this area is clean and
dry, and shave it if necessary to be sure
it is free of hair.
Using the Remington® iLIGHT ®Ultra Face & Body Hair Removal System for Treatment
23
2b. Always place the SKIN TONE SENSOR
window directly on the area of skin
you plan to treat. The reading will take
place automatically.
Note: You must use the SKIN TONE
SENSOR to test color on each body part
you plan to treat.
2a. Turn the POWER SWITCH on. The
SKIN TONE SENSOR will flash
YELLOW. You will hear a series of
audible “BEEPS” every 5 seconds to
remind you to take the test. For safety
reasons, after 30 seconds of inactivity,
the audible “BEEPS” will increase in
frequency until the test is taken or the
machine is turned off.
SKIN TONE SENSOR LED
will be blinking orange
Figure 5
24
2c. Place the body part to be treated
over the SKIN TONE SENSOR
(touching the unit) the sensor will
immediately read the skin type.
2e. If your skin tone is suitable for
use, a high-pitched “BEEP”
will sound and the SKIN TONE
SENSOR will turn green and the
device is ready for use.
2d.
If your skin tone is NOT suitable for
use, the SKIN TONE SENSOR turns
solid YELLOW and the device will
“BUZZ” once for 5 seconds. After 5
seconds, you may re-try the SKIN
TONE SENSOR (step 2c above).
2f. Once the device is enabled, the
ENERGY LEVEL LIGHT and BULB LIFE
LIGHT will turn on and the internal
fan will start. Your Remington iLIGHT
Ultra Face & Body is set to the lowest
energy level setting and ready for use!
Using the Remington® iLIGHT ®Ultra Face & Body Hair Removal System for Treatment
25
Notes:
• Some areas of skin are darker than
others. You must use the SKIN TONE
SENSOR on each different area you
want to treat.
• If you believe your skin is suitable
based on the Skin Tone Chart in
Figure 1, but the SKIN TONE SENSOR
will not enable the device, contact
Customer Service. See page 48.
• If you have tanned skin in the
intended treatment area, DO NOT
use the Remington iLIGHT Ultra
Face & Body device in those areas
as your skin may be too dark for
treatment. You should wait until
your tan has completely faded from
any intended treatment area before
using the device.
STEP 3: SELECT ENERGY LEVEL
ENERGY LEVEL SELECTION DISPLAY
illuminates the energy level that the
Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
device will deliver to your skin, from the
lowest level ( ) to the highest
level ( ). Higher levels improve
hair removal results, but may be less
comfortable. To get the best results, you
should use the highest setting that’s
comfortable.
There are 5 energy level settings on the
device. Whenever the device is turned
on, it is automatically set to the lowest
energy level and the light will be illuminated on the ENERGY LEVEL SELECTION
DISPLAY. See Table 1. To modify the
energy level, press the ENERGY LEVEL
SELECTION BUTTON to increase the
energy level. Once the energy level has
reached level 5, pressing the ENERGY
LEVEL SELECTION BUTTON will return
the device to energy level 1. The number of lights on the ENERGY LEVEL
SELECTION DISPLAY will coincide with

DO NOT FLASH A PATCH OF SKIN MORE THAN ONCE; YOU WILL NOT GET AN
ACCURATE RESULT AND MAY CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS.
* Side effects include blistering, burns, and changes in skin tone. Wait 15 minutes
to see if acute side effects develop. If you are unsure about your skin's reaction
to a particular energy level, do not treat with that energy level. Wait 24 hours
before treating to be sure you have selected the appropriate energy level.

STEP 5: TREAT YOUR SKIN
The Remington iLIGHT Ultra Face & Body
device can flash approximately every
3 seconds and is ideal for treating both
larger and smaller areas.
Periodically, if either the hand piece or
base unit gets too hot, the ‘Hourglass’
icon will flash and the unit will beep.
Wait for a few minutes to allow the
device to cool down. There is no need
to shut the unit down, as the hourglass and beeps will turn off when
the device is ready to use again. The
number of flashes delivered before
the cool down state depends on several factors, including how fast you
apply the treatments, and the room
temperature. See Figure 6.
5a. Ensure that the energy level is on
the correct setting. See Table 2 for
details about the different settings.
5b. Apply the TREATMENT CAP to
the skin, making sure the skin is
spread evenly and smoothly. Make
sure the SKIN CONTACT SENSORS
on the TREATMENT CAP are in full
contact with the skin.

5c. If the SKIN CONTACT SENSORS are
NOT in full contact with the skin,
the device will not operate if you
press the FLASH BUTTON and it
will “BUZZ”. Double check that the
SKIN CONTACT SENSORS are in full
contact with the skin.
5d. If the SKIN CONTACT SENSORS
on the TREATMENT CAP are in full
contact with the skin, a series of
high-pitched “BEEPS” will sound
indicating the device is OK to flash.
5e. Press the FLASH BUTTON. The
device will flash a pulse of light
onto your skin. You will see a flash
of light and simultaneously hear
a sound, which is normal for the
device. You may feel a mild sensation of warmth and tingling.
