Total score for Genetic Disposition:
Q. Should I suspend normal activity after using i-Light?
A.
There is no need to suspend normal activity following treatment assuming no abnormal
complications occur. It is recommended that you perform the treatment prior to going to
bed so that any resulting redness fades by morning.
Q. Is i-Light dangerous for the skin after long term use?
A.
There have not been any reported side effects or skin damage from long-term use of
intense pulse light.
Q. How often should I treat with i-Light?
A. An interval of 2 weeks for the initial treatment, is proven to be the most effective in hair
reduction. You should avoid treating the same area multiple times in one session, as it will
not improve efficacy but increases the risk of skin irritation.
Q. Can I use i-Light if I have blonde, red, gray or white hairs?
A. i-Light works best on darker hair types because they contain more melanin, the pig-
ment that gives hair and skin its color. Melanin is what absorbs the light energy used
during i-Light treatment. Black and dark brown hairs respond the best. Brown and light
brown hairs will also respond, but typically require more treatments. Red hairs may show
some response. White, grey or blonde hairs usually don’t respond to i-Light treatments,
although some users have noted results after multiple treatments.
Q. Can I use i-Light if I have naturally dark skin?
A. No. i-Light is designed to react with the dark pigment of the hair. As a result, dark brown
and black skin may absorb too much of the device’s energy (heat), which may cause
skin damage. Do not use i-Light on naturally dark skin, as it contains too much melanin.
Treating dark skin with i-Light can result in burns, blisters and skin color changes (hyper-
or hypo-pigmentation). Review the skin color chart on page 3 to determine if i-Light is
right for you.
Q. Do I need eye protection while using i-Light?
A. No, it is not harmful to the eyes, unless it is directed to the face. i-Light features a safety
system which prevents unintentional flashing when the device is not in contact with the
skin.
The small amount of light emitted during treatment is similar to that of a camera flash
and is not harmful to the eyes, unless it is directed to the face.
Q. Can I use i-Light if I am pregnant or nursing?
A. No. i-Light has not been tested on pregnant women, therefore we do not recommend
using i-Light if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Hormonal changes could increase sen-
sitivity and the risk of injury to the
