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.

• 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.

• 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.

GETTING STARTED

Be patient when first using your i-LIGHT® Compact Control, as with any new

product, it may take a little while to familiarise yourself with the product. Take

the time to acquaint yourself with your i-LIGHT® Compact Control as we are

confident you will receive years of enjoyable use and complete satisfaction.

GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH i-LIGHT® COMPACT CONTROL

The efficiency of hair reduction varies from person to person according to body

area, hair colour, and how the device is used. A typical full hair growth cycle may

take 18-24 months. During this time, multiple treatment sessions are required to

achieve permanent hair reduction.

A typical hair reduction plan during a full hair growth cycle includes:

• Treatments 1-6: Plan two weeks apart.

• Treatments 7-8: Plan four weeks apart.

• Treatments 9+: Treat as needed, until desired results are achieved.

EXPECTED TREATMENT OUTCOMES

Individual response depends on hair type as well as biological factors that may

affect hair growth patterns. Some users may respond quicker or slower than the

average number of treatments.

ENERGY LEVELS

The energy level determines the intensity of the light pulse delivered to your

skin. As the energy level increases, so do hair reduction results, as well as the risk

of possible side effects and complications.

• The device has 5 levels of energy from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest),

represented by 5 energy level indicator lights.

• When the device is turned on, the energy level is set to level 1 automatically.

Only one energy level indicator light will be on.

• To change the energy level, press the control button repeatedly to increase

the energy level from 1 to 5. Once at level 5, press the control button again

to reduce the energy level from 5 back to 1.

• To determine the right energy level for your treatment area, refer to section

BEFORE YOUR FIRST TREATMENT (pg. 11).

PULSING AND GLIDING

Pulsing is the best technique for working at higher energy levels.

Press the treatment window against your skin. Work in rows, either across or

down. Start at one end of each row and progress to the other end. The treatment

window creates temporary pressure marks on the treated area so you can see

areas you have treated. After each pulse, move the treatment window to the next

spot. Keep doing this pulsing action for the area you are treating.

Avoid gaps or overlaps as you use the device.

Gliding is the best technique for working at lower energy levels.

Press the treatment window firmly against your skin and slowly glide over your

skin, either across or down. Make sure that the treatment window is always

touching your skin. At lower energy levels, the device takes only 1-1.5 seconds to

recharge between pulses. This generates a nonstop sequence of flashes.

Glide at a speed so that you avoid gaps or overlaps.

• Do not treat the same area of skin more than once per hair reduction

session.

• Stop use immediately if you have any discomfort.

THE SKIN TONE TESTER

Light-based hair reduction on darker skin tones may result in adverse effects

such as burns, blisters and skin colour changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).

The built-in skin tone tester detects the colour of your skin automatically. The

skin tone tester checks your skin colour at the start of, and occasionally during,

each treatment.

If your skin tone is too dark for safe use, the device will not operate, and the

skin tone tester light will blink.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING USE

For many people, using the device may be their first experience with a light-

based device.

During a treatment session it is normal to experience or feel:

• Noise: This is the cooling fan.

• Popping sounds: These occur with each flash.

• A sensation of warmth and tingling: During each light pulse.

• Some redness: It is not uncommon to see some very mild, pink-like skin

colouration during or just after a treatment. This is usually most noticeable

around the hairs themselves.

• Stop use immediately if you see your skin is very red.

• Contact your physician immediately, if you experience any complication.
