notice that this hair falls out or comes away from its follicle. That said, we recommend you do not pull the
hair from the follicle – let it fall out naturally. Moreover, some hair will not be affected by the Homelight
epilator either because of poor application or because the hair was in its dormant phase. This hair will be
treated in the following sessions, hence the need for several sessions to achieve the expected results with
the Homelight epilator.
12. I’ve heard that some hair grows back lighter and finer after photo-epilation. Is this true?
This phenomenon is well documented by beauticians and doctors who use pulsed light appliances for
depilation treatments. It is possible that some hair grows back lighter and finer after an Homelight epilator
session. Generally, this hair only represents an tiny part of the original hair growth, treatments should therefore
be continued to achieve the desired result.
13. Is long-term use of the Homelight epilator dangerous for my skin?
Over the last 15 years, the use of the pulsed light in aesthetic medicine has been well documented in
professional journals. These journals and institutions have not reported any side effects or injuries connected
with long-term use of pulsed light appliances.
14. Can I use the Homelight epilator to eliminate chin or facial hair?
Homelight epilator from BaByliss allows facial hair removal (cheeks, upper lip, and chin). However, the
Homelight epilator may not be used for epilation of eyelashes, eyebrows or head hair. Please wear a pair of
protective glasses when using.
15. How long should I wait before using the Homelight epilator if I am not protected from the sun’s rays?
You should avoid exposure to the sun before and after treatment with the Homelight epilator no matter
which part of the body has been treated. You must use suitable protection, e.g., a covering garment or a sun
cream (with a protection factor of 50+) which you should then use regularly for three weeks before and after
treatment. Ideally, you should wait 4 weeks before using the Homelight epilator if you have been exposed to
the sun without protection. If you have the least doubt about exposure to the sun consult your doctor or
contact the BaByliss customer service.
16. What should I do before I use the Homelight epilator?
Before each session with the Homelight epilator, it is important that the area to be treated has not been
exposed to the sun for at least four weeks. A sun screen with a high protection factor (protection factor
of 50+) could be some help, as well as clothes that cover the area to be treated. Moreover, the area to be
treated should be washed with soap and water beforehand and then shaved clean of hair.
17. How do I take care of the treated area after using the Homelight epilator ?
The area treated with the Homelight epilator may be cleaned and cared for with well-known skin care
products. Specific precautions should be taken to avoid unprotected exposure to the sun. Sun screens with
a higher protection factor (protection factor of 50+) and long clothing are good protection against the sun.
18. Should I remove hair before, between and after treatments?
No, do not remove hair before, during or after treatments. The hair will fall out on its own naturally and
gradually. This stage may last up to two weeks.
