•
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, sunburns, 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.
