Be patient when first using your i-LIGHT® Smooth Sense, as with any new product, it may take

your i-LIGHT® Smooth Sense as we are confident you will receive years of enjoyable use and 

complete satisfaction.

GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH i-LIGHT® SMOOTH SENSE

What is i-LIGHT®?

The i-LIGHT® Smooth Sense system is a revolutionary light-based device designed for the 

removal of unwanted body hair and female facial hair at home.
i-LIGHT® Smooth Sense utilises similar clinically-proven technology that professional 

dermatologists and salons use, optimised for personal 

treatment.

What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and how does 

i-LIGHT® Smooth Sense work?

IPL - (Intense Pulsed Light) is a well-established technology 

used worldwide for over 15 years. i-LIGHT ® uses this 

technology to flash your skin with an intense pulse of light.
The pulse works under the skin’s surface to target hairs at the 

root, disabling the hair follicle and hair regrowth (Fig 1).
The energy in the pulse of light targets dark colouring, and  

best results are seen on darker hair. To avoid targeting (and 

possibly damaging) very dark brown/black skin, you should 

only use i-LIGHT® on light to dark skin tones (I-V). Consult the 

skin tone chart on page 2 to ensure this device is right for you.

What to expect from i-LIGHT® Smooth Sense

Results aren’t immediate, and individual results vary. Most 

users will begin to notice fewer hairs within 1-2 weeks after 

beginning treatment. During this time it may look like the hair 

is still growing, but it is actually being ‘pushed out’ (Fig 2).
