Avoid unprotected sun exposure to the treated areas.
Q. Should I suspend normal activity after using i-Light?

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.

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?

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. Why is my hair growing despite treatments?
A.
Hair continues to grow for up to 2 weeks after treatment, at which time you will notice the
hair beginning to fall out. Another reason for continued growth could be that the area was
missed during a treatment. Continue to treat the area whenever you notice regrowth.
Q. Why can’t I use i-Light after recent sun exposure?
A.
Sun exposure causes high levels of melanin to be present and exposes the skin to higher
risk of burns or blisters following treatment.
