PREPARING FOR USE

CHECK YOUR SKIN TONE

• Consult the skin and hair chart at the front of this manual to ensure your skin is in the suitable range and your hair colour is susceptible to treatment with i-LIGHT.
• Place the skin of your intended treatment area onto the skin sensor - ensure the skin is touching the sensor (Fig. 9).
• If your skin is suitable, you will hear a 'beep' and the i-LIGHT will switch on.
• If your skin is unsuitable, you will hear a 'buzz' and the i-LIGHT will remain switched off.

NOTE: You must use the skin sensor on each body part you wish to treat.

PREPARE YOUR SKIN FOR TREATMENT

• Ensure the area to be treated is clean and free from oils, deodorants, perfume, make up, lotions and creams. Shave the hair from the area to be treated, and ensure the skin is clean and dry.
• For facial use, you may prefer to trim the hair. If trimming; the hair must be trimmed to less than 0.5mm.
• Never use wax, epilation, tweezers or other methods that remove the hair from the root as IPL is not effective if the hair has been pulled out.

PREPARE THE i-LIGHT FOR USE

• Unwrap the hand piece cord from the i-LIGHT base and rest the hand piece back on the base unit.
• Ensure the power switch on the base unit is OFF.
• Connect the power cord to the i-LIGHT base unit at the power inlet.
• Connect the power cord to the wall outlet. Turn the power switch ON.

SELECTING THE ENERGY LEVEL

• The i-LIGHT is equipped with 5 energy levels. Level 1 is the lowest setting and level 5 is the highest setting.

TIP: For the most effective results, always use the highest energy level that does not cause discomfort on the skin.

• To determine the energy level being used, observe the number of lights illuminated on the Energy Level Display.
• Your i-LIGHT will automatically be set to Energy Level 1 each time the device is powered ON. To change the level, press the Energy Level Selection Button.

TEST THE i-LIGHT ON YOUR SKIN

• Before your first full treatment, test the i-LIGHT on a small patch of skin and wait 24 hours to ensure there are no adverse reactions.
• Start at energy level 1.
• Place the i-LIGHT hand piece against your skin so the Flash Window is flush with the skin surface.
• Ensure the Skin Contact Sensors are fully engaged and the Bulb Status Indicator Display is illuminated green.
• Press the Flash Button to deliver a flash.
• Mild to moderate discomfort is normal. If a flash delivered at Energy Level 1 feels tolerable, increase to Energy Level2. Move the device to a different spot and flash the i-LIGHT one more time. Repeat this process until you find the setting that feels right for you.
• Wait 24 hours and then look at the test area. Ifthe skin appears normal, proceed with your first full treatment at the energy level you determined is right for you.

NOTE: You must test the device on each area of the face or body you wish to treat.
