Important information on safety – Read before using
Using the Homelight epilator cannot be used by everyone. Before using, read the following guidelines.
For more information or personal advice, please visit the website www.babyliss.com or the website
for the distributor in your region.
Finally, if you are unsure about using the Homelight epilator, please consult your dermatologist or your GP.
DO NOT USE the Homelight epilator on naturally dark skin.
The Homelight epilator will remove unwanted hair by selectively attacking the pigments in the
hair shaft.
There is a wide range of pigments in the surrounding skin tissue. The amount of pigment in
a person's skin determines not only the colour, but also the level of risk to which the user is
exposed when using a form of depilation that uses light, regardless of which one.
The treatment of dark skin with the Homelight epilator may lead to side effects, like burns, blisters and
changes in skin colour (hyper or hypopigmentation).
The Homelight epilator was designed with a sensor that will detect the colour of the skin to be treated at
the beginning of each session and from time to time during use. This sensor checks that the energy is only
administered to the appropriate skin types.
DO NOT USE the Homelight appliance on naturally dark skin! It will not work!
DO NOT USE the Homelight appliance on tanned skin or after recent exposure to the sun!
Using the Homelight appliance on skin recently exposed to the sun may have side effects, like burns, blisters
and changes in complexion (hyper or hypopigmentation).
