Preparing For Use - Remington iLIGHT IPL8500 Mode D'emploi

ENGLISH

PREPARING FOR USE

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
• Connect the power cord to the wall outlet.
CHECK YOUR SKIN TONE
• To determine if your skin tone is suitable for use with the device, compare your skin in the intended treatment areas
with the Skin Tone Chart (Fig 1) at the front of this manual.
• If your skin matches either the light, medium or dark skin tones in the Skin Tone Chart (I-V), you can use this i-LIGHT
device.
• If your skin in the intended treatment area matches the darkest skin tone in the Skin Tone Chart, DO NOT use the
device (Skin Tone VI).
• This i-LIGHT has a built-in SKIN TONE TESTER on the treatment head that is designed to help prevent inadvertent
flashing on skin that is too dark for treatment.
• If your skin is suitable for treatment i-LIGHT will provide a flash and the LED lights on the side of the hand piece will
illuminate white. The number of lights illuminated will indicate your Skin Tone.
• If your skin is too dark for treatment, you will receive a low energy flash followed by four audible beeps and the LED
lights on the side of the hand piece will illuminate red.
• If you believe your skin is suitable based on the Skin Tone Chart (Fig 1), but the device flashes and four audible
beeps follow, try another treatment area.
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.
1. Place the i-LIGHT hand piece against your skin so the Flash Window is flush with the skin surface.
2. Ensure the Skin Contact Sensors are fully engaged and that the LED lights illuminate white.
3. Select your preferred mode and press the flash button to deliver a flash.
TIP: As mild to moderate discomfort is normal, you may want to start with Sensitive Mode only switching to Power
Mode when you feel comfortable in doing so.
4. Wait 24 hours and then look at the test area. If the skin appears normal, proceed with your first full treatment using
the mode that you determined is right for you.
NOTE: You must test the device on each area of the face or body you wish to treat.
SELECTING THE OPERATING MODE
• The integrated SKIN TONE TESTER on the treatment head will set the appropriate power level for each setting
based on the skin tone registered.
• This i-LIGHT device has 3 different operating modes, Power Mode (Full Power), Sensitive Mode and Express Mode.
The unit will be in Power Mode when it is turned ON. It will flash approximately every 3 seconds on Power Mode and
Sensitive Mode and less than 1 second on Express Mode.
H
Power Mode
Power Mode (Full Power) will provide the highest power levels that are appropriate for you. This mode is ideal for
treating both larger and smaller areas. Power Mode will give you the best hair removal results in fewer treatments, but
may be less comfortable.
G
Sensitive Mode
Sensitive Mode is for those who find the Power Mode to be too intense. Sensitive Mode is a less powerful mode
available for those who are sensitive to discomfort but still desire to remove unwanted hair. With this mode you may
have to do a few more treatments to see desired results.
