Treatment Tips; Post-Treatment Care - Remington i-Light Manual

Treatment Tips

■ For best results, avoid overlapping flashes. This helps prevent exposure to more energy
than is necessary to suppress hair growth. It also ensures that you get the maximum use
of the light cartridge.
■ For the most effective results, always use the highest intensity level that does not cause
discomfort on the skin. The level you use should feel warm on your skin, but should never
cause discomfort.
■ Optimal results are generally not obtained with a single session. For best results, repeat a
treatment session whenever you notice hair starting to regrow. Results vary by individual,
however, most people will treat areas every two weeks for the first three treatments, until
desired results are achieved.
■ You may notice that bony areas, such as elbows, shins, and ankles, are more sensitive
during treatment. This is normal and should not be cause for alarm. To avoid this
sensitivity, try stretching the skin away from the bony area during treatment.

Post-Treatment Care

After treatment, you may experience slight redness or a warm sensation on your skin. This
is normal and will disappear quickly. To avoid irritation to your skin after a treatment, take the
following precautions:
■ Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours after a treatment. Protect the skin with SPF 30 for 2
weeks after each treatment.
■ After treatment, keep the area clean and dry and drink plenty of water to keep skin
hydrated.
■ Do not handle the treated area roughly.
■ Do not take hot baths, showers, or use steam rooms and saunas for 24 hours after
treatment.
■ Do not swim for 24 hours after treatment.
■ Do not take part in contact sports for 24 hours after treatment.
■ Do not wear tight-fitting clothing over the treated area.
■ Do not prolong sun exposure such as sunbathing, using a tanning bed, or self-tan for at
least 2 weeks after the last treatment.
