What to Expect During and After a Remington

System Treatment
Immediately After the First Treatment
• Visible changes to the hair are unlikely
at this point. During and just after your
Remington iLIGHT device session, it
is not uncommon to see some very
mild redness, mostly around the hairs
themselves. This is normal and typically
clears up within a few hours. If the red-
ness does not go away within 3 days,
contact Customer Service. See page 48.
• If you have redness, blistering or other
skin irritation in the treatment area, DO
NOT perform treatment. Wait until the
skin returns to normal before using the
device again. If the irritation does not
go away with 3 days, contact Customer
Service. See page 48.

One to Two Weeks after the
First Treatment
• Hairs in the treated area will begin to
fall out gradually, but it is unlikely you
will notice significant reduction in hair
at this stage.
• Make sure to complete the full treat-
ment schedule to ensure you hit all
hairs in the growth phase in the tar-
geted area.
Two Weeks after the Last Treatment
• You should see a noticeable reduction in
hairs in the treated area. Also, any new
hair growth should be lighter and finer.
• At this point, additional treatments on
the same area should only be done
as needed to target hairs that have
recently entered the active cycle. You
only need to use the Remington iLIGHT
device for occasional touch-ups, where
necessary, or to treat another area.

Using the Remington iLIGHT Hair Removal System for Treatment
® ®
Once you've become familiar with the
Remington iLIGHT device and read all
the information on the preceding pages,
including the Warnings and Precautions,
you're ready to use the device.
This section explains step-by-step how
to operate the device. Read this entire
section carefully before you start treat-
ment. Then refer back to it later as you
follow the steps.
The first time you use the device, you
should test it on a small patch of skin.
See Table 2.
In addition, we recommend that you use
the device in a cooler area where the
temperature is less than 80° F (27° C) to
help prevent the device from overheating
STEP 1: PREPARE SKIN
Before using the Remington iLIGHT
device, prepare the treatment area
by thoroughly Cleaning, Shaving, and
Drying the intended treatment area.
It is important that you remove any
makeup from the treatment area.
Removing surface hair and cleaning the
skin helps to minimize the sensation
felt from the device flashes and allows
the energy to penetrate to the hair root.
Because the device works below the
skin, the device is still effective even if
hairs are not clearly visible.
