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.
- Page 16 ■ Do not depilate (waxing, plucking, threading or creams) during the treatment – shaving is acceptable as long as you avoid shaving 24 hours after each treatment. ■ Do not use bleaching creams or perfumed products for 24 hours after treatment.

The results are generally notice able within a few weeks of the first treatment. Continuous regular weekly (or every 2 weeks for three treatments) use will give good results within 6 to 12 weeks (darker skin may take longer).
- Page 21 Q. Is i-Light dangerous for the skin after long term use? A. There have not been any reported side effects or skin damage from long- term use of intense pulse light. Q. How often should I treat with i-Light? A. An interval of 2 weeks for the initial treatment, is proven to be the most effective in hair reduction.
