ENGLISH Frequently Asked Questions (www.remington-ilight.com) Q. What is i-Light? What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL)? A. IPL works by directing an extremely short, intense pulse of filtered light into the skin. The light is absorbed by the coloured pigments in and surrounding the hair and disables the hair follicle temporarily, preventing hair regrowth. Q. Who can use i-Light? A. Both men and women can use i-Light to remove unwanted hair anywhere below the neck.
GB ENGLISH Q. What are the warnings against using i-Light? A. Certain conditions may limit your ability to use the unit. Please read the Warnings and Safety Precautions section in the User Manual in its entirety before using i-Light. Q. How often do I need to replace the bulb? A. The bulb needs to be replaced after 1500 flashes. The Bulb Status Indicator Light will illuminate green for the first 1350 flashes of the cartridge life. It will turn to a yellow light to designate that only 150 flashes remain.
