Q. How do I care for treated areas following treatment?
A. Avoid unprotected sun exposure to the treated areas.
Q. Should I suspend normal activity after using i-Light?
A. There is no need to suspend normal activity following treatment assuming no abnormal complications
occur. It is recommended that you perform the treatment prior to going to bed so that any resulting
redness fades by morning.

should avoid treating the same area multiple times in one session, as it will not improve efficacy but
increases the risk of skin irritation.
Q. Can I use i-Light if I have blonde, red, gray or white hairs?
A.
i-Light works best on darker hair types because they contain more melanin, the pigment that gives hair
and skin its colour. Melanin is what absorbs the light energy used during i-Light treatment. Black and dark

on naturally dark skin, as it contains too much melanin. Treating dark skin with i-Light can result in
burns, blisters and skin color changes (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation). Review the skin color chart on
page 2 to determine if i-Light is right for you.
