Getting Acquainted With i-Light

What is i-Light?

i-Light is a home-use device for the

of body hair using Intense

Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. This is the same technology used in professional

hair

remova

l salons and clinics. If used correctly it can provide long-lasting

hair reduction.

What is Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and how does the i-Light

work?

i-Light works by directing an extremely short, intense pulse of light into the skin.

The light energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle temporarily dis-

abling the growth mechanism in the hair and delaying hair growth.

Hair follicles typically pass through three phases throughout the hair growth

cycle. These phases are:

Anagen Phase (growing phase) – the active growth phase of the hair follicles.

Melanin concentration is at its highest as it is responsible for pigmentation of the

hair. Only hairs in the anagen phase are susceptible to treatment with IPL (fig. 2).

Catagen Phase (degradation phase) – this is a short transition stage, which fol-

lows the anagen phase and signals the end of active growth of hair. It typically

lasts 2-3 weeks (fig. 3).

Telogen Phase (resting phase) – the hair follicle is completely at rest during this

phase, which is the longest phase and lasts about 100 days. During this time, the

new hairs push out the old hairs, allowing the growth cycle to begin again (fig. 4).

What to expect from i-Light

Our studies have shown significant hair reduction after only a single treatment.

However, 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 will re-treat areas every two

weeks for three treatments until desired results are achieved.

A few days after the first treatment you may start to notice hair has fallen out.

Some hair growth will occur that is less dense, finer and lighter in color than the

original hair. This regrowth is perfectly normal and should be expected.
