1.3. Safety precautions

A number of safety precautions are necessary before using Homelight® in order to avoid undesired side effects: •D o not use Homelight® on dark skin. Treating dark skin with Homelight® can lead to side effects such as burns, blisters or changes to skin colour (hyper- or hypo-pigmentation).

•D o not use Homelight® on skin which is tanned or has recently been

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 38

02/06/2015 11:31 AM EN

• Do not expose yourself to sunlight without protection: - during the 4 weeks prior to treatment with Homelight® - during the 2 weeks following treatment with Homelight® • “Exposing yourself to sunlight without protection” means exposing yourself to direct sunlight for a continuous period of fifteen minutes or exposing yourself to indirect sunlight continuously for an hour. • If you are exposed to sunlight, you must use adequate protection, such as a garment or sunscreen (with SPF over 50), which must be used regularly for the 3 weeks before and after treatment. • Warning: You must also follow exactly these same instructions if you are exposed to UV light on a sunbed. •D o not use Homelight® if you have applied any self-tanning cream to your skin. You should allow for the tanning effect of the cream to disappear completely before using Homelight®.

•D o not use Homelight® on or around your eyes as this can cause serious eye injuries. Homelight® is not suitable for depilating eyelashes and eyebrows. Never look directly into the light pulses.

Keep Homelight® well away from your eyes! •D o not treat the same area of skin more than once per session! Do not overlap the light pulses! • I f any burns or blisters appear, stop using Homelight® immediately! • E nsure you cover up any birthmarks, tattoos, sun spots, freckles, birthmarks, warts or growths before using the Homelight® depilator. • Shave the treatment area before using Homelight® • Ensure your skin is clean before using Homelight®. •D o not use Homelight® on your scrotum, vagina, labia minora, anus, nipples, areolas, inside ears or inside your nose. •D o not use Homelight® on any part of the body where you may wish hair to grow at a later stage.

2. How Homelight® works

Homelight® from BaByliss is a personal depilator that uses IPL (intense pulsed light) for easy and sustained removal of unwanted hair that will not grow back.

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 40

EN Using IPL technology, Homelight® painlessly removes hair by emitting pulsed light. The pulsed light targets the pigment present in the hair (melanin) to get through to the root and prevent the hair from growing back. Therefore, the more melanin the hair contains (i.e. the darker the hair colour), the more light the hair can absorb and the more conclusive the results will be. IPL technology has been used widely by professionals for more than 15 years and clinical studies have proven that it is effective and safe.

2.2. Hair growth cycle

The hair growth cycle plays a key part in the process of IPL depilation using Homelight®. Therefore, it is important to understand how the full hair growth cycle works in order to achieve lasting results with Homelight®. The hair growth cycle consists of three successive phases: • Anagen (hair growth phase) • Catagen (hair transition phase) • Telogen (hair resting phase)

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 41

18 to 24 months Telogen

02/06/2015 11:31 AM EN Before a Homelight® treatment

During the pulse emitted by Homelight®

(hair transition phase)

After a Homelight® treatment

(hair resting phase)

The full hair growth cycle lasts on average between 18 and 24 months.

Most hairs are in one of the two resting phases (catagen and telogen). Homelight® has no effects on hairs in resting phases. Homelight® is effective, however, on hairs in the growth phase (anagen). Therefore, multiple depilation sessions with Homelight® are required to be effective on all of the hairs and to achieve lasting results.

2.3. Planning depilation sessions with Homelight®

You should plan your depilation sessions with Homelight® beforehand! We recommend you follow the following schedule which has delivered excellent results: • The first 4 depilation sessions with Homelight® should be 2 weeks apart. • The following depilation sessions with Homelight® should be 4 weeks apart (until the desired result is achieved).

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 42

• I f hair grows back subsequently, you will then use Homelight® on an occasional basis to achieve lasting results, ensuring at least 4 weeks between the depilation sessions.

onths. gen). is ore,

• Treating the same area more than once in a two-week period does not improve results and risks having undesired effects. • I t is recommended that you use Homelight® with moderation, i.e. not repeating the treatment with Homelight® indefinitely. A full treatment (7 to 8 depilation sessions in total) performed once every year is sufficient for very satisfactory results. N.B.: Hormonal factors and physiological changes can cause resting hairs to become active. Maintenance depilation sessions with Homelight® can be performed (with at least 4 weeks between the sessions).

2.4. Length of sessions with Homelight®

Average length of treatment

N.B.: The different operating modes (Glide and Precision) are explained in section 4.1.

2.5. Results to expect from depilation with Homelight®

The effectiveness of Homelight® can vary: • from person to person, • depending on the treatment area, • depending on the colour of the hair. Note: Homelight® is not effective on white, grey or light-blonde hair. White, grey and light-blonde hair has a small melanin content so will not respond sufficiently to pulsed light treatment using Homelight®. N.B.: - It is quite common for hair to seem to continue growing for one or two weeks after a depilation session with Homelight® (this is called ejection). However, after two weeks you will see these hairs fall out or detach themselves from the follicles. We advise you against pulling hairs to make them detach. Let hairs fall out naturally. - It is possible for some hairs to grow back lighter and finer than before,

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 44

following a depilation session with Homelight®. This phenomenon has been extensively documented by beauticians and doctors who use pulsed light devices for depilation treatments.

3. Before using Homelight®

3.1. Selecting the level of intensity

Homelight® features 5 levels of intensity, running from the lowest

(level 1) to the highest (level 5). The level of intensity indicates the intensity of the pulsed light applied to the skin when using Homelight®. To select the required level of intensity for your own skin, follow these steps: A. Which phototype are you To select the required level of intensity to use Homelight®, it is important that you work out your phototype (skin type) using the removable intensity selection guide. The removable intensity selection guide shows the different phototypes (phototypes I to VI) and the levels of intensity of Homelight® recommended for each phototype. The removable intensity selection guide is easy to detach from the device and can be held up against the skin to determine your skin’s phototype.

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 46

02/06/2015 11:31 AM EN N.B.:

• We recommend that you hold the removable intensity selection guide against an area such as the back of your wrist (because this is an area of the body which is usually darker as it is exposed to the sun more). • If in doubt between two phototypes, choose the darker one. Note: In order to use Homelight® safely, the removable intensity selection guide absolutely must be used in conjunction with the instructions given in this instruction manual. Selecting the wrong level of intensity can lead to side effects. Description of the phototypes (skin types according to Fitzpatrick)

Phototype I Skin is very white, milky

Never tans, always burns

Phototype II Pale skin

Tans slightly, often burns

Phototype III Beige skin

Tans moderately, sometimes burns

Phototype IV Light brown skin

Tans easily, does not burn often

Phototype V Tans very easily, rarely burns

Phototype VI Black skin

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 47

02/06/2015 11:31 AM B. Performing a test with Homelight®

48 hours before the first use, you should perform a test with

Homelight® on one leg (a few light pulses), selecting intensity level 1 regardless of your skin type. C. Select the required level of intensity for your phototype If your skin responds to the test correctly, and if you have still not experienced any abnormal reaction or discomfort after 48 hours following the test, you can gradually increase the level of intensity of your Homelight® during subsequent depilation sessions in line with the following guide: For people with phototype I: • First session: - set Homelight® no higher than intensity level 1. • Second and third sessions: - if you did not experience any particular discomfort or pain during the previous session, you can set intensity level 2 for the second session and intensity level 3 for the third session. • Fourth session and subsequent sessions: -o nly if there have been no side effects whatsoever resulting from the previous session, you can set intensity level 4 for the fourth session and intensity level 5 for subsequent sessions. For people with phototype II or III: • First session: - set Homelight® no higher than intensity level 1. • Second session: - if you did not experience any particular discomfort or pain during the previous session, you can set intensity level 2.

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 48

• Third session and subsequent sessions:

- only if there have been no side effects whatsoever resulting from the previous session, you can set intensity level 3 for the third session and MAXIMUM 4 for subsequent sessions.

EN For people with phototype IV or V:

• First session: - set Homelight® no higher than intensity level 1. • Second session: - if you did not experience any particular discomfort or pain during the previous session, you can set intensity level 2 for the second session. • Subsequent sessions: - only if there have been no side effects whatsoever resulting from the previous session, you can set the intensity level to MAXIMUM 3. For people with phototype VI: Must not use Homelight®.

Levels of intensity only permitted if there have been no side effects whatsoever experienced beforehand.

02/06/2015 11:31 AM EN N.B.:

It is possible you may notice some different skin colours on your body, because different areas of the body are exposed to sunlight in different amounts. For example, skin on the arms, which are generally exposed to the sun more, is darker than skin on the armpits. However, you are advised against increasing the level of intensity to use Homelight® on lighter areas of skin on your body. Increasing the level of intensity for the lighter areas of skin on your body may give better results, but it also increases the likelihood of discomfort and even side effects. 3.2. Preparing the skin Before you use Homelight®, your skin must be shaved (24 hours beforehand), clean, dry and free from any residue of powder or deodorant. Warning: do not epilate (with an electric epilator, tweezers or waxing) before using Homelight®. Epilating (removing hair from the root) would prevent intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment from having any effect. 3.3. Installation and start-up

1. Plug the adapter cord into the socket on the Homelight® device

(which is located on its handle). 2. Plug the other end of the adapter into a power socket. The ON/OFF LED indicator will light up orange.

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 50

4.1. Operating modes

EN Homelight® features two operating modes. Precision mode and Gliss

Precision mode allows you to safely treat the more hard-to-reach, sensitive areas of the body (face, armpits, bikini line, etc.). To treat the face, fit the special face filter to the top of the device and follow the safety precautions described in the chapter on facial depilation with Homelight®. Follow these steps

1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn Homelight® on.

> The ON/OFF LED indicator will light up. > You will hear some ventilation noise. This is entirely normal. > The READY LED indicator will light up after about 1 second. 2. Use the intensity selectors (the + or - buttons on the side of the device) to select the required level of intensity.

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 51

> T he LED indicators corresponding to the selected level of intensity will light up.

EN N.B.: Homelight® is programmed to intensity level 1 by default.

3. Place the application surface on the desired area of skin, establishing complete contact with it. > The READY LED indicator will start flashing. 4. Press the trigger button. > Homelight® will release a light pulse. N.B.: You may feel a slight hot sensation and tingling. 5. Remove the application surface from the treated area of skin. 6. Move the application surface to a different treatment area. > T he READY LED indicator will light up again after about 2 seconds. Homelight® is now ready to release another light pulse.

B. Gliss (Glide) mode

In Glide mode, the light pulses from your Homelight® are released automatically and constantly without any additional actions being necessary (36 light pulses per minute, constantly, at level 1). Follow these steps 1. To activate Glide mode, repeat steps 1 and 2 for Precision mode. Then correctly place the application surface of Homelight® against your skin whilst holding down the trigger button on the device. 2. Glide Homelight® over your skin without interruptions, in a

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 52

slow, continuous movement, without making any up or down movements.

• If you remove Homelight® from your skin whilst holding down the trigger button, it will stay in Glide mode. However, for your own safety, the pulsed light will only be released if Homelight® is in full contact with your skin. You should ensure that the application surface of Homelight® is in full contact with your skin in order to allow it to glide. • If the application surface of Homelight® is not in full contact with your skin, you will have 5 seconds in which to ensure that Homelight® is in full contact, whilst holding down the trigger button. If that window of 5 seconds is exceeded and there is still not complete contact with the skin, Glide mode will be deactivated and then you release the trigger button and press it again to reactivate Glide mode. • If you lift up the device and release the trigger, Glide mode will be deactivated. Glide mode is suitable for people who already have some experience and proficiency when using Homelight®. With 36 pulses per minute (at level 1), Glide mode provides safe and fast treatment of larger areas of the body (legs, back, arms, torso). For sensitive areas and the face, you should use Precision mode.

4.2. Facial depilation with Homelight®

Depilating the face needs very special attention because the skin on the face is particularly delicate and sensitive. This is the reason why

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 53

02/06/2015 11:31 AM EN Homelight® is equipped with a special face filter. The special face filter is targeted and extremely precise, limiting the light spectrum for treatment that is appropriate for sensitive facial skin.

Safety precautions for facial depilation: • You must use the special face filter to use Homelight® to depilate the face. •H omelight® is only suitable for depilating the lower part of the face (cheeks, upper lip and chin). •H omelight® is not suitable for depilating eyelashes, hair and eyebrows. •D o not look at the area of skin being treated while the light pulses are being released. • Do not use Homelight® around the eyes. • Homelight® is not suitable for treating men’s beards. • F or your comfort and safety, we recommend that you have someone help you use Homelight® on your face for the first few sessions. • Do not use Glide mode for depilating the face. • You must wait 5 seconds between each pulse of light when using the device on the face. Any facial depilation session with Homelight® must not last any longer than 10 minutes. Fitting and removing the special face filter To fit or remove the special face filter, the device must be switched off and unplugged. Gently grip the special face filter by both ends between thumb and forefinger to fit or remove it.

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 54

02/06/2015 11:31 AM N.B.: Please remove the face filter from the Homelight® device in order to treat legs, back and arms.

Warning: hot surfaces. Do not touch the lens of the special face filter with your fingers.

4.3. Coverage of the treatment area

For proper coverage of the treatment area, the light pulses need to be applied to your skin in lines, from one extremity to the other, systematically continuing in successive lines. This prevents the side effects caused by overlapping the light pulses.

The imprints left on your skin by the pressure from the application surface of Homelight® should help you to align yourself correctly to apply each new pulse, to avoid pulses overlapping or - on the other hand - to avoid the pulses being spaced too far apart.

5. After using Homelight®

5.1. Turning off Homelight® At the end of your depilation session, switch off Homelight® by pressing the ON/OFF button. Unplug the adapter from the power socket. N.B.: Homelight® will stop automatically if you do not use the device for more than 10 minutes. The ON/OFF LED indicator is now orange. To use

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 55

02/06/2015 11:31 AM Homelight® again, you have to press the ON/OFF button and select the required level of intensity again.

We recommend that you clean Homelight®, especially the application surface, after every depilation session: • Unplug Homelight® before cleaning. •G ently clean the casing of Homelight® and especially the application surface, using a clean, dry cloth and a cleaner formulated for cleaning electronic equipment. •A fter cleaning, store Homelight® in its original box in a dry, safe place.

5.3. Caring for the skin following an epilation session with

Homelight® Do not expose areas of the skin treated with Homelight® to the sun without protection for 2 weeks following treatment. Protect your skin with sunscreen (SPF of over 50) or a covering garment throughout the treatment period and for at least two weeks after the final depilation session with Homelight®. Do not use perfumed creams or deodorant following your depilation session on areas treated with Homelight®.

5.4. Possible side effects

Side effects and complications are rare when Homelight® is used in accordance with the instructions in this instructions manual. However, any cosmetic treatment, even if designed for home use, has its risks. If light pulses applied by Homelight® are overlapping or repeated on

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 56

the same area of skin, it is possible you may feel or see:

• Mild pain in the skin: even though Homelight® is in most cases tolerated very well, most people who use it feel some mild pain during use, which they often describe as a tingling sensation in the area of skin being treated. In most cases, this tingling sensation is felt during application and even possibly for a few minutes afterwards.

Any other discomfort apart from this mild pain is not normal and either means that you need to stop treatment with Homelight® because you do not tolerate it, or that your selected light pulse intensity level is too high. • Redness: your skin may go red straight after using Homelight® or during the following 24 hours. The redness usually disappears within 24 hours. See your doctor if the redness lasts longer than 2 to 3 days. • Skin hypersensitivity: skin is more sensitive in the treatment area and can dry out or peel. • Burns or blisters: very rarely, skin may be vulnerable to injuries or burns following treatment with Homelight®. Full recovery can take several weeks and, in exceptional cases, a scar may remain. • Scarring: even though these are very rare cases, there may be permanent scarring. In most instances these scars take the form of a surface lesion with whitish colouration (hypotrophic). However, scars may be wide and red (hypertrophic) or wide and extended behind the injured area (keloid). More extensive cosmetic treatments may be required to improve their appearance. • Change to pigmentation: Homelight® targets the root of the hair, specifically the pigmented cells in the bulb. However, there is a risk of temporary hyperpigmentation (increased pigmentation or brown discolouration) or hypopigmentation (whitening) or the surrounding skin. People with darker skin are more at risk of changes to pigmentation. In most cases, any changes to pigmentation and discolouration of the skin are temporary. Permanent hyperpigmentation and permanent hypopigmentation are rare.

G945-G946E IB 1.indd 57

02/06/2015 11:31 AM EN

• Excessive redness and swelling: in some rare cases, skin treated with

Homelight® can become very red and swollen. This reaction is more common in sensitive areas of the body. Redness and swelling should disappear within 2 to 7 days of regular application of ice. Gentle cleaning is no problem, but you should avoid exposure to sunlight. • Infection: skin infections are extremely rare but may occur following burns or injuries to the skin caused by Homelight®. • Bruising: very rarely, using Homelight® can cause bluish-purple bruising which can last for 5 to 10 days. As the blue fades, the skin can take on a rusty colour (hyperpigmentation) which may be permanent. It is normal to feel some discomfort after a depilation session with Homelight®. Speak to your doctor if discomfort persists or bothers you during or after treatment with Homelight®.
