12. I’ve heard that some hair grows back lighter and finer after photo-epilation. Is this true?
This phenomenon is well documented by beauticians and doctors who use laser or pulsed light appliances for
depilation treatments. It is possible that some hair grows back lighter and finer after an Homelight epilator session.
Generally, this hair only represents an tiny part of the original hair growth, treatments should therefore be continued
to achieve the desired result.
13. Is long-term use of the Homelight epilator dangerous for my skin?
Over the last 15 years, the use of laser and of the pulsed light in aesthetic medicine has been well documented in
professional journals. These journals and institutions have not reported any side effects or injuries connected with long-
term use of laser or pulsed light appliances.
14. Can I use the Homelight epilator to eliminate chin or facial hair?
Homelight epilator from BaByliss allows facial hair removal (cheeks, upper lip, and chin), but only if the precision head
designed especially for the face is used. However, the Homelight epilator may not be used for epilation of eyelashes,
eyebrows or head hair. Please wear a pair of protective glasses when using.
15. How long should I wait before using the Homelight epilator if I am not protected from the sun’s rays?
You should avoid exposure to the sun before and after treatment with the Homelight epilator no matter which part of
the body has been treated. You must use suitable protection, e.g., a covering garment or a sun cream (with a protection
rating above 50) which you should then use regularly for three weeks before and after treatment. Ideally, you should
wait 4 weeks before using the Homelight epilator if you have been exposed to the sun without protection. If you have
the least doubt about exposure to the sun consult your doctor or contact the BaByliss customer service.
16. What should I do before I use the Homelight epilator?
Before each session with the Homelight epilator, it is important that the area to be treated has not been exposed
to the sun for at least four weeks. A sun screen with a high protection factor (protection factor of 50+) could be
some help, as well as clothes that cover the area to be treated. Moreover, the area to be treated should be washed
with soap and water beforehand and then shaved clean of hair.
17. How do I take care of the treated area after using the Homelight epilator ?
The area treated with the Homelight epilator may be cleaned and cared for with well-known skin care products.
Specific precautions should be taken to avoid unprotected exposure to the sun. Sun screens with a higher protection
factor (protection factor of 50+) and long clothing are good protection against the sun.
18. Should I remove hair before, between and after treatments?
No, do not remove hair before, during or after treatments. The hair will fall out on its own naturally and gradually.
This stage may last up to two weeks.
