IPL Works Below the Skin's Surface

IPL is very similar to laser hair removal. Light energy works below the skin's surface to target the dark coloring in hair, gently heating it and disrupting the growth cycle. Results appear within a few weeks of initial treatment and should improve over time.

ProPulse Technology Produces Exceptional Results

Only i-LIGHT Pro has ProPulse Technology with output parameters comparable to the best clinical machines and delivers results that last six months.* ProPulse effectively targets hair follicles to disable growth by putting out energy at optimal wavelengths, delivering energy deep into the skin to target the hair bulb while enabling the surrounding tissue to cool.

i-LIGHT Pro is Simple to Use

First, shave the desired area to allow the most direct path to the hair follicle. Second, test the skin in the treatment area to ensure it is not too dark to treat. Lastly, treat the area according to directions in the Use and Care Guide. Perform three treatments every two weeks initially and then only as needed. Each 1,500-flash cartridge can deliver two to three full body treatments (underarms, lower legs, bikini area).

Remington, a household name in electric hair removal, has been helping the world get ready for over 70 years. Experts in innovation, they offer cutting-edge technology that really works. The first-generation i-Light was introduced in 2009 in Europe and quickly sold over 100,000 units. The next-generation i-Light Pro is faster, more powerful, and FDA cleared. Remington's mission is to help you look good and feel like you're ready for anything, so you can look in the mirror and say, "Okay, world, here I come."

What's in the Box

Remington i-LIGHT Pro base unit, cartridge with 1,500 flashes, power cord, lint-free cloth, Use and Care Guide, and instructional DVD.

*Individual results will vary. In clinical testing, on average, participants had 47.8 percent fewer hairs six months after just three treatments, similar to results observed from professional hair removal systems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works...but slower than expected January 8, 2012

By Sam

I bought this because I absolutely hate shaving, and I wasn't making the time to epilate. I also figured if it was going to work for anyone, it would be me: I am VERY fair, and have quite dark hair.

Treatment turns out to be far quicker than I expected. It only takes about 45 minutes to cover everything: legs, underarms and bikini line. To be fair, I'm not being very particular about whether I'm covering every single hair, but I figure if it works I can always go back and treat any missed patches later. I can go easily to the highest setting for my legs: my underarms and bikini line hurt a bit so I go to lower levels on those.

After the first treatment, I was incredibly disappointed. I noticed absolutely no results: on legs, underarms, or bikini line. I was going away, so I didn't quite wait the full two weeks for the second treatment. I go to the top level on my underarms, and the second highest on my bikini line.

A week after the second treatment, still no change. But then I noticed my legs were starting to itch like crazy. Turned out that I had HUNDREDS of leg hairs that had detached from the root, but hadn't fallen out. They had also been detached for a while: many of them were tiny, indicating I'd shaved them at least once in between. My underarms too are looking a little more sparse.

I don't know why the hair didn't fall out, as the manual suggests. Perhaps its because years of epilation have damaged the hair shafts. But I've stopped shaving between treatments (too much risk of pimples and infection if the hair doesn't fall out).

Treatments 3 and 4 on my legs turn out to only be spot treatments: as others have mentioned it's almost impossible to ensure that the window covers everything, so you are going to have patches that you've missed. Honestly, its much quicker to treat the hair patches later than to spend hours trying to make sure you've covered everything the first time. My underarms and bikini line are going to take longer. But the hair is GONE! And, so far at least, its not coming back.

Now it just remains to be seen how long the treatment lasts...

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been a 5 star... January 14, 2012

By A. Schoenhofer

Amazon Verified Purchase

Okay, I was all ready to leave a 5 star review, as I have used the Remington IPL for one full body treatment, and have noticed markedly decreased growth in all areas. I was very excited to start my scheduled second full body treatment tonight, only to get about 2/3 of my left calf done(30 pulses), and the thing quit!! The little yellow indicator light came on that shows you it no longer has any flashes left, so ...dead in the water with only a small portion of one leg on it's way to being hair free. :(. I KNOW I didn't come close to using this product for 1500 pulses, so I'm highly dissatisfied with the fact I now have to order and wait on a new cartridge, not to mention dish out more money way sooner than expected just to continue the treatments. This product is not that cheap, so to have to chuck out another $25 already after one body treatment is assanine. I will post an update to this once I complete the remaining treatments.

3.0 out of 5 stars ** REAL four month review ** March 30, 2012

By bahhhoo

Update 4/13

My wife decided to use it about six months ago when I quit. She has had good results with it. With her good results, I decided to use it again too. I assume her positive results depend on her hair type. Her hair is thinner than mine, thus "maybe" easier to zap???, thus kill the roots?

I am not sure if this is a permanent solution, but she use to have ingrown problems while epilating. The zapping has eliminated this problem, thus based on that alone, she loves it.

Old review:

This product probably deserves two stars, because it does some-what work, but I figure people looking to buy this product will skim past the two star reviews and read the one star reviews.

I bought this in December through a Groupon promotion for $199.00 and not on Amazon. I have read the reviews here for four months before posting. I basically agree with one poster MrD that some of these reviews (Ama***123, which happens to be the very first review) are fake, but most reviews are just from people who have not used this product long enough to give a good review. People need to use this product for a few months, not a few weeks or first or second session before posting, where their enthusiasm is clouding their judgement.

Yes it works, if it didn't Remington would be sued. You will probably see 30% hair reduction after 3 sessions. Overall, maybe 40% to 50% reduction after a dozen or so sessions. The hair will start to grow back in probably a few weeks, not six months. The hair is just stunned, thus you will see the hair follicle on your skin.

You have to ask yourself, what are you saving? If you shave, you will still have to continue to shave. 40% reduction for a few weeks will still leave you shaving daily. Is this worth the $250.00 price tag and $25.00 bulbs that seem to burn out at a few hundred pulses (not 1500 pulses and I am on my second bulb bought through Amazon.)? You decide.

For the people who epilate, stay with epilating, the results are much better.

For people who want permanent hair removal, go to a professional, it will be financially cheaper in the long run; especially when you are paying $100.00 a year for bulb replacements on a system that only give temporary results. Groupon always has 50% off professional laser treatment coupons.
