Rio IPL Intense Pulsed Light Hair Removal
The Rio Intense Pulsed Light hair remover uses the latest intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. Placed gently against the skin, pulses of intense light are delivered directly to the hair follicle with enough energy to destroy the root without affecting the surrounding area. IPL delivers quick and efficient long-term hair reduction and is suitable for larger areas such as legs, arms, underarms, bikini lines, back, chest, and certain areas of the face. The Rio IPL hair removal device is safe to use on the face within the area denoted by the white dotted line (below right). The Rio IPL hair removal device should not be used on the lips or around the eyes. The Rio IPL hair removal device can be used safely on the face in the area denoted by the dotted line.
The Rio IPL hair removal system is not recommended for people with tanned or dark skin tones, such as those of Afro-Caribbean, black African, Indian, or Pakistani origin. Even if your skin tone appears to be suitable on the skin tone chart below, do not use it if close relations (parents/grandparents) have skin tones as described above as the process may not work. IPL is not suitable for red, light blonde, grey or white hair.
IPL is only suitable for certain skin tones
The Rio IPL hair remover is not for use on or by children under 14 years old and not for use on or by children between 14 and 17 years old without parental supervision.
How to use the Rio IPL hair remover
Check for any reaction by testing a small area of your skin 24 hours before you begin treatment. This patch test will confirm the maximum power level for your skin type.
Shave the area to be treated when you’re ready. This ensures that the light energy goes directly to the hair root and avoids hair burning on the surface.
Turn on the device, enter the security code, push the activate button, and then place the wand over the area to be treated. Assure that the skin sensors are in contact with the skin, then press and hold the therapy button on the wand. This initiates the treatment flash.
The device will self-check after the treatment flash, then move the wand to the next location to be treated and continue the process. When you have finished your treatment, turn the unit off and store it in a safe place away from children.
The timing for follow-on treatments is not critical. Rio suggests treatments every two weeks, while some people like to treat the area every week and others only once a month, depending on personal choice and the location of the treatment area. As long as the hair follicle or surrounding skin is not red, uncomfortable, or irritated, treatment can be repeated after a minimum of 48 hours.
IPL is suitable for use on areas including the underarms, arms and legs, and bikini line.
