Remington Hair Removal IPL Technology
Remington uses ProPulse Intense Pulsed Light technology to treat hair follicles. The pigment in hair follicle called "melanin" absorbs the light in different wave lengths (normally 450-1100); absorbed light heat up hair follicles. It breaks hair growth cycle in active phase disabling hair-producing papilla from re-growing hair for a long period of time. That's why it's called "permanent".
There are many renowned companies that use the same technology to treat hair such as: Philips Lumea, Iluminage Touch, Braun Venus Silk-Expert, and more…
Remington Hair Removal brought you safety of IPL combined with efficiency of clinical hair removal in Remington iLIGHT IPL at-home hair removal.

All iLIGHT models use IPL technology to reduce hair re-growth. Moreover, they are safe, effective, and fast. However, they differ in speed, efficiency, lifetime, attachments, suitable skin & hair types, and prices, of course.
In this detailed review of Remington, I’m going to show you all specifications and features of the 8 models. Moreover, there is a dedicated section to compare between them and which the best one is according to your place. Let’s have a look:
(1) iLIGHT Ultra IPL6500 Remington Hair Removal System
It’s one of the best products as it gives permanent hair removal after only 3 treatments! The iLIGHT Ultra breaks hair growth cycle using intense pulses of light. It’s comfortable, safe, fast, and effective. Moreover, it’s my highly recommended for USA residents.
Clearance
Remington iLIGHT Ultra is FDA-cleared, it also has CE certification (CE Marking) which meets European Union standards.
Moreover, it's clinically proven to inhibit hair re-growth for a long period of time. So, you will have smooth and hair-free skin after continuous use.
It's also proven to be, fast, effective, and safe on your skin with its integrated safety system.
Skin & Hair Types
iLIGHT Ultra uses safe IPL to treat from light blond to medium brown skin tones. However, it cannot treat dark skin tones such as dark brown and brownish black.
Moreover, it works on all hair colors from medium blond to black. It’s not suitable for treating red, light blond, white or grey.
NOTE: iLIGHT Ultra is not recommended for use on moles, freckles, make-up, or tattoos.
Recommended Treatment Times
Remington hair removal official website recommends using iLIGHT Ultra 3 times once every 2 weeks to get optimum results. You may experience and average of 66% up to 94% hair reduction after the first 3 treatments.
Keep using iLIGHT Ultra weekly for 7-9 weeks on average, this means 10-12 treatments in total. Then, to maintain results, touch-ups are recommended when needed.
*Individual results may vary. That means you may experience the 94% hair reduction after 3, 4, or even 10 treatments. But don’t worry, this applies to all permanent hair removal devices.
It’s not a problem, hair growth cycle varies from one area to another. You may treat hair in some places while it’s still at Anagen (active phase). While in other places, it may be at Catagen (transitional) or Telogen (resting) phases.
You need to know that 3% of hairs are at Catagen, and 6% – 8% of hairs are at Telogen at any time. That means a total of 9% – 11% of all hairs will not be treated at any time.
Who Can Use iLIGHT Ultra
Remington iLIGHT Ultra is made for use on female body areas such as bikini, legs, arms, and underarms. Moreover, it works on female face on cheeks, sideburns, chin, neck, and upper lip.
For males, it can be used on body below neck, this includes shoulders, back, chest, and stomach.
However, it’s not recommended to use iLIGHT Ultra on male face, head, or neck. This will cause a permanent hair reduction in these areas which will not make men pleased.
Lifetime
iLIGHT Ultra comes with a quartz flash bulb that gives 65,000 flashes. Moreover, the device comes with a 3 cm2 window, this means treating a total of 195,000 (65,000 flash × 3 cm2). This also equals 25 full body treatments on average and approximately 3 years of use.
NOTE: This process depends on each area’s measurement which varies from one person to another.
Safety
Remington hair removal system “iLIGHT Ultra” has an integrated safety system. It consists of 4 parts: skin tone sensor, skin contact sensor, UV filter, and 5 gradual energy levels.

(2) iLIGHT Pro Plus Hair Removal System
Fast, safe, effective, and affordable, the iLIGHT Pro Plus is a super hair removal device! It’s the older version of iLIGHT Ultra. As for all others, iLIGHT Pro Plus uses gentle intense pulses of light to disable hair follicle and stop hair re-growth.
*Remington hair removal iLIGHT Pro Plus is the older version of iLIGHT Ultra. So, you won’t find differences but little ones including battery life, cap size, and the facial treatment cap of Ultra.
Clearance
Remington iLIGHT Pro Plus is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to be effective, yet safe, for use by males and females.
It gives permanent results in just 3 treatments. You will go weeks without shaving or epilating and with no fear of embarrassing, unwanted hair.
Moreover, the device has a CE certification states that it meets EU standards.
Skin & Hair Types
Just like iLIGHT Ultra, Remington iLIGHT Pro Plus can treat from light blond to medium brown skin tones. However, it cannot treat dark skin tones such as dark brown and brownish black as well.
Moreover, it works on all hair colors except red, light blond, white or grey.
Add that Remington Hair Removal iLIGHT Pro Plus is not recommended for use on moles, freckles, make-up, or tattoos.
Recommended Treatment Times
iLIGHT Pro Plus is recommended to be used 3 times once every 2 weeks to get desired results.
The device gives 16J of power/flash. So, you may experience 66% up to 94% hair reduction after only/or more than 3 treatments. Of course iLIGHT Ultra is more effective than Pro Plus because of its 24J/flash. However, touch-ups are recommended every when needed to maintain the results.
*Individual results may vary. That means you may experience the 94% hair reduction after 3, 4, or even 10 treatments.
iLIGHT Pro Plus should give results within a little longer time than iLIGHT Ultra’s. It uses the same technology but a lower power. So, it’s expected to give very similar results except on face as it’s not suitable for female face.
Who Can Use iLIGHT Pro Plus
Remington iLIGHT Pro Plus works on female body including bikini area, legs, arms, and underarms. However, like I said before, it’s not for use on female face.
For males, it can be used on body below neck, this includes shoulders, back, chest, and abdomen.
However, it’s not recommended to use iLIGHT Ultra on male face, head, or neck. As, like Ultra, this will cause a permanent hair reduction in these areas and may cause discomfort or any side effect mentioned in the “tips and precautions” section.
Lifetime
iLIGHT Pro Plus comes with a quartz flash bulb that gives 30,000 flashes. Moreover, there are 3 additional light cartridges for 6000 flashes in total and a 2cm2 treatment window. After calculations, this means treating 72,000 (36,000 flashes × 2 cm2). This also equals an average of 10 full body treatments and approximately 1 year of use.
NOTE: Individual results may vary depending on each area’s measurement. It can be calculated as following: 10 flashes fully treats 1.5 × 3inch area, according to the official website.
Safety
To ensure safety, Remington hair removal iLIGHT Pro Plus provides the very same safety system in iLIGHT Ultra:
>> Integrated skin tone sensor. The device will check your skin type before treating to make sure that it’s suitable then you’ll hear a “beep“. If it’s not, the device will not emit flashes and you’ll hear a “buzz“.
>> skin contact sensor. Which makes the device only works when in full contact with treatment area. The applicator has to be in a position against skin surface in order to work. When in full contact, it will give a "beep" referring that it's ready to work.
>> Integrated UV filter, to safely filter unwanted, harmful radiation.
>> 5 energy levels, they can be adjusted according to which makes you feel more comfortable.
*iLIGHT Pro Plus is not suitable for dark skins as well. As darker skins contain more concentrations of melanin which makes them absorb more light. Which in turn can be harmful to the skin.

How It Works
iLIGHT Pro Plus, iLIGHT Ultra, and iLIGHT pro have the same use method. So, This video explains how to use the 3 of them.
What’s In The Box?

- 1 quartz bulb (30,000 flashes)
- body cap
- Power cable
- Cleaning cloth

Price
iLIGHT Pro Plus costs $399.99 on the official website. If you noticed, it’s inly $50 cheaper than Ultra. With all the differences, seems not a better choice! However, you need to read about all devices in order to make the right choice, don’t you?
(3) iLIGHT Pro Hair Removal System
Remington iLIGHT Pro is the older version of Remington iLIGHT Pro Plus. It’s a nice device with ok specifications. However, it’s not recommended!
If we are talking about efficiency and safety, it’s a very recommended device. But, the problem is in the cartridge lifetime and the ongoing costs! I’m going to show you this in detail below.
Clearance
Just like all Remington hair removal iLIGHT Products, iLIGHT Pro is FDA-cleared. It also has a CE certification to meet EU Standards. Moreover, it's clinically proven and recommended by dermatologists.
Skin & Hair Types
iLIGHT Pro works effectively on light blond to medium brown skin tones. However, it cannot treat dark skin tones such as dark brown and brownish black as well.
Remington hair removal iLIGHT Pro works on all hair colors except red, light blond, white or grey. It treats blond, light brown, medium brown, dark brown, and black hair colors.
*This device is not recommended for use on moles, freckles, make-up, or tattoos.
Recommended Treatment Times
For optimum results, use the iLIGHT Pro system 3 times once every 2 weeks. You may experience 66% up to 94% hair reduction after only 3 treatments (the same as iLIGHT Pro Plus). However, it only gives 16J of power/flash. The same touch-ups are recommended every when needed to maintain the results.
iLIGHT Pro should give results within the same time of iLIGHT Pro Plus and iLIGHT Ultra. It uses the same technology and the same power of Pro Plus (which is lower than Ultra’s). So, it’s just another iLIGHT Pro Plus but with shorter cartridge and ongoing costs.
Who Can Use iLIGHT Pro
iLIGHT Pro works on female body such as bikini, legs, arms, and underarms. However, it’s doesn’t work on female face as it doesn’t include facial cap.
However, iLIGHT Pro treats men body below neck, this includes shoulders, back, chest, and stomach.
It’s not recommended on male face, head, and neck as this will cause a permanent hair reduction in these areas and may cause harm or irritation.
Durability
OK, into the important part of this device! Remington iLIGHT Pro comes with a flash bulb life of 1500 flashes. Despite the 3 extra light bulbs that give 6000 flashes in total, what will happen when they’re finished? Of course you’re not buying the device to use it for around 2-3 treatments lasting for 1 months!!! You will need to buy additional cartridges which will cost you additional money into an endless cycle. That’s why I do not recommend this device!

How It Works
This video will show you how to use Remington Hair Removal iLIGHT Pro briefly. It’s a very simple device with some easy steps. See video below:
What’s In The Box?
When you purchase Remington iLIGHT Pro from the official website you will get:
- iLIGHT Pro IPL6000USA hair removal system
- 1 light bulb (1500 flashes)
- 3 extra light bulbs (6000 flashes)
- body cap
- Power cable
- Cleaning cloth
- User manual
Price
iLIGHT Pro Plus costs $249.99 on the official website. With no facial cap, no lifelong cartridge, and lower power! I do not think it’s a good investment, too. I more recommend the iLIGHT Ultra system; it’s more effective and lasts for longer periods.
(4) iLIGHT Essential IPL3500USA Hair Removal System
iLIGHT Essential is the smallest version of all Remington iLIGHT hair removal devices. It’s a compact, gentle, fast, and effective device suitable for men and women. Despite I gave this device 83% rating, I do not recommend it. Remington Hair Removal iLIGHT IPL3500 is the slowest one among its kind (in showing results, not in application time). Moreover, it does not give great results as illustrated below.
Clearance
iLIGHT Essential is FDA-cleared. It has a CE certification to meet EU Standards. Moreover, it's clinically proven and recommended by dermatologists to work on female face, body, and male body below the neck.
Skin & Hair Types
iLIGHT Essential treats a wider range of skin tones which is considered an advantage over other versions. It treats I-V (from light blond to dark brown skin tones).
However, it cannot treat only darker skins such as brownish black.
Moreover, it works on the same hair colors. This means that it’s not suitable for red, light blond, white or grey hair colors.
I am text block. Click edit button to change this text. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Recommended Treatment Times
Remington iLIGHT Essential gives best results after 4 treatments once every 2 weeks. Treatments from 5 to 7 can be done once a week. You may experience 60% up to 70% hair reduction after the 4 treatments. The device provides 12J of power per flash. Touch-ups are recommended when needed to maintain the results.
The device should give results slower than iLIGHT Pro Plus and iLIGHT Ultra. It uses the IPL technology not ProPulse IPL and it has lower power.
Who Can Use iLIGHT Essential
iLIGHT Essential works on female body areas including bikini area, legs, arms, and underarms. Moreover, it works on female face on cheeks, sideburns, upper lip, and chin.
In addition, iLIGHT Essential treats male body below neck, this includes shoulders, back, chest, and stomach.
It’s not recommended on male face, head, and neck as it will cause permanent hair reduction in these areas and may lead to irritation and complications.
Durability
iLIGHT Essential comes with a bulb life of 350,000 flashes. It’s the longest lifetime between all Remington versions as it lasts up to 20 years if used properly. Moreover, it can provide up to 130 full body treatments.
NOTE: The manufacturer included in the user manual that the expected service life of the equipment is 5 years. Which was not mentioned about other versions! So, despite the bulb should make it for around 20 years using the 350,000 flashes, it actually may last only 5 years! This means you may experience any technical failure or issue after 5 years and you will need to fix it. In other words, this product only works for 5 years!

Skin & Hair Types
Like other Remington Hair Removal iLIGHT IPL devices, iLIGHT IPL6780 uses intense pulsed light in order to suppress hair growth. To get the utmost from each application, it is recommended to use the device according to the suggested plan which will follow in this article soon.
However, like other Remington Hair Removal devices, iLIGHT IPL6780 is suitable for skins from light blond to medium brown. Do not use it on darker skin tones such as dark brown and brownish black. Using iLIGHT IPL6780 on those skins may cause discoloration and other serious complications.
It is also suitable for hair colors from medium blond (beige) to black. The device is less effective on red, light blond, white or grey hairs as they contain much less melanin.
*iLIGHT IPL6780 is not recommended for use on moles, freckles, make-up, or tattoos.
Recommended Treatment Times
In order for you to get the best of iLIGHT IPL6780, the product manual suggests using the device at most once every week or better once every other week. Yet, most specialists and even practitioners recommend waiting for new hair to grow before executing another treatment session. Usually it takes 3 treatments to get all hairs treated. However, touch-ups are recommended when needed.
It is known that hair that grows in the underarms area grows faster than that in other areas of the body. New hair always grows within two weeks. Therefore, you are advised to treat the underarms either every week or other week, depending on the hair growth rate.
On the other hand, hair growth in the areas of arms and legs is a bit slower, taking about 8 weeks. So, when you treat these areas, it is necessary to wait until the hair grow and can be seen.
Please note that it is important not to wax or pluck during or before the treatment session.

How iLIGHT IPL6780 Works
Remington iLIGHT IPL6780 utilizes pulses of light designed especially for suppressing the hair follicle and preventing hair re-growth. Suppressing hair follicle affects the roots of hair, resulting in permanent hair elimination without causing pain. Using other classical manual devices will not affect the hair follicle but they cut off excess hairs giving them the chance to re-grow in just few days.
However, All UK Remington Hair Removal iLIGHT devices have the very same way of use which is mentioned up in “How To Use” section. Moreover, for more facilitation, this video illustrates how to use UK iLIGHT IPL devices:

Skin Test: Is It Important?
Remington Inc. advises you to be very kind to your soft and delicate skin. You should know that such hair removal devices that use IPL apply light to your skin, which might do harm to it if they are used improperly. So, before treating any part of your skin, you must test your skin sensitivity and choose intensity level as illustrated below. Just follow these simple steps:
- After shaving and checking your skin with the skin tone sensor, start at the lowest level and check if flashing your skin is comfortable.
- Wait 24 hours to make sure the treated spot is clear of redness, irritation, or any other side effect.
- Move up a level and repeat this process by moving to another spot.
- Wait for another 24 hours to see if any side effect appears.
- If you feel it is uncomfortable or painful, stop it immediately.
- If there is no bad reaction within 24 hours, pursue the treatment at the highest level can be tolerated.
In case you have stopped treatment for a long time, say four months or so, it is better to repeat the test. This is just to be sure you will not distort your skin beauty and smoothness.
Tanned Skin and IPL
Experts state that the purpose of IPL treatment is to improve dark (particularly brown) spot and improve blood vessels. This means that the IPL is targeted to treat color. For this reason, in case you have a tan, the light will target the tan, which results in a burn.
Experts assure that having a tan can put you at a greater risk if the laser or IPL is used. The IPL or laser seeks the melanin in the root of the hair. The melanin comes out to the surface causing a skin tan. The use of IPL and laser will be destructive. Hence, it is best to wait until your tan completely disappears. Moreover, after performing a treatment session, try to use sunscreen in a daily basis to protect your skin and keep it bright and shiny. You, as a beautiful lady, should know that your epidermis is very delicate.
How To Use All Remington iLIGHT Devices
- Shave treatment area then dry it using a soft cloth.

- Turn the device on using the control button next to the energy level light indicator. The energy level will turn to level 1 and a fan sound will start.
- Set desired energy level using energy level "control" button. Always use lowest setting then move up to the level that makes you feel comfortable.
- Put the applicator against treatment area in a way that makes it in full contact with your skin. If the device is in full contact, you'll see the ready light blinking slowly indicating that it's ready to work.
- Press the flash button, you will see a flash emitted into your skin and hear a "popping" sound.
- Move or slide away to a new treatment area. When sliding, keep pressing the flash button. The device will automatically emit a flash in less than 2 seconds with the "popping" sound.
- NOTE: Always move continuously in the same direction (row), each application has to be directly ahead to the previous one.

Tips & Precautions
When I review any IPL or laser device I always talk about some tips and precautions that must be considered. These points to put in mind are EXTREMELY important and dangerous at the same time. As if you did not put them into consideration you may encounter some problems and complications that may lead even to cancer! (This part – especially related to diseases – has its own article on our website)
What You Should Do:
- When using iLIGHT devices always move continuously in the same direction (row). Each application has to be directly ahead to the previous one. This will minimize overlap and miss spots. Do not treat the very same area many times at the same session. However, slight overlaps are allowed.
- Always use lower setting when begging treatments and always do skin tests.
- Make sure to clean treatment area and dry it before treatments.
- Avoid sunlight 2 weeks before treatments and 48 hours after treatments. Your skin must be free of sunburns before exposing to IPL.
- Avoid tanning for the very same period before and after treatments. Tanning darkens the skin which makes it more prone to harm, redness, irritation, and even some serious diseases.
- Use 50 SPF sunblock or cover treated area if you have to go out under sun light.
- Read user manual carefully; it mentions many important tips and tricks when treating.
- Consult your doctor when any side effect appears.
NOTE: Remember that experts state that you should wait for new hair growth before performing a repeated treatment session. Hair in the underarms usually grow faster than other parts of the body, after one to two weeks at most, so you might need to treat this area every other week.
When it comes to hair on legs and arms, the growth rate is slower. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks to grow again. Thus, using the device to eliminate excess hair basically depends the part of body to be treated.
What You Should Not Do:
- Remington iLIGHT devices are not recommended for use by pregnant or breast-feeding women.
- Do not use Remington iLIGHT on eyes, eyebrows, ears, nipples, or genitals.
- As mentioned before, do not use Remington iLIGHT devices on male face, jaw, or neck.
- Not for use by anyone under 18.
- Do not use these devices on tattoos, make-up, moles, or freckles.
- Do not use Remington iLIGHT devices if you suffer or have history with the following diseases:
- Skin disease such as active skin cancer and eczema
- Epilepsy
- Light-induced seizures
- Chronic migraines
- Vascular disorder
- Sensitivity to light
- Burns, infections, inflammation of hair follicles, abrasions, open lacerations, haematoma, lesions or wounds in the targeted area.

Last words
Remington iLIGHT are well-known devices with high specifications and astonishing features. However, the most important problems you need to consider before buying yours is its speed and the flash bulb life.
If you’re thinking about a product that serves for more than 15 years efficiently with quick applications, no Remington iLIGHT product can economize.
However, to be honest, Remington is a leading company with one of the best collections to treat with IPL. Regardless of speed and life, I strongly recommend the Remington iLIGHT Ultra and iLIGHT Prestige IPL6750.
