Duo Lite is a home-use device for the permanent reduction of hair growth based on Advanced
Fluorescence Technology (AFT) and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) that is found in salons across the globe.
It works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth
with minimal pain.
Duo Lite gives you the power to fight unwanted hair growth delivering long term results for perfectly
smooth skin. The combination of both Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT) and Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL) in a single device provide highly flexible treatments that can be tailored perfectly
to different parts of the body and to different skin tones. Choose between AFT FREEGLIDE™ which
delivers up to 1 pulse per second for fast and easy treatments that are comfortable even on sensitive
skin or single shot IPL treatments with the benefit of additional control when using higher power.

This is the method used on energy levels 1-3. Hold the pulse button down continuously and slowly
move the device over the skin maintaining constant contact. In this mode it is necessary to repeatedly
pass the device over the same area up to 5 times to ensure maximum coverage.
Note: The higher the level the slower you will need to glide the device. This is because the more
energy released, the slower the pulse rate.

This is the recommended method to use for high energy levels 4-5. With the treatment window in
contact with the skin, press the pulse button and wait for the flash. Only shoot once before moving
the device to the next treatment area ensuring there are no gaps or overlaps in the treated area,
Wait for the status indicator LED to stop flashing (up to 3.5 seconds) before pressing the pulse button
again.
Note: During both treatment methods you will see a bright flash, hear a popping noise and may feel a
mild stinging and/or heat sensation

With repeated treatments over time you can expect to see cumulative hair reduction. It is important to
maintain the treatment schedule over the first 8-12 weeks followed by subsequent treatments as and
when required. Previously dormant hair follicles may become active at any time (it is only possible to
treat follicles in the growth phase). It is important to remember that results will vary with each individual
and are not immediate, evaluate results after the 8-12 week treatment program is complete. Duo Lite
gives you the power to fight unwanted hair growth delivering long term results for perfectly smooth skin.
For Body Treatment
Treatment plan depends on Skin-type/Energy Level selection. Having determined the appropriate
energy level according to the Suitable Hair and Skin Types chart and/or spot test, follow these
recommendations.
AFT FREEGLIDE™ - Energy Levels 1, 2 and 3
Due to the lower energy levels, treatments can be repeated up to twice a week on an on-going
basis as required. This mode provides a comfortable treatment even in the most sensitive areas and
with darker skin tones. More treatment is required to achieve similar results to Single Shot mode.
IPL SINGLE SHOT - Energy Levels 4 and 5
When using higher levels of energy, the sessions should be separated by a minimum of 2 weeks.
Initially, it is recommended to treat every two weeks for 6 treatments and then complete additional
treatments as required with at least a two week interval. This is a higher energy treatment, but can
cause some discomfort as it exposes the skin to higher temperatures during treatment. It is not
recommended to use single shot mode if you have skin type 5 (see suitable hair and skin type chart).
The effect of the treatments will depend on skin type and hair color, the results are cumulative. As you
continue to perform more treatments you should notice less hair regrowth.
Note: Due to hormonal or other physiological changes dormant hair follicles may become active and
new hairs can appear – maintenance hair reduction sessions may be required from time to time.
For Facial Treatment
Treatment plan depends on Skin-type/Energy Level selection. Having determined the appropriate
energy level according to the Suitable Hair and Skin Type chart and/or spot test, adhere to following
recommendations. Follow the same procedure as detailed above; take care not to treat moles or the
lips. Use white eyeliner or a piece of paper to protect delicate areas as necessary.
