Recommended treatment protocol:
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 gives you the power to fight unwanted hair growth delivering long term results for perfectly smooth
skin.
For body treatment
Treatment protocol depends on Skin-type/Level selection. Having determined the appropriate level
according to the above chart and/or spot test, follow these recommendations.
Freeglide AFT - 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. Freeglide AFT mode provides a comfortable treatment even in the most sensitive areas and with
darker skin tones. More regular treatment is required to achieve similar results to Single Shot mode
Single Shot IPL - Levels 4 and 5
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 top-up treatments as required
with at least a two week interval. Single Shot IPL 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 skin tone chart on inside back cover.
The effect of the treatments will depend on skin type and hair colour, the results are cumulative. As you
continue to perform more treatments you should notice less hair regrowth.
• 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.
What to expect when using Duo
• A flash of light – it will not harm the eyes when the applicator is applied with full contact to the skin, on the
recommended treatment areas, but avoid looking directly at the flash.
• Fan noise – Lower than that of a hair dryer.
• A pop noise with each pulse – whenever a pulse is activated.
• A sensation of warmth – from the light energy after each pulse.
• A mild stinging sensation - similar to that of being snapped with a rubber band.
For facial treatment (with facial attachments *available separately)
Treatment protocol depends on Skin-type/Level selection. Having determined the appropriate level
according to the above 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.
