N.B. It is recommended to carry out the Spot test (see
above) at least 48hrs prior to treatment to choose a
safe treatment level for your skin.

1. Prior to use, make sure your skin is shaved, clean and

dry (free of any residue such as powders, creams,
makeup, antiperspirants or deodorants).

Warning!

NEVER use flammable liquids such as alcohol

or acetone to clean the skin before using Duo Lite.
2. Having followed Duo Lite set-up steps above, press

the power button to turn on the device. The LED
indicator for level 1 will illuminate.

3. The device sets itself on the lowest energy level. Use

the power button to increase the energy level to reach
the level determined in the spot test and according to
your convenience. The energy level lights will light up
blue (AFT)/white (IPL) according to the selected level.

4. Place the applicator treatment window on the

required treatment area with full contact to the skin
(the applicator will not trigger a pulse if there is not
full skin contact and the green ‘ready’ indicator light
will stop flashing but remain illuminated when the
device is in good contact with the skin).

5. Dependent on the energy level selected the device can

be used in two ways:

Freeglide method (AFT):

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

N.B.

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.

Single shot method (IPL):

This is the recommended

method to use for high energy levels 4-5. With the
treatment window in contact with the skin, press the
trigger 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.

During both treatment methods you will see a bright
flash, hear a popping noise and may feel a mild
stinging and/or heat sensation.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the chosen area has

been treated.

The product should not be used for more than 30
minutes at one time. After 30 minutes are up, switch
the device off and unplug from the wall.
N.B.

If the device is left on but not used for

approximately 3 minutes it will automatically switch
itself off. If this has happened, press the power button
to turn the device back on.

FACIAL TREATMENT
Always use the precision facial adapter included.

The facial skin is a sensitive area that requires special
care and caution. Make sure you follow all instructions
and safety precautions carefully in order to avoid
adverse effects.

Start the treatment on level 1 and increase only if the
treatment is comfortable.

A precision facial adaptor is available separately and is
specifically designed to make the treatment of smaller
areas easier, such as the upper lip.

WARNING!

1) Do not use the device on the face above the cheek line,

around the eyes, eyebrows or eyelashes as this could
cause serious eye damage.

2) Do not use the device to treat hair growth in the nose

and ears (see page 4).

3) Make sure you do a spot test 48 hours prior to

treatment to determine suitability. The Spot Test can
be carried out on a hair-free area such as below the
ear or the side of the neck.

WARNING!

4) Use a mirror to help you place the applicator correctly

on the treatment area.
