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 page 7.
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 Lite
• 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
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.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
When using Duo Lite according to the instructions for
use, side effects are rare. Please ensure you treat using
an appropriate energy level (see pages 3 & 7) to
decrease the likelihood of experiencing side effects.
However, every cosmetic procedure including the usage
of home use devices may cause some degree of side
effects:

FAQ’S
Does AFT/IPL actually work?
Yes, these technologies are proven to achieve long-term
hair reduction results. The use of light energy has been
well documented for over 17 years in professional
journals and by well-respected institutions.
Which body areas can the device be used on?
The device is designed to remove hair everywhere
below the cheek line with the most commonly treated
areas being the legs, underarms, arms and bikini line.
Men should not use the device for facial treatment.
Is the device safe for use?
The device has been tested and approved by
dermatologists and physicians to meet the European
safety standards for a home use device. This electronic
device must be used according to the instructions for
use and user precautions.
What effect does the device have on different coloured
hair?
Duo Lite works best on dark hair or hair that contains
more melanin. Brown and light brown hair will respond
but typically will require more treatment sessions. Red
hair may show some response. White, grey or blond hair
show limited response. Nevertheless, some users have
noted hair reduction after multiple treatment sessions.
Does it hurt to use the device?
Some users may experience discomfort (when dealing
with thicker and darker hair) but this discomfort
diminishes once the session is completed. When
correctly used most users feel a slight mild
stinging or/and heat sensation at the time of the pulse
light similar to that of snapping an elastic band.
When are results from the device achieved?
Results are not immediate, typically after two weeks
many of the hairs in the treated area will simply fall out.
As the hair grows in three different stages and only
hairs in the active growth phase will be affected,
multiple sessions are required to achieve the desired
result. Results are cumulative; as you continue your
