Patch test (spot test)
The patch test is used to determine your skins reaction to the Duo Salon treatment and to
help you select the optimal energy level for each treatment area. Carry out a patch test on
each area you intend to treat, at least 48 hours prior to the full treatment.
1. Prepare the patch test area by shaving, washing and drying as described above.
2. Set up Duo Salon following the instructions above and check that it is set to the lowest
power setting - level 1.
3. Place the crystal glass treatment window on the chosen test area making full contact
with the skin.
4. Deliver the first pulse on power level 1, by pressing the pulse button. You will see
a bright flash, hear a popping noise and you may feel a mild stinging or/and heat
sensation. Release the pulse button immediately to avoid delivering multiple pulses to
the same patch of skin.
5. Move the applicator along to cover the next adjacent area of skin in the test area.
6. Press the power button to increase the power level by one. Again, deliver a single
pulse by pressing the pulse button.
7. Only if you feel comfortable repeat steps 5 to 6, increasing one level at a time until you
have reached the maximum power Level (see suitable skin/hair colour table for max
suggested levels). Stop the test if you do not feel comfortable. Always stop treating
immediately if you experience any adverse effects such as severe redness, swelling or
blistering. The higher the power level, the greater the chance of an adverse reaction.
8. Wait 48 hours and examine the tested area. If the skin in the test area seems normal
(no response or mild redness) you can proceed with a full treatment in the highest
comfortable energy level you tested. If you see extreme redness, swelling or blistering,
even in the low energy level settings do not do the full treatment in that area.
WARNING: Always test an area before full treatment. Do not treat the tested area for
at least 48 hours after the patch test is done. Use the table below to make a note of the
energy level that suits you for different areas you wish to treat.
