INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE HAIR REMOVAL
N.B. It is recommended to carry out the Spot test (page 5) 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.
2. Having followed Duo set-up steps above, press the power button q 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.
NB: 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
Only use the facial adaptor to treat the face (*available for purchase separately)
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. To maximise safety, both AFT and IPL power
levels will function in single shot mode for greater control when treating the face. The facial adaptor includes
a pressure sensor, the treatment window must be in good contact with the skin otherwise the device will not
flash. Start the treatment on level 1 and increase only if the treatment is comfortable.
The facial cartridge is available to buy separately, it is recommended that you use this when performing facial
treatment as it is specially designed to fit smaller areas such as the top lip.
Fitting the facial adaptor (*sold separately)
The facial adaptor attaches to the product in the same way as the standard cartridge. See page 10 for
instructions.
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) Protective goggles are included with the facial cartridge (sold separately). These should be worn to
decrease discomfort when treating near the eyes.
3) Do not use the device to treat hair growth in the nose and ears (see page 3).
4) Make sure you do a Spot Test 48 hours prior to treatment. The Spot test should be done in a hair-free area
such as below the ear or the side of the neck to determine the energy level.
