INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE SKIN REJUVENATION
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 cleaned (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. Make sure the skin rejuvenation cartridge is installed (see instructions on page 12 on how to change the
cartridge)
3. Having followed Duo set-up steps above, press the power button to turn on the device. The LED indicator
for level 1 will illuminate.
4. 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.
5. When using the skin rejuvenation cartridge on your face, be sure to wear the goggles provided.
6. 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).
7. 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. In this mode, it is only necessary to do two passes over the same
treatment area.
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.
Post treatment care for facial treatment
Apply a calming lotion such as Aloe Vera.
Avoid using peeling and bleaching creams or products for at least 24 hours as this irritates the treated skin.
Avoid more than 15 minutes of direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks post treatment. If recently treated skin
is exposed to sunlight in this time period, make sure to apply SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.
Skin Type Suitability
See below for skin type table
Treatment is very effective in skin types 1 to 3. For skin types 4 and 5, more treatment will be required to
achieve the desired results. This is because a greater part of the energy delivered by the unit, will be absorbed
by the skin. It is not recommended to treat skin type 6 because most of the energy would be absorbed by the
skin causing irritation and other adverse effects. Different parts of the body will respond differently to
treatment, areas with more skin (i.e. cheeks and eyes) will react faster than areas with less (forehead)
