Note: It is recommended to carry out the Spot test 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. Press the power button to turn on the device. The LED
indicator for energy level 1 will illuminate.
3. 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) or white (IPL) according to the selected energy
level.
4. Place the treatment window on the treatment area with
full contact to the skin (the device will not trigger a pulse if
there is not full skin contact).

5. Dependent on the energy level selected the device can be used in two ways:
AFT FREEGLIDE™ method
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.
Note: 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.
IPL Single shot method
This is the recommended method to use for high energy levels 4-5. With the treatment window in
contact with the skin, press the pulse 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 LED status indicator to stop flashing (up to 3.5 seconds) before pressing the pulse
button again.
Note: 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 areas have been treated. The product should not be
used for more than 30 minutes at one time. After 30 minutes are up, turn the device off and
unplug from the wall.
Note: If the device is left on but not used for approximately 3 minutes it will automatically turn itself
off. If this has happened, press the power button to turn the device back on.
Male users:
Male body hair, especially on the chest, will generally require more hair reduction sessions.
Note: Do NOT use for male facial hair treatment
