Duo Lite is a home-use device for the permanent
r
eduction of hair growth based on Intense Pulsed Light
(
IPL) and Advanced Fluorescence technology (AFT) that
is found in salons across the globe. It works below the
skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or
p
ulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain.
Duo Lite gives you the power to fight unwanted hair
growth delivering long term results for perfectly smooth
s
kin. The combination of both Intense Pulse Light (IPL)
a
nd Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT) in a
single device provide highly flexible treatments that can
be tailored perfectly to different parts of the body and to
different skin tones. Choose between Freeglide AFT
which delivers up to 1 pulse per second for fast and easy
treatments that are comfortable even on sensitive skin
or single shot IPL treatments with the benefit of
additional control when using higher power.
