WHAT ARE IPL AND AFT?
Duo is a home-use device for the permanent reduction 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 pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain.
Duo gives you the power to fight unwanted hair growth delivering long term results for perfectly smooth
skin. The combination of both Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and 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.
