How IPL works

IPL or Intense Pulsed Light is a well-tested and well-proven method for safely and
permanently reducing hair regrowth. It works by emitting high energy pulses of light to
the treatment area. The light energy is readily absorbed by pigments in the hair shaft
and is directed down the hair shaft to the root where it causes the hair follicle to become
unproductive. As a consequence the hair naturally sheds over the next few weeks and no
further regrowth occurs from that follicle.
For IPL to be effective the hair must be in its growth phase at the time of treatment. Since
the hair's lifecycle has 3 phases and not all hairs are in growth phase at the same time,
several treatments are necessary over a number of weeks to effectively treat the whole
area. Duo Salon has been clinically proven to permanently prevent regrowth of of hair in
just 4 treatments, spaced 2 weeks apart. Exact results will vary from person to person, so
some individuals may need a few further treatments to get the best results.
After the first 4 to 6 treatments, most users opt to use occasional top up treatments for
any hairs that start to come into their growth phase later on.
Note: Duo Salon uses a UV filter to carefully control the wavelength of light applied to the
skin for both safety and optimum efficacy. The treatment is completely UV free.
What are AFT FreeGlide and Single Pulse treatments?
Duo Salon has two different modes of operation: AFT and Single Pulse.
AFT (or Advanced Fluorescence Technology) is available on power levels 1 & 2 and
allows larger areas to be treated faster. In AFT FreeGlide mode, the pulse rate is faster
allowing the unit to be moved smoothly across the skin surface with a continuous pulse
action. The fastest pulse is on level 1. On level 2 the pulse is slower, so you will need to
move over the skin slower accordingly, but the energy delivered by each pulse is greater.
In AFT mode we advise moving the treatment window back and forth over the same area
up to 5 times to ensure good coverage.
