4. The device sets itself on the lowest energy level. Deliver the first pulse, on energy level 1, by pressing the
pulse button. You will see a bright flash, hear a popping noise and you may feel a mild stinging or/and heat
sensation.
5. Remove the applicator from the skin and place it on the next spot of the test area.
6. Use the power button to increase the energy level by 1. The energy level lights will light up blue (or white
for levels 4 and 5) according to the selected energy level. Deliver the second pulse, on energy level 2, by
pressing the trigger button.
7. Only if you feel comfortable repeat steps 5 to 6 until you have reached the maximum energy Level of 5.
Stop the test once you do not feel comfortable, increasing the energy level increases the risk of adverse
effects. If you see adverse effects such as severe redness or blistering stop the test immediately.
8. Wait 48 hours and examine the tested area. If the skin in the test area seems normal (no response or mild
redness) you can proceed with a full treatment in the highest comfortable energy level you tested.
If you see extreme redness, swelling or blistering, even in the low energy level settings do not do the full
treatment in that area.
Note: Do not treat full areas in energy levels you have not tested before.
Do not treat the tested area for at least 1 week after the spot test is done. Use the table below to make a note
of the energy level that suits you for different areas you wish to treat.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
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 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 Quartz.
2. Having followed Duo Quartz set-up steps above, press the power button
indicator for level 1 will illuminate.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. 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.
