This new dryer is not only a masterpiece of beautiful Italian design, but also of ergonomic and technological excellence. With its sleek, contoured shape that molds seamlessly into a stylist's hand, and a pistol grip-inspired design, it offers unparalleled comfort and balance. This grants precise control over the dryer for an exceptional styling experience. It’s time to bring Italian style and excellence to your salon.
The IQ Lite Max reigns as the best in style, class and functionality with a lightweight design (under 1 lb.) that’s built to last. GA.MA Italy Professional engines are engineered for longevity, making them perfect for prolonged, continuous use. With its 32mm MAX Digital Power Motor, the dryer generates more pressure and airflow, ensuring efficient and powerful drying every time.

The IQ Lite Max also emits active oxygen, acting as a powerful antibacterial to protect and fortify the scalp, ensuring maximum hair health. It also facilitates superior color fixation, ensuring lasting vibrancy with a unique COLOR LOCK effect. This dryer truly does it all.
Other key features include:
External Microperforated Filter: Designed to stop even dirt particles from entering the dryer and reaching the hair. Visible and easy to remove to facilitate routine cleaning.
