SHR stands for Super Hair Removal, an advanced laser technology designed to reduce unwanted hair safely and effectively on all skin types. Unlike traditional laser hair removal methods, SHR uses a gradual heating method combined with rapid light pulses to target hair follicles gently. This technology makes the procedure virtually pain free and suitable for sensitive skin or darker complexions that might not tolerate traditional lasers well.
SHR hair removal is commonly used on various body areas such as legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, back, and face. It offers long term hair reduction results with minimal discomfort, making it a popular choice among clients looking for a smooth and low maintenance solution to body hair.
The SHR system delivers pulses of low energy at a high repetition rate which gradually heats the skin and hair follicles. Unlike other laser methods that use a single high intensity pulse, SHR spreads energy more evenly and gently. This method allows the skin to be treated multiple times with less risk of irritation or burns.
Another unique aspect of SHR is that it uses the In Motion technique. This means the treatment head is moved continuously over the skin rather than staying in one spot. This motion further reduces discomfort and ensures even coverage, making treatments faster and more efficient.
One of the biggest benefits of SHR is the comfort level. Traditional laser hair removal can feel like a rubber band snapping against the skin, but SHR’s gentle heat approach makes the experience much more pleasant. Most clients report only a mild warming sensation during their sessions.
Older laser technologies often struggled with darker skin tones due to the higher melanin levels which absorb light. SHR overcomes this by using a wavelength that targets hair follicles more safely across all skin tones, including tanned or darker skin.
While some systems work best on dark, coarse hair, SHR can treat finer and lighter hair more effectively thanks to its low fluence, high repetition method. This makes it more inclusive and reliable for different hair types.
SHR treatments require little to no recovery time. Most clients can return to their daily activities immediately after a session. There may be slight redness or warmth, but this usually disappears within a few hours.
SHR offers long lasting hair reduction. With each session, hair becomes finer and lighter, and over time, growth significantly reduces. Although results vary from person to person, most individuals notice a dramatic improvement after just a few sessions.
Before the session, the treatment area will be shaved and cleaned. A cooling gel is usually applied to help with comfort and light transmission. The SHR device will then be glided over the skin while emitting pulses of energy.
Sessions typically take between 15 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart are necessary to catch hairs in their active growth phase.
After the session, you may notice some warmth or redness in the treated area. It is important to avoid sun exposure, hot showers, or intense exercise for at least 24 hours. Always follow the aftercare instructions provided by your technician.
If you have struggled with shaving irritation, waxing discomfort, or ingrown hairs, SHR hair removal could be a great alternative. It is ideal for men and women of all skin types who want a long term reduction in hair growth without the pain associated with traditional methods.
A consultation is recommended to assess your skin type, hair characteristics, and medical history before beginning treatment. This helps ensure the best results while keeping the procedure safe and effective.
