SHR (Super Hair Removal) is the most recent method for permanently reducing unwanted hair, utilising the most recent evolution of Diode Laser and IPL technologies. SHR technology, which has been endorsed by leading medical experts, is a safe and highly effective treatment for permanent hair reduction. It uses rapid “pulses of low- energy light to gently, effectively, and efficiently traumatise hair stem cells, preventing re-growth. SHR delivered directly to the target requires a relatively low terminal temperature to be clinically effective, with little or no trauma to surrounding tissue, providing pain-free and safer treatments

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is it appropriate for?

SHR is the solution for both men and women! The treatment is suitable for all skin types 1-6. Low energy pulse SHR technology allows for the successful treatment of both dark and light skin types, as well as tanned skin (but no fake tanners!). Arms, Back, Cheeks, Chest, Chin, Ears, Eyebrows, Face, Intimates/Bikini line, Legs, above Lips, Nose, and Underarms are all suitable areas for SHR Laser Hair Removal.

What number of treatments will I require?

Each hair removal treatment affects roughly 20% of the hair in the targeted area. We recommend an average of 6-10 weeks, depending on hair regrowth time, which varies depending on the area of the body. The average number of treatments required for a successful treatment is eight, with a top-up treatment once a year if necessary. The effects last long after your course is completed. You can also shave in between sessions (but no waxing, threading). We simply recommend a yearly top-up to keep you hair-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.What happens during laser hair removal?

Before the treatment, the area to be treated will be cleansed. Some patients receive a numbing gel. Numbing the area to be treated helps when a small area will be treated and the skin is very sensitive. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes for a numbing gel to work.
A laser removes hair by vaporizing it. This causes small plumes of smoke that have a sulfur-like smell.

2.What must I do after getting laser hair removal?

To avoid possible side effects, all patients need to protect their skin from the sun. After laser hair removal, you should:
Avoid direct sunlight from hitting your treated skin.
Not use a tanning bed, sun lamp, or any other indoor tanning equipment.
Follow your dermatologist's after-care instructions

3.Is there downtime?

No, laser hair removal generally does not require any real downtime. Immediately after having laser hair removal, your treated skin will be red and swollen. Despite this, most people return to their everyday activities.

4.When will I see the results after having laser hair removal?

You will likely see the results immediately after treatment. The results vary from patient to patient. The color and thickness of your hair, area treated, type of laser used, and color of your skin all affect the results. You can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first treatment.
To remove the hair, most patients need 2 to 6 laser treatments. After finishing the treatments, most patients do not see any hair on the treated skin for several months or even years. When the hair regrows, there tends to be less of it. The hairs also tend to be finer and lighter in color.

5.How long will the results of laser hair removal last?

Most patients remain hair free for months or even years. When some of the hair regrows, it will likely be less noticeable. To keep the area free of hair, a patient may need maintenance laser treatments.

6.What are the possible side effects?

The most common side effects are minor and last 1 to 3 days. These side effects include:
Discomfort
Swelling
Redness
Other possible side effects are rare when laser hair removal is performed by a dermatologist or under the dermatologist's direct supervision. Other possible side effects include:
Blistering
Herpes simplex (cold sores) outbreaks
Infections
Scarring
Skin lightening or darkening

7.When is it safe to have another laser treatment for hair removal?

This varies from patient to patient. Removing hair often requires a series of laser treatments. Most patients can have laser hair removal once every 4 to 6 weeks. Your dermatologist will tell you when it is safe to have another treatment.
Most patients see some hair regrowth. Your dermatologist can tell you when you can safely have laser treatments to maintain the results.

8.What is the safety record for laser hair removal?

Lasers play an important role in treating many conditions that affect the skin.In recent years, many advances have been made in laser medicine. Dermatologists have led the way in making these advances.
One such advance is that more people can safely have laser hair removal. In the past, only people with dark hair and light skin could safely have laser hair removal. Today, laser hair removal is a treatment option for patients who have light-colored hair and light skin and patients who have dark skin. Laser hair removal must be performed very carefully in these patients. Dermatologists know what precautions to take to provide laser hair removal safely and effectively.
