Super Laser Hair Removal

HIGHLIGHTS

• Super Hair Removal (SHR) is a hair removal technology combining the benefits of laser and IPL with a lower discomfort level, particularly suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones and effective for lighter or finer hair.

• SHR targets hair follicles using selected wavelengths of low energy light in rapid pulses, a process that involves heating the skin gently to disrupt hair regeneration, requiring multiple sessions for comprehensive hair reduction.

• SHR treatment is a customized procedure considering skin tone, hair type, and sensitivity of the treatment area, with an average cost that varies based on the size of the treated area and potential package deals that offer cost reduction.

UNDERSTANDING SUPER HAIR REMOVAL (SHR)

• Super Hair Removal (SHR) is a trailblazing hair removal technology that merges the advantages of both laser hair removal and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Designed to offer a more comfortable experience than traditional laser treatments, SHR caters to a diverse range of individuals, providing an effective solution for those seeking permanent hair removal and to bid farewell to unwanted hair.

• While the concept of laser hair removal may be familiar, SHR sets itself apart through its unique approach. By emitting selected wavelengths of low energy light at high frequencies, SHR gently heats and damages the target hair follicles, leading to long-term hair reduction. It’s a game-changer in the realm of hair removal, offering a less painful and more effective alternative to traditional laser and IPL treatments.

• Furthermore, SHR is particularly advantageous for those with darker skin tones, as it poses a lower risk of potential skin burns and boasts increased effectiveness.

Comparing SHR to Other Hair Removal Methods

• While there are numerous hair removal methods available, SHR stands out due to its unique combination of comfort and effectiveness. Traditional laser and IPL treatments often involve a snapping effect or pin pricks, making the hair removal process uncomfortable for many. SHR, on the other hand, offers a less painful experience without compromising on results.

• Moreover, SHR is particularly beneficial for those with darker skin tones. Compared to IPL, which carries a higher risk of skin burns for darker skin, SHR is a safer and more effective alternative. Regardless of your skin sensitivity, hair type, or desired longevity of hair removal, SHR’s versatility and effectiveness make it an outstanding choice.

HOW SHR TARGETS HAIR FOLLICLES FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS

• Key to SHR’s effectiveness is its unique approach to targeting hair follicles. Using low fluence repetitive light pulses, SHR gently heats the skin to achieve permanent hair reduction. It’s not simply about removing unwanted hair; SHR strives to disrupt hair regeneration at its root.

• SHR works by disturbing the stem cells of unwanted hair using low energy light in rapid pulses. This approach aims to prevent their growth and effectively disrupt hair regeneration. The technology cleverly divides its energy between targeting melanin and the stem cells responsible for hair production, facilitating the treatment of both fine and coarse hair. By leveraging selected wavelengths of light energy, primarily absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles, SHR ensures selective and effective follicle damage without impacting the surrounding skin.

The Role of Melanin in SHR Treatments

• The role of melanin in SHR treatments is crucial. The selected wavelengths of light used in SHR are designed to specifically target the melanin within hair follicles, which selectively absorbs this light. This absorption is a key player in the effectiveness of SHR treatments.

• Once the melanin has absorbed the light energy, it is converted into heat. This heat disrupts the hair follicles’ natural growth cycle, leading to an inhibition of future hair growth. By utilizing the properties of melanin, SHR effectively disrupts hair growth, paving the way for long-term hair reduction.

PREPARING FOR YOUR SHR SESSION

• Before you walk into an SHR session, there are a few steps you need to take to prepare. Shave the hair in the treatment area on the day before or just before the SHR session to target hair in the active growth phase and ensure treatment efficiency. In addition, it’s essential to avoid direct sun exposure and the use of self-tanning products for a minimum of five days before SHR sessions to prevent skin irritation and ensure the skin is in its natural state.

• Moreover, it’s important not to wax, tweeze, or bleach hairs prior to SHR treatments, as these methods remove hair from the root and may interfere with the SHR process, potentially causing ingrown hairs. By following these preparatory steps, you can ensure a smooth and effective SHR session.

DURING THE SHR TREATMENT

• Once you’re well-prepared and in the treatment room, the SHR procedure begins. Patients typically experience a warm sensation during SHR treatment because of the cold gel applied and the use of the SHR device. The applicator is swept back and forth across the treatment area while pulsing light to ensure thorough coverage.

• SHR treatments are considered mild and comfortable, and the applicator comes with a built-in cooling feature to enhance patient comfort. This ensures that the SHR process is not only effective but also a comfortable experience for the patient.

POST-TREATMENT CARE AND RECOVERY

• After the SHR treatment, post-treatment care is crucial to ensure the best results and a smooth recovery. Patients can typically return to regular activities immediately after SHR treatment with no downtime required. However, it is important to avoid hot showers, baths, and saunas for 48 hours to prevent irritation of the treated skin.

• To maintain the treatment’s results, it is recommended to:

  • Avoid exfoliating the treated area for at least one week post-treatment.

  • Apply a broad-spectrum physical sunscreen of at least SPF30 when exposed to the sun.

  • Avoid sun exposure for a week to protect the treated skin.
