SHR stands for Super Hair Removal. It is a technology of permanent hair removal which is proving very successful. The system combines laser technology and the benefits of the pulsating light method achieving practically painless results. Even hairs which until now have been difficult or even impossible to be removed, can now be treated. “In Motion” represents a breakthrough in permanent hair removal with light technology. The treatment is more pleasant than with the conventional systems and your skin is much better protected.

The sweeping technique of moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area ensures full coverage while the MAX cooling system cools the skin surface - preventing superficial burns and allowing for virtually pain-free, yet highly effective hair removal.

Until now hair had to be treated during the growing phase (20%-30%).

In the telogen phase stem cells are in a resting phase but can still successfully be treated with the SHR system.

Since growth cycles vary, approximately 8 treatments are usually necessary.

Treatment with SHR is practically painless, compared to treatment with conventional IPL devices. The sweeping technique of moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area gives full coverage while the MAX cooling system cools the skin surface, preventing superficial burns and allowing for virtually pain-free, yet highly effective hair removal.

Although light skin with dark hair responds most favourably to the treatments, SHR-technology also enables the successful treatment of dark skin, removing achromous fine hairs.

- At least 1 week before the first treatment, intense sun exposure or solarium visits should be avoided.

- Hairs should not be waxed or plucked less than 6 weeks before treatment. Shaving is permitted any time. Areas to be treated should ideally be shaved one day before the scheduled appointment.

- If you are currently on the medication Ro-accutane or similar or have been in the past 6 months, please let us know before each treatment session. This medication can make your skin more susceptible to damage from the treatment.

After your treatment, the area is cleansed and you can return to your normal activities immediately. Slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to sunburn, may occur in some patients. These effects typically last no more than 24 hours.

The skin’s natural protection is somewhat weakened after this intense light treatment. Therefore a high level of UV protection (30-50) in the form of suntan lotion should be applied for about 1 week.

After 1-5 weeks hair will fall out. Shaving is possible any time but hair should not be plucked.

Keep the area clean. Wash gently with tepid water. Avoid the use of any possible skin irritant on the face such as the stimulant creams (Retin-A, Retinova, Glycolic Cream), Benzoyl perioxide or astringents. If the area appears red or shows any signs of tenderness, apply a soothing cream. If you experience any persistent irritation or notice weeping, broken skin, blistering or pigmentation changes following the treatment please get in touch with us.
