SHR (Super Hair Removal) is the newest method of permanent hair removal and is considered one of the fastest, quickest, and virtually pain-free methods available today. It works on dark coarse as well as fine light hair by eliminating stem cells responsible for their regeneration.
This innovative light-based technology is safe, fast and effective for all skin colors and hair types–even tanned skin–while also working on hormone-related conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
No.
Super Hair Removal (SHR) offers an alternative to shaving, waxing, plucking and other hair removal methods that may cause unwanted side effects like bumps, redness or bleeding – using heat instead to destroy hair follicles that would otherwise grow new hair in future.
SHR technology is considered safe for use across a wide spectrum of skin tones and hair colors – from darker coarse hair to blonde fine strands – thanks to melanin pigments in your locks absorbing its light beam, which targets individual follicles without harming surrounding tissues or harming more delicate hairs that would be hard to treat using other laser technologies such as IPL.
The SHR machine’s unique design dispenses lower-frequency pulses of energy that are much safer for skin than traditional laser devices and far less painful, while still achieving effective treatments. Furthermore, it features a cooling system to keep skin surfaces comfortable during treatment, as well as its trademark “in-motion” technique which moves handpieces across desired areas without contact between handpiece and surface and therefore making treatment even gentler and less uncomfortable.
To achieve optimal results from SHR hair removal treatments, it’s recommended to shave the area to be treated a day prior to attending an appointment. Keep in mind, however, that SHR works best on hair in its anagen phase and shave too soon before your session may not have as great an effect on results.
Before or during a SHR treatment, tanning should also be avoided to minimize risk for complications like pigmentation changes and damage to skin tissue. Should you decide to tan before or during your SHR session, inform your therapist so they can adjust treatment settings appropriately.
SHR machines with built-in whitening features are especially helpful for those with darker complexions who are concerned about pigmentation issues, as it can brighten and even out their skin tone, while decreasing freckles and age spots. Some models even come equipped with spot treatment capabilities for acne and pimples for clear, flawless skin after each treatment session.
SHR treatments require fewer visits than other hair removal options, saving time and money over time. You’ll also see an obvious decline in hair growth after receiving multiple SHR sessions.
SHR employs a lower-frequency pulse of light to destroy hair follicles, making it suitable for all skin types. If you suffer from any medical conditions that increase light sensitivity such as psoriasis or rosacea, such as these two examples, such as it would be wise to inform your therapist prior to beginning SHR treatments and take precautionary steps such as wearing protective eyewear during each appointment.
Yes.
SHR differs from traditional hair removal techniques by permanently disabling future growth of unwanted hair, which eliminates the need to purchase shaving cream or book waxing appointments every few weeks – saving both money and time in the long run. IPL technology uses light energy absorbed by melanin in your hair to convert into heat that kills its follicle, but this process may cause discomfort on darker skin tones due to high-intensity energy shots reaching deeper layers.
SHR takes an innovative approach that targets hair melanin and stem cells involved with stimulating hair production, for a fast, effective and virtually pain-free treatment that even removes stubborn blond and red hairs that cannot be reached with IPL treatments.
Alma Lasers’ SHR device delivers light energy directly into your body using low pulses of energy over 6-10 passes over desired areas, gradually heating up until reaching a comfortable temperature for your skin. Research has confirmed this gradual heating method as more effective at permanent hair reduction than high levels of short energy impulses used by laser and IPL treatments.
This device has been specially created to be safe for all skin tones and types, including dark or black skin. What sets this device apart is that its unique feature – targeting melanin instead of surrounding tissue – ensures minimal risk to delicate facial areas from IPL treatments or similar technologies.
SHR treatments are appropriate for people of all skin types and colors. To maximize effectiveness of SHR sessions, it is wise to avoid tanning or sun exposure in the weeks prior to treatment, and shave the area being treated a day or two beforehand as this ensures the hair follicles are in their anagen phase and more effectively targeted. Customers with lower pain tolerance can even request an anesthetic be applied locally for additional comfort during treatments – no pain whatsoever is guaranteed during your experience!
Peachy Skin Bar’s SHR device may take five to ten sessions before producing results that gradually stop hair growth. Hormonal changes and certain medications may trigger additional growth; however, following your initial series of treatments it’s likely you won’t require further treatments for five years or more.
