SHR (also known as Super Hair Removal) is one of the latest technologies that was introduced in Singapore and loved by many. Despite producing a higher frequency during application, it uses gentle pulses of energy to give you the most effective hair removal results.

This means that the SHR laser is capable of heating the skin gently with rapid pulses of energy which the skin will then accumulate, allowing the SHR laser to eliminate any fine and coarse hairs efficiently without causing much discomfort.

The SHR laser treatment is truly a “Super Hair Removal” because it’s less likely to cause irritation, redness, and trauma to the skin compared to the other technologies.

The SHR laser hair removal treatment works by utilizing powerful, intense yet gentle laser pulses to target hair follicles underneath the skin’s surface and effectively remove unwanted hairs. The roots of the hair will be destroyed after each session and eventually lose their capability to regrow.

SHR laser hair removal uses low fluence light which explains why some people may feel a sense of warmness during the treatment. It has the latest in-built technology to minimise the irritation to the skin cells and thus be more effective at nixing hair follicles gently.

On the other hand, the IPL (also known as Intense Pulsed Light) device produces a higher frequency of light energy at a slower rate. This is why temperature tends to be higher during treatment.

Additionally, an IPL device can only release 1 shot per second. In contrast, an SHR device can release 20 to 30 shots per second, thus enabling you to cut down the treatment time significantly.

Depending on the targeted area, the duration of an SHR laser treatment can take as fast as 2 minutes or up to 20 minutes.

Here’s what to expect during the treatment

Step 1: We will ensure that the hair follicles are completely stripped and shaven clean.

Step 2: A cooling gel will be applied to protect the delicate skin.

Step 3: With swift motions, our trained aesthetician will professionally use the SHR Laser Hair Removal device over areas that are to be treated.

Step 4: Moisturizers will be applied for post-treatment care.

Most people who have gone through the treatment have given feedback that SHR does not hurt at all. This means that it is practically painless.

Having said that, the tolerance level varies from person to person. You might feel a slight warming sensation in areas, especially with thicker and crowded ingrown hairs.

The SHR laser hair removal treatment is suitable for:

• Those who find IPL treatment uncomfortable and unbearable
• People who prefer a gentle and faster mode of treatment
• Anybody with sensitive skin that is easily irritated

SHR treatment might not be suitable nor effective for:

• Those with lighter and finer hairs as they might require more treatments
• People with extremely dark skin types as it might be challenging to destroy hair follicles

The trial prices of our SHR laser treatment are between $98 and $288.. You can select a treatment based on your desired targeted areas and your body goals. Treatment sessions will be recommended for complicated hair follicle conditions upon a consultation.

SHR treatment technically also uses laser for treatment, but with a different type of laser technology. Clinical research has shown that it’s better than other types of laser hair removal technologies.

In terms of effectiveness, SHR laser hair removal treatments also show a higher success rate for permanent hair reduction. This is because the heating process by the SHR laser is slower and longer than traditional lasers that emit high and short levels of energy.

Since its launch, there have been minimal reports of any dangerous health risks associated with the SHR device.

However, the condition of each body varies from person to person. Some people might experience some minor side effects.

As your safety is always our priority, you won’t be permitted to undergo any of our laser hair removal treatment if you are:

• At 3 months post-pregnancy and/ or 3 months post breastfeeding. This is for both your safety and hormonal reasons.
• Undergoing current or post-cancer treatments.
• Less than 18 years old.

Yes, the SHR laser hair treatment can permanently treat actively growing hair. However, fine hairs can also grow back after your treatment due to:

• The development of hair follicles that were not in the active growth phase after you ended your treatment.
• After initial treatments, hormonal changes such as aging, menopause, or pregnancy could also result in fine hair growth.

You can expect to see results after just 1 session. For the best results, we recommend that you undergo at least 6 treatment sessions.
