SHR combines laser technology and pulse light to achieve almost painless results for the removal of most types of hair and is safe on all skin types. SHR is different from the traditional IPL and laser as it targets the hair germ cells and blood supply that feeds it. It does not rely sole(pigment) of the hair to effectively destroy the targeted hair.

New research has shown that a slower, longer heating process is more effective for permanent hair reduction than high and short levels of energy.

Most people vary in the number of treatments required, this does depend on where their hair cycles are when we first start but usually most people need 6 treatments. Some clients have had 70% loss after just 4 sessions.

For best results, on average we recommend 6 to 10 treatments. This will allow hairs to be disabled effectively during the active growth phase. After completing a treatment course, if required, we recommend maintenance touch ups to be performed once or twice a year. People suffering from hormone imbalance may required more treatments.

In order for the treatment to be as successful as it possibly can be there are a few requirements to take on board:

Please ensure the area to be treated is free from ALL topical solutions
Shaving is required 2-12 hours prior any sooner can result in heightened sensitivity during the process
Avoid exposure to the sun for a minimum of three days before treatment whilst tanned skin is absolutely fine to work with, the tan cannot be active in order to achieve maximum results
Cease use of tanning creams two weeks before treatment
Avoid bleaching, plucking, waxing, epilation and any other forms of hair removal for 4 weeks prior
Do not use essential oils 48 hours prior
Depilatory creams should be avoided 1 week before treatment commences
Cold sore medication can be taken five days before and five days after treatment
Should you be on antibiotics it is recommended to leave a two week gap between taking them and starting treatment
