How does SHR work?
SHR works, is a revolutionary new approach,
rather than bombarding your skin with high amounts of Joules (energy), SHR fires multiple shots but at low Joules, in doing so it gently heats the hair follicle to heat
needed and the most you will feel is warmth and a tingling sensation, some clients comparing it to a warm massage. SHR Laser Hair Removal gradually heats the skin by
an in motion or sliding technique until the ideal amount of energy is delivered to the hair follicle. This new technology heats the hair follicle gently and for longer. This
means the hair stem cells and blood supply are directly targeted. Hair follicles are not damaged by a single high energy pulse as in traditional Laser/IPL but by repetitive
application of low energy pulses that raise the temperature of the dermis gradually and for longer.
The difference between SHR, IPL and laser?
SHR scans the treatment area with up to 10 shots
per second. This gradually heats the targeted area for painless hair reduction, instead of high intensity shots that can cause discomfort, experienced with traditional IPLnor
laser. SHR is unlike any other treatments out there, even though it is based on IPL technology its is not IPL and is a totally different application to IPL. It works by
gradually heating the skin to a temperature that effectively damages the hair follicles and prevents re-growth, while avoiding injury to the surrounding area.
SHR fire multiple shots but at lower Joules. This new method gently heats the hair follicles producing a warm tingling sensation—some clients compare it to a warm
massage. In-Motion technology is utilised by moving the hand piece over the treated skin which contributes to the overall comfort felt by our customers during their hair
removal treatments.
Pain free hair removal
Most conventional IPL laser hair removal technologies utilise massive amounts of heat to destroy
hair follicles and ensure permanent reduction. On the other hand, SHR fire multiple shots but at lower Joules. This new method gently heats the hair follicles producing a
warm tingling sensation—some clients compare it to a warm massage. In-Motion technology is utilised by moving the hand piece over the treated skin which contributes to
the overall comfort felt by our customers during their hair removal treatments. This is achieved by using In-Motion technique of moving the applicator repeatedly over the
treatment area; all ensuring full coverage while simultaneously cooling the skin surface- preventing injury and allowing for virtually pain-free, yet highly effective hair
reduction.
All hair types, all skin types , all year round
The unique SHR technology and techniques used in
SHR makes all hair and skin types suitable for this treatment. SHR is also an attractive hair removal solution for those who don’t want to shy away from the sun, meaning
treatments can be had all year round. By utilising low heat, SHR decreases the amount of heat absorbed by the skin so treatment can be done on tanned skin. SHR
Technology is ideal for LIGHTER hair as well as DARKER hair.
Why do I need 8+ treatments?
Early Anagen (early hair growth), Anagen (active hair
growth), Catagen (regression) and Telogen (resting, not growing). SHR hair removal only affects the Anagen stage (actively growing hair). Therefore, approximately 20-
25% of hair is reduced with each treatment. Several treatments are therefore required to fully treat the area.
Can I use Tanning products or Solarium’s?
The answer is NO, you should avoid using Self tanning
products darken the surface of the skin (as does normal tanning – UV rays).When the surface of the skin darkens, it creates a competing target for the light energy of the
laser – with the other competing target being the color in the hair. By darkening the surface of the skin, more laser energy will be absorbed at the skin’s surface rather than
at the base (bulb) of the hair follicle, which is where we want the light energy to be absorbed to result a good treatment. When too much light energy is absorbed at the
surface of the skin, it creates unwanted heat which can then cause blisters or burns. Avoid any exeses sun sun exposure in treatment areas is not recommended 4 – 6
weeks prior to the treatment without adequate sun protection. Do not expose the treated area to the sun for a minimum of two weeks prior to your next appointment. This
also applies to spray tan applications and solariums.

PRE TREATMENT CARE
In the lead up to your treatment ensure:
Avoid Accutane for the past 12 months
Any photosensitive medication, Antibiotics
Do not use topical agents that may increase sensitivity of skin: retinoids, topical antibiotics, exfoliants, acids that
may be drying or irritating to the skin such as alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) beta hydroxy acids (BHA), exfoliating
masks, salicylic acids, hydroquinone, and benzoyl peroxide acne products) 2 weeks prior
Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, Motrin or Advil for 3 days prior to treatment.
These agents will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is critical and responsible for your skin
rejuvenation.
Avoidance of SHR/IPL/Laser procedures, unprotected sun exposure or sunburn for 2 weeks prior.
Avoid tanning, including self-tanning lotions, tanning bed/booths, or sun exposure for 4 weeks prior to, and in
between treatments. A sunscreen with SPF 50+ or greater should be used on any area of sun-exposed skin which
you plan to treat.
No waxing, plucking depilatory creams or electrolysis to area being treated 4 week prior.
if you are prone to cold sores, take antiviral agent for 2 days prior to and day of treatment.
Avoid blood thinning agents (aspirin, fish oil, Omega-3, Vitamin E) , Fish Oil or 1 week prior.
All clients are required to shave 24hrs prior to their treatment / appointment to reduce the risk of burning and
blistering and sensitivity.
Day of appointment, clean skin, makeup free, no deodorant, moisturisers, etc
Post-Treatment Care
• Cold compresses (not ice) and recommended skin care products such as Aloe Vera may be useful if there is
any swelling and erythema or general discomfort. Erythema may last for several hours. (Very rare)
• You may take over-the-counter pain or anti-inflammatory medication. Hydrocortisone (steroid) cream may
decrease any itching or skin irritation. Antibiotic ointment (such as Neosporin) may be used if skin is broken
(very rare) to prevent infection.
• Your skin will be fragile for 2 to 3 days. Use gentle cleansers, but do not rub the skin vigorously and avoid
cleaning with very hot water during this time. Skin moisturisers may be used and make-up can be applied if
the skin is not broken. Aloe Vera gel can help aid recovery
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning creams during the entire course of treatments. NO SOLIRUMS
• Use SPF 50+ or greater on the treatment area at all times.
• The treatment area may be left open and uncovered. Do not scrub the area. Do not use any products on the treated area
without first consulting your Therapist.
• Avoid soaking for 24 to 48 hours. No hot tubs, whirlpools or baths, but showers are allowed if tepid water is used.
• Avoid excessive sweating for 24 to 48 hours. No saunas or vigorous working out.
• Avoid irritants such as Retin-A, Retinol, Renova, glycolics, bleaching creams and exfoliante for two week.

• On occasion, clients experience blistering that causes crusting. This usually does not occur until the following day. If it
does occur, the patient can apply warm compresses and a topical antiseptic ointment. This occurrence should be
relayed to your Aesthetic Practitioner as future treatments will require that the settings be adjusted.
