SHR Hair Removal In Singapore: Is It Better Than IPL? Here’s All You Need To Know About This Treatment

As much as we want to embrace the hirsute state, such unsightly hair can look a little unkempt, which is why people turn to DIY hair removal. Unfortunately, hair removal methods like waxing or sugaring often come with unbearable pain (think twitching and screaming in agony).  So, it is no surprise that most people turn to shavers to attain the smoothest skin of their dreams. But with the high possibility of razor bumps and cuts, getting professional treatment for IPL is a much-needed intervention. However, for those who are still new to the beauty scene, SHR hair removal is the new buzzword.

What is SHR Hair Removal?

Super Hair Removal or commonly known by its abbreviation, SHR is an FDA-approved hair removal technology. It emits low energy of rapid pulsing diode laser at a high frequency to destroy the hair follicles, preventing regrowth. The rapid pulses gradually heat the skin, whereas the energy absorbed is accumulated to target the melanin and cells, causing hair growth. 

Since the energy is distributed gently, it does not exert any irritating effect on the skin, making it suitable for everyone with all skin types and tones. What’s more, SHR hair removal can also eliminate fine and coarse hair. Primarily, it is suitable during the active growth phase, specifically the anagen stage. Therefore, it is recommended to shave the area a day before you undergo the hair removal treatment. 

SHR Hair Removal VS IPL Hair Removal 

SHR hair removal technology is relatively new compared to IPL hair removal, hence it features technology that is useful in removing unwanted hair. Most of all, SHR hair removal has minimal pain and discomfort as it imparts low fluence repetitive laser pulses while simultaneously cooling the targeted area. Thereby, it ensures that the treatment is comfortable and protects the skin from trauma. 

Aside from being 40% faster than IPL treatment, SHR hair removal is also ideal for everyone of all skin types and tones. Plus, it can eliminate both fine and coarse hair through its precise shots, which remove unwanted hair efficiently. 

Contrary to IPL treatment, which requires a session about once every two weeks, SHR hair removal only needs monthly maintenance. However, it is also similar to IPL hair removal which can be used on different parts of the body, including the face, underarms, legs, and bikini line. For those who irk at the idea of a painful hair removal experience, SHR hair removal might be a suitable option as it helps to keep your skin hairless with less maintenance required. 

Can SHR Hair Removal Treatment Permanently Remove Hair?

With consistent SHR hair removal treatment, you can remove the hair permanently. However, do note that the result varies as it depends on several factors, including hormonal changes. After the treatment, it is common to notice hair regrowth in the areas. Hence, it is important that you do a follow-up treatment to maintain such results. 

Are There Any Side Effects Of The SHR Hair Removal? 

SHR hair removal treatment only takes about 30 minutes per session with zero downtime or even side effects. So you can proceed with your daily activities once the treatment ends. To expedite the healing process, it is important to follow the aftercare instructions.
