Super Hair Removal

Super Hair Removal

How does it work?

It transports heat energy through the skin to the protein (chromophore) in the melanin down to the hair follicle. Using the In-Motion technology, the hand piece or applicator is repeatedly moved across the treatment area using a rolling technique to gently warm the treatment area combined with concurrent cooling of the skin’s surface. Consequently, providing a gradual thermal rise or longer heating process that effectively prevents the hair follicles re-growth, while avoiding injury to the surrounding tissue. This process ensures full coverage while preventing superficial burns and allowing for virtually painless, yet highly effective hair removal.

How Is This Different To Traditional IPL or Laser?

In comparison to traditional laser and IPL methods, SHR provides faster, safer and pain free hair removal for clients with very minimal side effects. Other laser techniques use massive amounts of heat and require multiple generalized laser shots to the skin to destroy hair follicles. As a result, increasing discomfort and side effects.

Why Do I Need More Than One Treatment? 

Treatments are mostly effective when the hair is at the active stage (Anagen phase) in the growth cycle. Some hair follicles can lay dormant and not all hair is at the same phase of the growth cycle at the same time. It can take 10 to 21 days after the procedure for the treated hair to fall out. 

Since hair growth cycles vary it is recommended that 6-8 treatments at 4 weekly intervals will provide the best result. Hair in some areas, such as facial hair grows faster than other areas. So, treatment intervals can vary in such cases. Other considerations requiring extra or ‘top up’ treatments include hairs that lay dormant; some leg hairs can be dormant for 24 weeks, and hormonal changes can stimulate hair growth.

What Are the Risks or Side Effects?

• It is normal if your skin feels warm, similar to a mild sunburn, and for the treated area to remain pink for 2-3 hours. In some people this subsides in a matter of hours or could last for a few days and present like a sunburn.

• A light crusting or stubble may be experienced, which vanishes after 2-3 weeks.

• Blistering is a very small risk that may occur and may take several days to heal.

• Alteration in skin pigment is a very rare risk that may occur. In the rare event that this does occur it disappears after 4-6 months.

• There is no ‘downtime’ or recovery time required.

• After SHR treatment your skin is more susceptible to sunburn and sun damage, which can effect how you respond to the treatment, damage your skin, alter the skins pigment and increase likelihood of blistering.

• To minimize risks of side effects you must provide accurate information and comply with the pre and post treatment instructions.
