How SHR Hair Removal Is Superior to Traditional Laser

SHR (Super Hair Removal) is a newer, more comfortable technology that improves on the drawbacks of traditional laser hair removal. While both methods permanently reduce hair growth, SHR offers several key advantages:

1. SHR Is Significantly More Comfortable

Traditional laser uses one powerful pulse of heat, which can feel sharp or painful.SHR works with fast, low-energy pulses that gradually heat the hair follicle, building heat gently instead of all at once.

✔ Less pain
✔ No sharp stinging
✔ Often described as “warm, like a hot stone massage”

2. SHR Is Safer for More Skin Types

Traditional lasers work best on light skin + dark hair because the energy targets pigment. SHR uses lower energy delivered repeatedly, making it safer and more effective for:

✔ Tanned skin
✔ Darker skin tones
✔ Sensitive skin
✔ Clients who tend to get pigmentation issues

3. SHR Treats Hair in ALL Growth Cycles

Traditional laser targets hair only when it’s in the anagen (growth) phase—so you must wait between sessions for the next growth cycle.

SHR uses in-motion technology, so it repeatedly passes over large areas and targets multiple cycles at once.

This means:

✔ Faster overall results
✔ Less waiting between sessions
✔ More thorough reduction in stubborn areas

4. SHR Covers More Area, More Evenly

SHR gradually heats the skin while moving over the treatment area.

✔ No missed spots
✔ More even coverage
✔ Great for legs, back, arms, and sensitive regions

5. Lower Risk of Burns or Discomfort

Because SHR uses gentler energy over time (instead of one big blast), the skin heats safely and steadily.

✔ Lower burn risk
✔ Fewer side effects
✔ Suitable for clients with low pain tolerance

6. Faster Treatment Times

Continuous motion + low-energy rapid pulses = quick passes over the skin.

✔ Full legs can be treated in a fraction of the time
✔ Large areas finish faster with fewer breaks
