SHR stands for Super Hair Removal, a technology of hair removal which is having a sweeping success.
The system combines laser technology and the benefits of the pulsating light method achieving painless
results. SHR combined with “In Motion” represents a breakthrough in permanent hair removal with light
technology. The treatment is more pleasant than with the conventional systems and your skin is better
protected.
Difference between traditional IPL technology and SHR
Traditional IPL technologies employ short impulses of approximately 2-300 milliseconds, applying a vast amount of energy (12-120 Joule on one square centimeter). Energy is transported to the hair root through melanin, where warmth of 65-72° Celsius is produced. Energy reaches the root of the hair follicle solely through melanin. Skin and red blood cells have a similar absorption coefficient as melanin and therefore also absorb the high levels of energy produced by the IPL methods.
SHR technology, on the other hand, utilizes the melanin path only partially (50%), it also influences the stem cells that produce new hair. Combining In-Motion technology, it gently warms the skin helping penetrate down to the follicles which produce hair growth.
In a word, Conventional devices, not using SHR technology, merely transport energy along the melanin to the follicles. SHR gently transports the energy through the skin and through the melanin to the hair follicles.
Research has shown that a slower, but longer heating process is considerably more effective for permanent hair removal than high and short levels of energy. Therefore, when using SHR, the device is passed over the tissue multiple times (in motion) using low energy but a high rate of repetition (up to 10Hz, i.e. 10 times per second) instead of using the traditional method with multi, high-energy impulses.
