How it works
SHR / IPL hair removal uses controlled light energy to gradually heat and disable hair follicles in active growth phase. Over a series of treatments, hair becomes finer and less dense, making ongoing grooming easier.
Benefits
- Targets larger areas such as back and chest with efficient treatment times.
- Helps reduce ingrown hairs and irritation from frequent shaving or waxing.
- Can be tailored for a softer, reduced look rather than completely hair-free.
Good for / Not for
- Good for: darker hair on lighter skin tones across the back, shoulders, chest and stomach.
- Not for: very fair, red or grey hair, recent sun exposure or certain medications that increase light sensitivity.
What to expect
- Appointment time: Approx. 20–60 minutes depending on areas chosen.
- Sensation: Warm gliding sensation with brief bursts of heat; modern SHR is designed for comfort.
- Downtime: Mild redness or warmth that typically settles within a few hours.
Aftercare
- Avoid hot showers, heavy workouts and sun exposure on the area for 24 hours.
- Do not wax, pluck or thread during your course; shaving is preferred between sessions.
Results build gradually over multiple sessions. We’ll outline a realistic plan and maintenance expectations at consultation.
