Laser SHR Hair Removal

SHR HAIR REMOVAL

PAIN-FREE LASER HAIR REMOVAL
The unique laser technology and techniques used in SHR makes all hair and skin types suitable for this treatment (Blond - less effective, grey - no effective) and safe to tanned skin.

Anagen - the phase of growth, the bulb is connected to the matrix and nourished through vessels adjacent to the hair follicle, melanocytes produce melanin. Epilation performed in this phase is most effective.
Catogen - the transitional phase, the hair is released from the papilla and goes up, the melanocytes stop producing melanin.
Telogen - the resting phase, hair deadens and falls, under the dead matrix new hair is born

Most conventional laser hair removal technologies utilize massive amounts of heat to destroy hair follicles to ensure permanent reduction In effect, it gives the best results with the least invasive treatments SHR Lasers, however, fire multiple shots at lower Joules. This is new method gently heats the hair follicles producing a warm tingling sensation - some clients compare it to feeling of warm massage.

IN-MOTION technology is utilised by moving the hand piece over the treated skin, which contributes to the overall comfort felt by our costumers during their reduction treatment. The wavelength emitted by the SHR(690,750 - 1200 nm) penetrates to 2-3 mm into the skin. Therefore, it works surface-friendly without affecting the functioning of the body. SHR emits a gentle beam of rays, penetrating through the skin up to the hair follicle, in which the beam is absorbed by the hair pigment – melanin. The laser energy is converted into heat which destroys the bulb forever. It does not cause skin damage! Additionally, RF current of electricity flowing through the skin chooses the path through the previously preheated by light tissue and selectively boosts them. RF current flow is not dependent on the amount of melanin in the skin, so that this technology can be safely applied for all skin types. The laser light destroys only the bulbs that are in active growth phase (anagen). Unfortunately, not all hair grows at the same time. While part of hair is in the phase of growth (hair is visible on the skin) and it reacts to light SHR, the remaining hair is in the phase of 'sleep' (catagen, telogen), which has a different duration time (3-8 weeks). After this period the active phase of hair growth begins and therefore the treatments must be repeated several times at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks. It is not possible to determine the number of treatments needed in advance.
