IPL (SHR) Hair Removal Adelaide

SHR (Super Hair Removal) is a technology that combines Laser hair removal and IPL.

 All treatments at our clinic follow strict safety and consent protocols. During your consultation, your cosmetic nurse will discuss suitability, potential side effects and recovery time in person. This allows you to make an informed decision about your treatment.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

This IPL targets the pigment located in the hair follicle and shaft. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and this energy is converted to heat which results in damage to the hair follicle.

This damage causes delayed re-growth of hair and, in most cases, permanent destruction of many of the hair follicles. The laser used to do this treats hundreds of follicles at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

SHR  hair removal risks include: burns, blisters, scarring, and temporary or permanent skin discoloration, with higher risks for darker skin tones or sun exposure.

Major risks involve potential eye damage from misuse and rare but serious infections, though cancer risk is generally considered a myth.

Proper settings, skin assessment, and professional expertise are crucial to minimize these ris

We recommend 6-8 treatments. There are a variety of factors that can influence the number of treatments any individual may require to achieve the desired results.
What to Expect Immediately After Treatment:
  • Sensation: A mild sunburn-like sensation or slight warmth in the treated area is normal. This usually resolves within a few hours, but may occasionally persist for up to 2 days.
  • Appearance: Mild redness and/or slight swelling around the hair follicles (perifollicular edema), resembling red bumps or “goosebumps,” may occur but typically dissipates within a couple of hours or a day or two.
  • Hair Shedding: Treated hair will be naturally expelled from the follicle over the next 1 to 4 weeks, which may initially look like stubble or new growth. 

Warning: 

Individual results may vary. All invasive procedures carry risks which need to be discussed with a cosmetic doctor. It is always recommended to also seek a second opinion from a qualified health practitioner.
