Benefits of SHR Delivery Over Traditional Laser Hair Removal


SHR (Super Hair Removal) was developed in 2008 as an effective and less painful alternative to traditional laser delivery. SHR delivers the energy by multiple pulses per second of low energy to build up the heat within the follicle in contrast to the single pulse of high energy.

Leading devices, such as SMARTDiode, use SHR delivery to ensure super-fast and pain-free treatments that offer several benefits over traditional laser hair removal. One of the best things about SHR is its ability to deliver energy in a gradual, yet powerful way, which offers the following benefits:



Virtually Pain-free 


SHR technology uses an incremental heating process that is less painful than traditional laser hair removal. It targets the hair follicles in a gentle, yet effective way providing a virtually pain-free delivery compared with high energy.

Suitable for all skin types


Traditional laser hair removal is less effective on darker skin tones due to the risk of burning or damaging the skin, this is due to the single-shot delivery of high energy being absorbed quickly by the skin. SHR however, uses a lower energy level at a high repetition and a longer pulse duration, making it safe for all skin types, including darker and tanned skin.


Faster treatment times


The SHR delivery of "slide and glide" couples with a pulse rate of up to 10 per second allowing for faster repetition rates, this means faster treatment times compared to traditional laser hair removal. The treatment is quick and can be completed in a fraction of the time it takes for other hair removal methods.

Permanent hair reduction


Various clinical studies published worldwide have shown that SHR delivery provides excellent results and with less pain compared to leading high-energy single-pulse lasers.


Fewer side effects


SHR technology is less likely to cause side effects such as redness, swelling, or blistering compared to traditional laser hair removal. This makes it a safer and more comfortable option for people who want to achieve permanent hair reduction.


In conclusion, SHR technology offers several benefits over traditional laser hair removal, including pain-free treatment, suitability for all skin types, faster treatment times, permanent hair reduction, and fewer side effects. If you are considering permanent hair reduction, speak to a healthcare professional to determine if SHR technology is right for you.
