SHR stands for Super Hair Removal, it is a revolutionary technology of hair removal which is having a sweeping success, adopting technology AFT, EDF, which was first developed by Israel ALMA laser Ltd. The system combines laser technology and the benefits of the pulsating light method achieving practically painless results. Even hairs which until now have been difficult or even impossible to be removed, can now be treated. “In-Motion” technology represents a breakthrough in permanent hair removal where the hand piece is continuously in contact with the skin.
The most popular wavelengths include 540nm-950nm, 650nm-950nm, to achieve the treatment of vascular and pigmentation, skin rejuvenation, and hair removal. Double wavelengths cut-off make the light source pure and result in more profound treatment effect. It is completely pain-free due to effective cooling.

SHR is suitable for all skin types – this is achievable due to the innovative technology utilized where SHR gently transports the energy through the skin and through the melanin to the hair follicle and gently heats it for a longer period of time to the desired temperature. Traditionally tanned or darker skin types could not be treated using lasers or IPL due to the intense absorption of light by darker skins and much higher temperatures used (65-72°C). SHR treatment can be done all year round without having to hide from the sun.
Traditional laser or IPL technologies employ short impulses of approximately 2-300 milliseconds, applying a vast amount of energy -25-35 Joule on 1 square cm. Energy is transported to the hair root through melanin, where warmth of 65-72°C is produced. Skin and red blood cells have a similar absorption coefficient as melanin and therefore also absorb the high levels of energy produced by the laser and IPL methods.
SHR technology, on the other hand, utilizes the melanin path only partially (50%), and combining In-Motion technology, gently heats the treatment area of the skin helping penetrate down to the follicles which produce hair growth, instead of applying intense shots of light at a much higher temperature. This makes SHR hair removal virtually pain-free, offering a comfortable treatment experience for the client.
Research has shown that a slower, but longer heating process is considerably more effective for permanent hair reduction 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 single, high-energy impulses. Thus, the hair melanin, as well as the tissue of the stem cells, is heated with low energy at a slow pace and over a longer period of time to a comfortable temperature of 45°Celsius.
