How is SHR different?

Is SHR & IPL suitable for me?

Treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin types and hair colours. Your clinician will discuss expected results during your consultation.

What is SHR?

SHR is the latest evolution of IPL technology. Unlike traditional IPL that delivers single high-energy pulses, SHR uses rapid, low-energy pulses in a gentle scanning motion.

What makes SHR popular?

More comfortable treatment with reduced skin irritation.

Faster sessions

Ideal for larger areas such as legs, arms, back, and other broad treatment zones.

What is IPL?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a clinically proven hair reduction treatment. Light at specific wavelengths is absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle, converting to heat and reducing future hair growth.

Best for smaller zones

Standard IPL is ideal for underarms, bikini line, facial areas, and smaller treatment areas not suitable for SHR.

Visible reduction

Many clients notice visible reduction after 2–3 sessions, with regrowth becoming finer, lighter, and slower over time.

Long-term maintenance

Some clients may require maintenance treatments once or twice per year depending on hormonal factors.

Treatment Plan

Hair grows in different cycles, and treatments are most effective during the active growth phase. Multiple sessions are required for optimal results.

Recommended Sessions

Personalised course planning

Face: 6–8 sessions · Underarms & Bikini: 6–8 sessions · Legs, Arms & Back: 6–10 sessions · Men’s coarse hair areas: 8–10 sessions.

Treatment intervals: Facial areas every 4 weeks · Body areas every 4–6 weeks.

Pricing Overview

Transparent treatment pricing for facial, body, and men’s areas, with consultation support to recommend the most suitable plan.

Can I shave between treatments?

Yes — shaving is recommended. Shave 24 hours before your appointment and avoid waxing, plucking, or threading during your treatment course, as these remove the follicle being targeted.

Is it permanent?

SHR & IPL provide long-term hair reduction, not instant permanent removal. After a full course of treatments, most clients experience significant and lasting reduction.

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warm flick or gentle heat. SHR is designed to be more comfortable than traditional IPL because it gradually heats the follicle instead of delivering one strong pulse.

How is IPL & SHR Hair Reduction Different?

SHR technology is a breakthrough innovation in IPL treatments. The difference between IPL SHR and other IPL machines is that SHR scans the treatment area with up to 10 flashes per second. This gradually heats the targeted area for painless hair reduction, instead of high intensity shots that can cause discomfort experienced with traditional IPL.

Treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin types and hair colours. Your clinician will discuss your expected results during your consultation.

Intense Pulsed Light

IPL is a clinically proven hair reduction treatment. The device emits light at specific wavelengths that are absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle. The light energy converts to heat, safely disrupting the follicle and reducing future hair growth.

With a full course of treatments, IPL delivers long-lasting hair reduction and smoother skin.

  • Areas not suitable for SHR

How It Works

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

Hair grows in different cycles, and treatments are most effective during the active growth phase (anagen phase). Because not all hairs grow at the same time, multiple sessions are required for optimal results.


Many clients notice visible reduction after 2–3 sessions. Hair becomes finer, lighter and slower growing over time.

Some clients may require maintenance treatments once or twice per year depending on hormonal factors. Your free consultation includes a personalised treatment plan tailored to your skin and hair type.

Treatment Overview

Face — 6–8 sessions, every 4 weeks
Forehead, chin, upper lip, neck, sides of face, and full face areas.
Underarms & Bikini — 6–8 sessions, every 4–6 weeks
Bikini line, full bikini, and underarm areas.
Legs, Arms & Back — 6–10 sessions, every 4–6 weeks
Full legs, arms, and back. SHR recommended for larger areas — reduces treatment time by up to 50%.
Men's Coarse Hair — 8–10 sessions, every 4–6 weeks
Full back, chest, shoulders. Coarse hair requires more sessions for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe for all skin types?

Our advanced IPL & SHR technology is suitable for most skin types. During your free consultation and test patch, we assess your skin tone, hair type and medical history to ensure treatment is safe and effective for you.

Can I shave between treatments?

Yes — shaving is recommended. Shave 24 hours before your appointment.

  • Shave 24 hours before your appointment
  • Avoid waxing, plucking or threading during your treatment course
  • These methods remove the hair follicle — the target of the treatment

Is it permanent?

IPL & SHR provide long-term hair reduction, not instant permanent removal. After completing a full course of treatments, most clients experience significant and lasting hair reduction.

Regrowth, if any, is typically finer, lighter and slower growing. Maintenance sessions may be needed once or twice per year.

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warm flick or gentle heat. SHR is designed to be more comfortable than traditional IPL because it gradually heats the follicle instead of delivering one strong pulse.

Treatments are quick, safe and very manageable.

How do I prepare?

  • Shave the treatment area 24 hours before
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning 4 weeks prior
  • No fake tan for 2 weeks before
  • No Vitamin A / Retinol for 1 week before
  • No deodorant or body oils on the day

What about downtime?

Minimal. You can return to normal activities the same day. Avoid heat (hot showers, sauna, gym) for 24–48 hours after treatment. Apply SPF 30+ daily — treated skin is more sensitive to sunlight.
