What To Expect

A Larger hand piece means SHR technology can perform procedures and treatments up to 10x faster than traditional LASER or IPL tech meaning you can pop in for treatments despite busy schedules and lifestyles! And with help from the active frosted cooling plate in the hand piece, the sensation of SHR is far less intense.

Most clients will feel a warmth and tingling

sensation comparing this treatment to a warm/cool massage.

​

The sensitivity varies  by the thickness/colour and treatment area of the hair.

​

Clients with thicker and more course hair will feel the treatment more than someone with fewer and thinner growth.

But thanks to our technology we can work with settings to adjust to your suited comfort level by slowly raising the temperature to a comfortable 45 degrees while cross hatching 6 passes over the skin. 

How Many?

Treatment course vary from person to person, it is usual that a minimum of 6, every 4-6 weeks for Body and 2-4 weeks for Face is a good start, than an evaluation with your Therapist to determine future treatments needed.
Please note that for some people this may take up to and sometimes longer than a year.

Pre SHR Treatment

• Do not wax, pluck, use depilatory creams or undertake electrolysis for 4 weeks prior to treatment, and in between treatments

• Do not use prescription strength exfoliant creams (Retin-A and Alpha Hydroxy) for 2 weeks prior to treatment

• Do not shave for up to 2 weeks prior to first treatment. Please shave the night before all subsequent treatments

• Avoid tanning, including self-tanning lotions, tanning bed/booths or sun exposure, for 4 weeks prior to and in between treatments. A Cosmedical sunscreen with SPF 30 (our OCosmedics Mineral Pro is perfect) or greater should be used on any area of sun-exposed skin, which you plan to treat

• No tight clothes - Bring loose comfortable clothing to your appointment 

Post SHR Treatment

• A slight ‘pepperiness’ or heated sensation is anticipated depending on the individual. This usually resolves within 2-3 hours of treatment but may persist for up to 2 days.

• Application of chilled aloe vera gel or an ice pack every hour for 5 to 10 minutes may be soothing to the skin. Continue until symptoms subside

• Avoid sun exposure to treated areas. Apply a sun block with SPF30 or greater daily to sun-exposed treated areas between treatments and for 4-6 weeks after last treatment

• Bathe or shower as usual. 

• No strongly scented lotions or soaps,

• No exfoliation to treated areas during healing phase

• Allow any blistered or open areas to heal spontaneously. If healing is delayed, a thin coating of antibiotic ointment may be advised. Do not pick at these areas. Allow any crusting to heal spontaneously, crusting will resolve in 3 to 14 days. Application of antibiotic ointment is not recommended for crusting

• Appearance of Stubble may appear in 1 to 4 weeks.

• This is not hair re-growth It is the remnant of treated hairs being expelled from the IPL-damaged follicle. Allow this hair to fall out of the skin on its own or by gently washing with a warm wet washcloth.

• Do not pluck or tweeze. You may shave during this period

• Best results are obtained on clients who have follow up treatment immediately after hair starts to grow. Your clinician will advise you when you should schedule your next appointment. It is important to adhere to this regime
