QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

SUPER HAIR REMOVAL (SHR)

SHR Page Anchor

WHAT IS SHR?

SHR is a newer hair removal technology compared to IPL in the market, which offers semi-permanent hair removal solution. It is well-loved by many for it's effectiveness,  enhanced comfort, and minimal trauma on the skin, and is an ideal choice for even sensitive areas such as the Brazilian. Over time, the treatment can also help to brighten your pigmented skin and reduce problems such as painful ingrown hair. 

HOW DOES SHR WORK?

SHR hair removal hair follicles are targeted at 20 - 30 shots, using an in-motion or sliding technique that delivers the ideal amount of energy into each follicle. Because the new technology gently heats the hair follicle for a longer period, this results in better, faster results without the increased risk of side effects like burns or discomfort!

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS FROM THE TREATMENTS?

SHR hair removal results are highly dependent on each individual’s hair growth cycle, and the aim is to damage the hair follicles during the active growth phase. After several sessions, you will first start to notice hairs growing out slower, thinner and much finer. After the first 3 session, you might begin to observe more distinct changes, but do continue with the treatments. 

HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD I COME FOR TREATMENT?

Because everyone is different, there’s no set rule on how many sessions you’ll need and when you’ll need them. Hair on different body parts also require different schedules. It is recommended for one to come once every 21 - 28 days between sessions. 

​

For Brazilian/Boyzilian, a minimum of 8 sessions will be recommended.

For Facial Hair, it definitely will take more than 12 sessions.

For all other body parts, a minimum of 6 sessions will be needed.

 

Do note all of these are estimation. How many sessions of hair treatment is dependent on how resilience your hair growth is, your age, your lifestyle etc. There are many factors to contribute. 

WHY ARE YOUR SESSIONS AND SHAVING PACKAGES HAVE DIFFERENT PRICES FOR DIFFERENT BODY PARTS?

Different body parts requires different number of sessions, due to hair growth rate. For the pubic region, the hair growth at that area is more than other body parts, hence the high number of sessions required. â€‹

​

In addition, the shaving for the pubic region will be more expensive as . More time is needed to shave that area as it is a more delicate process. That being said, you can do the shaving yourself at home before coming for the session!

​

WHAT IF I WANT TO DO BOTH MASSAGE AND SHR?

It depends on what body parts do you want to do SHR. Standard protocol is to do SHR then to do massage as the oil might interefere with the SHR light. However, there are exceptions, especially if the SHR parts will be massaged. For example, if you are doing SHR for the legs, and legs is part of the massage, then I will recommend to do the massage first, take a quick shower, then continue with SHR in this case. I will advise based on the procedure of each session, so don't worry about that!

WHAT AREAS DO YOU COVER FOR SHR?

  • Facial hair 

  • Hair on whole arm

  • Armpits

ARE THERE ANY TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR YOUR PACKAGES?

Yes! But it's simple.

  1. Any packages bought will be valid till the following year end December. For example, if you purchase the 6 sessions package on Aug 2022, it will be valid till Dec 2023.

  2. Unused sessions are non-refundable, but you can pass it to someone else to use. However do note that not more than 1/3 of the sessions can be transferred.

  3. Packages prices are not retroactive and accumulative for discounts. For example, if you had purchased 6 sessions of  Upper Leg at $351, and realize that you need to purchase another 6 sessions more, price of the second 6 sessions will still be at $351, and not $663 (cost of 12 sessions) - $351 

  4. All unused credits can be used for massage (at non-discounted rates)es d

HEALTH / SAFETY RELATED QUESTIONS

WHO IS SHR SUITABLE FOR?

Both men and women are suitable for receiving SHR hair removal treatments. While it is known that those with light skin and dark hair often see the quickest and best results with laser hair removal, this is not necessarily the case with SHR!
 

On top of smooth and even skin, the biggest advantage of SHR hair removal is that every skin and hair type are suitable candidates for the treatment.

WHO IS SHR NOT SUITABLE FOR?

There is a whole list of conditions that might deem an individual to either not be able to undergo SHR, or special care must be taken. Some of the more common ones are listed as such.

​

Unsuitable for SHR

Skin Cancer, Pregnant (or still Breast Feeding), Bleeding Abnormalities, Blood Thinning Medications, Hepatities, HIV (due to developing of certain skin conditions that might not be suitable for SHR) etc

​

Requiring a waiting period

UV Exposure from sunbeds (wait 5 days), Recent waxing (wait till there is hair growth as SHR targets hair follicle), Open lesions/Infections/Inflammation etc

DOES THE RADIO FREQUENCY CAUSE CANCER / IS SHR SAFE FOR ME?

25 years of research have not raised any concern regarding its long term safety, and therefore no evidence to suggest that there is a credible cancer risk.
