Laser hair removal has long been hailed as the gold standard — but it’s not always the most comfortable, inclusive, or effective method for everyone. Enter SHR (Super Hair Removal): a next-generation solution that’s changing the landscape of hair reduction treatments.
SHR technology for long-term hair reduction uses a gentler, continuous pulse of energy to gradually heat the hair follicle — rather than the harsh, high-intensity bursts seen with traditional laser systems. The result? A treatment that’s better tolerated, more versatile, and still highly effective.

🧬 How It Works
SHR works by using low fluence, high repetition light pulses that are absorbed by both the melanin in the hair and the surrounding tissue. This method:
- Allows for more gradual heating of the skin
- Reduces the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation
- Is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types
- Works well on larger and more sensitive treatment areas
Because of this, SHR is particularly suitable for patients with darker skin tones, finer hair, or those who have had adverse effects from IPL or older lasers.
🧖♀️ What Patients Report
Compared to traditional laser, SHR is frequently described as:
- More comfortable during the session
- Less likely to result in redness or swelling
- Faster to complete (especially for large areas like legs or back)
- Requiring fewer touch-ups over time
It’s even been referred to as the “no-pain upgrade” by patients who previously swore off hair removal technology.
🏥 Where to Get It Done Right
While the technology is a game-changer, the clinic’s technique and training still matter. At Chloe Regan Cosmetic Clinic, SHR treatments are delivered by experienced practitioners who customise energy levels, pulse frequency, and treatment plans based on your unique skin and hair profile.
