IPL/SHR Hair removal is a controlled, safe and effective method used to permanently reduce unwanted hair. Known to be pain free in comparison to older technologies, SHR is at the forefront of hair removal technology. Using gentle pulses of light, energy is converted into heat, effectively damaging targeted hair follicles, reducing hair growth by up to 80%.
