Super Hair Removal (SHR) at Bedford Laser Clinic

SHR is one of the most comfortable and effective methods of long-term hair reduction. It combines lower-energy pulses with high repetition to gently heat the follicles without damaging the skin.

Perfect for those who want long-lasting results with minimal discomfort

How SHR Works

SHR is one of the most comfortable and advanced forms of laser hair reduction.
Rather than firing one intense pulse at a time, SHR works by:

  • Rapid continuous pulses

  • Gradual heating

  • Sweeping motion over the treatment area

This allows the skin to reach the temperature needed to damage the hair follicle without overheating or discomfort, making it suitable for most skin types and ideal for clients who prefer a gentler experience.

Benefits of SHR

  • Gentler & more comfortable than traditional laser

  • Suitable for a wider range of skin types

  • Effective on finer and lighter hairs compared to older IPL methods

  • Fast treatment times, even for large areas

  • Lower risk of burns or pigmentation issues

  • Works well on large areas like legs, back and arms

SHR Hair Removal Aftercare

  • Avoid heat (hot showers, saunas, steam rooms) for 24 hours

  • Avoid sun exposure or tanning throughout your treatment course

  • Use SPF on exposed treated areas

  • You can shave between sessions, but do not wax or pluck

  • Some mild redness may occur but settles quickly

Who Is Suitable for SHR?

SHR is suitable for most people but may NOT be suitable if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Are on photosensitive medication

  • Have had high sun exposure within 2 weeks, before or after your session

  • Have significantly tanned skin
