IPL VS SHR

IPL VS SHR

Hair Free Me

Waxing, shaving, epilating and tweezing. Chances are we have tried one or the other to remove hair and achieve smooth skin. Though these are the choices of many when grooming, they are not permanent and may leave you with razor burns, ingrown hair and scarring when not done right, repeatedly. What if there’s a more permanent way to stun hair growth?

Shining light on melanin

If you have considered hair removal professionally, chances are you have heard the terms IPL and SHR. Both IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and SHR (Super Hair Removal) uses light energy, which then converts to heat, to destroy hair follicles, preventing regrowth. Melanin are naturally occurring pigments that give our hair and skin colour. The more the melanin, the deeper the colour. This light energy is attracted to melanin. This is why light based hair removal technologies such as IPL and SHR are able to treat pigmentation, acne and vascular lesions as these conditions are usually darker than your natural skin tone.

Battle of the bright

Not taking shots in the dark

With IPL, it seems to be the more targeted approach. IPL shots are administered precisely like throwing darts. Whereas with SHR, multiple pulses of light are fired over the area to be treated, akin to blindfolding someone, facing a dartboard, and throwing multiple darts in the dark. When compared to SHR, though it may seem quicker for larger areas, the skin may be subjected to unnecessary light and heat energy where hair is not present, which may damage the skin. IPL gives you more control over the situation.
