How does the energy level of SHR compare to conventional IPL and what is the resulting benefit? Safer, Deeper Results


SHR technology utilizes significantly lower light energy compared to conventional Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems. Paradoxically, this lower energy setting allows target tissues within the skin layers to absorb a higher cumulative amount of energy, improving treatment outcomes while sparing the surface of the skin.

Core Takeaway: By reducing the intensity of individual light pulses, SHR allows for safer energy delivery. This approach ensures that pathological tissues absorb sufficient energy for removal without causing thermal damage to the surrounding epidermis.

How Lower Energy Improves Efficacy

The Energy Differential

SHR operates at a markedly lower light energy level than traditional IPL methods.

Where conventional IPL often relies on high-intensity spikes of power, SHR maintains a more moderate output.

Bypassing the Epidermis

The primary risk with high-energy light therapy is thermal damage to the outer skin layer, known as the epidermis.

SHR’s lower energy threshold prevents the epidermis from absorbing dangerous levels of heat.

This reduction in surface trauma is critical for patient safety and comfort.

Maximizing Deep Tissue Absorption

Because the surface is spared, the energy can interact more effectively with the deeper layers.

Pathological tissues located in the corium and epidermis—specifically pigment and vascular issues—are able to absorb more total energy.

This increased absorption leads to the effective destruction and removal of these target tissues.

Understanding the Trade-offs

The Balance of Intensity

While lower energy offers a safety advantage, it fundamentally changes the mechanism of treatment.

The system does not rely on a single, aggressive "blast" of energy to destroy targets instantly.

Instead, the efficacy depends entirely on the tissue's ability to absorb the delivered energy over the treatment duration.

Making the Right Choice for Your Goal

Understanding the relationship between energy levels and tissue absorption is key to optimizing results.

  • If your primary focus is patient safety: SHR minimizes the risk of surface burns and epidermal injury by keeping light energy levels low.
  • If your primary focus is deep tissue treatment: The technology allows for greater energy absorption in the corium, making it highly effective for removing stubborn vascular and pigmented lesions.

This distinct energy profile makes SHR a precise tool for treating pathological tissues without compromising skin integrity.

Summary Table:

Feature Conventional IPL SHR Technology
Energy Intensity High-intensity spikes Lower, controlled energy
Epidermal Risk High risk of thermal damage Minimal risk of surface burns
Energy Absorption Surface-heavy absorption Deep cumulative absorption
Patient Comfort Often painful/hot Comfortable & safe
Target Area Superficial layers Corium & deep epidermis
