SHR Laser Hair Removal is highly versatile, capable of treating virtually every part of the body from the mid-brow down to the toes. It effectively covers facial zones like the lip and chin, extensive areas like the full back and legs, and sensitive regions including the underarms, areolas, and the bikini line.
Core Takeaway SHR (Super Hair Removal) technology allows for comprehensive treatment across large and small surface areas by gradually heating hair follicles. While it covers the vast majority of the anatomy, specific intimate areas (Inner/Outer Bikini) are often restricted to female clients only, and safety protocols strictly prohibit treating the eyelids or over tattooed skin.
Facial Treatment Zones
Precision Areas
SHR is effective for small, delicate areas of the face where precision is required.
Specific Facial Options
Commonly treated areas include the Upper Lip, Chin, and Sideburns.
Upper Face Limits
Treatments can address the Mid-brow area (the space between the eyebrows). However, for safety reasons, the forehead and areas immediately surrounding the eyes are generally excluded.
Upper Body and Torso
The Neck and Shoulders
Treatment is available for both the Front Neck and Back Neck, ensuring a clean hairline.
Arms and Hands
You can opt for a Full Arm treatment (which includes the hands) or target specific sections. Options include Lower Arms (excluding hands) or Upper Arms.
Hands and Fingers
Dedicated treatments are available specifically for the Hands, ensuring coverage for fingers and knuckles.
The Torso
Frontal torso treatments cover the Chest, Stomach, and the Snail Trail (the line of hair extending from the navel). Sensitive areas such as the Areola can also be safely treated.
The Back
Back treatments are highly customizable. You can choose Upper Back, Lower Back, or a Full Back treatment, which typically includes the back of the neck.
Lower Body and Legs
Leg Treatments
Leg treatments are segmented to fit your needs. You can treat Full Legs (which includes knees and feet) or split the area into Upper Legs or Lower Legs (excluding knees and feet).
Knees and Feet
If you do not require full leg coverage, specific treatments for just the Knees or Feet are available.
Buttocks
SHR can treat the Outer Buttocks as well as the Inner Buttocks.
Intimate and Bikini Areas
Bikini Options
Treatments are available for the Outer Bikini Line and Inner Bikini styles, such as Brazilian or G-String.
Gender Restrictions
According to the primary protocols, Inner and Outer Bikini treatments are currently available for females only.
Critical Safety Exclusions and Trade-offs
The Danger Zone: Eyelids
Laser hair removal must never be performed on the eyelids or the immediate surrounding area. The risk of ocular injury from the laser light is too high.
Tattoos and Ink
You cannot treat skin that has been tattooed. The laser is attracted to the pigment in the ink, which can cause severe burns and destroy the tattoo.
Hair Pigment Requirements
While SHR is safer for darker skin tones than traditional laser, it still requires melanin in the hair follicle to work. It is generally not effective on blonde, grey, white, or red hair.
Making the Right Choice for Your Goal
To ensure the best results, match your treatment plan to your specific physiological needs:
- If your primary focus is Convenience: Opt for combined packages like "Full Chest & Stomach" or "Full Legs" to treat large surface areas in a single session.
- If your primary focus is Safety: Ensure you avoid treating areas with tattoos or "fake tan," and confirm you have not used waxing or plucking methods for at least 3 weeks prior.
- If your primary focus is Facial Hair: Limit treatment to the mid-brow, lip, and chin, strictly avoiding the delicate skin around the eyes.
SHR offers a comprehensive solution for body hair reduction, provided the hair has pigment and the skin is free of tattoos and artificial tans.
