SHR Hair Removal Explained: What You Need to Know
What is SHR and how does it work?
Super Hair Removal (SHR) is a modern technology that uses gentle pulses of energy to heat the dermis slowly. It targets hair follicles while keeping the skin surface cool and comfortable. Unlike traditional lasers, it works by firing many low-energy shots at a high frequency. This “in-motion” technique ensures that every active follicle is treated effectively without damaging the surrounding skin.
Why is this relevant in Singapore?
Singapore’s humid weather and intense sun can make our skin more sensitive to heat and pigmentation. Standard lasers often carry a higher risk of side effects in tropical climates. SHR is ideal for the local lifestyle because it is safe for all skin types. It allows busy individuals to return to their daily activities immediately without any downtime or skin irritation.
Common myths vs. reality
Many people believe that hormonal hair from PCOS or menopause cannot be treated with light technology. The reality is that SHR effectively manages hirsutism by disabling active follicles over a series of sessions. While hormones may trigger new growth over time, regular treatments keep the skin smooth and hair-free.
Results & Benefits of SHR Hair Removal
Clinical studies show that 80-90% hair reduction is achievable with a full course of professional SHR treatments.
How effective is SHR for long-term results?
SHR technology is highly effective at managing stubborn hair growth caused by hormonal fluctuations like PCOS. In Singapore’s high-stress and humid environment, professional treatments provide a reliable way to stop ingrown hairs. Unlike older lasers, SHR targets the stem cells responsible for hair growth without the discomfort of high-heat pulses.
DIY vs. Professional: What’s the Difference for SHR?
| Factor | Professional (SG Market) | DIY/Home |
|---|---|---|
| Effectiveness | High (80-90%) | Moderate (20-50%) |
| Cost (SGD) | $99 / session (Large Area) | $20 – $80 / month |
| Effort | Expert Handled | Frequent/Self-Applied |
| Frequency | Monthly / Scheduled | Daily / Weekly |
| Longevity | Years / Permanent | Weeks / Short-term |
What should you expect over time?
By week 2, you will notice treated hairs shedding naturally from the skin surface. By month 3, most users see hair growing back significantly thinner and slower than before. After one year, professional treatments provide better value than DIY upkeep, as you only need occasional touch-ups to manage new hormonal growth.
📊 Wellaholic Insight (2025): “Our data shows 95% of customers report visible hair reduction after just 4 sessions, making SHR a top choice for managing hormonal hair in Singapore.”
What to Expect: The SHR Process
How is the diagnosis or assessment done?
In an initial consultation, the therapist examines your skin type, hair colour, and density using a magnifying tool. They ask about your hormonal history, like PCOS or menopause symptoms, to map hormone-sensitive areas. No invasive tests are needed; it is just a quick skin check that fits into a lunch break.
What are the step-by-step stages?
- Prep: Shave the area 24 hours before your visit and avoid sun exposure.
- Session: A cooling gel is applied, and the SHR handpiece glides over the skin for 15–45 minutes.
- Aftercare: Apply soothing aloe and avoid hot showers for 24 hours to prevent irritation.
What is the typical timeline and outcome?
Most customers achieve the best results with 8–12 treatments spaced every 4–6 weeks. This timeline matches the hair growth cycle for maximum reduction. Hair sheds in the first 3 weeks, thins out by month 3, and stays minimal long-term with 2–4 yearly touch-ups.
🏆 Expert Tip (Singapore): “For best results in our humid climate, we recommend spacing sessions 28 days apart to align perfectly with your active hair growth cycles.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is SHR hair removal effective for PCOS-related facial hair?
Yes, SHR is one of the best ways to manage facial hair caused by PCOS hirsutism. It uses gentle light pulses to disable follicles that are over-stimulated by androgens. Our customers see a major drop in hair thickness and growth speed within a few months.
🔵 Targets deep follicles in the chin and neck area
🔵 Safer for the sensitive skin often found with PCOS
🔵 Reduces the need for daily shaving or plucking
🔵 Prevents painful ingrown hairs and skin darkening
🔵 Provides a long-term solution for hormone-driven growth
Can teenagers safely start SHR hair removal during puberty?
Teenagers can safely start SHR hair removal once their hair growth patterns have stabilised during puberty. It is a much gentler alternative to waxing or traditional lasers for young, sensitive skin. We recommend a consultation to ensure the teen is ready for the treatment process.
🔵 Painless technology is ideal for younger customers
🔵 Helps build confidence during sensitive teenage years
🔵 Stops the cycle of skin damage from razors
🔵 Treatment plans are adjusted for pubertal hair types
🔵 Safe and effective for both face and body areas
Why is SHR better than IPL for hormonal hair growth?
SHR is superior to IPL because it uses gradual heating rather than a single high-energy burst. This makes it more effective at reaching deep, stubborn follicles triggered by hormones while protecting the skin. It is much more comfortable for those dealing with the persistent growth seen in menopause.
🔵 Uses a “sliding” motion for full coverage
🔵 Less risk of burns or skin pigmentation issues
🔵 Works effectively on all Singaporean skin tones
🔵 Targets the hair’s stem cells for better reduction
🔵 Faster session times for busy Singapore lifestyles
Will my hair grow back after menopause despite SHR treatment?
While SHR significantly reduces hair, new follicles may activate due to the drop in estrogen during menopause. However, any new hair that grows back will be much finer, lighter, and easier to manage with quick touch-ups. Regular maintenance helps you stay smooth through all life stages.
🔵 Weakens follicles so hair grows back thinner
🔵 Maintenance sessions are quick and affordable
🔵 Effectively manages new chin and upper lip hair
🔵 Keeps skin soft and reduces age-related skin sensitivity
🔵 Long-term results far outlast temporary waxing
