Is SHR hair removal painful?
Absolutely not. Super Hair Removal (SHR) at Wellaholic uses low-energy, high-frequency laser pulses with “accumulative heat” technology, making it virtually pain-free. Unlike waxing, clients describe the sensation as soothing, even for sensitive areas like the Brazilian. Wellaholic has delivered over 200,000 successful treatments in Singapore.
Introduction
If you are still bracing yourself for the monthly “rip and scream” ritual of a Brazilian wax, it is time to rethink your strategy. While waxing has been a staple in Singapore’s grooming scene for decades, 2026 marks the tipping point where technology officially outpaces tradition.
The shift is undeniable. More Singaporeans are abandoning the temporary smoothness of waxing for Super Hair Removal (SHR)—a method that promises permanence without the pain. Why endure the sting of hot wax when you can achieve lasting results for roughly the same monthly investment? Here is why swapping your waxing appointment for an SHR session at Wellaholic is the smartest beauty upgrade you will make this year.
The defining shift in 2026 isn’t just about hair removal; it’s about skin health. We are seeing a 40% drop in clients requesting waxing because they realize SHR eliminates the trauma of ingrown hairs and skin lifting associated with traditional waxing methods.
The Waxing Trap: Why It’s Costing You More Than Money
Traditional waxing operates on a cycle of dependency. To get a smooth finish, you must first let the hair grow out (the awkward “stubble phase”), only to have it ripped out by the root.
While the immediate result is smooth skin, the collateral damage is significant:
- The Ingrown Hair Cycle: Waxing often breaks hairs below the surface, causing them to curl back into the skin.
- Skin Trauma: The pulling action can cause micro-tears, redness, and in the Singapore heat, potential folliculitis.
- The “Forever” Cost: Waxing never stops. You will pay for it every 4 weeks for the rest of your life, with zero permanent reduction.
Deep Dive: SHR vs. Waxing Comparison
SHR (Super Hair Removal) uses low-energy, high-frequency laser pulses to target both the melanin in the hair and the stem cells responsible for hair growth. It is “in-motion” technology, meaning the applicator glides over the skin rather than stomping on it.
Here is how the two stack up in a direct head-to-head:
| Feature | Traditional Brazilian Waxing | SHR Brazilian (Wellaholic) |
| Pain Level | High (Immediate sharp pain) | Minimal (Warm sensation) |
| Permanence | 0% (Hair always grows back) | 80–95% Permanent Reduction |
| Ingrown Risk | High (Common side effect) | Eliminates existing ingrowns |
| Speed | 30–45 Minutes | 15–20 Minutes |
| Suitability | All hair types, but painful | All skin tones & hair types |
| Cost over 5 Years | High (Recurring forever) | Low (Maintenance only later) |
The Process: What to Expect with SHR
If you are used to the waxing salon environment, the SHR experience will feel surprisingly relaxed.
- Preparation: The area is shaved beforehand (either by you or the therapist), so no “growth” is needed.
- The Treatment: The therapist glides the SHR handpiece over the skin. You feel a gentle warmth, similar to a hot stone massage, rather than a snap.
- The Aftermath: No sticky residue. You can head straight to the gym or a date immediately after.
Expert Insert: “One of the biggest misconceptions we tackle is the fear of laser pain. Because SHR uses ‘accumulative heat’ rather than a single high-energy blast like old-school IPL, our customers often describe the sensation as soothing. It is a game-changer for sensitive areas like the Brazilian.”
