Study Notes

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Super Hair Removal (SHR) for Hair Reduction: Key Facts and Information

IPL and SHR hair reduction treatments are safe and relatively pain-free.
Treatments are typically done 4-6 weeks apart for best results.
IPL and laser hair removal can result in up to 90% lasting hair reduction, but occasional "top-up" treatments may be needed to maintain results.
Hair growth occurs in stages: anagen (growing phase), catagen (transition phase), and telogen (resting phase).
IPL targets hair by using light that is absorbed by the hair shaft and produces heat, which destroys the hair follicle.
Hair can only be successfully treated in the anagen phase, so treatments need to be spaced 4-8 weeks apart to target the hair in this phase.
After treatment, the hair follicles will be destroyed, and the hairs will shed out over a few weeks.
There is minimal skin reaction following IPL and SHR treatments, with mild erythema and peri-follicular edema being the typical clinical endpoints.
Excessive hair growth can be caused by factors such as medication, hereditary factors, hormones, stress, disease, and blood supply.
SHR is a breakthrough in semi-permanent hair reduction, using a longer heating process and low energy to heat the hair follicles and melanin in the tissue.
SHR technology gently transports energy through the skin and melanin to the hair follicles, making it more effective for hair reduction.
Treatment guidelines for SHR include marking the area, applying gel, performing multiple passes, and adjusting energy levels as needed. Different areas of the body may require different filter settings and treatment intervals.
