SSR AND SHR Technology Explained

SSR (Super skin rejuvenation) and SHR (Super hair reduction) technology uses a pulsating light technology, applied in a single gliding motion across the skin surface. This provides a more even coverage of the treatment area and the lower thermal output provides a more pleasant and comfortable treatment for the client. SSR can treat skin conditions such as: pigmentation, sun damage, uneven skin tone, fine lines, freckles, age spots, broken veins, capillaries and helps to smooth the skin. SHR targets hair and provides a superior hair removal treatment. SHR works on hairs that have previously been difficult to treat. In-Motion technology provides a faster treatment time with faster long-term results.

Super Skin Rejuvenation (SSR)


o    During this procedure, an intense beam of light energy is directed into the affected area.

  • Longer wavelengths of light penetrate deeper into the skin.

o    The photon energy emitted by the IPL Light penetrates the subcutaneous layers and is absorbed by the collagen and converted to heat energy.

o    This results in selective thermolysis of the collagen resulting in the heating and contraction of the collagen bundles.

o    A photochemical reaction occurs, with the formation of Oxygen Peroxide in the mitochondria and ROS (Radical Oxygen Singlet) inside and outside the cells.

o    Low amounts of ROS clean both cells and tissue thus increasing their activity.

o    High amounts of ROS are toxic and kill the cells (for instance the old fibroblast), thus stimulating the micro-drainage of the damaged old tissue and the deposition of new tissue.

o    This causes a biological stimulation, regeneration and realignment of the collagen and elastin fibres.

  • This biological stimulation results in the regeneration and realignment of the collagen and elastin fibres.

o    This helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve the skin’s elasticity and shrink the pore size.

Super Hair Reduction (SHR)


  • The principle of HR is based on selective thermolysis.
  • There is an abundance of melanin in the hair follicle.
  • During the HR treatment the IPL emits photon energy, which is absorbed by the melanin without harming the epidermis.  
  • The photon energy is converted to heat energy, which causes the temperature of the hair follicle to rise.
  • This heat causes permanent damage to the hair follicle and the blood vessels supplying the hair follicle.
  • In accordance with the theory of Selective Thermolysis and the correct choice of wavelength, pulse width and energy density. SHR selectively targets only the hair follicle melanin without damaging the surrounding tissue.
  • This synergy, specific and exclusive to Intense Pulsed Light, helps to irreversibly disable most of the cells responsible for hair growing.
