Wellaholic Research: Comparing SHR Laser Hair Removal with Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal

Wellaholic conducts in-house research on hair removal as part of our efforts to keep current with the latest hair removal technologies and trends. We also examine case studies, research reports from various dermatological journals and medical journals. This helps us to improve our hair removal treatments to improve efficacy, safety as well as comfort for Wellaholic’s customers who choose us as their hair removal service provider.

In this 2016 comparative study by S. Hammes, H.M. Ockenfels, H. R. Metelmann, C. Raulin and S. Karsai, (in German), a controlled study with 18 patients were conducted to compare the effect of laser hair removal between long-pulsed alexandrite laser and the long-pulsed diode laser in SHR (or Super Hair Removal) mode. The findings concluded that SHR hair removal, while proficient for all skin types, was additionally effective in dark skin types while offering less or no pain to its patients.

Background of Research

Photoepilation, or the use of light to remove unwanted hair, has been a crucial application of dermatologic laser therapy for many years. This method has proven to be effective in reducing hair growth, providing a long-term solution for individuals seeking to eliminate the need for temporary hair removal methods.

Recently, there has been interest in evaluating the effectiveness of a new operation mode of a long-pulsed diode laser for photoepilation. This new approach aims to provide a nearly painless treatment experience, with minimal side effects, and is designed to be effective regardless of the skin type of the individual undergoing treatment.

To assess the potential benefits of this new laser operation mode, it has been compared to an established method of photoepilation. This comparison aims to determine whether the new approach can deliver the same, if not better, results in terms of hair reduction, while also improving the overall treatment experience for the patient.

In essence, the goal of this evaluation is to advance the field of photoepilation by introducing a potentially more effective and comfortable treatment method. If successful, this could revolutionize the way individuals approach hair removal, making it a more pleasant and hassle-free experience.

Material and methods

In a meticulously controlled prospective study, a group of 18 individuals, consisting of 12 females and 6 males, were selected as participants. These individuals ranged in age from 22 to 58 years, representing a broad spectrum of adults. The study was designed to compare the effects of two different types of photoepilation methods.

The first method utilized a long-pulsed alexandrite laser, a well-established tool in the field of photoepilation. The second method involved the use of a long-pulsed diode laser, but with a twist. This laser was operated in what is known as the Super Hair Removal mode, or SHR for short.

The goal of the study was to directly compare these two methods in a real-world setting, with actual patients. By doing so, the researchers aimed to gain valuable insights into the effectiveness of these two methods, and potentially identify a superior approach to photoepilation. The results of this study could have significant implications for the field of dermatologic laser therapy, potentially leading to more effective and comfortable treatments for patients seeking to reduce unwanted hair.

Result of Study

The study found that the alexandrite laser and the Super Hair Removal (SHR) mode of the long-pulsed diode laser each have their unique advantages, depending on the skin type and the user’s comfort.

The alexandrite laser showed slightly higher effectiveness when used on fair skin types. This could be due to the laser’s specific wavelength, which may be more readily absorbed by the hair follicles in lighter skin, leading to more effective hair reduction.

On the other hand, the SHR mode was found to be clearly more effective with dark skin types. This could be attributed to the SHR mode’s ability to deliver lower energy levels over a greater number of pulses, which might be more suitable for darker skin types that absorb more light energy.

In terms of comfort during the procedure, the SHR mode was deemed clearly superior. This is likely because the SHR mode uses lower energy levels delivered at a faster repetition rate, which can result in a more comfortable treatment experience.

When it comes to the speed of the treatment, both systems were found to be comparable. This suggests that both methods can deliver efficient treatments within a similar timeframe.

However, in terms of user-friendliness, the alexandrite laser was favored due to its light and small handpiece. This could make the device easier to handle and maneuver during treatments, potentially leading to a more seamless treatment process.

Conclusion

The major advantages of the SHR mode are its effectiveness in dark skin types and its lack of pain. The alexandrite laser is slightly more effective with fair skin types, slightly faster and its handling is considerably more comfortable. None of the two systems has yet brought about a breakthrough with fair hair.
