Permanent hair removal
with SHR light treatment or alexandrite diode laser
Permanent hair removal on the face, legs, intimate area or bikini line!
Permanent hair removal using SHR (Super Hair Removal) or alexandrite laser promises flawlessly smooth and soft skin: completely hair-free - and without having to constantly worry about when the first hair stubble will grow back, as is the case with waxing after just a few weeks. You will never have to shave, epilate or depilate again. A true dream - which we are happy to realise for you in our Venus Beauty beauty studios!
The SHR light treatment
The high-tech ‘Super Hair Removal’ application combines the best of laser and pulsed light technology (Intense Pulsed Light; IPL). The new technology for permanent hair reduction is less painful and fewer sessions are required than with previous comparable methods. Depending on the area of application, 6 to 12 sessions at intervals of 3 to 4 weeks are sufficient - the exact number of sessions required to achieve complete permanent hair removal depends on the area of the body in question and the individual hair and skin type.
- The SHR procedure is suitable for all hair types and hair colours, from the fine hairs of the facial fuzz - including blonde, red and grey hairs, which were previously difficult to treat due to their low pigment content - to the thickest body hair.
- The method is therefore also effective for the permanent removal of body hair in men, for example on the back, shoulders, armpits, stomach or chest.
- The skin-friendly procedure is also particularly suitable for people who are often prone to skin irritation, rashes or inflammation caused by overgrown hairs after shaving or waxing.
During SHR epilation, high-energy light is absorbed by the melanin pigments, which are responsible for the colour of our skin and hair, directed into the hair roots and converted into sufficient heat to denature the proteins in the hair cells. As a result, the hair roots become desolate and the hair simply falls out within 14 days. The hair can no longer grow back, which leads to permanent hair reduction. However, only the hairs that are in an active growth phase are removed. Therefore, several sessions at intervals are required to successfully treat all hair roots.
- In contrast to laser hair removal, unfocussed light is used instead of directed light. This means that even larger areas of the body can be treated comparatively quickly and easily, which significantly reduces the time required per session.
- In contrast to the IPL procedure, SHR hair removal also works with lower energy (heating to 45°C instead of 60-70°C), which is gentler on the skin, even less painful and also reduces the risk of burns. The feeling during an SHR treatment is therefore comparable to a pleasant sunbath. The high infrared components of the light are also filtered out, which prevents the skin from heating up too much.

- For permanent hair removal until the end of your life, a SHR refresher treatment every few years is sufficient.
The cost of permanent hair removal using the SHR method depends on the time required. The larger the body area to be treated, the greater the effort and therefore the price. As the purchase costs for the equipment are also significantly higher than for classic waxing, for example, the SHR treatment costs per session are also somewhat higher. However, because the results last for years, the overall price is relativised to a clear cost-benefit advantage.

Procedure for permanent hair removal using SHR light technology
First of all, one of our hair removal specialists will enquire about your current health situation and explain the treatment details to you. Only then will we start removing annoying hair from your face and body: quickly, inexpensively and painlessly. After a certain amount of time, you will only feel a little warmth - after all, during the SHR treatment, the light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and converted into heat to permanently immobilise the hair roots. However, as only around 20-30% of the hair is in the necessary growth phase to be effectively cauterised, several sessions are always necessary to ultimately reach all the hair and thus achieve truly permanent hair removal.
Before treatment: What you need to consider before SHR hair removal
- Please shave the day before
- Do not apply body lotion on the day of treatment
- Also refrain from using deodorants containing aluminium
- Do not take any medication before the treatment
Contraindications: When permanent hair removal with SHR is not advisable
- Sunburn
- Acute neurodermatitis or psoriasis
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Tattoos or exceptionally dark and large moles must not be lasered
Using an alexandrite diode laser
The alexandrite laser is a technological achievement of the very latest generation. The hair root is hit with high-energy bundled light of a wavelength precisely matched to the absorption maximum in the hair root melanin, without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue. By converting light energy into heat energy, the hair papilla is reliably and permanently destroyed.
- Due to the very precise treatment area of around 1 cm, this laser technology is particularly suitable for the quick, effective and painless removal of individual hairs and smaller areas, such as on the face along the eyebrows, on the upper lip, chin, under the armpits or in the genital area.
- The extraordinary power of this laser system guarantees successful results even with very fine or deep-lying hair. In addition, pigmented skin changes or lesions can also be successfully treated with this hair removal method.
- By the way, alexandrite laser hair removal is also effective for men's hair, which is naturally thicker.

Only then will we start removing annoying hair from your face and body: quickly, inexpensively - and painlessly. You will only feel a little warmth after a certain time - this is because the laser treatment absorbs light from the melanin in the hair roots and converts it into heat, which helps to stop the hair roots.
Before the treatment
- The hair may be shaved or trimmed with scissors before the treatment
- However, the hair must not be epilated or plucked, as the pigmented hair root can be damaged.
- For treatment to be successful, the hair root must be present at the time of laser therapy.
