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

In my years at Wellaholic and before, I’ve seen many hair removal technologies. One topic that often comes up is the difference between Diode Laser with SHR and Alexandrite Laser. I’ve talked to many clients and experts about this. I’ve also looked into research to understand it better.

Diode Laser with SHR is a newer method. It’s gentle and works for different skin types. Alexandrite Laser is powerful and fast. It’s great for lighter skin. Each has its benefits depending on your needs.

In the next part, I’ll share more details on this. I’ll talk about how each method works, who it’s best for, and what to expect. This will help you choose the right option for you.

Background of this Research and Study

In this 2016 comparative study by S. Hammes, H.M. Ockenfels, H. R. Metelmann, C. Raulin, and S. Karsai conducted a controlled study in German with 18 patients. The study compared the effects of two types of laser hair removal: long-pulsed alexandrite laser and long-pulsed diode laser in SHR (Super Hair Removal) mode.

The study showed that SHR hair removal is effective for all skin types and particularly effective for dark skin with less or no pain for patients.

Background of Research

Photoepilation uses lasers to remove unwanted hair. It offers a lasting solution for those tired of temporary hair removal methods.

A new technique with a long-pulsed diode laser is gaining attention. This method promises easier, less painful treatments for all skin types, with fewer side effects.

We compared this new laser technique to traditional light-based hair removal. We wanted to determine if it could be as good as or better than the old method, while also making the treatment experience better.

This comparison aims to refine photoepilation, making it more efficient and comfortable for users. Success here could change how we view hair removal, making it simpler and more enjoyable.

Material and methods

A careful study was done. 18 people were chosen to participate. There were 12 women and 6 men. 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. The researchers wanted to learn which method is better for photoepilation: laser or intense pulsed light. This study’s findings could greatly impact dermatologic laser therapy, making hair removal treatments more effective and comfortable for patients.

Result of Study

The study showed that the alexandrite laser and the long-pulsed diode laser in Super Hair Removal (SHR) mode each have their own benefits. These benefits vary depending on the user’s comfort level and the type of skin.

The alexandrite laser showed slightly higher effectiveness when used on fair skin types. Lighter skin absorbs the laser’s wavelength better, making hair reduction more effective.

On the other hand, the SHR mode was found to be clearly more effective with dark skin types. The SHR mode is better for darker skin types because it delivers lower energy levels over more pulses, which is preferable for skin that absorbs more light energy.

In terms of comfort during the procedure, the SHR mode was deemed clearly superior. SHR mode is more comfortable because it uses lower energy levels delivered at a faster repetition rate.

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 favoured due to its light and small handpiece. This could make the device easier to handle and manoeuvre 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.
