Transcend – Super Hair Reduction (SHR)
How It Works
Experience the latest generation of hair reduction technology with Transcend SHR.
Unlike traditional IPL systems that deliver a single high-intensity pulse, SHR uses a rapid motion technique that gradually heats the hair follicle using multiple low-energy pulses. This allows energy to build safely within the follicle while keeping the skin comfortable and protected.
Transcend SHR is suitable for a wider range of skin types and tones, making it one of the safest and most comfortable hair reduction treatments available.
Our Transcend SHR treatment offers:
- Comfortable treatments with minimal discomfort.
- Faster treatment times compared to traditional IPL.
- Suitable for most skin types and Fitzpatrick skin classifications.
- Reduced risk of burns, striping and uneven treatment results.
- Effective treatment for both fine and coarse hair.
- Treatment of larger body areas quickly and efficiently.

The advanced Transcend SHR system targets the hair follicle during its active growth phase. The controlled delivery of energy damages the follicle’s ability to produce new hair while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
Over a course of treatments, clients experience:
- Reduced hair growth
- Finer, softer regrowth
- Fewer ingrown hairs
- Smoother skin texture
- Long-term hair reduction
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are required to effectively target follicles during their active growth stage.

How often can you have SHR?
Hair reduction treatments are performed as a series to achieve the best possible results.
Face
- Every 4 weeks
Body
- Every 6 weeks
Most clients require:
- 4-12 treatments for optimal long-term hair reduction.
- Maintenance treatments as required, depending on hormonal influences and individual hair growth patterns.
- Your Skin Spa Therapist will assess your hair growth, skin type and treatment area to create a personalised treatment plan.
How do I prepare for SHR?
Avoid Sun Exposure
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
- Tanned skin increases the risk of skin sensitivity and may reduce treatment effectiveness.
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or higher daily.
Stop Using Tanning Products
- Discontinue self-tanning lotions and spray tans at least 7-10 days before your appointment.
Shave the Treatment Area
- The treatment area should be shaved 24 hours prior to your appointment.
- Hair should not be waxed, plucked, threaded or epilated for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment, as the follicle must remain intact for SHR to be effective.
Avoid Photosensitising Medications
- Please inform your therapist of any medications you are taking, as some medications may increase light sensitivity.
Keep Skin Healthy
- Ensure the treatment area is clean and free from irritation, active infections, open wounds or severe dryness.

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT, WHAT TO EXPECT?
Immediate Post-Treatment (First 24-48 Hours)
It is normal to experience:
- Mild redness around the hair follicles.
- Slight warmth similar to a mild sunburn.
- Temporary sensitivity in the treated area.
These effects generally resolve within a few hours to 48 hours.
Following Weeks
- Hair may appear to continue growing initially.
- Treated hairs will gradually shed from the follicle over 1-3 weeks.
- Hair regrowth becomes finer, lighter and less dense with each treatment.
- Areas of previously dense growth become progressively smoother.
Long-Term Results
As treatment progresses, fewer follicles are able to produce hair.
Most clients notice a significant reduction in hair growth after a series of treatments, with ongoing improvement throughout the course.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on hormonal influences and individual hair growth patterns.
