What is SHR Laser Hair Removal?
SHR (Super Hair Removal) is an advanced laser hair removal treatment that reduces unwanted hair on the face and body. Instead of delivering one intense pulse at a time, the handpiece glides continuously over the skin and gradually warms the hair follicle, which many people find more comfortable than traditional laser. Dr. Kristen Blume is proud to offer SHR on the Alma Harmony Pro XL to help patients throughout the Fishers, IN area enjoy smoother skin and less time spent shaving, waxing, and plucking. Using this technology, Dr. Blume can treat a wide range of areas, including the face, underarms, bikini line, legs, arms, and back.
What can I expect from SHR Laser Hair Removal?
Your visit begins with a consultation, where Dr. Blume reviews your goals, health history, medications, and recent sun exposure. Treatment takes just minutes for smaller areas and longer for larger ones, and most people describe a warm sensation as the handpiece glides over the skin. Mild redness or a slightly raised, “goosebump” look around the follicles is common afterward and usually settles within hours to a day. Hair grows in cycles, so a series of sessions is needed for the best results, and packages of 3 or 6 sessions are available. Avoiding sun exposure and tanning, as well as wearing sunscreen on treated areas, helps protect your skin between visits.
What are the benefits of SHR Laser Hair Removal?
- Noticeably less hair growth over time
- Fewer ingrown hairs and less razor irritation
- A more comfortable experience than many traditional lasers
- Less time spent shaving, waxing, and plucking
- Physician-led care from consultation through follow-up
Beauty by Blume Reviews
Dr.Blume is so nice, professional and knowledgeable. She is one of the doctors who know what they are doing! I would give her 10 stars not only 5. She is highly skilled in BOTOX, hair restoration, acne scar treatment, Dysport, chemical peels, and plasma skin resurfacing.
Dr Bloom is wonderful. She spent probably close to an hour taking a medical history of my general health, my skin, and many options that my skin would benefit from. I was there to get Dysport and have a plan for my skin care going forward. She told me what she thought would be the right fit for my skin type.So I used ChatGPT to find Dr Bloom. There were two docs in the Fishers Carmel area but Chat said she was “it’s” pick as she was a master injector and highly rated in her field. I’m so very happy I found her. She is also a lovely person which is a big plus!
Dr Blume is so nice and knowledgeable! She sent me side by side before and after photos that made it very easy to see the differences following my treatment. I highly recommend her!
Dr Blume is the Best! Highly knowledgeable and the sweetest human. Services for all your needs.
I cannot say enough great things about Kristen Blume, MD. I am beyond satisfied with my results. Kristen was so easy to talk to and knew exactly what I wanted just by spending a few moments with me in a consultation. The way she explains procedures in detail, the many services she offers, is just a very small reason I connected with her. I will recommend her and I will continue services with her. Kristen does outstanding work!

Am I a candidate for SHR Laser Hair Removal?
Many people can benefit from SHR laser hair removal. Generally speaking, ideal candidates are adults in good overall health who want to reduce unwanted hair on eligible areas like the face, underarms, bikini line, legs, and back, without the daily upkeep of shaving, waxing, or plucking. SHR is considered safe and effective for a wide range of skin tones and hair types, though results are typically best on darker hair. Certain factors, such as pregnancy, a recent tan, an active skin infection, or photosensitizing medications, may mean treatment is not suitable right now. Once Dr. Blume completes a thorough skin and hair assessment and consultation, she will determine whether SHR or an alternative option is most appropriate for you.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel warmth and mild snapping or tingling. Settings will be adjusted for your comfort.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies by area, hair type, and hormones. Dr. Blume will give you an honest estimate at your consultation.
How far apart are SHR sessions?
Sessions are typically spaced about 4 to 8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and how quickly your hair grows. Dr. Blume will create a schedule that fits your goals.
What areas can be treated?
Common areas include the face, underarms, bikini line, legs, arms, and back. Dr. Blume will review any area you are interested in at your consultation.
What should I avoid before treatment?
Sun exposure, tanning, waxing, plucking, and threading should be avoided beforehand. Please also let Dr. Blume know about any new medications or skincare products, especially retinoids or exfoliating acids.

Is it permanent?
Laser reduces hair growth significantly, but Dr. Blume cannot promise complete permanent removal. Occasional maintenance sessions are common.
Can men receive SHR treatments?
Yes. Common areas include the back, shoulders, chest, and neckline.
