Imagine not shaving every day, getting rid of razors, and saying goodbye to painful waxing appointments for good – Now you can with Laser Hair Removal in Portland!
Getting rid of unwanted hair is a never-ending issue that many people have struggled to find a long-term solution for. Our team at Aesthetic Medicine is so excited to now offer Harmony’s SHR hair removal method that uses groundbreaking technology to provide a simple, one-stop solution for truly effective hair reduction & removal.
We utilize SHR technology with the Harmony laser hair removal device. SHR stands for Super Hair Removal, which uses a unique, gradual heating method that effectively damages the hair follicles, preventing them from growing back while protecting the surrounding skin. The device uses a sweeping in motion delivery technique that keeps the laser in constant motion to ensure complete coverage to the area. The simultaneous contact allows cooling, prevents burning, and provides a more comfortable treatment than traditional laser hair removal portland. The specialized applicator allows your provider to treat large areas in less time. Instead of the hair follicles receiving a single pulse of high energy, which can feel painful to the skin, they receive multiple, short, low energy pulses until they obtain enough heat energy to damage the hair follicle.
You can do this treatment if you have light, dark or tanned skin, coarse or fine hair; however, the SHR Hair Removal performs better on darker, thicker hair. Laser’s are photosensitive and are attracted to pigment. The ideal candidate would have dark, coarse hair with lighter skin-though the Harmony LASER is unique in that it treats most skin types. Harmony achieves complete hair removal for all areas of the body that is safe, fast, and, best of all, more painless than traditional laser hair removal devices.
On average, we would recommend 6-10 sessions to see results, but this is dependent on the patient’s genetics, desired results, ethnicity [skin type], hair type [thin vs. coarse] and the area on the body being treated. Treatment time can range from a few seconds for a small area such as the upper lip ranging to 30 minutes for larger body areas.
Hair growth is affected by many factors, including genetics, ethnicity, hormones, etc. The treatment protocol you receive in your 20’s will vary and differ from your treatment recommendations later in life. Patients should note that we may recommend more treatments to obtain desired results, as each area of the body has different growth cycles and treatment protocols. Maintenance will be recommended as needed.
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different; however, the Harmony XL Pro offers SHR in-motion technology, making the procedure virtually painless and very effective. Laser hair removal technology has come a long way and the Harmony SHR technology is practically painless.
Harmony can safely and effectively treat hair on any area of the body, and no site is off limits! The most common areas include:
SHR (Super Hair Removal) is an innovative treatement and is the only clinically proven method of laser hair removal that is virtually painless, making it the safest laser hair removal method for all skin types, including dark and tanned skin.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
