E-light IPL vs SHR IPL
The verdict
Both cost £4,800 ex. VAT. Choose SHR IPL if hair reduction is the priority — in-motion low-fluence passes are more comfortable and more forgiving on darker skin. Choose E-light IPL with RF if skin rejuvenation and pigmentation are as commercially important as hair.

Choose the first
Your menu leans towards skin: rejuvenation, tightening and pigmentation with hair reduction alongside.
Choose the second
Hair reduction is the main sell. In-motion SHR is more comfortable, which shows up as better course completion.
Neither of these? If you need Fitzpatrick V–VI coverage, neither platform is right — specify 1064nm.
