Laser Hair Removal Systems

TRIA Home Laser Hair Removal System

The TRIA Laser Hair Removal System is the first and only FDA-cleared laser hair removal system available that uses the same trusted laser technology as the pros and provides the same lasting results - at home. In as few as eight simple treatments, you'll never have to shave or wax again. End of story.

WHAT TO EXPECT
What it feels like: The sensation is similar to the feeling of a warm rubber band being snapped against the skin. Does it hurt? Some people feel a moderate warming or prickling sensation and some feel no sensation at all. It's important to note that any sensation you may feel will lessen as the hair becomes finer.

After 1 month: There will be no visible change to the hair or the appearance of the skin. Be patient - the results are worth the wait! After 2 months: Results. The hair will begin to lighten and become finer. After 3 months: Progressive results. You will begin to see a visible reduction in the amount of re-growth, especially in areas where hair growth tends to be dense, like the bikini line for women or the back and chest for men. After 8 months:

Lasting results. Hair follicles that have been disabled by the TRIA System will not grow back. Simply continue to use the TRIA System until the skin is completely smooth and hair-free and then, you're done! How many treatments? Dark, coarse hair: Approximately 6-8 treatments. Brown, fine to medium hair: Approximately 8-12 treatments.

The TRIA Laser Hair Removal System is for people with light to medium skin tones and dark hair. Each system comes with a skin sensor so you can test your skin prior to treatment.

Tria Review
5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good, January 1, 2010
By Jen - See all my reviews
First, I have only been using the Tria for about 1 1/2 months. I bought this for my legs and other areas because I have very dark hair that grows at a lightning speed and I also get razor burn with more frequent shaving no matter how much I spend on quality razors and shaving gel.

Anyways, I couldn't afford to get my legs done in a center so after doing a lot of research I decided to invest in a Tria. According to the instructions, you aren't supposed to see any results until at least the second month. To my surprise, I believe I am already seeing results.

The hair seems to be growing in less dense and slower already. However it definitely is no where close to being hair-free yet. Tria instructions do state you wont see visible reduction until after 3 months and that you wont see permanent results until 8 months. So I am happy that after only 1 1/2 months I am noticing some improvement. So far, the pros are the amazingly low cost compared to going to a center (it would be thousands of dollars to get this done at a center) and it seems to be working so far.

It is less painful to me than laser in an office. I immediately started using Tria on the highest setting on my legs. It is moderately painful for me, but for anyone who has done waxing, electrolysis, or laser already, it really isn't that bad. The negative side is that it really is time consuming for large areas like the legs. If you overlap like you're supposed to, it would take 3 charges to do 1 lower leg (sometimes I cheat and get 1 lower leg done in 2 charges). What happens is that after so many pulses the battery needs to be recharged. So because you have to treat the area every other week for the 1st three months, if you do a large area of your body, like the legs, expect to need to stick around home on those weekends and invest a lot of time into doing the Tria.

It really takes the whole weekend plus say monday and tuesday after work to get my full legs and bikini done. However, its not like you're spending this entire amount of time doing tria. It takes about 20-30 minutes for each treatment and then 3 hours in between treatments to charge the battery. The other pro is that it is REALLY easy to use. It is pretty much fool proof.

So far I am impressed, but unfortunately won't know 100% for sure until probably a few more months if the Tria really does provide permanent hair removal. However, because its been recommended by Good Housekeeping and countless other magazines, I am fairly confident that it will be worth it.
