How To Use Tria Laser

Apply Personal Laser Hair Removal System To?Skin

personal laser hair removal, tria c 2009 TRIA Beauty, Inc.

Place the tip of the personal laser hair removal system on your skin and it will ‘beep’, then it will ‘beep’ again almost immediately- letting you know that section is completed. If what should be the second ‘beep’ is a 'buzz', then the laser wasn’t completed on that section of skin, and you'll need to re-do it. Work your way through the area moving horizontally (right or left) by overlapping what you just 'zapped' by ?”.

How To Use Tria Laser

By pressing the large circle button, select which of the five settings you would like to use (Tria originally had three settings, but now has five). The highest setting gives off the most amount of heat for better hair reducing results.

You can always test out the setting to see how it feels and then change it during your treatment if it's uncomfortable or you'd like to take it up a notch.

I tested the device on my bikini line, follow me in my experience including what I thought about the discomfort in Testing Tria: Part I.

Tria Laser Part I

I was very excited to try out Tria laser hair removal and be able to laser at home. The system comes in a white carrying case, with a charger and a skin sensor. Because Tria is a high-tech device, there's an important instructions packet and FAQ included. These are both definite reads to know exactly how to use the system safely and correctly, so I made sure to read them both carefully.

Safety First

After charging the system, you have to activate it. Either by calling 1-877-321-TRIA or by doing so on-line (only once) to ensure you can safely use it. Otherwise Tria will not turn on.

First, I had to make sure my skin was light enough. You place the skin sensor on your skin and then turn it on- if it turns green you're within the right skin tone. If it turns red, your skin is too dark and you can't use it. For good reason, dark skin tones can't use Tria with possibly of getting burned, scarred or blistered. I was sure my skin was well within the skin tone range, and the light did turn green.

Your skin tone is so important that the green sensor is placed on the panel on the front of the Tria to unlock it for use. Although this system is definitely not a toy, it made a special beep when it unlocked. I felt special access with a 'key', like on Star Trek.

A patch test is recommended 24 hours before using, to see if you have any adverse reactions. I tested it on my bikini line, and didn't have any reactions that day or the following.

Using Tria Laser Hair Removal System

I decided to try it on my bikini line, and shaved the area before using as per the instructions. You can't wax or use any other method that pulls out the hair follicle six weeks before using Tria, because the laser needs some hair underneath the skin to target.

You place the system on your skin and it will 'beep', keep holding it there with complete contact with the skin, and then it will 'beep' again- letting you know that section is completed. If what should be the second 'beep' is a 'buzz', then the laser wasn't completed on that section of skin, and you have to re-do it. You then can work your way through the area moving horizontally (right or left) by overlapping what you just 'zapped' by ?". Once you finish horizontally, then you do the same vertically (up and down) so you are less likely to have missed a spot. If you cover the area thoroughly, the company says you will have about 50 beeps per 1 square inch of skin.

It doesn't take an exhausting amount of time, I did my bikini area in about a half hour or so. But if you're impatient and are not holding the Tria down all the way down on the skin and getting 'buzzes' instead of 'beeps', then it will take you a lot longer than necessary. A large area like your legs could be pretty time consuming.

See Tria in action. Watch a step-by-step of how Tria works.

Did It Hurt?

I never had professional laser hair removal, so I didn't know quite what to expect from Tria as far as pain. The bikini area is a bit more sensitive than other parts of the body. I want the best results, so I used the highest setting and the one more likely to feel the burn. (Update: the first Tria laser had three settings, but now has five.) It felt like a small snap, and a bit of heat- but not what I would call pain. However, when I got to the last inch deep into my bikini line, I did turn the setting down one level because it hurt a little.

Does Tria Hair Removal System Work?

After two weeks when first using the system on my bikini line some of the hairs started to come out, and continued to come out for the next week. Some hairs on their own, others with the help of sugar scrub. It was like you could tell the hairs that were going to fall out because they were shorter than the rest. I'm going to continue to use the system every three weeks for a total of six - eight times. The real test is going to be how long the hair stays away, or the thickness of the hair if it does grow back in, so I'll keep you updated.

Read about the results after using Tria three times in part 2 of my Tria review. You can always ask a question about Tria in the hair removal forum.

As is common in the beauty industry, the writer was provided with the Tria for the purpose of reviewing it. The Tria laser was returned back to the company after she completed all of the necessary treatments. While it has not influenced this review, About.com believes in full disclosure of all potential conflicts of interest. For more information, see our ethics policy.

Tria Laser Part II

I'm very excited to give you the results about half way through my laser at home process. I recommend you read all about my first experience in part one of my Tria review, if you haven't done so already.

What Are the Results?

I've done three treatments to my bikini line using the Tria, and have to say I'm very impressed so far. Giving an eyeball estimate, I would say there has been about a 70% reduction in hair where I used the highest setting. (Tria originally had three settings, but now has five). Mostly all hairs making up that 70% hair reduction aren't growing in, very few within that same group have grown back so fine and light that you can't see them, but can feel them a bit when touching the skin.

Where the medium setting was used deeper in my bikini line, I would say the hair reduction is more like 55% - 60%. A lower percentage was expected because the second setting gives off less heat to destroy the hair follicle. I never used the lowest setting anywhere in my bikini line.

Tria Pain Factor

Laser hair removal is supposed to get less uncomfortable the more times you get the treatments because some hairs are already destroyed. Now everyone is different, but that didn't happen with me. All three treatments were the same amount of discomfort. The bikini area is a very sensitive zone, so that may have something to do with it. I wouldn't call the feeling exactly painful, but don't make the same mistake I did and use the laser when you're getting ready for bed. It's not really something you would find relaxing.

Cordless Laser: Convenience or Hassle?

Tria needs to be charged, so it can be used cordless. I did like that when you have to twist and turn the laser to different angles there are no cords getting in the way, and no need to worry about being close to an outlet. The challenge is that you only get about ? hour of time to use the laser, and it needs to be charged again. Re-charging the device takes about two hours, so if you're treating big areas like your legs, the sessions would be cut into many times.

Update! Read about my results after six sessions in: Part III

Tria Laser Basics

Tria laser is a device cleared by the FDA for permanent hair reduction for home use on the legs, bikini line, underarms, feet, arms, hands, chest, and back. It requires multiple treatments to have the best results.

Update. This piece is about the previous Tria Laser models. Read about their updated Tria Laser with a built-in skin sensor.

How Does Tria Laser Work?

A diode laser uses beams of light heat on the follicles to disable them. The latest model has five adjustable settings from low to high (previous models had three). The highest setting uses the most heat, and will give better results.

Who Can Use It?

Those with light skin tones (white, ivory, beige and light brown) can safely use Tria. The system comes with a skin sensor that will test your skin tone and determine if it's light enough to use. Only if your skin passes with a green light, will the laser unlock for use. Scarring, blistering and burning can result if it's used on skin tones that are too dark.

Because this laser is targeting dark pigment, white, gray, blond or red hair will not benefit from using the system. Even if the hair is darkened with color, the hair follicle won't absorb enough laser light to be effective.

Does Tria Laser Hurt?

That depends on a lot of factors, and everyone has their own tolerance to pain/discomfort. You might feel more pain if you have sensitive skin, or very dark or thick hair. Using the highest setting will also produce more heat, and of course, more likely to give you pain or discomfort. The first time using the laser is usually the most uncomfortable, and then subsides with further uses for most people. Read about the pain when I put Tria to the test.

How Effective Is It?

Hair grows in different stages: growing, resting and shedding. Because all of the hair isn't on the same stage at any given time, multiple treatments are needed to get the hair in the growth phase, for the laser to be most effective. So 6-8 treatments are recommended, 2- 4 weeks apart.

Laser hair removal can lead to permanent hair reduction, and on January 11, 2010 the Tria system was FDA cleared for permanent hair reduction. Users of Tria laser reported "70% reduction in the amount of hair after just three treatments. Hair that did grow back was perceived to be finer and lighter," according to the information packet provided by the company that makes Tria.

Where Can I Get Tria Laser?

Aesthetic physician offices, Bergdorf Goodman in New York City, Fred Segal in Santa Monica and select Bliss Spas carry the device. Buy direct on-line or get a complete list of retailers on their store locator page.

How Much Does it Cost?

Initially the price was $995 when released in early 2008. February 24, 2009 a new version replaced the old one boasting a 20% reduction in price at $795, and quicker treatments with the laser firing two times faster. In November 2009 the price dropped to $595. June 9th, 2010 the price dropped to $495. A newly designed model with a built-in skin sensor, digital window, faster treatments and other features was released on March 30, 2011 for $395.

How Long Does it Last?

Tria Beauty Company points out this model (with five settings) is capable of delivering over 200,000 pulses (500 charges with each charge delivering 400 laser pulses) and sufficient for most women to treat their entire body. When it runs out, you would need to buy another device.

Home Laser Hair Removal

At home laser hair removal is also an option over going to a spa or clinic. You can perform the treatments in the privacy of home at your convenience while owning a personal device. Working similarly to the professional treatments, the best candidates are those with light skin and dark hair and require multiple treatments for optimal results.

Although you can save a substantial amount of money over professional treatments, look very carefully into the model before purchasing so you don’t waste your money. And like with any high-tech device, make sure to fully read the instructions and precautions before using.

1. Tria

A cordless rechargeable diode laser cleared by the FDA for use on the neck down, it has three (most recent version now has five) adjustable settings to control the amount of heat. A skin sensor comes in the kit to test your skin tone, and only if you pass with a green light will the Tria unlock for use.

You can read about my experience trying Tria:

2. Silk'n

Although it's not a laser, it used pulsed light, which works similarly to laser hair removal to disable hair growth. Cleared by the FDA also for use on the neck down applying this Home Pulsed Light? (HPL?) technology, or optical energy to disable hair growth. It has five adjustable settings going from low to high and is made by HomeSkinovations. Their newest model Silk'n SensEpil has a built-in skin sensor to check skin tone for safety.

3. Epila

It's a diode laser for home, and the fact that it's cheaper than Silk'n and Tria is appealing. But it's not cleared by the FDA, the guidelines and negative feedback on this product will have you thinking twice before purchasing.

How To Use Tria Laser

For safety reasons you'll need to make sure your skin is within a light to medium skin tone range to use the home laser hair removal device, and for good reason. Burns, blisters or scarring can occur if skin is too dark.

Place the skin sensor firmly against the skin you'll be treating and then press the button. A green light says you're good to go, a red light indicates your skin is too dark in that area. Learn more about how the device works: Tria Profile.

How To Use Tria Laser

Before using, you'll shave the area down so there isn't any hair above the skin's surface. You're better off using a fresh razor and a good shaving cream or gel to get a close shave rather than an electric razor. Otherwise, hair not cut close down will make the laser zaps hurt more than necessary.

When finished, rinse thoroughly and pat skin dry.

Tria Laser Review

Bottom Line

Tria Laser may be a bit painful and pricey, but it definitely worked for my underarm. I'm virtually hair free and I'm going to do more areas.

Pros

  • Works
  • Doesn't cause ingrown hair or razor burn
  • Charges last awhile
  • FDA approved for permanent hair reduction
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Can be painful
  • Need to have a lighter skin tone and dark hair

Description

  • Manufacturer: Tria Beauty
  • Usage: Laser hair removal at home
  • Average price: $495.00
  • Kit includes: Tria Laser, battery charger, skin sensor and instructions for use

Guide Review: Tria Laser Hair Removal System (with five power settings)

So I have completed eight treatments with the Tria Laser on my left underarm and I cannot tell you how excited and thrilled I am with the results!

It Takes Time

I am the type of person who wants to see immediate results. If you're like me, you might be a little frustrated, but please stick with it! I started out slow beginning the process at a power level one and eventually made it to level five. For more information about the beginnings of my venture see part 1 of my Tria Laser Review.

Finally at Power Level Five

When I made it to level five, the highest level, it was a little painful. Since it only takes me about ten minutes to complete one underarm, it's worth every second of the hot rubber band feeling I get with every zap of the laser. I think I could get through the treatment faster, but I wanted to make sure I got every inch so I would have better chances fighting off hair growth!

Virtually Hair Free

After my eight treatments, I seem to be hair free with the exception of a few that I missed. I noticed through the process that my hair began to grow very slow. Normally, I would have to shave daily, but even after the first use I began to notice I would not have to shave as often. Now I can't even see the hair.

I'm Loving...

The great thing about Tria Laser (read profile) is that even though it's expensive, I realize I will be saving money in the long run. No more monthly waxing, no more ingrown hair and no more burning underarm!

Only Two Charges

The other cool thing is that since I started this whole process, I only had to charge the system twice. I was able to travel with the unit so when I was away during the time I needed to complete a treatment, I could do it. I was pleased that I could take it with me and actually show it to people who had questions about it. It was nice to be able to share such a great device that was tangible rather than just talking about it!

Next Up: My Other Underarm and a Leg

I have been so pleased with this hand held laser that I started the other under arm and one leg! I hope to complete the process with some before and after photos to share.

Epila Laser at Home

Epila Laser hair removal is a device sold on the internet that claims the same professional laser results at home. Not being FDA cleared like other models, allowing use on the face and dark skin tones and very negative feedback from people who did purchase are some big alarms for me.

How Does It Work?

This device uses a diode laser to disable hair growth. Like all laser treatments it recommends multiple sessions for the best results.

Alarms:

  • On their website F.A.Q. page is says there are no pre-treatment instructions, and that worries me. In reality, you should avoid any hair removal method that removes the hair follicle from the root like waxing, sugaring or threading for at least six weeks. Otherwise if the hair is gone, the laser will have nothing to target and you won’t get results.

Who Can I Use It and What Areas?

On their questions and answers page, it does say that light skin and dark hair is the best combination for laser hair removal, but then goes on to say that the diode laser may improve treatment results even on the darkest skin types.

While other laser at home devices like Tria and Silk’n are not approved for use on the face, the makers of Epila say you can use in anywhere except the area adjacent to the eye.

Alarms:

  • The diode laser should never be used on dark skin tones because it can result in damage to the skin like blistering or scarring.
  • Using a home laser device on the face can cause serious eye injury and also stimulate facial hair growth on women.

Does Eplia Laser Hurt?

In general, lasers can be likened to a slight sensation of heat, and the device has three adjustable settings: low, medium and high.

Alarms:

  • Their F.A.Q. page says there are not pre-treatment instructions. Most professional laser treatments and both Tria and Silk’n (home laser hair removal devices) require you to shave right before the treatment. If you don't shave and have hair above the skin's surface you will have much more pain than necessary.

How Effective Is It?

Hair grows in different stages: growing, resting and shedding. Because all of the hair isn’t on the same stage at any given time, multiple treatments are needed to get the hair in the growth phase, for the laser to be most effective.

Alarms:

  • I emailed the company and asked them if I could test the product and review it on this website. I got one of those automated reply messages, so I know they received my email. Months went by with no personal response at all. Most companies are more than happy to let you try their product, that is if they stand behind it.
  • Many purchasers responded that they could not get any email response or a refund from of the makers of Epila.
  • Read more Epila comments from users in the forum.
  • Many comments were left in blog posts about Epila.

New Tria Laser System

The new Tria laser is a device cleared by the FDA for home use on the legs, bikini line, underarms, feet, arms, hands, chest, and back. It requires multiple treatments to have the best results.

How Does Tria Laser Work?

A diode laser uses beams of light heat on the follicles to disable them. It has five adjustable settings from low to high. The highest setting (five) uses the most heat and will give better hair reducing results.

Who Can Use It?

Those with light skin tones (white, ivory, beige and light brown) can safely use Tria. The system comes with a built-in skin sensor that will test your skin tone and determine if it's light enough. Only if your skin passes will the laser unlock for use. Scarring, blistering and burning can result if it's used on skin tones that are too dark.

Because this laser is targeting dark pigment, white, gray, blond or red hair will not benefit from using the system. Even if the hair is darkened with color, the hair follicle won't absorb enough laser light to be effective.

What are Some Changes to this New Model?

  • Built-in skin sensor. On the previous models there was a separate sensor to check skin tone and used to unlock the unit. Now it's automatic.
  • Digital display. The window displays the five power settings, battery charge, skin sensor indicator, and if the device is locked or unlocked.
  • New design. Sleeker with a slim handle and new angled tip to make the device easier to handle and be able to see where you're placing the laser with more accuracy.
  • Faster treatments, treatment time and charges. Depending on the level used there's up to a 50% faster treatment time with each charge. The battery recharge is now 30% faster. And also with each charge there's 20% more treatment time.
  • Two treatment methods. The new Tria Laser can be applied on the skin like the previous model by placing and lifting it. An alternate way is by gliding the laser tip.

Does Tria Laser Hurt?

That depends on a lot of factors, and everyone has their own tolerance to pain/discomfort. You might feel more pain if you have sensitive skin, or very dark or thick hair. Using the highest setting will also produce more heat, and of course, more likely to give you pain or discomfort. The first time using the laser is usually the most uncomfortable and then subsides with further uses for most people. Read about the pain when I put Tria to the test.

How Effective Is It?

Hair grows in different stages: growing, resting and shedding. Because all of the hair isn't on the same stage at any given time, multiple treatments are needed to get the hair in the growth phase for the laser to be most effective. Bi-weekly treatments for at least 6 months (12 treatments) are recommended.

Users of Tria laser reported "70% reduction in the amount of hair after just three treatments. Hair that did grow back was perceived to be finer and lighter," according to the information packet provided by the company that makes Tria.

Where Can I Get Tria Laser?

Aesthetic physician offices, Bergdorf Goodman in New York City, Fred Segal in Santa Monica and select Bliss Spas carry the device. Buy direct on-line or get a complete list of retailers on their store locator page.

How Much Does it Cost?

This newly designed model with a built-in skin sensor, digital window and faster treatments was released on March 30, 2011 and retails for $395.

How Long Does it Last?

Tria Beauty Company points out that its latest model (with the built-in skin sensor) is capable of delivering up to 90,000 pulses. When it runs out, you would need to buy another device.

Laser Hair Removal Chin Hair

Question: Do You Recommend Laser Hair Removal for Chin Hair on Women?

Answer: To give you a basic overview, laser is FDA approved for permanent hair reduction and uses pulsed light to disable the hair follicle. The best candidates are those with skin tones on the lighter side and dark hair, because the light targets the pigment (color in the hair). That is why it's not safe for people that have dark skin because it can cause scarring and blistering with the majority of the lasers on the market.

As you can see for safety reasons, it's not for everyone. Beyond that, here are some other things to consider.

What You Need to Know About Laser Hair Removal on Chin Hair

  • Even though the hair on your head might be naturally dark, your facial hair always isn't. With the most commonly used lasers, it won't work well in reducing light chin hair. It's a better option for women who have dark hair on their chin.
  • Another issue is that laser and IPL (intense pulsed light) may stimulate hidden facial hair to grow in women. This doesn't mean that it will, just that it has and it can.
  • It can be pricey. Multiple treatments are needed, so it's not cheap venture once it's said and done.

What About at Home?

Tria laser, an at-home device can be used on the majority of the body, but not the face. However another product for home, Silk'n SensEpil, that uses IPL (intense pulsed light) can be used on the face from the cheekline down.
