TRIA Hair Removal Laser
The TRIA Hair Removal Laser is the only laser that delivers permanent results at home. Made by the same scientists who created the gold standard for in-office laser hair removal, the TRIA Laser delivers forever-smooth skin liberated from shaving, waxing, stubble, razor burn and ingrown hairs. See less hair growth in 90 days and become hair-free in as little as 6 months (and save time and money versus in-office treatments)!
The primary difference I have found so far is the size of the treatment head. The tria has a very small treatment head (maybe a 1/4 inch circle). This is fine for small areas, but a bit tedious for larger areas. I have been getting laser hair removal at medical spas for years and I am familiar with the technology behind tria. It is a pulsed diode laser (superior to pulsed light i.e. "silk-n"). It does work for hair removal on pale skin and black (or near black) hair. If your hair is not black, it won't work as well. If your skin is not pale, it won't work as well and will be more painful. Dark melanin absorbs near-infrared radiation from the laser and creates heat. This is how Tria works. It flashes near-infrared radiation into your skin, the black hairs absorb the light and heat up, frying the follicle. A rash-type effect means the laser is working (but not everyone experiences the bumps). Little red bumps that form immediately after zapping is normal and they should subside within a few hours. A couple weeks later, the dead hairs shafts fall out (or are easily pulled out with tweezers). The laser diode technology has been in use for years and years and it is effective on black hair/ pale skin. For best results, I use the highest power I can tolerate (not the highest power that is "comfortable"). The highest fluence that the Tria is capable of is 22 with a wavelength of 810nm. This is a fairly low fluence compared to the med-spa quality machines which can go into the 40's, but is somewhat compensated by the small size of the head and the treatment instructions that direct you to overlap the pulses. In my experience, if it is working, it will hurt. You can chase it with an ice pack or use some numbing cream before hand if it is too much for you. Tria is not approved for use on the face by the FDA, but it is the same technology that is being used on the faces of people all over the country (for years). Never laser around your eyes! Eyes contain melanin! I have used Tria *everywhere* (more or less) and am seeing the same results I have gotten from the bigger med-spa machines.
I have black hair and pale skin. I use Tria on 5 power (highest) and the sensation is very similar to what I have experienced with LHR in numerous medical spas. However, I find the Tria more tolerable simply because of the smaller treatment head. Less hairs getting zapped means less pain per zap. This was a pleasant surprise. However, the smaller treatment head means less area covered per treatment. I find it lasts for about 10-15 minutes of use at 5 power. This is enough to do about half of one lower leg. This is okay for me because I prefer doing short sessions in the mornings before I start my day (however, it would be nice to have the option of going longer if I wanted to). Also, ladies, LHR is more painful just prior to and during menstruation. I can do it, but it really isn't worth all the extra pain, so I usually wait until the hormones are stable again before resuming.
For those of you that have never been for laser hair removal in a derm or med spa, it can be a bit of a harrowing experience. The powerful equipment they use is not as fool-proof as the Tria is. The possibility of burns is very real and ensuring that your laser tech has been properly trained can be a bit difficult (there is no training required by law in any state, some states (not most) require that the spa simply must have a "doctor" that has agreed to put his name behind it... and doctors do not get LHR training in med school). Getting a laser tech that is competent, experienced, hygienic and makes you feel comfortable during treatment can be challenging. I have found several good techs over the years, but I would always end up moving out of the area and losing my money, treatments, favorite tech, etc. Having the Tria means I can have LHR anywhere I go and for as long as I want.
A couple points about hair growth and LHR. There really is no such thing as permanent hair removal because hair follicle formation is stimulated by (genetics and) hormones. As long as you have hormones, new hair follicles will continue to form on your body (the location will change depending on which hormones are in control). This is why "permanent hair reduction" is more accurate and more realistic for all forms of LHR.
One last point about LHR (of any kind). The only hairs that are actually killed are the ones that are zapped in the growth phase. Just because a hair falls out doesn't mean the follicle is dead. Getting hairs to fall out and actually killing them are two different things. This is why the repeated treatments are necessary. Not all the hairs you zap are in the "growth phase". You will have to go over the same areas several times over the course of months to eventually catch all of the hairs in their growth phase. And of course, as you are zapping away, it is likely that your hormones are working against you and sprouting new follicles. This is one more reason why I like the Tria as a concept. I anticipate the Tria is going to save me lots of time and lots of money.
If you don't follow the protocol, you won't get satisfactory results. There is no cheating or shortcuts that will cause this device to magically work. Follow the protocol and you will get results.
Improvements I would like to see in future Tria:
-larger treatment head
-longer battery life
-lighter weight
-less "bulk" around treatment tip so it is easier to see exactly where you are zapping
