Results & Benefits
Results are not immediate because hair grows in cycles. During a single treatment cycle, some hair follicles will be dormant and cannot be seen (a kind of sleep state) and some will grow and be visible (the growth cycle), so every hair cannot be treated at the same time. To benefit from laser treatment, the hair must be in the growth cycle during treatment (not in the sleep stage). In addition, once the hair follicle is treated and disabled, it continues to work to eject the hair that was under the surface of the skin. This process takes up to 2 weeks to complete, during which time it will appear as if the hair is still growing when it is actually the treated hair being “pushed out” of the follicle.
For optimal results, we recommend a complete treatment course of at least 6 –8 treatments over a 6–8 month period. This timing is based on the average amount of time it takes the majority of the hair follicles to move through an entire growth cycle and be treated. Be patient — the results are worth the wait!
After I complete the entire treatment, will I be 100% hair-free?
Maintaining silky, smooth results requires occasional spot treatment of stray hairs that either were not treated during the initial 6–8 treatments or were dormant during this time.
Why can’t i use the TRIA system if i have medium to dark brown skin?
The TRI A laser is designed to react with the dark pigment of the hair. As a result, dark brown and black skin may absorb too much of the laser’s energy (heat), which can cause skin damage. The TRIA laser’s skin sensor will detect if your skin tone is too dark for safe treatment. If your skin tone is too dark, the TRI A skin sensor will not unlock the TRI A laser.
My hair used to be black, but now it’s gray. Will the TRIA System work for me?
Because TRIA’s laser is activated by darker shades of melanin (color) levels in the hair, lighter hair colors such as light brown; light, medium, or dark blond; red or gray will not absorb enough of the laser’s energy to disable the hair follicle.
Where can the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System be used?
The TRIA Laser Hair Removal System can be used on the legs, underarms, bikini line, back, chest, abdomen, arms, hands, or feet, or anywhere that’s suitable below the neck.
Can I use the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System on my face?
Not at this time. Currently, the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System is not cleared for use on the face, head, ears, or neck, but TRIA Beauty is hard at work on additional research to safely treat these areas — backed by FDA clearance, of course.
Can the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System be used in conjunction with in-office laser hair removal?
Absolutely. The TRIA Laser Hair Removal System can be used in conjunction with professional laser treatments to maintain in-office results.
The TRIA System cannot be used in conjunction with waxing.
How is the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System powered?
The TRIA Laser Hair Removal System is powered with a rechargeable battery pack that’s built right into the device. Simply charge, use, and recharge.
