THE TRIA PERSONAL LASER HAIR REMOVAL SYSTEM, from TRIA Beauty, uses the same technology dermatologists use to remove hair. Invented by the same person who created the earliest in-office hair removal lasers, the TRIA is safe and approved by the FDA for at-home use. The TRIA puts out about half the energy of a professional laser, has three energy levels and targets multiple hair follicles at a time. TREATMENT REGIMEN: Six to eight treatments per month to treat an entire cycle of hair growth. RESULTS: About 60% less hair in about four months' time; occasional spot treatment may be needed. MANUFACTURER WARNING: The TRIA is not for everyone. It does not work on grey, red or lighter hair shades. Darker skin can be damaged by the laser. Nor is it completely painless; some describe it as feeling like static electricity. |
