TRIA Laser Hair Removal System
Still on the fence…
As promised, I’m trying another laser hair removal system. I tried it for the first time 3 days ago and I’m still waiting for the hair to fall out (they say about a week). So in the meantime let me tell you a little bit about this instrument – it’s heavy… I mean 5 pound heavy. I guess you can look at that with the glass half full attitude and figure you’ll get some good arm muscles going as a benefit from using this machine. It has 3 heat settings – low, medium and high (makes sense). I’m pretty tough when it comes to taking laser pain and I have to say that when I used it at it’s highest setting, I did jump a little from the intensity. That makes me happy because I know it’s not low voltage… turn it up – the higher the better to fry the follicles, but only if you can stand it. The downside is that the power dies very fast… very, very fast, and it doesn’t allow for use while it’s plugged in. That stinks. So you can do half an arm – then charge it – 1/4 of a leg – charge it. Other than that it’s a smooth and easy application just a little tricky to unlock. Now we just have to wait for the results. I’ll keep you posted and let you know in a few days if it’s working.
UPDATE!! March 29, 2009
Sorry… it just doesn’t cut it- or laser it. I’ve tried it a few times now over the same areas and it’s just not working. At this point I would rather spend the $800 on 8 treatments at a professional laser clinic.
The TRIA System is the first FDA-cleared laser hair removal device available that delivers safe, professional results in the privacy of your own home.
That was really a sad fact that you have spend your money for nothing. It seems that the product didn’t give an effective results on your skin. trying the product is good, in order that you will going to know the results so that you can choose now the best treatment that would fit for you.
Hi Denise.
I’ve had laser hair removal done by a professional in the past. This product was just too much for too little of a result, and I don’t mean financially, it’s cumbersome.
