TRIA Laser Hair Removal System

The Science behind TRIA

TRIA Beauty didn’t simply miniaturize laser hair removal technology—its founders helped invent and improve it.

TRIA Beauty’s team of scientists revolutionized the hair removal industry in 1993, with the invention of the first diode laser designed for in-office hair removal. Used by physicians worldwide, the LightSheer diode laser is considered the gold standard for achieving permanent, hair-free results.

Today, using this same technology, the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System is the first and only FDA-cleared laser hair removal system available for use at home. In as few as eight simple treatments, you’ll never have to shave or wax again, with periodic maintenance treatment spaced six months to a year apart.

No more inconvenient appointments. No more endless waxing and shaving. Wake up to silky smooth skin every day and wear what you like, when you like. With the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System, it’s all about privacy and being hair-free on your own terms, in your own home. You set the schedule and let the TRIA System do the rest!

How to Use the TRIA

The TRIA treatment process only involves five simple steps. It’s truly a “point and shoot” device.

GET READY
Cleanse, shave, and towel-dry the skin.

CHECK SKIN TONE
Apply the TRIA skin sensor (included) firmly against your skin in the area you plan to treat, then press the blue button until the light turns green.

GET COMFORTABLE
Select the highest setting that suits your personal comfort level by pressing the blue button once for Level 1 (low), twice for Level 2 (low-medium), three times for Level 3 (medium), four times for Level 4 (medium-high), and five times for Level 5 (high).

APPLY AND OVERLAP LASER TREATMENT
Apply the tip of the laser to the skin. Wait for the beep, then reapply by slightly overlapping the previous area. Repeat until you have covered the entire section you wish to treat.

REPEAT
Once every other week for the first three months.
Once per month for the next five months.

Is it right for you?

The TRIA System is for people with light to medium skin tones and dark hair. Each TRIA System comes with a skin sensor so you can test your skin prior to treatment.

What to expect

What does it feel like?
The sensation is similar to the feeling of a warm rubber band being snapped against the skin.

Does it hurt?
Everyone is different, but it’s important to note that a mild to moderate amount of discomfort is actually a good thing. This means you are getting the best possible results! If you do not feel anything during treatment, turn the comfort level up a notch until you do.

After 1 month:
There will be no visible change to the hair or the appearance of the skin. Be patient—the results are worth the wait!

After 2 months:
Results. The hair will begin to lighten and become finer.

After 3 months:
Progressive results. You will begin to see a visible reduction in the amount of regrowth.

After 8 months:
Results
Hair follicles that have been disabled by the TRIA System will not grow back. Simply continue to use the TRIA System until the skin is completely smooth and hair-free and then, you’re done. Some maintenance may be required, usually at six month to one year intervals.

How many treatments are required?
Dark, coarse hair: Approximately 6-8 treatments.
Brown, fine to medium hair: Approximately 8-12 treatments.

Cost Comparison

Based on national averages, professional hair removal on the legs, underarms, and bikini line can cost as much as $10,000 for a complete course of treatments.
The TRIA system delivers the long-lasting results for $595.
