Tria Laser Review – How to Use

Using the TRIA laser at home hair removal system is surprisingly easy. Once you’ve prepared your skin, unlocked the laser with the TRIA skin sensor, and selected the laser’s energy level, you’re ready to begin.

The TRIA laser will work when the laser window is pressed flat against your skin.  You don’t have to press hard, but all three sides of the triangle around the laser must be touching the skin or it won’t work.  Once the laser window is against your skin, the laser is triggered automatically.  You don’t have to press a button or anything like that to start a pulse.  The hand piece will beep once when when a laser pulse is starting and a few seconds later it will beep again indicating the pulse is complete.  At that point you can move the laser to a new area and repeat. If at any point you hear a buzzing kind of sound, that means the laser isn’t placed properly and the pulse failed.  You must treat the same area again.

When the laser pulses once you’ve placed the hand piece on the skin, the hair follicle is heated up to disable the hair follicle.  This where the discomfort comes in.  A couple of observations…

  • The higher setting the laser is on, the greater the discomfort.
  • Some areas I feel nothing on all five settings.  Other areas I can’t even tolerate Level 1.  There is lots of variation depending on where on your body you are using the TRIA  laser.
  • The closer the shave, the less discomfort.  Shave as close as possible!
  • Do not use the laser over moles, beauty marks, or any other dark spots in your skin.   The laser will heat it up, and OUCH!
  • Keeping my skin cool seems to help with the discomfort.  As you use the laser, your skin warms because the laser is also warming up.  I sit in a cool room and in front of a fan for my at home hair laser removal treatments.
  • How hard I press the TRIA laser on my skin seems to make no difference in the discomfort.
  • How tight I pull my skin seems to make no difference in the discomfort.

Next I’ll post on how I move the TRIA laser hair removal system over the treatment area.  They are tips, tricks, and my suggestions that I can share.
