TRIA Hair Removal Laser Update 3.

/

I told you about the TRIA Beauty Hair Removal Laser back in October. If you haven't read my introductory post, please do so, so that you can follow along.  Right now, I am in my third month of testing out this at home hair removal laser from TRIA Beauty.

I feel like I am at a stand still with the laser right now. I am still using it about every five days on my underams and legs. Yes, the hair is coming in slower, and I do not have the need to shave before five days. This is progress, but the hair is still coming in. It is well documented that it takes a full six months of treatment before the hair stops growing in, so I realize I still need to continue the treatments and be patient. I cannot wait until I can say that my underarms and legs are hair-free.

Here is a little video from one of the research doctors at TRIA explaining, really briefly, how the TRIA Hair Removal Laser works.

TRIA Hair Removal Laser Update 2.

/

I told you about the TRIA Beauty Hair Removal Laser back in October. If you haven't read my introductory post, please take a few minutes to do so, so you can follow along. Basically, I am testing out this new system from TRIA Beauty, a leader in light-based laser technology.

As I said, I am using the TRIA on my underarm area.  I began by using it twice a week. Over the past few weeks, I only use it one time a week. Why? Well, as you need to be cleanly smooth and freshly shaven before using, I cannot use it more than once a week now. Yes, this is progress.  I only have noticeable hair growth after about 5 days, and I am shaving then. The hair is much more thin and less sparse than it was when I began using the TRIA back in November.

I am still using the TRIA on a level 3. I fully thought that I would be able to use it on level 4, but I just don't like the stinging I feel. Some of the pulses don't feel like anything, and then all of a sudden, it almost feels like a bee sting to me. I must be more sensitive in parts, so level 3 it is.

I am thrilled at the progress. So much so, that I now take the time and use it on my legs once a week.  It takes just less than twenty minutes on each leg. I am on level 2 on my legs. The first time I used it on my legs, I did take too long and the battery died on me. But now that I have the pattern and motion in check, I can get a full forty minutes use out of the TRIA before it needs a recharge. It is important to note that when I received the TRIA, I was instructed to use the device twice a week for review purposes. The directions that come with the TRIA are different, explaining to use it once every two weeks. I settled on using it on just once a week on my legs - mainly because of the time involved.

When I began, I thought I would use this on my underarms and bikin area, where I am very sensitive. I think this is why I decided to use it on my legs before bikini area, but now that am quite comfortable with using the TRIA, I think I am going to add in my bikini area now. I doubt I will be able to tolerate anything more than a level 1, but we will see.

Stay tuned for another update the end of February.
