Thanks so much for telling us about your personal experience so far. We’ll look forward to more. What people are hungry for is information about long-term effectiveness, meaning, what happens when the Tria is not used for a a period of six months to a year after you have treated an area for the prescribed amount of time in the prescribed way. I’m thinking this device is meant to be on par with what waxing can do and was not intended for to be used with the idea of achieving permanent hair reduction.

Do you have the time to write the makers of TRIA II and ask them why the warranty fell from 90 days to 30 days? THe answer should come from the horses mouth in all fairness to the company.

Thanks and welcome to hairtell,

Dee

  • They’re not pimples and you shouldn’t be using neosporin on them, especially if your skin is oily. That just makes things worse and clogs pores. It’s best to keep the area dry and clean and definitely avoid sweating for a few days. This is usually just irritation because the hair is so dense. You can apply witch hazel and pure aloe vera to speed up the healing process. That’s all I would use.

  • It’s ok to pull hair out as long as you’re not feeling any resistance. Exfoliating is better.

I had the same exact problem when I was using the Tria. They were huge red cyst like bumbs that really hurt. One ended up turning into a staph infection to which I had to go to the doctor and get put on anti-biotics to get rid of it. I still have a scar on my stomach from that. :frowning:

But there is a solution you can get that helps a lot. I am not going to mention it’s name on here but I found a homemade recipe for it online, and after I started applying it after every shower I never had any problems again. Here is how you make it:

solution 1:
18 tablets uncoated aspirin, crushed
5 oz. rubbing alcohol
combine.

solution 2:
8 tablets uncoated aspirin, crushed
2.5 oz. witch hazel
combine.

combine the two solutions. the aspirin will settle a bit, so shake it before use.(aspirin is acetic and salicylic acids.)

I have never used to real stuff, only this homemade version. And it worked like a charm! Also, while you are waiting the couple of weeks for the hair to eject I think it helps to shave the area daily. I think it helps keep yours pores open and helps applying this solution easier.

Hope this helps! I know what your going thru.

SO this is like homemade TendSkin. Let me add that this solution should go in a glass bottle, not a plastic one.

#25

Yes Dee, thats what it is. :wink: I didn’t know if I should say the name on here.

#26

I should add some new information since those formulations were posted. The “settling” on the bottom are tablet filler material, so it is best to just let it all settle, and pour the solution off into a glass bottle with a tight seal. You don’t want to mix too much up as it gets weaker over time, so it is better to mix fresh more frequently, than to try to make a gallon of the stuff and end up with little action as you try to use the last of it next year.

Never knew about the glass bottle. I have been keeping mine in plastic. Thanks for the info guys!

Eventually, the solution eats through the plastic, and you have a leaking problem. This even happens to retail Tend Skin. Many a woman’s purse, or man’s back pack has had its contents bathed in leaking Tend Skin because of this effect.

And I have been putting the stuff on my skin?? Oh well…it works! :wink:

Psst, Tea Tree Oil dissolves plastic as well, given enough time. :wink:
