Even professional Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation treatments are not guaranteed to deliver any particular level of results. Its a roll of the dice. What we can say is that Tria is not strong enough to match up to a pro unit, and you would have better spent that $595 plus tax on a professional electrolysis unit and a hair removal buddy if you need to economize.

If the treatment area is small, like an upper lip, professional treatments could be completed with the same amount of money.

Jane: Tria doesn’t work. 99% of the people who have reviewed this device did not get any results (even when they had shedding, it all grew right back). I only know of one person who feels that it worked a little bit (not a lot, just a little bit). I am one of those people who gave it a try with NO RESULTS and I am the most ideal candidate in the world- Porcelain skin and pitch black hair.

I would return it now before your window to return it runs out. It is simply not powerful enough to disable a follicle permanently.

Thanks James and Princess!
I guess it is good to hear that it didn’t work with someone else with with same ideal skin/hair type.
It’s just weird to read about all of these people saying it worked.
Guess I’ll take it back :(.
Thanks again!

Hi Jane:

You can’t believe everything you see on message boards.

Sometimes you have to consider the source.

If I was selling a magical hair restoration formula, I’d make sure my friends said nice things about it on the internet.

Then again you have people who may have gotten temporary shedding who think it
is better than sliced bread and will sing their praises about it. It’s kind of like
someone sitting in the eye of a hurricane and thinking the worst has passed.

What really matters is what happens long term, and whether they got permanent
removal or not.

Hey, vulpes
I have fair white skin, with dark black hair, just like you when I shave, hair becomes noticeably stubble within 12 hours, and if I wax, it regrows within 1 week. I am insecure of showing legs, my legs look the same as if I shaved when I waxed. I was wondering if you recommend me to purchase the Tria Laser?

Thanks! :smiley:

after reading this entire thread i gotta admit, i dont think vulpes is really giving credit to the Tria. from what i understand in the whole thing is that hes also using the outdated and not as powerful 1 gen model. could this be a part of his problem?

but the picture he posted of his chest, id say thats a really good reduction all together. the earlier pictures he posted were really underwhelming and didnt help me decide if i wanted to purchase the tria or not. but i gotta ask. Vulpes, can the tria KILL ANY hairs for good or not?

Hello. I am an anonymous young adult who has been looking into hair removal for quite a long time. I’ve had a hair problem since before most of my friends hit puberty (no joke) and when I say hair “problem” I’m not kidding. Im skinny as a twig, and completely covered in dark hair. Not a good combo, c’mon. Have you ever seen a skinny/hairy guy? It makes me feel like a friggin’ chimp! I stopped going swimming when I was 15, I never take my shirt off around people, and I avoid intimacy with girls because I’m just so uncomfortable with my appearance. I hate my body hair, with a passion, and if I could just get rid of it, my self esteem would go through the roof.

For a while, I was planning on getting a full body lasering at a clinic. I’d spend hours researching local clinics trying to find the cheapest way to do it, and calculated that (in my area at least) it would cost about $10,000 minimum to reach the asthetics that i so long desired. And for a while, I was really planning on spending that much. Even if it meant taking out a loan. I allways knew you could buy household laser removal kits, but I allways brushed 'em off and assumed they were just a scam. But according to this forum, they’re not! Gasp! A glint of hope?

So basically, I signed up for this forum to see if anyone can help me, and maybe tell me more about this Tria doohickey. I have extremely dark hair, and extremely pale skin… that makes me a good candidate, right? The thing is, I have hair EVERYWHERE. So what I’m asking is… how long does it take to use the Tria? Is it feasable to do large portions of your body with that tiny device? Or would anyone perhapse suggest seeing a clinic for a few sessions before I consider buying a Tria? Is there the possibility that I could look even worse after using it? Does it remove the hair evenly? Or do you guys think I should just live my life as a boney fuzz ball?

Im willing to spend any amout of time and endure any amount of pain to make this all fall off! Any advice, risk factors, reviews, suggestions, or insight on the situation would be appreciated. Please, somebody liberate me from my hairy demise!

It’s not permanent so I think full body laser is a much better idea -at least on areas where hair is thick enough.

You need professional laser treatments, the Tria does not work end of story. The problem is that even if it did work, it’s next to impossible to use on anything but a very small area. The battery lasts something like 15 minutes, and the spot size is maybe the size of a dime. On one full charge you can do about 6x6" square then it takes 2 hours to recharge. Imagine doing your legs like that??? It would take a week or two before you had them all covered so it’s completely unpractical. I’d put the money on professional laser first on areas that bug you the most, such as back and shoulders. I understand that you want a smooth chest as well but I think that more people would notice a hairy back vs hairy chest since the majority of guys have hair on their chest.

Thank you guys, your advice really does help. I’ve decided that if I want to get rid of all this, I’ll just have to bite the bullet and save up for some professional treatment. It shouldn’t be that expensive to get the results I’m looking for. My main concern is my chest, arms, and legs, and I found a place near me that can do each for $400 a session for large areas of the body. I figure that’s about 4-6 session for each body part, yea?

The strange thing is, edokid, is that I dont actually have hair on my back. Just little white hairs of course, but Im not really concerned. Maybe I’ll buy a Tria afterwards and just use it as a follow up treatment. Might improve the results for a lesser cost. Thank you guys!

I am an indian with fair skin but dense black hair though out. The hair growth is too fast. Hair on my legs are thick in texture and when i wax or epilate, im left with big pores on my skin. I can hardly think of shaving my legs as hair grows within hours. the jet black color makes them visible from far off. my bikini line is too hairy and some of them are pretty long. I am so pissed off having so many hairs. My under arms are dam bushy. have to shave them everyday.
I am sick and tired of bearing the pain from waxing and if i shave I get more hair than before. Its so hard for me to go out in summers as it takes hours to get rid of hairs.
Tria seems to give a ray of hope… looking forward for your suggestions as to what should i go for

Hi. I recently bought a TRIA and am trying it out. You can follow my exprience at http://hairhairgoaway.blogspot.com/

I hope you realize that the Tria does not provide permanent results, only temporary if that. The laser strength is no where near powerful enough to permanently kill the hair follicle. The strength that is required is not legal for home use so just make sure you’re aware of that before you waste too much time with these garbage home machines. The Tria is just a slower but fancy form of waxing, but even that is giving it too much credit.

Look at my signature, you can see all the professional laser treatments I’ve had. I have always had all the hair fall out and I’ve had great results. When I used the Tria (on the highest settings), the hair NEVER fell out. So I’d just like to know how if it’s supposedly as good and permanent as a professional treatment, then why would the hair never shed on me when every other professional laser has? The whole “3 weeks to shed” is nonsense as well. If you treat the hair and kill the root, it’s going to fall out quickly it’s not going to take 3 weeks.

Tria Laser Review

Very disapointed.

I received my Tria laser and once fully charged for three hours it only last for 5 minutes on the highest setting, which
was enough to do one underarm.

Great…
