Tria laser how long does it take

Many people think hair is growing back, when in fact, the hair is moving out of the skin and falling out. Now, your hair grows in cycles — you can have as many as up to eight cycles of hair growth. So you need multiple treatments before your body is hair-free. I saw a difference in my underarms the only area I have treated so far with the Tria Hair Removal Laser in after one treatment.

Using the Tria Hair Removal Laser device correctly is essential to removing your hair. You just turn on the device, unlock it using the skin sensor, select from one of five comfort settings, and place the laser tip on your skin. Continue until you have covered the area you want to treat. This takes all of the heat out of your skin and you will feel absolutely fine within seconds. The sensation varies person to person and the area being treated.

For me, it feels like a rubber band is being snapped against my skin. Some say that they feel a prickling sensation. It depends on each person and again, the area being treated. My underarms? My intimate bikini area? O M G It hurts so much!! It also depends on the setting you use. Lower comfort settings hurt less than the higher settings.

Work your way up if you have a low pain threshold. Your treatment time will vary depending on the size of the area you are treating. Smaller areas like your underarms or bikini area take a few minutes and larger areas, like legs, can take minutes.

After your first treatment, you might experience mild redness that quickly dissipates within 24 hours. After 2 or 3 months of treatment, your hair growth will appear lighter and the hair itself will be finer. After 6 months of treatment, your hair follicles that have been deactivated by the Tria Hair Removal Laser will have a permanent reduction in hair re-growth. Simply continue to use the Tria Hair Removal Laser until your skin is smooth! Keep holding it there with complete contact with the skin, and then it'll beep again to let you know that section is completed.

If what should be the second 'beep' is a 'buzz', then the laser wasn't completed on that section of skin, and you have to re-do it. Once you finish horizontally, then you do the same thing vertically up and down so you are less likely to have missed a spot. If you cover the area thoroughly, the company says you should have about 50 beeps per 1 square inch of skin. Despite all this, it doesn't take an exhausting amount of time. I did my bikini area in about a half hour or so. But if you're impatient, and not holding it down all the way down on the skin, so you're getting 'buzzes' instead of 'beeps', then it will take you a lot longer than necessary.

A large area like your legs will also obviously be more time consuming than the pubic region. I've never had professional laser hair removal, so I didn't know quite what to expect as far as pain. Admittedly, the bikini area is a bit more sensitive than other parts of the body. I want the best results, so I used the highest setting and the one more likely to feel the burn. Update : the system previously had three settings, but now has five.

It felt like a small snap, and a bit of heat, but it wasn't what I would call pain. However, when I got to the last inch—deep into my bikini line—I did turn the setting down a level, because it did hurt a little. After two weeks, when I was first using the system on my bikini line, some of the hairs started to come out and continued to come out for the next week.

Some hairs on their own, others with the help of exfoliating with a sugar scrub. You have to catch it at least once in every cycle. After three months of use at level two, my hair down there is extrafine, and in some areas, nonexistent. The anticipation of never having to wax again outweighs any minor discomfort.

And the popularity of barely there swimsuits seems to make this whole dang thing a necessity. To soothe it, use an ice pack or a wet face-cloth. Cooling water sprays are good too, as is Aloe Vera gel or a non-scented moisturiser. There are some rare, but possible, side effects reported with laser devices too.

Your overall effort depends on the number of start-up sessions and how fast each session is. Then you can do touch-ups or additional treatments as you need them.

Each battery charge last 30 minutes so working in sessions to match, you can zap your face and another small area e. This is a lot more effort compared to home IPL rivals which can treat a whole-body with the same effort. If you want to treat additional body areas, multiply the total effort column by how many additional minute sessions you need to cover those areas. As you can see, the Tria 4X is time intensive, the most time intensive and highest effort of all the home devices.

Hair grows slower and becomes finer, softer and lighter too. Keep going. Eventually you may not need to shave in between sessions. Bald patches gradually appear until your skin is smooth.

For some this happens before the recommended 8 sessions. Or it may take you longer. Then, do top-ups as necessary to keep your skin smooth. I suggest monitoring your skin and zapping every 1 to 2 months, or sooner if you notice soft regrowth appearing. So, results vary by individual. In our trial, hair grew slower after the second and third session.

Then after 4 sessions, bald patches appeared. Most of the remaining softer and finer hair eventually disappeared after 6 sessions. For the remaining two sessions there was very little, barely visible hair to shave. My underarms are still gloriously smooth. They want the best possible results in the shortest time. But it may not be the best choice for you because of some key negatives, as follows. First, for some it hurts more than a bit, especially on the higher power levels.

And compared to home IPL, the Tria has many more complaints that it hurts. Second, it takes ages to cover large areas. This means it demands close-up precision and concentration to get good coverage. And it takes a lot of overlapping pulses to cover your skin. Also, each battery charge lasts for around 25 to 30 minutes around zaps. Then, you must stop and recharge the laser for 2 hours. Especially if resuming the treatment on a later day. Therefore both full legs take between 2 to 4 hours of zapping, plus charging time.

You must be very committed to stick with this. Home IPL devices are much better suited to large areas and whole body sessions. As mentioned earlier, the Tria laser is heavy at g. So, keep the box to store it in, because this protects it from knocks and dust. And be extra careful when using the laser. However, I recommend it for face and small area treatments only, done in minutes.

Try another best buy instead. And remember, that extra power means it can hurt, so weigh this up in your decision. However, you can buy and try it with a reassuring money-back guarantee. Laser lifetime Charge the battery every month to extend the life.

Ease of use Intuitive, easy to use, and precise but takes extra concentration. Hurts for some. Limited to 30 mins of use per battery charge, so not suited to large areas. Check guarantee is honoured by Tria 60 days if buying from Amazon. Cheaper tools but not as sharp!
