A new product offers men and women a way to get rid of unwanted body hair in the comfort of their own home. The Tria Hair Removal Laser is the first DIY (do-it-yourself) laser of its kind, employing light-based laser beams that are typically reserved for treatments at med spas, plastic surgery offices, and dermatology offices.
The Tria Hair Removal Laser has experienced a surge in popularity across the country, most likely due to an endorsement from Kim Kardashian. Currently, laser hair removal is the most popular aesthetic beauty treatment among women under the age of 35, and the new Tria laser seems to be taking advantage of the large demand for these services.
Clinical trials found that the Tria laser successfully eliminated 70% of body hair after two treatments. In addition, use of the laser once a week for 12 weeks has been found to permanently remove almost all hair in the treatment region. The few hairs that grew back were much finer and lighter, making them virtually undetectable.
The handheld cordless laser uses a pulse counter and diode laser technology to achieve its results. It is most effective when used with light to medium skin tones. Men and women with very light hair may not achieve their desired outcome since the laser beams are not absorbed efficiently. Individuals with darker skin tones should also avoid using this product since they face a risk of burn injuries if their skin absorbs the laser light too efficiently.
La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic offers laser hair removal services, ensuring that your treatments are performed by a highly trained professional with extensive experience using this technology. We use the LightSheer laser hair removal system, an advanced system that has been proven safe and effective for just about every skin type. The LightSheer laser protects and cools the outer layer of skin throughout the entire process, providing maximum comfort during your treatment.
