Have you ever thought about ditching
your razors, binning your hair removal creams and waving goodbye to waxing?
Yeah me too- and not because I’ve
decided to go au natural!
Hair removal is so time consuming,
expensive and repetitive.
No sooner than you’ve shaved, waxed or
melted away your hairs, there they appear again, taunting you and laughing at
your futile efforts to get rid of them.
Well, not anymore!
Nope, I’ve not been booking myself in
for regular laser hair removal at some swanky beauticians, I’ve been blitzing
my hairs from the comfort of my own home with their hand held home use device.
But how?
Well, thanks to its breakthrough diode
laser technology (until now only available professionally) the hand-held
cordless device emits beams of laser light which focus on the hair follicles beneath
the skin’s surface, disrupting future growth.
The laser targets the pigment in the
hair which absorbs the heat, gently disabling the follicles and removing the
existing hair and preventing future hair re-growth.
Sounds amazing so far right? Stick with
it.
The Tria Hair Removal Laser needs to
reach each hair follicle during its growth cycle, so they say to use the device
once every two weeks for 6-8 months to
see optimum results. You can use it weekly if you want to see quicker results.
Quick and easy to use this, the device can
be safely used on legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, stomach, hands, feet, jaw
and upper lip.
Tria say that after 2 treatments you
will experience up to 70% less hair re-growth, and any hair growing back will
be lighter and finer, and in as little as six months you could have permanent
freedom from the endless rigours of shaving and waxing.
BUT, the Tria does not work on blonde,
grey, white, or red body hair. These hairs, even if dyed, do not contain enough
pigment to absorb the laser light and It is
also unsuitable for people with dark skin tones because of higher levels
of melanin in the skin.
How do you use it?
To use, prepare the area by shaving the
hair you wish to remove. This will allow the laser treatment to be most
effective since the laser works on the hair inside the follicle, under the
surface of the skin.
Next turn it on. Unlock the laser by locating the skin sensor which is a red light on the device base and hold it against the skin you wish to treat.
This will beep and unlock the device once it has determined that the area you want to treat is suitable for use with the device
Select the level of treatment you want
to use. You have the option of strengths from 1-5, 1 being the mildest, 5 being
the strongest.
Start at a low treatment level (1 or 2) and then increase by
one treatment level at a time until you've reached the highest treatment level
comfortable to you. The higher the treatment level, the faster and better the
results. (Yes, and the higher you go, the more painful too)
Establish a treatment area and place the
laser tip on your skin, on the area you wish to treat, making sure that it is
flat on your skin. Hold the laser tip in place until you hear a beep.
After each beep, just glide or lift and place the laser tip
about 0.5cm (¼ inch) and wait for the next beep. You want to make sure that the
laser tip slightly overlaps the area that you just treated.
Does it hurt?
Yes, sort of. Obviously this depends on
which area you are treating. I found my arm pits were more sensitive than my
legs, and my bikini line was more sensitive than my arm pits.
Indeed I could only manage level 2 on my
arm pits and bikini line for several weeks before I plucked up the courage to
crank it up a notch!
What does it feel like?
It feels like warm pin pricks, or a warm
elastic band being pinged against your skin.
I did find that I got used to this
sensation and was able to cope with the higher levels of treatment several
weeks in.
Yes Yes, but does it work?
Yes!
Now, this is not a quick fix- It requires time and dedication as well as a
certain amount of bravery at the beginning, but very quickly I noticed my hair wasn’t
growing back as quickly or thickly as it had before.
In a matter of months I found the hair wasn’t
growing back at all! I can’t tell you how much this pleased me!
I now only give it a top up every few
weeks and I am utterly thrilled with the results.
I never thought I’d like or get on with
a laser hair removal device, but Tria has saved me from the irritation and
annoyance of constantly having to shave!
The device costs £375 which sounds expensive,
however, think about how much you spend yearly on razors, shaving gel, hair
removal creams or waxing appointments.
This £375 is an investment that works
out at just £31 a month for a year and will allow you to live a fuzz free existence, which In
my opinion, is priceless.
