How Tria Works
August 14, 2008 by · Leave a Comment
The TRIA Laser Hair Removal System is a very simple and easy to use hair removal device. Once charged, TRIA allows you to select one of three levels of intensity appropriate for your degree of sensitivity. When applied to the skin, it emits a short pulse of light through an output window, covering multiple hair follicles in second-long intervals. When it’s time to move the output window, the device emits a short beep.
The Tria system targets hair growth beneath the skin. Because the laser reacts with the dark pigment of the hair shaft, the surrounding skin is not harmed. The result from the Tria Laser Hair System is beautifully smooth, radiant skin that doesn’t require the arduous maintenance of many other conventional hair removal methods.
TRIA has three contact sensors to safeguard against misuse that may occur. If all three contact sensors on TRIA are not in contact with the skin, then the device will not emit it’s pulse of light. If TRIA is moved or lifted off from the skin during a laser light pulse, TRIA will signal to you that the area needs to be treated again by emitting a short buzzing sound. - Sound pretty simple then really.
Please note that Tria is not for everyone and will not work on certain hair types. For example Tria will not work on on naturally white, grey, blond, or red facial or body hair, becauase these hair colors are too light for TRIA to be effective.
