How It Works
It’s all about selective photothermolysis. Big word – simple to understand.
Photothermolysis is the process by which the TRIA System’s laser energy targets the dark pigment in the hair, where it is transformed into heat that disables the hair follicle. This targeted process causes the hair to gradually fall out and stop growing back.
It is important to understand that visible results are not immediate because hair grows in cycles.
During any single treatment, some hair follicles will be dormant with no visible hair growth and some will be in a growth cycle, where the hair is visible on the surface of the skin. To benefit from laser treatment, the hair must be in the growth cycle (visible prior to shaving) during treatment.
For optimal results, we recommend one treatment every other week for the first three months then one treatment per month for 3-5 months. This is the average amount of time it takes for the majority of the hair follicles to move through the growth cycle and be treated.
How To Use
The TRIA Laser Hair Removal System can be used on the legs, underarms, bikini line, back, chest, abdomen, arms, hands, or feet, or anywhere that’s suitable, below the neck.
Ready to be hair-free? It’s easy! Let’s get started:
Step 1:
Cleanse, shave, and thoroughly towel-dry the skin.
Step 2:
Select the energy level that's comfortable for you. There are three levels to choose from: 1 (low), 2 (medium), 3 (high).
Step 3:
Apply the tip of the laser to the skin and listen for the beep indicating that and the device has delivered an automatic laser pulse*. If you hear a buzz, the laser has misfired and you will need to re-treat the area
Step 4:
Reposition the TRIA laser by overlapping slightly with the last treatment area and repeat until you have covered the desired area.
Step 5:
Repeat every other week for the first three months then one treatment per month for the next 3-5 months.
It’s that simple!
*When applied to the skin, the TRIA laser emits a single laser pulse, delivering a beam of light through the tip of the device. The tip is large enough to treat multiple hair follicles at a time in a concentrated area. Once the pulse is complete, the TRIA laser will emit a short beep, indicating you should move on to the next treatment area.
From May 2003 through January 2004 TRIA Beauty co-founder Mark Weckwerth treated a 3”x 3” square patch on his leg once per month with the TRIA System.

Cost Comparison:
The TRIA System vs. Professional Laser Hair Removal
Based on US national averages, the cost of professional hair removal on the legs, underarms, and bikini line only is upwards of £7000–£8500* for a full course of treatments.
Treatments average upwards of £200–£700 per treatment, with most areas requiring five to eight treatments for permanent hair reduction, the size of the area, along with the amount of hair being treated, will determine the exact price.
Below is a rough breakdown of the cost of in-office laser hair removal by treatment area:
• Medium areas like the bikini line or underarms: £200–£300+ per treatment.
• Larger areas like the full legs or a man’s full back: £350–£650+ per treatment.**
The good news is that the TRIA System delivers the same, lasting results as the professionals, at a cost of just £675 for the entire body.
