The first device I am planning to review is the Tria Laser Hair Removal machine. I ordered it on Tuesday and am eagerly waiting for it to arrive! For those of you who haven't heard of Tria before, it is a laser device designed for home use that claims it can leave you hair-free within eight months of starting treatment. After researching a number of similar (but cheaper) devices such as Philips Lumea or Boots Smooth Skin, the Tria device (although more expensive at £575) appeared to be the only one that uses the same laser technologies as the professionals which then states to have the same successful results, which are more likely to be permanent.
The likelihood of it working is apparently down to having the most suitable skin tone and hair colour. The ideal skin would be pale (and free of a tan or fake tan) with black or brown hairs. This is because the laser works by targeting dark pigment that disables the hair follicle, causing the hair to fall out and stop growing back. Apparently the Tria is not recommended for Dark tanned, Asian or Afro-Caribbean skin, nor for body hair that is ginger, blond or white.
I am going to trial this device over the next year providing regular updates on progress along the way. Watch this space for the details of my first session. Here's hoping I will be hair free by next summer!!
