I was very excited to try out Tria Laser and finally be able to performlaser hair removal at home.

The system comes packed well, in a white carrying case, with a charger and a skin sensor.

Safety First

First, I had to double-check my skin was light enough.

If it turns red, your skin is too dark and it’s possible for you to’t use it.

I was sure my skin was well within the skin tone range, and the light did turn green.

Although this system is definitely not a toy, it made a special beep when it unlocked.

Despite all this, it doesn’t take an exhausting amount of time.

I did my bikini area in about a half hour or so.

A large area like your legs will also obviously be more time consuming than the pubic region.

Did It Hurt?

Admittedly, the bikini area is a bit more sensitive than other parts of the body.

(Update:the system previously had three parameters, but now has five.)

Does It Work?

Some hairs on their own, others with the help of exfoliating with a sugar scrub.

I’ll keep you updated.
