What is your personal experience (good or bad) with home laser hair removal devices such as the TRIA?

I would like to know if these devices work as advertised. What are the pros and cons? Is it worth the expense? Is there any pain? Does the treatment last? Any long-term danger or side effects? Serious answers only; looking for personal experience, not cut-n-paste from some blog site. Thanks!

My personal opinion is that home laser hair removal devices are not worth it.

I have used TRIA and can tell you that it does work to some extent but, only if you keep using the device.
I stopped after the suggested 6 to 8 treatments and the hair grew back. I did notice in some areas that the hair was somewhat thinner than before. But, again the hair did grow back so it is not permanent.

As far as pain, yes it does hurt. Not unbearable but not a pleasant experience.

No hair removal laser that is sold to the public will be capable of the long term results that most are looking for. The lasers that professionals use are to dangerous for the average person to use.

As with any laser procedure there are risks. TRIA is no different you must be cautious especially if you have darker skin tone. TRIA comes with a skin sensor that you place on your skin. Then you turn the machine on. If a green light appears then your skin should be light enough to safely laser with TRIA. This will also activate or unlock the device so it can be used. If your skin is not light enough it will not unlock.
Some of the risks for laser hair removal are blisters and burns which can result in scarring.

For more permanent hair removal I would suggest getting a laser hair removal procedure done by a professional. I will be doing this. Why? Well, even though it may cost a little more you will have to endure less treatments and in the end will have a more permanent result.

Hope this helps!

I've done laser hair removal treatments, and my opinion is that it is that it works, but it is not 100% permanent or 100% effective, but then again that depends on your hair color. If you've got really dark hair (black or dark brown), then go for it, you'll probably have your hair removed within 10 treatments (at least 90% of it, probably more), and it will work for you. If you've got blonde or light colored hair, then you could have some disappointment when not all of the hair is removed, or the removal is temporary. The key to laser hair removal is not the amount of treatments, yet the color of the hair. You will also not be allowed to get a tan, as this defeats the purpose of hair removal.

With regards to the "at home" treatments, I do not have any personal experience with it, and would not recommend doing it yourself. I think the best way to get any sort of treatment that involves hair removal would be from someone who is licensed to do it. When doing it yourself you're bound to miss spots, and not do it the right way, or even so you could cause damage to your skin. So, if you go through any sort of laser hair removal treatment, don't be stingy and think an at home machine is going to do the job. It might work, yet then again it might not. It's not the same laser that they use at the professional laser treatment centers.

With regards to pain, there is no pain in the sense of a toothache, yet there is discomfort. Think of it like a rubber band snapping on your skin. That's the best way to describe a laser hair removal treatment. The more you do it, the less you feel the discomfort. If you have a professional clinic do the laser treatment, then you might ask them to put cream on you that prevents this discomfort.

My opinion is that you get what you pay for. If you buy a do it yourself kit at home, it might sound great as advertised, but do you really want to be doing it to yourself, or would you rather someone who is trained to use the equipment doing it for you? I think that a less expensive machine might not be as powerful as the industrial sized equipment, but then again, I've never really used this. With so many laser clinics offering promotions, you might want to spend a little extra and get it done professionally first. You could ask a doctor about any of the side effects that might come with using something like a Tria.
