Tria Laser reviews have been flooding the Internet and RequestReviews.com reveals the truth about this product that claims permanent hair removal using the same technology as salon and medical spa laser hair removal systems.
The Tria Laser Hair Removal System provides a solution to the hassles of frequent waxing and shaving. It is designed for people who are unable to afford, find the time or are simply too embarrassed to get laser hair removal treatments done at a salon or medical spa. The Tria device has caught the attention of RequestedReviews.com’s Laura O'Connor, prompting an investigative review.
“The Tria is making a buzz in the aesthetics industry by offering a hair removal solution that can be brought into the privacy of the home. Their patented home laser hair removal system is the only one currently approved by the FDA. It utilizes the same diode laser technology that can be found in most professional hair removal clinics,†says O'Connor.
In her review, O'Connor gives people a better idea of the features the system has to offer, such as the skin sensor that determines whether or not your skin tone is the correct color to use the device. She also mentions the different energy level settings so users can choose the setting that they feel they can tolerate best.
O'Connor warns readers that the device head is small so it will take a while to treat a larger body part such as an arm or a leg. She also warns people that there is a small degree of discomfort when using the laser and describes the pain as a flick of a small elastic band. In the event of discomfort O'Connor recommends either turning down the device to a lower level or simply applying numbing cream or rubbing some ice over the area prior to treating it.
“I was surprised... This home laser hair removal device is one that I actually recommend,†says O'Connor. “You'll be able to get the same long-lasting results as the expensive clinic treatments at a much lower cost and it's ultimately a risk free purchase due to the products 90 day guarantee if you buy it direct from the Tria Beauty websiteâ€.

Men now make up 17% of one clinic's laser hair removal patients
Excess hair in men can be caused by high testosterone levels but it can also be caused by genes, age and ethnicity

Pulling, plucking, shaving and waxing - it’s safe to say women go to great lengths to stay smooth and hair-free.
But at a time when men everywhere are taking more of an interest in their appearance, it seems they too are worrying about how best to get rid of their unwanted hair.Â
One London clinic, in fact, has reported that the number of men undergoing laser hair removal rose by 86 per cent between 2012 and 2013.Â
Men now make up 17 per cent of all laser hair removal patients. One such man is Louis Kearton, 21, who sought treatment for his excessively hairy back (pictured)
The Private Clinic on Harley Street claims male patient numbers are soaring, with men now making up 17 per cent of all laser hair removal patients.
Excessive hair growth in men is often caused by excessive levels of testosterone.
But this is not always the case as genetics, age and ethnicity can also all play a part.Â
Mr Kearton had eight sessions of laser hair removal and say the results (pictured) have made him far more confident and enabled him to feel comfortable taking his shirt off in public
And while for some women a hairy chest is a sign of a ‘real’ man, today it seems more and more women prefer their men’s chests to look silky smooth.Â
Louis Kearton, a 21-year-old customer services advisor, suffered with excessive hair on his arms, back, chest and shoulders from the age of 12.
He said: ‘I was bullied as a child because of the hair and life as a teenager certainly wasn’t easy.
Mr Kearton (pictured since his treatment) said: 'Now I can look in the mirror and feel proud of myself'
‘As I grew up I wasn’t able to do things other guys my age did, like swimming or going to the gym. I felt trapped in my own clothes and I absolutely hated taking my top off.
‘The problem also put my dating life and my sex life on hold. It stopped me from wanting to go out and find someone and I lacked confidence.
‘I didn’t want to talk to anyone about the problem though and I just went into my own little world and closed myself off. I didn’t feel attractive and I certainly didn’t think anyone else would find me attractive.
‘As much as I waxed and shaved my chest, it didn’t seem to make any difference -the hair would actually just grow back ten times worse.’
Eventually, he decided to undergo hair removal treatment.
The treatment involved targeting the hairs with pulses of heat from a laser.
The heat is attracted to the pigmentation in the hair follicle, damaging it until the hair stops growing.
Over time, and after a series of sessions of laser hair removal, hair growth will significantly slow or even stop altogether.
After a series of eight sessions, Mr Kearton’s hair removal procedures had removed the unwanted hair.
‘Now I can look in the mirror and feel proud of myself,’ he said. ‘I can wear what I want for the first time now and I’m not scared of taking my top off at all. I finally feel like a normal 21-year-old.’
Rachel Nugent, senior laser practitioner at The Private Clinic, said: ‘The number of male patients we treat has grown steadily over the years.
‘Men are now displaying a far more open attitude towards undergoing beauty treatments and cosmetic procedures, which they know will improve the way they look.
Experts say laser hair treatment is becoming increasingly popular among men as women become less keen on 'manly' hairy chests. Mr Kearton is pictured before his treatment
‘Now, not only is it more important than ever for men to look their best, but it is also important for them to feel good about themselves.
‘Very often, having a lot of hair on the body is something that gets in the way of men feeling at their most attractive or confident. Because of this, laser hair removal is now a popular treatment among men from their early twenties through their fifties.’
She added: ‘Today it is completely acceptable for men to invest in such treatments in order to improve their appearance and ultimately increase their levels of self-confidence.’
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Most people have hair on their face or body that they wish would disappear. In fact, unwanted hair is a common problem. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, laser hair removal is the 3rd most performed non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the US1.
"When patients come to me seeking a solution for their unwanted hair, they've usually tried other methods with little success," says Dr. James Altizer with Vein Center of Charlotte. "When I tell them about permanent hair reduction treatments using the Cynosure Elite MPX™, it's very exciting news for them."
The Elite MPX provides the technology needed for comprehensive hair that can treat unwanted hair anywhere on the face or body, regardless of the patient's ethnicity. "Whether the patient has dark or light skin, I am able to effectively treat them, even patients with tanned skin," Dr. Altizer said.
To eliminate hair, the laser emits gentle pulses of energy that pass through the skin and penetrate to the hair follicle. The follicle absorbs the energy and is rendered unable to ever produce hair again, while the surrounding tissue is left unharmed. "People want to feel good about how they look, and these laser treatments can help make that happen," Dr. Altizer said. "My patients are consistently satisfied with their results."
In addition to providing hair removal treatments the Elite MPX at Vein Center of Charlotte can also treat brown spots from unwanted sun damage and veins. Vein Center of Charlotte provides a variety of aesthetic treatments including laser spider vein, spider vein injections, treatment/surgery of unsightly varicose veins, and weight loss program.Â
Vein Center of Charlotte will be hosting an educational open house free to the public on February 6th from 6pm â€" 8pm. Attend this open house event to learn more about any of their aesthetic treatment offerings and for your chance to win package giveaways including full package giveaways for the removal of brown spots, facial rejuvenation, and hair removal*! Additionally, there will be discounts on laser package purchases and weight loss program offered to open house attendees only. Dr. Altizer will be available for free consultations at the open house.Â
Vein Center of Charlotte is located at 10502 Park Road Suite 120, Charlotte, NC 28210.
Media is welcome to attend this event.

1. 15th Annual Cosmetic Surgery National Data Bank Statistics, The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic    Surgery, 2011.
January 1st marked the launch of Cadiz Laser Spa’s new laser hair removal services along with special discount pricing. Instead of offering packages that may not include an adequate number of treatments or result in clients paying for treatments that aren’t needed, Cadiz Laser Spa is taking a different approach by focusing on single laser hair removal treatments.
Christine Crownover, the Clinical Manager at Cadiz Laser Spa, believes that opting to do away with packages will result in a better client experience. “Many factors affect how many treatments a client will need to reach their desired level of hair removal. By offering laser hair removal in single treatments we’re able to tailor everything to the client’s unique needs rather than put everyone into a standard package.â€
Ms. Crownover also noted that Cadiz Laser Spa has priced the single treatments so they are still comparable to the rates found in package deals. Clients will now be able to pay as they go rather than having to pay a larger fee up front for multiple treatments. The change will also give clients more flexibility in scheduling since they won’t have to use a pre-determined number of treatments within a certain time frame.
The newly redesigned Cadiz Laser Spa website features information on all the new laser hair removal services and pricing, which include: Arms, Underarms, Bikini, Chest, Abdomen, Legs, Back and so much more. Â Â Â Â

Like clothes and hairstyles, pubic hair is always subject to changing fashions and strong opinions. In 2004, with Tom Ford at the helm Gucci shaped a model's pubic hair into a 'G' as part of a controversial ad campaign [see picture]. And in her new book, actress Cameron Diaz dedicates an entire chapter to the subject, urging women to consider that their pubic hair might serve as 'pretty draping'. But according to The Harley Medical Group, au naturale is out and the UK's women are becoming a nation of smooth operators.
As one of the UK's leading providers of Cosmetic Surgery and Laser & Skin treatments, figures from The Harley Medical Group are often indicative of growing trends. And its end of year figures for Laser Hair Removal reveal that more and more women are choosing to go 'Hollywood' and 'Brazilian', permanently. In the last 12 months, the number of women booking in for pubic laser hair removal has grown by 25%, while Laser Hair Removal for the bikini line overall is currently growing 20 times faster than for any other area of the body.
Recent significant advances in Laser Hair Removal are undoubtedly part of the reason why the UK is seeing a growing trend for keeping things smooth and tidy down below. The Harley Medical Group uses lasers approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its 21 clinics nationwide have exclusive rights to treat all hair colours, including blonde and grey hair. Their lasers are the most technologically advanced and the Group has already successfully performed over 250,000 treatments.

Her first two laser hair-removal sessions went smoothly, but the third ended with burning pain that persisted for weeks, a 26-year-old Brooklyn woman recalled. Then the marks appeared: long red stripes along the backs of her legs. Over the next few months, the stripes turned dark brown.
“It was horrifying,†said the woman, who asked not to be identified in order to preserve her privacy. “It wasn’t something you would see on a normal person.â€
Laser hair-removal procedures have become immensely popular in recent years. Nearly half a million such treatments were performed by dermatologic surgeons in 2011, the last year for which figures are available, according to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. But an unknown number of procedures are performed each year by nonphysicians who may have minimal training.
The treatments are not without risk. Performed improperly, they can cause disfiguring injuries and severe burns in sensitive areas, like the bikini line and the mustache area above the lips, and, rarely, even death.
The percentage of lawsuits over laser surgery that involved a nonphysician operator rose to 78 percent in 2011 from 36 percent in 2008, according to a study published in JAMA Dermatology in October. Laser hair removal was the most commonly performed procedure cited in the litigation. Another popular treatment, intense pulse light, is used to “rejuvenate†aging skin and get rid of wrinkles.
“Not a week goes by that I don’t see a complication from a laser,†said Dr. Tina Alster, founding director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery. She and other physicians worry about the proliferation of nonmedical facilities like so-called medical spas that offer laser treatments and other cosmetic treatments but may not have licensed medical personnel on site.
“There’s a perception by the public that anybody can do this,†Dr. Alster said. “People need to remember, it’s not the laser doing the work, it’s the operator.â€
In the case of the Brooklyn woman, the laser operator, who was not a doctor, scheduled repeat treatments of her legs four weeks apart instead of the 10 to 12 weeks for legs and the back recommended in a treatment protocol, according to her lawyer, Harry Rothenberg. She sued and reached a confidential settlement with the laser operator.
The licensing and training of laser hair-removal operators varies from state to state, resulting in a patchwork of rules and regulations, said Dr. Mathew M. Avram, director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Dermatology Laser and Cosmetic Center and an author of the new study.
In laser hair removal, pulses of light are used to destroy hair follicles. The treatment is considered to be the practice of medicine in some 35 states; however, nonmedical personnel who offer the treatment are required to have on-site medical supervision in only 26 states.
New York, Virginia and Georgia do not consider laser hair removal to be a medical treatment, and 11 states simply don’t have laws regulating it.
“It’s basically the Wild West of medicine,†Dr. Avram said. “Some states are legislating and protecting patients, but a great many are not. The average person walks into a spa and sees someone with a white coat on and may assume they’re a physician.â€
Even doctor-owned facilities may not have one on the premises when procedures are being done, Dr. Avram said. And states that require medical supervision may not require training and licensing of laser operators; training often is left up to the manufacturers that sell the laser equipment.
But the operator makes critical assessments of an individual’s skin type and how far apart to schedule treatments, as well as other decisions. Among those with the greatest risk of complications are people with more natural pigment in their skin or those who are tan.
A laser operator with no medical training also may treat something that looks like a sun spot but is actually a skin cancer, obscuring the disease until it is much more advanced, Dr. Avram said.
Allan Share, president of the International Medical Spa Association, agrees that there is very little oversight of medical and day spas, and he urges consumers to do research before seeking treatment. “It’s always important for a consumer to do their own due diligence,†he said.
For those considering laser hair removal, here are some factors to consider:
â– Ask whether the facility is owned by a medical doctor and whether he or she is immediately available during procedures. Ask the provider to review your medical history. Ask what procedures are in place in case of an emergency.
â– Ask who will actually perform the procedure. What licensing and training does the operator have? How many times has the operator performed laser hair removal? Has he or she done it on the part of the body that you want treated?
â– Ask whether laser treatment is appropriate for your skin type, hair color, complexion and body area. Suggest that the operator test a small patch of skin before you undergo the procedure. Consumers with conditions like diabetes, a difficulty with wound healing, or a tendency toward keloid scarring may be especially vulnerable to complications and should talk to a doctor before undergoing laser treatment.
If you experience pain or discoloration after a procedure, don’t wait â€" call your doctor right away.

November 7, 2012. Cameron Diaz arrives for the world premiere of the film "Gambit" at Leicester Square in London.Reuters
Cameron Diaz has authored a fitness, diet and beauty book called simply "The Body Book," and in it the 41-year-old actress does not hold back on a myriad of topics including laser hair removal which she terms a "crazy idea."
According to Us magazine Diaz writes, "I hear that there's a big fad these days of young women undergoing laser hair removal on all of their lady bits."
The "Bad Teacher" actress even devotes an entire chapter to the topic titled "In Praise of Pubes" which encourages women to abstain from permanent hair removal.Â
"It’s a personal decision, but I’m just putting it out there: Consider leaving your vagina fully dressed, ladies," the blonde beauty writes. "Let’s be honest: Just like every other part of your body, your labia major is not immune to gravity."
"I know you may think you'll be wearing the same style of shoes forever and the same style of jeans forever, but you won't," she explained. "The idea that vaginas are preferable in a hairless state is a pretty recent phenomenon. All fads change, people."
And she also readily admits that she too suffered from acne and had "terrible, terrible skin."
"It was embarrassing, and I did everything I could think of to make it go away" she candidly wrote. "I tried to cover it with makeup. I tried to get rid of it with medication: oral, topical, even the harshest prescriptions. Nothing helped for very long."
"Looking back, I realize that I hadn’t needed those prescription drugs, those vials of potions and creams," Diaz wrote. "I hadn’t needed to be angry at my skin or feel bad about myself. I had just needed to LISTEN TO MY BODY."

The actress-turned-author says she doesn't understand why women have laser hair removal in TMI chapter of new health book
Cameron Diaz has dedicated an entire section of her new health guide The Body Book to her obsession with PUBIC HAIR.
The actress-turned-author questions why young women have laser hair removal and compares the ‘fad’ to changes in fashion and style.
The blonde bombshell also believes pubic hair serves as “a pretty draping†adding mystery to those who might be courting her sexiness.
In a bizarre extract published on Radar Online, she reveals her vagina is “fully dressed†and thinks it’s nice that someone special can “unwrap it†like a gift.
“I hear that there’s a big fad these days of young women undergoing laser hair removal on all of their lady bits,†Diaz writes.
“Personally, I think permanent laser hair removal sounds like a crazy idea. Forever?
“I know you may think you’ll be wearing the same style of shoes forever and the same style of jeans forever, but you won’t.
“The idea that vaginas are preferable in a hairless state is a pretty recent phenomenon, and all fads change, people.â€
She continues: “Pubic hair also serves as a pretty draping that makes it a little mysterious to the one who might be courting your sexiness.
“Pubes keep the goods private, which can entice a lover to come and take a closer look at what you have to offer.
“Also, let’s be honest: just like every other part of your body, your labia major is not immune to gravity.â€
Diaz asks her readers: “Do you really want a hairless vagina for the rest of your life?â€
“It’s a personal decision, but I’m just putting it out there: Consider leaving your vagina fully dressed, ladies.
“Twenty years from now, you will still want to be presenting it to someone special, and it would be nice to let him or her unwrap it like the gift that it is,†she concludes.
She spent 18 months working on that book, which she released on December 31, so obviously that’s time well spent, right? Right.
