AD – this is a sponsored post by TRIA – all views and words are my own.
I think are all looking for ways to make our beauty regimes easier and less hassle these days, and I know from my past experience that at-home hair removal can make life SO much more easier and today I am talking you though the amazing TRIA 4X Hair Removal Device and why it could be your next beauty purchase.
Hair removal is of course something personal to everybody and it’s absolutely your choice on where you want and do not want hair, as both a man and woman. Please don’t think because I don’t want hair in certain places, means it’s ‘bad’, unsightly or wrong – you do you and whatever makes you feel confident and you best is the end goal!
At-Home Hair Removal.
There are various ways to deal with unwanted hair including waxing, shaving, hair-removal creams and also for more permanent and longer-term options we have laser hair removal. This was once something only obtainable by going to a professional clinic but thankfully with advances in technology, we now have options to do at-home laser hair removal – with the same results as the expensive clinics!
For me, I have always shaved or waxed my full legs, bikini line, underarms and yes : the dreaded chin area! Yes this is normal, as much as we don’t want to admit it, but women do get facial hair and that is completely fine. I do think there is still a bit of a stigma about talking about body hair, particularly with women but we need to break that and be more open in discussing it and not being afraid and know there are things to help, if we wish.
I actually have treated my leg area a couple of years ago with a laser at-home device so have not used the TRIA in this area this time but I have been using it on both my under arms and chin area with incredible (and fast!) results so I am going to talk about my experience with the device, how to use it and what you can except from at-home laser removal.
Why choose At-Home Laser Hair Removal ?
For many people, as discussed above, hair removal and unwanted hair can still be an embarrassing thing and some people may not feel comfortable going into a clinic to have areas, particularly intimate areas, treated. It’s an expensive treatment to have in-clinic (around £1200 per area for example the legs) and it can obviously take a lot of time driving to appointment and you need multiple sessions to get the desired results. At-home laser hair removal can be a more affordable option, more time-friendly (aka you can fit it in around you and your daily routine) AND you have the privacy aspect if that is important to you.
I personally like the fact I have total control and can treat multiple areas in my own time, when I choose and make it suit my schedule which can be so different week-to-week and I find it really hard to book ahead and stick to appointments.
In short, at-home laser hair removal can give you more freedom to treat areas within your time restraints, it’s more affordable and it is perfect if you feel uncomfortable about someone else doing it, particularly intimate areas.

TRIA 4x Hair Removal Laser Device.
The TRIA 4X Hair Removal Laser is a safe and proven, permanent at-home hair removal device. It will give you up to 75% hair reduction after just 2 treatments, and up to 100% hair removal after a full course of treatment. It is a hand-held device (about the size of a hairdryer) and is simple to use and delivers up to 233% more power than other devices therefore it removes more hair AND faster. Using the same FDA-cleared laser technology as top clinics, it’s a safe, effective at-home hair removal solution.
The TRIA 4X Hair Removal Laser uses diode laser technology which is clinically proven to be up to 90.1% more effective for hair removal than IPL.


How the Tria 4X Laser Hair Removal Device Works.
The TRIA 4X Laser Hair Removal uses diode laser technology to target the melanin (pigment) in your hair follicles. The laser’s energy is absorbed by the pigment, then converted to heat, and this heat disables the follicle, preventing future hair growth. Over time, with consistent use, the hair falls out and regrowth becomes finer and less frequent, leading to a permanent reduction in hair.

What hair / areas can be treated by the TRIA 4X Laser Hair Removal :
The Tria 4X Laser Hair Removal can be used on legs, arms, armpits, bikini line, fingers, toes and women’s o ‘peach fuzz’ type facial hair. It cannot be used on thicker facial hair, on or close to genitalia, the anus or nipples. It should also not be used on sensitive, dry, damaged, sunburnt or tattooed skin.
Skin sensor: The device has a built-in skin sensor that confirms the skin tone is safe for treatment before it will activate the laser

How to use the TRIA 4x Laser Hair Removal : a step-by-step guide.
For optimal hair removal results, use your Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser for 6 sessions, once every 2 weeks. After this 12-week period, complete monthly top ups for 3-6 months. At this point you should see up to 100% hair removal with clinically proven, permanent results.
1.) Before starting laser hair removal treatments you need to shave the desired treatment area. This ensures that the hairs are short and only slightly above the surface. This allows the laser to better target the hair follicle beneath your skin’s surface.
2.) Turn on the device by pressing on the pink button. The device will be locked at this point. To unlock your Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser, you’ll need to hold the Skin Sensor in the base of your device against the area of skin you wish to treat. If your skin tone is safe to treat, the device will unlock and you can begin your treatment. If it is not safe to treat, the device will remain locked.
3.) Set treatment level. It has 5 treatment levels with 1 being the lowest and 5 is the highest. The highest you use the quicker the results but also you will feel it more so select the level you are comfortable with. Level 5 you may feel more discomfort in your more sensitive ares.
4.) Place the treatment window onto the area to be treated and you will hear it beep when it has ‘pulsed’. This area has now been treated to move it along to the next area and repeat until the entire area has been treated. You want a slight overlap each time to ensure the area is treated properly.
5.) Turn off the laser by holding down the power button and give it a quick wipe to clean the treatment window. Remember to repeat this for every 2 weeks for 3 months.
Note : the cooling fan may turn on and off during the treatment which is completely normal.
As an approximate guide :
Your under arms may need around 100 pulses per side (5 minutes per side)
Your bikini line may need around 200 pulses per side (10 minutes per side)
Upper lip may need around 25 pulses (2/3 minutes)
Upper leg may need 600 pulses per side (25-30 minutes)
Lower leg may need 600 pulses per side (25-30 minutes)

Can anyone use the TRIA 4X Hair Removal Device ?
Due to the way the laser technology works, it is not right for everyone and I will show you below the guide on who can and can’t use the at-home removal device. This is dictated both by skin tone and hair colour.
Because the laser targets the melanin (pigment) in your hair follicles, this means that it needs clear differentiation between the colour of the hair and the colour of the skin around it to work safely and effectively and not damage the skin by thinking it is hair.
Use this chart as a guide but please note that this chart serves as a representation only and, due to varying screen colour renderings, the chart should not be used to determine suitability of the device. The Tria 4X Hair Removal Laser is recommended on skin tones I to IV on the Fitzpatrick Scale and hair tones that are light brown or darker, not blonde, red, grey or white.
The safety sensor on the bottom of the device will let you know if it can be used in the area which you place it on – it will NOT unlock and be useable if the area is not safe to use.

Is the TRIA at-home laser hair removal safe to use?
YES! It is actually very easy to understand /use and to get right when using it. The instructions are very clear and easy-to-follow AND it has the safety switch when you turn the device on so if it’s not safe to use on you, it will not activate and turn on. It is FDA cleared and there is also a 90-day money-back guarantee if you aren’t happy with the results you are seeing with the TRIA. It also has a one year warranty should anything go wrong with your device.

TRIA 4x Hair Removal Laser results : Before and After.
As the TRIA uses a diode laser, this is 233% more powerful than hair removal with IPL. It will give you up to 75% hair removal success after just 2 treatments and 100% after the full treatment. I have found it really does work like this and after just using it twice my hair growth on both my underarms and upper lip/chin area was minimal. I am now approaching month 3 so coming towards the end of the initial treatment then I will be doing the once a month treatment until month 6 to ensure all the hair follicles are disabled.
The pain of using the device differs for everyone and you can adjust the setting to what suits you. Some areas will be more sensitive than others, for example I have no problem with using the level 5 on my legs and has no pain at all but I found my underarms a bit more sensitive (I think because thicker hair) so I have been using a level 3 for my underarms. The sensation is a warm prickling sensation and if it’s been too high it’s more like an elastic band snapping onto the skin! Approach it how you want to make it comfortable for you.

As I have mentioned I am using it on my underarm and chin area currently as have previously treated my full legs. I’m feeling like I don’t want the whole internet to see my hairy armpits so I am sharing the before and after’s from the TRIA website but I promise you it works, it works VERY quickly and it’s honestly SO worth the time and effort for longer term ease and hair-free areas. I think it’s also good when you have an at-home device so you can top up over the years as needed as fine hairs may slowly start to grow back.
Laser Hair Removal + Ingrown Hairs
I have also found it VERY good for ingrown hairs and if you suffer from them like myself, then laser hair removal can be a bit of a game-changer. My bikini line and underarms where my problem areas and especially with waxing I often had quite adverse reactions and bumps post treatment so laser hair removal is a really good option to prevent this as it completely disables the hair follicle.
