The FDA-cleared Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X is the first and only hair removal laser available for at-home use. Easy to use and with 5 comfort settings, the Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X delivers the same permanent results you get with professional treatments. It will free you from the hassles of endless shaving, waxing, ingrown hairs and razor burn.

Laser hair removal is the leading non-surgical cosmetic procedure for women under 34 and the second most popular non-surgical procedure for women 35 years and older, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Tria Beauty's team of scientists revolutionized the hair removal industry in 1993 with the invention of the first diode laser designed for in-office hair removal. The Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X uses the same laser technology used by professionals for in-office laser hair removal, for permanent results in the comfort and privacy of the home, at a fraction of the cost. Tria guarantees that you start seeing permanent results with just 2 treatments; in as few as 3 months, you could enjoy permanent freedom from the hassles of endless shaving and waxing.

The Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X is intended for use on light to medium skin tones with naturally brown or black hair. It will not work on naturally white, grey, blond, or red hair.

Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X is battery operated, but the battery is built-in and rechargeable. You don't have to replace it. A battery charger that you plug into the wall comes with every Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X.

It's normal to feel warmth, tingling, or itching when you use the Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X. Some users describe feeling the same level of discomfort as when a rubber band snaps against the skin.

The Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X is intended for people with light to medium skin tones. Darker skin tones can absorb too much laser light, which may injure the skin. The built-in skin sensor will determine if at-home laser hair removal is suitable for your skin tone.

The Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X is designed to work on naturally light brown to black body hair. Because the Tria Laser 4X works with the dark pigment in the hair, lighter hair colors such as white, blond, red, or grey will not absorb enough of the laser's energy to disable the hair follicle.

The Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X has not been tested on pregnant or nursing women, so it's possible that hormonal changes could increase skin sensitivity and the risk of skin injury. You should stop using the laser until you are no longer pregnant or breast-feeding. You should check with you doctor if you have any questions.

Yes, men may enjoy the same permanent results as women.

In just two Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X treatments you're on your way to permanent results.

During your 3 months of treatment

• After your first treatment, there will be no visible change to the hair. Laser hair removal does not cause hair to immediately fall out.
• After your second treatment, see up to a 70%* reduction in hair re-growth.
• With additional treatments, there will be a gradual reduction in the number of hairs with each treatment.
• The hair that does regrow will also begin to lighten and become finer.

After 3 months of treatment

• Hair follicles that have been deactivated by the Tria Laser 4X will not grow back.
• Do occasional touch-ups or additional treatments if necessary.

The FDA-cleared Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X uses the same laser technology used by professionals for in-office laser hair removal, to permanently remove hair in the comfort and privacy of the home, at a fraction of the cost. It is not a heat lamp or flashlamp device, it's a real laser proven safe and effective for use at home.

Lasers produce light of a very specific color. The Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X uses solid-state diodes to produce 810-nanometer light, which is an infrared light just beyond red in color. This color of light was specially chosen because it is well-absorbed by melanin (the pigment in the hair), and because it can travel deep into the skin to the root of the hair follicle. These features are what make the Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X so effective. It also uses a relatively long-duration pulse of laser light, which gently heats the hair while protecting the skin.

In general, IPLs produce a broad spectrum of light. The light appears white to the eye because it is a combination of many different colors. Not all of these colors are equally absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair or travel the same distance in the skin. As a result, the untargeted light may be absorbed in the skin and produce undesirable skin heating, as well as being less effective for hair removal. In addition, flashlamp devices generally operate with a relatively short-duration light pulse, which heats the skin less gently than longer pulses.
