Charge your TRIA Laser

Charge the TRIA Laser for 2 hours before you use it for the first time. Plug the battery charger into the TRIA Laser charger socket, then into a power outlet. The battery indicator will show it is “filling up.” When the TRIA Laser is fully charged the battery light will stay on.

Activate your TRIA Laser

A one-time online or telephone activation is required before you can use the TRIA Laser. Go to TRIABeauty.com/Activate or call

TRIA Beauty Customer Care at 1-877-321-TRIA (8742). Activation takes less than 5 minutes to complete. The TRIA Laser will not work until it’s been activated.

Perform a patch test

Before your first full treatment on a new area of your body, we recommend you test the TRIA Laser on a patch of skin there and try different energy levels.

1. Wash, shave and dry the treatment area. Next, unlock the

TRIA Laser with the Skin Sensor (see page 6).

2. Place the Treatment Window flat against your skin, and test

one laser pulse.

3. If the Level 1 setting was comfortable for you, then move to

another test area and increase to Level 2, testing a patch at

that level with one laser pulse. Continue increasing levels and

changing test locations until you reach the highest level that

you can tolerate.

4. Wait 24 hours and then examine the test area. If your skin

looks normal, start your first treatment at the highest level that

is comfortable to you. Contact Customer Care or your doctor

if your skin does not look normal after the patch test.

before every treatment

Get your skin ready

1. Wash the treatment area thoroughly.

2. Shave the treatment area. If possible, use a new razor to make sure you get an extra close

shave. (Shaving helps reduce discomfort during treatment because the TRIA Laser works on

the hair inside the follicle, below the surface of the skin.)

3. Wipe your skin with a cool, damp cloth to dry the area and remove any shaving cream or soap.

Unlock the TRIA Laser with the Skin Sensor

The Skin Sensor is a built-in safety feature located inside the base of your TRIA Laser.

To unlock the laser with the Skin Sensor:

1. Turn on the TRIA Laser.

2. Hold the base of the TRIA Laser over the skin in the area you wish to treat. The

Skin Sensor will automatically sense and check your skin. If it’s safe for you to use the

TRIA Laser, it will emit a series of beeps and unlock.

3. If the TRIA Laser does not unlock, then it may not be safe for you to use. Or, you may be using the Skin Sensor incorrectly and need to try again. To try again, lift the Skin

Sensor from your skin and follow steps 1 and 2 above. If you still aren’t able to unlock the TRIA Laser, contact Customer Care. When not in use for approximately five

minutes, the TRIA Laser will automatically lock.

Set the TRIA Laser to your comfort level

Refer to the Display Window to find the current treatment level. To increase the level of your treatment setting (Levels 1-5), press the Power Button. Each time you press the Power Button, the level will increase. Once the TRIA Laser is at Level 5, press the Power Button again to return to Level 1. For best results, choose the highest treatment level that you can tolerate.

how to use the TRIA Laser

1

Cleanse, shave and dry the treatment area thoroughly. Using the Power Button, choose the highest treatment level you can tolerate.

2

Touch the TRIA Laser’s Treatment Window to the area you wish to treat, making sure that it is flat against the skin. Hold the Treatment Window in place until you hear a beep. The beep signals that the laser has pulsed.

3

After the beep, lift and place the Treatment Window on the next area, making sure that it slightly overlaps the last area that you treated, as shown.

Please note: Always move the Treatment Window to a new area after you hear the TRIA Laser beep.

Failure to do so may result in discomfort or skin heating, which could cause skin injury.

or

lift-and-place glide

Continue treating in this two-step motion: Wait for the beep, and then place or glide the Treatment

Window to the next treatment area.

Please note: There are two ways to move the

Treatment Window to the next treatment area:

You may lift and place it onto the next treatment area at your own pace, or you may quickly glide it to the next treatment area and the laser will pulse automatically.

what to expect

For best results, treat twice a month for the first 3 months, and then once a month until you’re done.

What does a TRIA Laser treatment feel like?

The sensation varies, depending on the person and treatment area itself. Some feel a warm, prickling sensation. If you don’t feel anything during treatment, we recommend you increase a level until you’ve reached the highest setting that you can tolerate. It’s easy to customize your treatments, using its five comfort levels.

After your first treatment

There will be no visible change to the hair or the appearance of the skin. Shave between treatments, but don’t pluck or wax hair.

After 2 months

Hair growth will begin to lighten and become finer.

After 3 months

You will begin to see a visible reduction in the amount of re-growth, especially where hair growth is dense.

After 6-8 months

Hair follicles that have been disabled by the TRIA

Laser will not grow back.
