Can you tell an untechnie what a PAL is?
Humbly,

It's been a week since I tried Tria and so far I have bald spots on my bikini line and no obvious change to my armpits. I didn't overlap like the instructions said, so I probably would have gotten better results on my bikini line. Thanks to my deodorant, I have dry flakey skin on my armpits, so that could be why it doesn't appear to have worked there. I'm going to go without deodorant for a week and try it again. Pity the people within 10 feet of me.

It's been a couple of weeks since I used Tria on my bikini line and it looks like it's about 75% bald in the area that got treated. Considering that I didn't overlap, that's pretty good.
I lasered my lower legs about a week ago and I've got some bald spots, some pepper spots, and some areas that appear to still be growing. Since my bikini line had a fair amount of hair that continued to grow but is now gone, I'm hopeful.
I tried lasering my underarms again Monday, and today I see some bald spots. I'm pretty relieved because this is the area I most wanted Tria to work on. I was using Adidas cottonTech+ for women which made my armpits super dry and flakey. I'm pretty sure that's why Tria didn't work on me the first time.
After reading some things here, I'm pretty sure my one experience with a laser pro wasn't right, so I can't say how Tria compares to a professional machine. So far, it appears to be doing its job, but I have a feeling that a good pro would be more efficient.

What kind of skin type do you have Melissa? Does this machine work for skin type 3? They say light skin to avoid being sued, but if it is a diode I wonder if one can try on using it on skin type 3 (at least in ares where you don't mind risking some pigment change).

Melissa is there way to talk to you through IM or mail (just to keep a conversation) I am really interested in tria, and if you say it has been 2 weeks since your treatment and you are still 75% bald, well that is _REALLY_ awesome. I don't mind if it is not permanent, as long as it takes more then 3 weeks to grow back. I tried waxing. IT grew back after 1 week. I am pretty hairy though.

You can PM me, if you want. It's taking a few weeks for the hair to fall out so, I've been shaving every few days. I think Tria has a bit of a learning curve, so I'll probably be more enthusiastic about it in a few months. Overlaping takes some patience but then so does driving in rush hour traffic then waiting for 45 minutes in a lobby.  If you have a lot of areas to treat, then I think Tria's worth trying.

Hi all, Mind if I butt in? I have also just bought a Tria and used it for the first time yesterday. Like another poster here mentioned, Im not looking for a permanent solution but if Tria keeps my 'problem' away for at least a month before I have to use it again I would be happy. I have always been pretty hairy, especially on my legs, although since having my two children, the hair on my legs started to fall out and now my legs are what I consider to be 'normal' hairy legs. However the area on either side of my chin bone went the opposite way during my pregnancies and thick black hairs sprouted there which I have to attend to everyday. I was at the end of my tether so I bought the Tria mostly to deal with that area. With two small children in tow, I just dont have time to go to a laser hair removal salon, and after trying EVERYTHING else on the market, this is my last resort. I will also report back after a month and tell you all if I see any improvement. As long as Tria either keeps the hairs at bay for a month at least, or if the hair come back lighter and finer, I will be satisfied. Fingers crossed!
