Tria Beauty

I am on my second unit and will buy another 3 or 4 years from now when this is used up. I have paid a great deal for professional laser skin tightening and, when used often and properly, this works exceptionally well. I do recommend paying for a couple of professional sessions so you know how it feels, how it works and what to look for.

I'm redoing this review as I definitely spoke too soon in regards to its effectiveness. During the first week there seemed to be noticeable improvement on the fine lines around my eyes, but sadly the longer I used it the worse my skin seemed to get, I understand that your skin is supposed to start getting dry and flakey as your skin exfoliates and then after a few weeks it becomes soft again and the wrinkles begin to reduce. HOWEVER, this was not the case for me and my skin stayed dry and flakey, along with causing breakouts (to be expected since I have acne prone skin) and some skin damage on my cheeks and forehead so I stopped using it to allow my skin to recover. Once my skin had healed itself I noticed that my pores were more visible, the damaged skin on my cheeks looked slightly puckered like aged smokers skin and several of my fine lines were deeper than they were prior to using the Tria laser. Fortunately, the damage on my cheeks is gradually reducing with the help of collagen supplements and Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence gel, but the fine lines around my eyes are still more noticeable than they were before, I suspect it's gonna take botox or filler to reduce their appearance now. Overall I'm glad I didn't use the Tria laser for the full cycle, I dread to think how much more damage it could've done to my skin!

I've had my Tria for about two years. It works. But a regular commitment of time and tolerance of some pain is required to make it work. I learned after a few false starts that I had to follow the treatment directions to the letter to see results. But that's no different than making a bunch of appointments with the dermatologist, and it's cheaper and more convenient. The only gripe I have is that two small cracks developed in the housing near the top of the device. Very strange, as I always keep it in its box when not in use, and I've never dropped it. The cracks don't affect operation, but it's disappointing to see in such an expensive device. So minus one lippie for that.
