Hallelujah!

Okay, If the iPhone is the "Jesus" phone. This is the "Jesus" razor. Well okay, so technically it's a laser.
 Avid readers of my journal will be well aware of my personal war on every hair follicle below my eyelashes. So far I have spent thousands of dollars on that war. I've made progress and won a few battles, but I've still got a ways to go.

The one thing that makes me a little apprehensive is that the "after" photo looks to me like a photograph of an equally stubbly armpit that has just been blurred. If it works, more to the awesome. But $1400 is a loooot of money.

Interestingly enough, that's what it looks like a day or two after treatment. The way it works is, you get "zapped"...the hair goes away. After a week or two, it grows back. (seemingly just as thick as before) Then you zap it again at higher power. After you've done this three or four times, you DEFINITELY notice a difference.
I just checked my skin care therapist's site, and a packackage of full arm treatments (five treatments) is $1375. So it's actually much less than I thought it would be, but still, when you factor in leg and "other" treatments, you still save quite a bit of money with the Tria.
...Of course, this is brand new, as well. Give it a year or two and I'm sure somebody else will come out with the same thing, but cheaper. :)

I would wonder if there is any risk of ingrown hairs with the Tria.

If it's the same technology as the laser my skin care therapist uses, there really isn't any risk. I used to get an ingrown hair or two when I shaved, but as I got treatments, that happened less and less.

Do the hairs ever go away permanently or do they eventually always grow back?

[mirandakali]

They are pretty much gone for good (with the exception of a few invisible fuzzies), after five or six treatments.
