Hi Rachel,

Thanks for the question.

So before using the Tria laser (or any other laser hair/IPL removal device) you want to shave the area first. What I have found is that if I have missed a few hairs while shaving I experience more of the “burnt hair” smell, so effective shaving is the key to reducing this. Having said all that the “burnt hair” smell experienced with the Tria is much smaller than with other models.

There is no “pop” sound when using the Tria laser (there is a beep to tell you to move to the next treatment area), but I have experienced the “pop” when using some of the other IPL devices referenced in the review linked below.

Hope this helps.

Hi Livi,

Thanks for the question, unfortunately there is no way to mute the sound on the Tria Laser – I think it is there as an important safety feature.

Could you play some music while performing the treatment to drown it out? 🙂

Kind Regards,
Lisa

Hi Lori,

Thanks for the question.

Yes, the Tria laser is safe to use on the face and neck and will work effectively on the darker hairs.

Unfortunately, the peach fuzz is unlikely to respond to the laser treatment – electrolysis is very effective long term solution for stubborn lighter hairs.

Good luck, and I hope this helped.

Kind Regards,
Lisa
