Laser Hair Removal for Home

Here is the first FDA approved Hand-Held Laser Hair Removal system for home and personal users. This system introduced by TRIA Beauty and will be available at selected retailers in US in fall 2008.

According to TRIA Beauty: "Consumers are actively seeking out the TRIA laser so they can enjoy the results of laser hair removal in the privacy and comfort of their own home, at their convenience".

This system is designed for anyone with light to medium skin tones and dark hair. A proprietary skin sensor "unlocks" the system once it confirms the user's skin can be treated. Waves of energy target the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin untouched.

In order to achieve optimal results, it must be used once a month for 6-8 treatments. The most popular areas for treatment are underarms, bikini, legs, arms and backs. The price will be around 995 USD. If you are in UK, you can buy this right now for £695.00

This is an interesting statistic we found on TRIA website: Based on national averages, a woman can expect to spend between £1,500 and £4,500 for hair-free underarms, bikini line, upper lip and chin over the next ten years.

Wondering how it was approved by FDA, considering all these dangerous side-effects of laser hair removal in market. It must be a very light version!!
