New Tria Laser Review

New Tria

The new Tria boasts a quicker pulse rate, however it is the time taken removing the Tria from one area to the next that delays the process.  Also the Tria’s previous pulse rate was already extremely fast at less than a second.

The new Tria treatment area is identical to the old and works in much the same way.  However it does have an improved battery that can perform 300 shots per charge with a total of 300 charging cycles.  This is a total of 90,000 shots which is nearly 30 thousand more shots than the existing Tria. A more in-depth technical specification can be gained from reading the instruction manual which can be downloaded in PDF from here, (pending link).

The additional pulses with the new Tria subsequently increase the total area that can be treated during its lifetime before becoming obsolete.  The new instruction booklet with the new Tria explains the treatment differently by saying that approximately 25 shots are needed for an area 1 inch x 1 inch (or 2.5cm x 2.5cm). This would indicate that the newer Tria needs slightly less shots per area than before. However this is not specified and is unclear due to the amount of overlapping that is required when using the Tria device.

It seems that the new Tria takes the same number of shots to treat an area that the old one did.  The total area that can be treated with the additional number of shots per charge increases the total treatment area to a square approximately 127cm x 127cm. (This is an approximation).  Although this area is reasonably impressive it is unfortunate that once a Tria has completed its 300 charging cycles it cannot be used any more. This alongside being one of the most expensive home laser hair removal products indicates that either the Silk’n with its larger treatment area, no overlapping and endless lifetime or Rio x 60 would be a more sensible purchase.
