Our History
TRIA Beauty is born
The inventors of the LightSheer™, the gold standard for in-office laser hair removal provided by physicians, start TRIA Beauty (formerly known as SpectraGenics).
Their goal: to transform the LightSheer (which weighed in at a whopping 120 pounds and cost $100,000) into a handheld laser small and easy enough for at-home use, and capable of delivering the same permanent results.
