Comparing Laser and Ipl Hair Removal
Comparing Laser and Ipl Hair Removal
When considering at-home hair removal, two technologies stand out above the rest: Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
Tria Hair Removal Lasers
Laser hair removal treatments are the leading technology in professional offices. Precise and effective, laser hair removal elevates hair reduction treatments. Proven to be successful in dermatologist, aesthetician and doctor office settings, Tria expertly captures this technology and brings it to you in the comfort of your home. If your natural hair color is light brown to black then Tria is the perfect solution for you. The dark pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the laser’s energy to disable the hair follicle and prevent it from regrowing.
Note: Hair color in one area can be darker or lighter than hair color in another area, so check the hair color in the area you wish to treat
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) + Radio Frequency (RF)
IPL and RF create an unparalleled duo in the at-home hair removal market for those who cannot use laser technology due to lighter hair color or skin tone. Traditionally, IPL has not worked on dark skin due to the broad spectrum of light. However, when IPL is combined with Radio Frequency (RF) the energies work in tandem to deliver effective hair reduction on all skin tones and the widest range of hair colors. This combination is patented and exclusively only used in IPL hair removal devices.
What are the differences between Tria Laser Hair Removal and IPL+RF Permanent Hair Reduction?
Technological Differences
Tria Laser Hair RemovalTria Laser Hair Removal devices use Diode Lasers to target your hair follicle. Diode Lasers produce a single spectrum of intensely concentrated pure light disabling the follicle’s ability to regrow hair. Effective and permanent, the laser is concentrated so you do not have to worry about heating or burning the surrounding skin. Designed to work on naturally light brown to black body hair and pale skin to moderate brown skin.
Intense Pulsed Light + Radio Frequency Permanent Hair ReductionIntense Pulsed Light (IPL), combined with Radio Frequency (RF) energies, safely heats and disables the hair follicle preventing hair regrowth. This powerful combination of the two energies uses gentle pulses to target the heated hair follicles, delivering permanent hair reduction on all skin tones, from the lightest to the darkest.

Do Either Hair Removal Technologies Cause Pain Or Discomfort?
Pain and/or discomfort are not common but will vary by user. Each device has different energy levels: 1-3 (IPL) or 1-5 (Tria). We recommend beginning each treatment at a low setting and working your way up to the highest energy level.
Tria Laser Hair RemovalTria Laser Hair Removal Devices are known to cause minor pricking sensations due to the deep penetration of the laser.
IPL + RF Permanent Hair ReductionDue to the gentle energies, IPL + RF are virtually painless. While gliding over the body, users may experience gentle warming sensations as the light reaches the follicle.
Are there any similarities between these two different technologies?
Cost Effectiveness
Professional Hair Removal is the “gold standard” but is expensive and requires multiple appointments at a doctor’s office. Both Tria Laser Hair Removal Devices and IPL + RF Permanent Hair Reduction Devices are cost effective alternatives and can be used in the privacy of your home. The beauty of having at-home devices is the ability to treat and touch up as needed - all on your own time at a fraction of the cost.
Do Each Of The Hair Removal Technologies Work On All Body Parts?
Both Tria and IPL Hair Reduction devices are safe for unwanted hair on women from cheek to toe and men from the shoulders down.
Hair Removal Vs. Hair Reduction
Tria Laser Hair RemovalTria Laser Hair Removal technology permanently reduces hair by powerfully penetrating deep into the hair follicle to prohibit regrowth. This is due to the concentrated beams of laser covering a small area with intense energy
IPL + RF Permanent Hair ReductionIPL + RF technology permanently reduces hair by gently delivering a broad spectrum of light over a large area of the skin. The hair follicle absorbs this gentle energy while simultaneously disabling hair regrowth.
