About Tria Beauty

Tria Beauty makes at-home hair removal devices and now sits within the group behind CurrentBody, trading from trialaser.co.uk after the brand changed hands. A Tria Beauty discount code is applied to a device that works on a physical principle with real limits, and those limits decide whether it will do anything for you at all.

Laser and IPL are not the same technology

A diode laser emits a single wavelength aimed at the pigment in the hair follicle. Intense pulsed light uses a broad spectrum of wavelengths and is generally gentler and less targeted. Both work by heating the pigment in the hair, which is the whole basis of the next section and the most important thing on this page.

It works on some hair and skin combinations only

Because the light targets melanin in the hair, it works best on dark hair and does very little on grey, white, red or very fair hair, where there is not enough pigment to absorb the energy. At the other end, very dark skin absorbs more of the light itself rather than the follicle, which risks burns and pigment changes, so devices publish a skin-tone chart with an upper limit. Check yourself against it honestly before buying: it is a safety limit, not a suggestion, and most devices carry a sensor that refuses to fire outside range.

Where it must not be used

Not over tattoos, moles or permanent make-up; not on or near the eyes or eyebrows; not on skin that is sunburnt, freshly tanned or treated with a self-tanner; and not by anyone pregnant or on medication that increases light sensitivity. Eye protection where the manual specifies it is not optional. If you have a skin condition or are unsure about a mole, that is a question for a GP or dermatologist rather than a purchase.

Treatment is a course, then maintenance

Hair grows in cycles, so a device works over repeated sessions weeks apart rather than in one go, and results are a reduction in regrowth rather than permanent removal. Top-up sessions carry on indefinitely. Anyone promising permanence is overselling it.

Using a Tria Beauty discount code

Add the code at checkout and check what the order comes to. Devices are frequently excluded from site-wide offers and sold instead at their own promotional price, so compare the two rather than assuming a code applies to the machine itself.
