I asked Tria, why ever day for 8 weeks and then 4 weeks rest and the ReAura is twice a week for 8 weeks?

Tria said:

I cannot really comment on usage of the ReAura and why their recommended treatment is twice a week for 8 weeks & ours is daily. Clinical trials proved this is the most effective for the Tria Laser (SRL), without the technical specification of the ReAura it would not be possible. I would not be privy to this. information. You all may be able to compare the following:

The Tria SRL wave length
Level 1 pulse energy - 5mj, 30 seconds
Level 2 pulse energy - 10mj one minute
Level 3 pulse energy - 12mj, 2.5 minutes

Regarding continuation of treatment after 8 weeks on & 4 weeks off, the USA teams added that customers should continue to use the SRL until they achieve the optimal results they are looking for. And of course advise they stick to the cycle of 8 weeks on and 4 weeks off with the 4 weeks off giving skin the time it needs to repair and build collagen.

That is very helpful information PQ.
Thanks!

Thanks for the info Philip - although I still don't understand the difference in frequency of use between the two devices. I can only presume that there is some difference in power output that we don't understand - I couldn't imagine using the ReAura every day, I think it would be too much.

Also the gel situation still confuses me because I'm pretty sure that they apply a gel when you have a salon treatment - that's been my experience anyway.

However, whatever the case, I think it's important that we follow the individual instructions applicable to the device that we are using.

I have tried it, and would not recommend it to anyone, my skin was permanently red/sore/dry.

Photoqueen I thought about pming you but I am sure I am not the only one with this question. I see you have a Stop device and I am thinking this would be a good addition to my arsenal.

Do you think this could be used on nontreatment days? or during the "resting" month?

If you think it is contraindicated when already using ReAura to stimulate collagen, I will save my money, but those before & after photos for Stop are very convincing! I am mainly interested in the lifting effect to boost the results of facial exercise.

Thanks!

Spoke too soon regarding minimal redness with the Tria, lol!

I was wondering why it seemed to hurt less and less, needed to clean the window and what a difference!! Still slightly reddened this am, able to cover with makeup though. Very Happy

- I wouldn't use the Stop on the rest days - you need to let the collagen grown again, and the RF will impede that process.

I would consider the RF device after a few repeat treatment of the ReAura. But don't combine them.

I would consider using a LED device, with infra-red to help to rebuild the collagen infrastructure and maybe take a collagen supplement too.

Double bonus - good advice that saves me money!
Thanx. I think Catski wanted to know this, too.

Is it true that the Tria internal battery only lasts 1 year? if so that's not very good value for money as apparently it cannot be replaced? does anyone know if the Philipps one lasts longer?

Yes, thankyou! I was wondering where my Stop device would fit in, if at all, actually. The plus side of it is that there is virtually no down time, and it gives rapid cosmetic improvement...quite good to use before an event, say.

But I am apprehensive of over loading my skin. Embarassed

Zelda, I must have missed that info, where did you find that out from, I hope it lasts longer than a year Sad

When I asked Tria how long the machine should last, they said 5 years.

free skin care · Sat Nov 17, 2012 11:09 am

It was on a review on the Shopping Channel the Canadian version, I must admit its put me off as maybe the Philipps one is a better product?

If that is true it hasn't been mentioned any other place and surely the company would put it in there information...I think I will call to clarify.....
Just got off the phone with the Tria customer service and there is NO battery replacement issue after a year. The battery is never replaced. The unit should last five years.

I dont know about this skin laser but I had/have tria hair removal laser and I didnt even use it much and the battery died after 2 years or may be even early.. Tria didn't even mention this to me when I bought it, for $1000 ( this was the price when it came out)!!! so pissed!

I had a thought, if you using the Tria to treat your face, you could in parallel be using the STOP on your neck, and lower jowl area, but avoiding any areas you are currently treating with the laser, just a thought, which I am going to try tonight too.

Thanks Toby so hopefully its not true it only last s for a year.... I did just wonder though if the Philipps being a good brand made a better product, I will wait for PQ's final review.

PQ,
What do you think about using the Stop during the four week rest time, or would that be disrupting the collagen that is being built?

I am a great believer in the layering of beauty treatments. But the Tria is basically sending beams of disruptive light into collagen layer of the skin for two months. The skin takes 4 weeks to replace the damaged collagen. So the four week rest is essential for the collagen to be replaced. But I will use red and infra LED during the rest period to help promote a good yield of collagen.

Sounds like a great plan to me, so glad you are here to guide us!

You are always welcome.

Anything topical, will be fine, as you aren't hitting the skin with heavy peels etc, but scrubs, microderm, collagen face packs, Vit C, all okay.

So you would not recommend LED after Tria ? For example, using Tria, applying serums, then LED?

I should then wait to use my LEDs at the 4 week rest period? Thanks again.

The original question was can I use my STOP during the 4 week rest period, I suggested you could use LED and Serums during the 4 week rest period and not the STOP, unless you use it on the neck, jowl area.

You can use your LED after the Tria, in fact red LED and IR LED will the recovery, as long as your device doesn't run too hot against the skin, the serums depends on what they are, and if they are going to make you skin dry or sensitive during the 8 week treatment period, so that is a personal thing you need to work out.

Since I use my ReAura on my face, neck, decolletage, forearms and hands on the same day twice weekly, stop is definitely not an option; lightbulb idea, I can now afford the Pose as I can't use the Stop.

In the end it really doesn't matter, I am thrilled with the laser results.
