INTRODUCTION
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
NEW TRIA LASER PRECISION
The Tria Hair Removal Laser Precision gives you permanent results
at home, unlike temporary solutions such as shaving and waxing.
The Tria Laser Precision works in the same way as professional laser
hair removal. It treats the hair follicle, not just the hair, giving you
permanent hair reduction after a series of treatments.
LET’ S GET STARTED!

HOW DOES LASER
HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
The Tria Laser Precision deactivates the
follicles in your skin that produce hair. It
emits a pulse of laser light, which heats
up the dark pigment inside the hair and
deactivates the hair follicle. That’s why it
can deliver permanent results and works
only on naturally brown or black hair.
To be most effective, the Tria Laser
Precision needs to treat each hair follicle
during its active growth period. Hair
grows in cycles, so multiple treatments
are necessary. For best results, treat
every two weeks for up to 3 months or
until you are satisfied with the amount
of hair reduction.

WHAT THE TRIA LASER PRECISION IS USED FOR
(INDICATIONS)
WHO SHOULD NOT USE THE TRIA LASER
PRECISION (CONTRAINDICATIONS)
The Tria Hair Removal Laser Precision
is used to remove unwanted hair. It is
an over-the-counter system intended
for adjunctive use with shaving for
hair removal sustained with periodic
treatments. It is also intended for
permanent reduction in hair regrowth
defined as long-term, stable reduction
in the number of hairs regrowing when
measured out to 6, 9 and 12 months after
the completion of the treatment regimen.
6
It is intended for use only on light to
medium skin tones (see the Skin Tone
Chart on the inside front cover) and
naturally brown or black hair. It will not
work on white, grey, blonde, or red hair.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
if your skin tone matches one listed as
“Not Safe” on the Skin Tone Chart on
the inside front cover of this booklet.
If you use the Tria Laser Precision on skin
“Not Safe” for treatment, the skin may
absorb too much laser light and be
injured (burned, discolored, or scarred).
PLEASE NOTE: The skin sensor is a
safety feature that unlocks the Tria Laser
Precision. If it is not safe for you to use
the Tria Laser Precision, you won’t be
able to unlock it with the skin sensor.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
if you are under the age of 18 or use
it on anyone else under the age of 18.
The use of the Tria Laser Precision
on or by children has not been studied
and could result in serious injury.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
if you have a lighter hair color, such
as blonde, white, red or grey. In order
for the laser to work, you must have
naturally dark hair where you are
treating. Lighter hair pigments will not
absorb enough of the laser's energy
to disable the hair follicle.

WARNINGS
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
on or around the eyes, eyebrows, or
eyelashes. Doing so can cause permanent
eye injury.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
if the Skin Tone Chart shows that your skin
tone is not suitable. If you have African,
Indian, Native American or Pacific Island
heritage, you may have a skin tone that
is not suitable—be sure to check the Skin
Tone Chart. Darker skin tones can absorb
too much laser light, which can injure
the skin.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
anywhere on the ears, nipples, genitals or
around the anus. These areas may have
more sensitive skin, a darker skin tone,
and/or a greater hair density, and using
the Tria Laser Precision there may cause
serious skin injury.
8
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
on parts of your skin that are darker than
your usual skin tone: tattoos, dark brown
or black spots (such as large freckles,
birthmarks or moles), or skin that is red
or swollen from a previous treatment.
Dark skin may absorb too much laser
light, which can injure the skin.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
on a man’s face, jaw or neck. The hair
in a man’s beard area is too dense, and
using the Tria Laser Precision in these
areas may result in skin injury.
Hair removal by laser can cause
increased hair growth in some individuals.
Based upon currently available data, the
highest risk groups for this response are
females of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern
and South Asian heritage treated on the
face and neck.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
on damaged skin, including open
wounds, cold sores, sunburns or areas
where you have had a skin peel or other
skin resurfacing procedure within the
last 6–8 weeks (check with your doctor).
These conditions can make the skin
more susceptible to injury.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
The Tria Laser Precision has not been
tested on pregnant women. Hormonal
changes could increase skin sensitivity
and the risk of skin injury.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
if it appears damaged, and DO NOT
attempt to open or repair the Tria Laser
Precision. These actions increase the
risk of skin or eye injury. Please contact
Customer Care for assistance.
Always follow basic safety
precautions for electrical devices:
DO NOT get the Tria Laser Precision
or the charger damp or wet. DO NOT
use the Tria Laser Precision while
bathing or put it next to a tub or sink.
DO NOT operate a charger with a
damaged plug or cord. ALWAYS keep
the cord away from heated surfaces.
Failure to follow these precautions can
cause electrocution or electric shock.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
for any purpose other than hair removal.
The Tria Laser Precision is for
personal use. The Tria Laser Precision
is not for use in a medical office, clinic,
salon or other commercial setting.
DO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision
on any area where you may someday
want your hair to grow back. The results
may be permanent and irreversible.

BENEFITS AND RISKS
Laser Radiation. Do Not View
Directly with Optical Instruments. Class
1M Laser Product.
Viewing the laser output with certain
optical instruments (for example eye
loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes)
within a distance of 100 mm may pose
an eye hazard.

A medically supervised clinical study
has shown that the Tria Laser Precision
is safe and works when used as directed.
Seventy-nine (79) users performed a
6-week course of treatment
(3 treatments) and all side effects
were observed. The number of hairs
at each treatment site was counted
before each treatment and at 1, 2, 3, 6,
and 12 months after the last treatment.
No additional treatments were
performed after the third treatment.
BENEFITS
When used as directed, the Tria Laser
Precision gives you permanent results.
The results vary from person to person
and depend on which body area is
treated and how closely treatment
instructions are followed. The clinical
study demonstrated the following
benefits:
• 61% average reduction in hair count
3 weeks after the first treatment
• 70% average reduction in hair count
3 weeks after the second treatment
• 60% average reduction in hair count
1 month after the third treatment
• 6% average reduction in hair count
3 months after the third treatment
• 33% average reduction in hair count
12 months following the third treatment
In the study, 69 of 79 users (87%)
reported finer hair at 1 month after the
last treatment than before any treatment.
And 55 of 79 users (70%) reported
lighter hair at 1 month after the last
treatment than before any treatment.
These results were obtained with only
3 treatments. For best results, treat
every 2 weeks for 3 months or until
you are satisfied with the amount of
hair reduction.
RISKS
It is important to use the Tria Laser
Precision properly. Make sure that you
understand and follow all warnings
(see page 8). The skin sensor will prevent
use of the device on contraindicated skin
types (see page 7).
If you use the Tria Laser Precision as
directed, the risks are low:
• In the clinical study, almost all users
reported mild to moderate pain or
discomfort during their first treatment,
with a reduction in sensitivity reported
in their later treatments. This is normal.
You may feel warmth, burning, tingling
or itching; some users described feeling
the same level of discomfort as when
a rubber band snaps against the skin.
If the pain is too intense or persists after
a treatment, stop using the Tria Laser
Precision and check with your doctor
before using it again.
