Tria TSV presentation

hyacinth003 — Fri, 28 Mar 2014 13:58:35 GMT

I watched or listened to the entire presentation. I was moving around toward the end of it, so I may have missed a few words here or there.

I felt it was lacking for having a whole hour. I don't think enough explanation was given as to the science behind it.

Nor did I feel it really addressed its true uses. If you do a google search, you can see photos of fractional laser done by doctors. I wouldn't say this is an exact replica of what they can do. It can be really helpful for acne scarring. They just kept saying uneven skin. I don't know that this device is that powerful. They said 12 weeks of use was equivalent to 2 physician treatments.

Why only show 4 week before & after? Why not do 4, 8, 12 weeks?

I did not hear a description of what (if anything) it felt like to do it. Believe me, the laser hair removal treatment can really hurt sometimes! She said do it at night as your skin may become red. I would want to know what it feels like.

Just sounding excited didn't persuade me! I don't think I would really be helped much by it. They need to up their game on this one.

The only beauty-related machine I continue to use is my Clarisonic. It works! I know QVC needs to sell product, but nearly $500 (with shipping and tax) for a machine most people will stop using within months, or at most a year, is an obscenity in my opinion. Some might say I am judging too harshly, without using the product, but this is simply the flavor of the day ... Spend the money on something else! And don't look at the photoshopped model in the promo picture who is much younger than most of us are.

I'm there with you, Hyacinth.

I wasn't very impressed and don't think it would address my needs. Sounds like light chemical peels would do the same thing the Tria promises without the time commitment.

I'm passing on this TSV.

I think a fractional laser is quite impressive.

I don't think I would benefit much from it, as I don't have fine lines. I am going to spend the money on Botox for my hated 11's!

I think they were being super cautious on this one. They need to talk more science and show more photos.

Oh, the model is in her 20's, and that is ridiculous. Unless she had bad acne scarring, it wouldn't do anything.

Something is missing on their presentation.

Hi hyacinth003 - looks like it heats the dermis (which is the deepest lower level of the skin). So you just feel heat -

I did a YouTube search of this to see demo's w w w . youtube.com/watch?v=G4rQi2R-aTc

This gal brings you thru 8 weeks - from 1st time use to 12 weeks -

The Palovia works like the Professional Fractional Laser at the Dr office NOT as strong or deep of course - but makes the stamp blocks and the tiny holes

I'm not sure why the gal presenting the Tria device is saying it is like Fractional Laser ...???

I also think they should have 8 & 12 week before & after pictures AND it would help too, to have maybe 6 months out.......

Mary Beth just said that it hurts a lot. I agree though, I wish they would do a little better job of explaining WHY it works (we gals can handle a little science!). I have to say though, I find the Tria rep very pleasant and not annoying.

I have been using Light Stim, purchased when it was a TSV, with good results. I like it because it does not require use of any products to use. I have seen some results related to tightening of my skin resulting in lifting the area above the eye. It does require an investment of time, for me close to an hour, as I work it around my face. Have been using since beginning of month so will be interested to see how I look after 90 days. For this reason, not interested in this TSV. I have no pain or discomfort using Light Stim.

Gad she was honest about it! I was glad to hear her say that.

I think they would have sold more by not including the cleanser and serum and lowering the price. We all have plenty of cleansers and serums! I have the Pavlovia and wonder how Tria is different.

I totally agree! It's not that great a deal for the item itself retail value plus shipping and tax. Would much rather lower price and no extras.

I think Mary Beth is one of the best presenters on the Q. She honestly said the thing hurts. The rep was very pleasant too but the demo on one of the models showed how red it made her face. The last thing I need is something that causes redness and besides, the reviews I have read elsewhere on this laser aren't all that favorable.

They may show only an after 4 week picture because the clinical study they did ended after only 4 weeks or because there wasn't any other significant improvement beyond that in their study. A number of the reviews that I saw on other sites indicated there had been some issues with the charging base not working although the company replaced it (according to one review it needed to be replaced 3 times).

There are several PDF files and a lot of info under the description section on the site here if you want to find out more.

It is too expensive for me plus the before and after picture doesn't seem to me to show that much of an improvement.

I am with you. This morning when I was using my clarisonic I thought this is all I need with all the lotions and serums I use. Aging will happen what can we do. This machine will not get the use that is needs in my hands so its a must pass for me.

I already use a derma wand and a light machine on a regular basis... do I need one more thing to throw into the mix???

The rep stated during the midnight presentation that it "does tingle" but she had one of those smiles that told me she was under-stating the sensation.

I have better things to spend $500 on, but more power to those of you who want to give it a try. I hope it works well for you.

I agree... I do not see any difference with the before and after.

The vendor needs a little Botox for the lines on her forehead

the bags under her eyes and the lines at the side of her mouth.

She is a beautiful woman...

She said the Tria for wrinkles hurts alot?? I wonder why it would hurt?

I may hold off. I am quite pleased with my current Paloiva, chemical peels, hydraquinone, and Retin-A regime. I'm saving my money for botox/fillers.

Yes, MB said it during the TSV presentation. She backed off of that a little later in the show, but she said something like "you really feel it...I'm just putting that out there...it hurts". The rep said the usual "everyone's skin is different." Don't know why it would hurt, because they never really explained how it works in the first place.

PaloVia hurt me a lot and I tolerate pain well. Also made me very swollen so I could not use it much. I returned it.
