Unwanted Hair
Summer is especially the time to get rid of unwanted hair. Tria Beauty uses laser technology that target the dark pigments in the hair and releases heat. As pigments absorb the heat, hair follicles are inflamed and disabled, preventing hair from growing back.

Permanently reduces hair in as little as 6 months. Lust-Have Price: $395.00 (www.triabeauty.com)
