The Tria laser is a home care device. Primarily what it's good at is heating the water in the skin so that the skin plumps a bit and makes products absorb better, which makes your skin look better. While it's a nice treatment for home use in the sense that it is good if you travel a lot or can't get in for medical laser treatments all the time, it cannot be compared to the strength of medical grade lasers done in a physician's office. It's a very nice compliment to these though. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
