Before using the Tria, it must be charged and then the owner must call Tria to “activate” the unit before using the first once. Once activated, the unit will not need to be reactivated again.
Quite frankly, the activation process is no big deal. It is mostly a way for Tria to register each unit and to ensure that the user has in fact read all of the instructions or watched the DVD or both.
Once activated, I did go ahead with the registration and allowed the service rep to run through the tips and pointers once again.
A few basic tips:
a) In order to operate the Tria, the user has to do a skin check. The enclosed sensor will test the skin and then turn on the machine if the skintone passes. There is a picture with a skintone scale to give you an idea. Skin that is too dark or tanned will absorb light and may burn.
b) Pale skin/dark hair is the recommendation for use. Red, blonde, white, or gray hair will not absorb enough light to be affected by the laser.
c) You must shave any area before treating it. The closer the shave, the better!
I’m interested in one of these units. I’m unfortunatley not very technical and the whole activation thing already has me wondering if I’m going to need help with it and that’s before I evern start using it. What does the activation/unlocking involve?

What if you wax the area instead of a close shave?
