My 8 Week Experience Using TRIA Eye Wrinkle Correcting Laser

This post is brought to you by Tria Beauty via Pretty in My Pocket. All opinions are my own.

Testing out beauty products is one of my favorite things about blogging. And I really get into it. I'm talking notes, charts, spreadsheets, pics, sometimes even petri dishes...whatever it takes to give YOU the best review I can. And today's post is 8 weeks in the making.

As I get older, I become more and more concerned about my wrinkles, wrinkles that are there from sun damage, from not having a skin care routine when I was younger, and from having dry skin.

I had a chance to try out the TRIA Eye Wrinkle Correcting Laser, and I was so glad I did. I'd never used any sort of laser treatment before, and didn't know what to expect.

If you've been following my blog's Facebook page (click here to see) you've seen my weekly progress. For those who haven't, let's get caught up! Today I will share my experience over the past 8 weeks.

What is it?

TRIA Eye Wrinkle Correcting Laser smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, smoothes skin, and delivers a radiant, more youthful complexion around the eyes by the use of fractional non-ablative laser technology. Non ablative simply means that the wavelength of the laser heat up the water in the skin tissue, causing a stimulation of the creation of new collagen. 

Is it safe?

The Tria Eye Wrinkle Correcting Laser is FDA cleared for home use and is designed to specifically treat the fine lines around the eyes. It is made for ALL skin types and tones.

How do you use it?

Move in small circles in the eye area for 1 minute per eye area, per day. It shuts off when your time is up. Full directions can be found here.

Does it hurt?

Lasers feel like a rubber band snap on your skin. It’s not painful. The first time it was a little uncomfortable, almost like a sunburn. I found that by keeping it moving, it didn't bother me at all.  I got used to it.

Tips:

• Don't expect overnight results. It will take a few weeks.
• Your skin may be tender.
• Make sure you use the aftercare cream (like the one pictured above) and apply an SPF of at least 30 everyday.
• Your skin will redden and/or shed/peel in the areas that the laser is actively working to stimulate collagen and elastin - it means it’s working. Mine didn't peel, but it was red the first time I used it.
• I love to do treatments on my skin (like peels and scrubs), but I completely avoided anything near my eye area during the treatment period.

Overall: 

I don't have huge wrinkles, but they are there, and by using my Tria, I can definitely see where they are now gone or smoothed out. I was really impressed with my results, especially since there was so little effort involved to get them! Only 1 minute per day, y'all.
