A few things have happened since Tria, the at-home laser hair-removal gadget, came on the market. First, the economy tanked, which may explain why Tria's price went from $995 to $795. Second, I've had almost a year to give it a whirl (full disclosure: Tria's PR team sent a trial unit for me to use).

Radiation Therapy Complications
- Radiation therapy in children with cancer increases the risk of new brain and spinal cord tumors, suggests a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The risk appears to increase along with the radiation dosage. Children who receive radiotherapy before age 5 are especially at risk for second primary tumors.
- Survivors of childhood brain tumors who received cranial radiotherapy as part of their treatment are at risk for later having a stroke, indicates a study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Along with regular waxing services, Stript offers Epilar, an add-on service that promises to permanently reduce hair regrowth.

A study published in 2007 in the New England Journal of Medicine compared these treatment approaches. The study suggested that UAE results in shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time, but a small percentage of women may later need repeat embolization or a hysterectomy.

Ok, so this is definitely not the most pleasant subject to discuss on a Saturday morning, but let's just call it what it is —girly coffee talk!
Ingrown hairs hurt, they're unsightly to look at as they tend to get red and bumpy and everyone (yes everyone) gets them. I unfortunately have a bad habit of poking and picking at them until I get the trapped hair out.
