The usual Lyma Laser (with 8-cm² therapy lens) was launched in 2020, whereas the bigger, extra enhanced Lyma Laser PRO model with a 30-cm² therapy lens for each face and physique has simply dropped stateside. And the A-listers are loving it. Hailey Bieber is reported to make use of the Lyma Laser as a part of her pre-Met Gala pores and skin prep to get glowing outcomes, whereas Carey Mulligan purchased one as an Oscars current to herself, praising its effectiveness at fading a scar between her eyes. With such constructive suggestions on-line, I used to be eager to check out the Lyma Laser on my drained mom-life pores and skin, as who doesn’t need flawless-looking pores and skin?
The Lyma is not like anything available on the market. Based by former journalist Lucy Goff, the Lyma Laser is the primary FDA-cleared, clinical-grade beauty laser for dwelling use. The expertise was initially developed as a medical laser in a analysis unit to heal accidents reminiscent of degenerated cartilage, torn tendons, and respiratory irritation. However one constructive aspect impact was observed: Because the laser reached the broken tissue inside, it visibly remodeled the pores and skin and reversed the indicators of getting old. And so Lyma was born. However this high-tech spec comes at a value.

Eager to see if I may discover a visual enchancment to my complexion, I attempted the Lyma Laser on my face for 12 weeks.
Merely Glide or Maintain
The transportable cordless Lyma Laser is completely different from something I’ve tried earlier than. It makes use of a 500-milliwatt “cold-laser” beam at a wavelength of 808 nanometers (close to infrared) to advertise mobile regeneration throughout 8 sq. centimeters of pores and skin. To make use of the laser, you merely glide the tip throughout the contours of your face and neck or maintain it in place in an issue space for 3 minutes at a time.
The gadget is available in an opulent black field, full with its personal USB charging dock, data booklet, cleaning sponges, a carry pouch, and a 30-day provide of the Lyma Oxygen Mist and Oxygen Glide, that are designed to work alongside the laser to optimize outcomes. A copper membership card can also be included so you possibly can activate your guarantee and be part of the LYMA Energy Circle, a members’ portal for consultations and lessons.
Earlier than I began utilizing the Lyma Laser, I jumped on a Zoom name with the Lyma Concierge, which is a service the model provides to all its clients. The Lyma consultant (with superbly flawless pores and skin) provided recommendation to get me began. She recommended that for the primary 12 weeks, I divide my face into 4 sections and glide the laser throughout every part for 3 minutes at a time. I may additionally merely place the laser over downside areas for a couple of minutes. After 12 weeks, she recommended dropping right down to utilizing the laser 4 instances per week. After only a week, I ought to count on to see an instantaneous glow, however with constant use for 12 weeks and extra, I ought to be capable to see extra important adjustments to my wrinkles, pores and skin elasticity, crow’s toes, and jowls. Feeling somewhat self-conscious however excited to get going, I charged the gadget for 4 hours, utilized the Oxygen Mist and Glide (containing lively stabilized oxygen) to my pores and skin, and set to work with the laser.
Noticeable Leads to One Week
My first week utilizing the laser was novel, and I loved the ritual of washing my face, making use of the gel, and utilizing the laser wherever I used to be—in mattress, in entrance of the TV, and even within the kitchen whereas ready for the kettle to boil. I’ve tried LED face masks up to now, and whereas each are designed to enhance pores and skin, the Lyma laser makes use of a unique expertise than the LED face masks, which makes use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to penetrate the pores and skin on a shallow stage, sometimes reaching the dermis and higher dermis. The Lyma’s near-infrared laser penetrates extra deeply, reaching the hypodermis, being absorbed by the mitochondria, and boosting cell power.
I like how discreetly you should use this laser. It may conveniently be used each below or over make-up. Whereas it’s good to go away the gel on for so long as attainable to get the total moisturizing advantages, I discovered it too sticky, so I eliminated it after every session.
Whereas utilizing the laser, I made positive to not apply stress or pull the pores and skin and labored my manner throughout my facial lymphatic system to “drain out toxins.” In my second month, when the gel had run out, I used to be joyful to modify to utilizing my common face lotions and facial oil, which I believe labored simply as effectively with the laser. Substitute bottles of the 40-milliliter Oxygen Mist and 50-milliliter Oxygen Glide are bought in pairs for $175.
