The Lyma Laser is everywhere these days, folks! If you haven’t seen it popping up on your social media feeds yet, just wait because it’s coming. This trendy little gadget is all the rage in the world of beauty right now, with tons of celebrities swearing by its magical skin-transforming powers. Whether you’re chilling at home or on the move, the Lyma Laser promises to zap away wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and basically give you the flawless skin of your dreams. And the best part? No needles or bulky LED masks required!
Launched in 2020, the standard Lyma Laser with an 8-cm² treatment lens has been making waves. But hold on to your seats because the bigger and badder Lyma Laser PRO just hit the scene in the US, boasting a 30-cm² treatment lens for both face and body treatments. Celebs like Hailey Bieber and Carey Mulligan are already singing its praises, with Hailey using it to prep for the Met Gala and Carey gifting herself one for the Oscars. With all the positive buzz online, I couldn’t resist trying it out on my tired mom skin. I mean, who doesn’t want to glow like a goddess, right?
So, here’s the scoop on the Lyma Laser: Lucy Goff, a former journalist, is the brains behind this FDA-cleared, clinical-grade laser for at-home use. Originally developed as a medical laser to heal injuries like torn tendons and respiratory inflammation, it was discovered that the laser did wonders for the skin too. And just like that, the Lyma Laser was born. But brace yourselves, beauty lovers, because this high-tech miracle worker comes with a hefty price tag. At the time of writing, the standard Lyma Laser will set you back $2,695, while the souped-up Lyma Laser PRO is a cool $5,995. A small price to pay for flawless skin, right?
Alright, so let’s talk about my 12-week journey with the Lyma Laser. The device itself is a game-changer, using a 500-milliwatt “cold-laser” beam to work its magic on your skin. You can either glide it across your face and neck or hold it in place on problem areas for three minutes at a time. It comes in a fancy black box with all the bells and whistles, including a USB charging dock, cleansing sponges, and a 30-day supply of Lyma Oxygen Mist and Oxygen Glide. Plus, you get a copper membership card to join the LYMA Power Circle for consultations and classes. Fancy, right?
Before diving in, I hopped on a Zoom call with the Lyma Concierge, a service they offer to all customers. The rep (with skin to die for) gave me the lowdown on how to get started. For the first 12 weeks, I divided my face into sections and zapped away for three minutes per section. I could also target specific areas for a quick fix. After the initial 12 weeks, I was advised to use it four times a week. The rep promised me a glow after just a week, with more significant changes like reduced wrinkles and firmer skin after 12 weeks. Excited but nervous, I charged up the device, slathered on the Oxygen Mist and Glide, and got to work with the laser.
The first week was a breeze, and I loved the ritual of using the laser wherever I found myself—bed, TV, kitchen, you name it. Unlike LED masks I’ve tried before, the Lyma Laser works its magic at a deeper level, penetrating the skin to boost cell energy. Super discreet and easy to use, you can even zap away under makeup. The gel was a bit sticky for my liking, so I wiped it off after each session. By the second month, I switched to my regular face creams and oils, which seemed to do the trick just fine. And if you run out of the Oxygen Mist and Glide, replacement bottles are available for a neat $175. So, is the Lyma Laser worth the investment? Well, you’ll have to try it yourself to find out!
