What is Lyma laser technology?
With the Lyma laser, it's the very first time that a laser of such power can be used outside a clinic, without heating and without any risk of skin damage, for an effect 100 times more effective than LED lamps. Inspired by aesthetic medicine, the Lyma laser combines cutting-edge technology and the rigor of science with the genius of nature. The LYMA laser is a class 1, low-level LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy) laser. This technique uses low-power lasers or laser diodes to stimulate biological processes in the body.
Unlike lasers used for surgery or ablation, LLLT lasers do not heat or destroy tissue. LLLT lasers stimulate the cell's mitochondria (energy factories), increasing cellular energy production, helping toaccelerate tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
It acts on both levels of the skin's aging process:
Intrinsically: the laser is able to reach deep into the base layer of the dermis, where light energy triggers a genetic switch inside skin cells, telling them not to die, but to recharge, regenerate and repair. The destruction of healthy skin cells is reversed.
Extrinsically : LYMA laser light energy also asks existing cells to produce more proteins to fight free radicals. Fewer free radicals means more collagen and elastin.
Lyma's story: a desire to change the beauty industry
Shortly after the birth of her daughter in 2012, Lucy Goff became seriously ill. She spent six weeks in hospital battling sepsis, but the doctors were convinced there was no hope of recovery. Terrified, she ends up consulting several leading doctors, each of whom prescribes large cocktails of drugs. Nothing changed, and Lucie's condition worsened. That's when she decided to turn to dietary supplements, but still with no improvement.
In the end, it was a chance meeting with Dr. Paul Clayton, a world authority on the prevention of degenerative diseases, that completely changed his life.
He prescribes Lucy a new protocol using patented, peer-reviewed ingredients. These are dosed to active levels, undergo a rigorous sourcing procedure and are formulated to be easily bio-assimilated. Within weeks, Lucy felt like herself again. Within months, she feels better than ever.
The experience was so transformative that Lucy decided to found LYMA. A company committed to delivering powerful innovations to set new standards. Today, LYMA lasers (and skincare) are changing the lives of millions of people around the world, helping them to unlock their potential, look and feel their best.
Lucy's mission is to put the power to change our lives in our hands.
Dr Paul Clayton, the brand's Scientific Director, soon joined forces with Lucy Goff and Dr Graeme Glass, LYMA's Director of Aesthetics. Together, they built a new skincare philosophy.
What is the difference between Laser Lyma and LEDs?
LEDs (light-emitting diodes) and LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy) are both used in photobiomodulation, but they differ significantly in terms of technical characteristics and applications. LEDs emit non-aligned, non-directional light with a slightly broader spectrum, whereas lasers emit aligned, directional, monochromatic light (narrow spectral band). Effective for superficial applications, LEDs act on the surface of the skin and are best suited for superficial treatments over larger areas (to treat skin rejuvenation, acne, stimulate collagen production or reduce superficial inflammation such as redness), but the scattering of light limits their effectiveness in deeper tissues. Thanks to its directionality, the Laser reaches deeper tissue layers, making it a preferred choice for treating joint pain, muscle injuries or stimulating deep cellular repair.
