Have you reviewed the Lyma pro Laser
Hi, no I haven’t reviewed the Lyma Pro – the PR asked me if I was interested in it, and I said yes, only to be told they suddenly had no samples available.
Here’s what I’ve said before about the Lyma before:
Yes I have tried the Lyma ‘laser’ but I’m not a fan – I used it every night for months on end in spring 2021 (on one side of one wrinkle on my neck, and on the knuckles of my left hand, as advised by the brand founder,) without getting any results.
My laser-manufacturer acquaintances laugh at it when I ask them what they think of its supposed powers of rejuvenation. Why?
‘Look, this isn’t competition to us,’ said one. ‘Laser?’ laughed another. ‘That’s more of a laser pointer.’
The Lyma makes enormous claims, claiming the sort of results that it normally takes several rounds of in-clinic treatment to achieve, and has the flimsiest scientific backup – and despite making these claims the company hasn’t seen fit to put the product through a single clinical trial or comparison with other devices.
It has been brilliantly and stylishly marketed and it has persuaded a lot of journalists who should have asked a few more questions to repeat its extravagant marketing claims. What should they have asked? How can a device the size of a torch with a rechargeable battery generate enough power to do what it says it does? Or how can any light which is allegedly strong enough to prompt healing deep within the skin be safe to use around the eyes/ shine directly in your eyes without protection? Why do they suggest using an oil or cream with the product to give it ‘slip’, when any oil or cream will distort the light beam that’s reaching the skin?
For what it’s worth, if you are contemplating spending that much money, I know the Dermalux Flex works a treat because I gave it
full road testing during lockdown #1 and got brilliant results. Plus it has a medical CE certification which means it can make medical claims to treat, for example, acne and heal wounds. That’s why I have added the Dermalux to the Tweakments Guide shop, and haven’t added the Lyma. I know which one actually works.
Have you tested the Lyma Laser home treatment and, if so, would you recommend?

What are your views on the Lyma laser. Is it really medical grade?
No, it does not have medical certificaton. I have tried the Lyma ‘laser’ but I’m not a fan – I used it every night for months on end in spring 2021 (on one side of one wrinkle on my neck, and on the knuckles of my left hand, as advised by the brand founder,) without getting any results.

For what it’s worth, if you are contemplating spending that much money, I know two brands that really will deliver. The Dermalux Flex works a treat and I know that because I gave it full road testing during lockdown #1 and got brilliant results. Plus it has a medical CE certification which means it can make medical claims to treat, for example, acne and heal wounds. The other is the range of home devices from Celluma, which come in various sizes and which are also medically certified to treat various skin conditions and have an immense amount of research behind them.
Hi Alice, I’m thinking of buying the Dr Harris Sleep Mask… more for actual sleeping than wrinkles! What do you think? Also, the Lyma laser? Worth the hype/ cost… actual results? Thank you.
The
Dr Harris mask, yes totally, I am totally hooked on it and wear it every single night (for it’s calming benefits, rather than wrinkle-relaxing). Lyma, no. I have tried it but I’m not a fan – I used it every night for months on end in spring 2021 (on one side of one wrinkle on my neck, and on the knuckles of my left hand, as advised by the brand founder), without getting any results.

What is your opinion on the Lyma laser, please? I am considering investing in this. Many thanks in advance.

As for the Lyma supplements, I have tried them previously after the Lyma founder had talked me through the story of the brand and why and how she came up with them, but I didn’t notice any benefits from them. I take the supplements we sell on the TTG shop because they have solid nutritional science behind them and are backed up by robust clinical trials, and I find they really do work.
Can you test the Lyma supplement and at-home laser please?

Please can you tell me if there is a home device (or two) which might help with the lines I have either side of my chin? Also, I have a burst blood capillary between my cheek and my nose, and am wondering if there are any devices/treatments that would heal that. I was looking at the Lyma Laser, but I see you’re not too impressed with that! FYI – I’m mid 50s with some pigmentation and very mild rosacea. I have an LED mask, Sensica RF device (not much change using these two), and Foreo Mini Bear.
I fear that no home use device is going to be much help with those lines – it sounds like you may need a bit of filler. And home-use devices can’t help with thread veins or a burst blood vessel, but a session or two of IPL or laser would help you clear that. Take a look at our Practitioner Finder to locate a great clinician in your area who could talk you through the options.
I am looking for a device to tighten and lift my skin for my face and body. I have Profhilo, toxin and fillers and was wondering which of the following would work best for me: Lyma, Wellbox or Dermalux Flex? Does the Dermalux tighten and lift? I am 64.
I hate to say it but none of those will give you noticeable lift and tightening. The Lyma is highly unlikely to achieve anything, it doesn’t have the power. I don’t know the Wellbox. I love the Dermalux – it’s a medically-certified device – and while this will help a lot with the condition of your skin, helping it regenerate from the inside and become stronger and better hydrated, reducing redness and helping pigmentation a little, your skin will look younger and smoother, but it doesn’t make any claims for tightening and lifting. In-clinic treatment with something like radiofrequency microneedling is a better bet – find a great practitioner and ask their advice on the area that you’re keen to lift and tighten.
I bought the Lyma laser after speaking to Debbie Thomas who said she thought it was very good, I hope it’s not been a very expensive mistake…I look forward to seeing your research on it.
I need to have a chat with Debbie about this as I respect her views immensely but I can’t ignore my own experience of the Lyma (zero results). Plus, it makes enormous claims, claiming the sort of results that it normally takes several rounds of in-clinic treatment to achieve, and has the flimsiest scientific backup. And, despite making these claims, the company hasn’t seen fit to put the product through a single clinical trial or comparison with other devices. So, I don’t rate it and nor do my laser-manufacturer-acquaintances to whom I have grumbled about it. How can it produce enough power to give a result from a rechargeable battery? How can anything that has the power to genuinely improve the skin be safe to use around the eye without protection? And so on.
What are your thoughts on the Lyma home laser? From the blurb it sounds like it is able to tackle a plethora of conditions so I wondered if it is too good to be true? I mainly would like to tackle skin laxity and my son’s acne
Yes, too good to be true! I have tried the Lyma ‘laser’ but I’m not a fan – I used it every night for months on end in spring 2021 (on one side of one wrinkle on my neck, and on the knuckles of my left hand, as advised by the brand founder,) without getting any results.

For what it’s worth, if you are contemplating spending that much money, and looking for properly effective LED light to tackle skin quality and acne, I know the Dermalux Flex works a treat because I gave it full road testing during lockdown #1 and got brilliant results. Plus it has a medical CE certification which means it can make medical claims to treat, for example, acne and heal wounds. That’s why I have added the Dermalux Flex to the shop on my site, and haven’t added the Lyma. I know which one actually works.

Will you be reviewing the LYMA laser soon?
Well, not as such, but I may write an article on it for the blog. I’ve had a lot of similar questions on it and my feedback isn’t positive. First, it is not a medically-certified device. I tried it for months on end last year without getting any results, and all my laser-manufacturer acquaintances laugh at it when I ask them what they think of its supposed powers of rejuvenation. It makes enormous claims and has the flimsiest scientific backup – and despite making these claims the company hasn’t risked putting the product through a single clinical trial or comparison with other devices.
It’s been brilliantly and stylishly marketed and it has persuaded a lot of journalists who should have asked a few more questions to repeat the marketing claims without asking any difficult questions. Or even the basic questions, like, how can a device the size of a torch with a rechargeable battery generate enough power to do what it says it does? Or how can any light which is allegedly strong enough to prompt healing deep within the skin be safe to use around the eyes/ shine directly in your eyes without protection? Please, don’t waste your money.
