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.
