Taneesa Williamson We explore how the Lyma Laser compares to other at-home light therapy devices, and why it has been the device of choice amongst some skincare professionals worldwide.
The Lyma Laser has become an interesting talking point recently, with it’s increasing popularity amongst consumers who can access the benefits of light-based treatments in the comfort of their own home. The Lyma Laser, an advanced at-home light therapy device that utilises the power of red and near-infrared light to rejuvenate the skin, claims to be 100 times more powerful than LED devices, making it an effective and efficient tool for improving skin health.
How the Lyma Laser Works
The Lyma Laser works by delivering specific wavelengths of light that penetrate deep into the skin which causes photobiomodulation, essentially in the form of low level laser therapy (LLLT). The red light (630nm) stimulates the production of collagen. The Lyma Laser’s red light therapy helps to boost collagen production, which in turn reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin elasticity. The device is engineered by two patented internal diffusers that fragment the near infrared light into 25,000 smaller beams.
The near-infrared light (830nm) used in the Lyma Laser device penetrates even deeper into the skin than red light, targeting the deeper layers of the dermis. Near-infrared light therapy has been shown to increase blood flow, which helps to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the skin. This increased circulation can improve skin texture and tone, reduce inflammation, and speed up the healing process.
The Lyma Laser’s combination of red and near-infrared LLLT provides a comprehensive treatment for a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and more. When purchasing the device, which comes at a considerable price point, users will also receive a hydrating serum & facial mist to use with the device. Lyma also recommends using the laser regularly and consistently for best results, with a 15-minute treatment every day for the initial three months before moving to maintenance sessions of twice weekly.
The Lyma Laser technology always shifts the bounds of possibility and now, Lyma is the first ever skincare device to deliver 500mW of interrupted laser beam light (matching what the in-clinic lasers blast out), whilst remaining completely cold to the touch.

Additionally, the device claims to be safe and suitable for all skin types, with no downtime or recovery period necessary due to the patented triple lens technology. They also claim that safety goggles are not needed for eye protection with this device.
We reached out to Lyma for further insight into the specifics of the device and how it compares to professional class 4B laser devices, in which we are still awaiting a response.
