Until mid-2022, the Lyma Laser was one of those whispered-about Europe only experiences.

While I waited, I watched videos on how to use the unit.

First, I sprayed the 100% concentrated oxygen mist on clean, dry skin.

After a week of use, I was enjoying the warm daily glow of the Lyma.

I had ditched the gel, swapping in aface oilinstead since a smooth glide was key to the unit.

To me, this is one of the more interesting ways to use the gear overall.

Either way, you’re looking at numbing, peeling, redness, and downtime.

Week five was when I started to notice a difference in my skin.

My sunspots had started to slightly fade, and overall my skin just looked plumper and brighter.

At home, I have a glamorous under-the-sink graveyard ofskin-care tools.

And there it will stay as long as the sun spots continue to fade and the compliments keep coming.
