New study shows there’s zero win in attacking skin, when LYMA’s patented cold laser technology is engineered to create the best kind of collagen.
LYMA’s Laser technology is pioneering a completely different approach to skin renewal that is changing the game when it comes to anti-ageing. Traditional thinking has been that the best way stimulate collagen production is to induce trauma, thereby stimulating repair. This can often involve processes or techniques that are painful and may leave the skin inflamed.
Quick-fix collagen isn’t the answer
There are beauty industry insiders who would have us believe that the stress/ damage approach to stimulating collagen is the only game in town. Treatments like radio frequency, microcurrent, microneedling and ultrasound, traumatise the skin using electro-magnetic or sound waves to heat the dermis and trigger an inflammatory response.
However, the stress/damage induced collagen produced by almost all beauty tech, is the body’s quick fix, patching up the damage as fast as possible, and not in the least bit concerned with aesthetics. This “quick fix” blend of collagens typically has too much type 3 collagen, and especially too much type 1, which is the same pattern observed in unsightly scars. Youthful skin is not built on any old combination of collagens and certainly not on the combination typically produced following an inflammatory response. So, if we want younger-looking skin, we won’t get it by damaging it first.
LYMA scientists crack the collagen code
The new study, authored by world leading plastic and craniofacial surgeon, Dr Graeme Glass PhD, FRCS (Plast) reports that the LYMA Laser triggers an unprecedented cellular response. It does this by charging up the mitochondria in each skin cell, reactivating the generation of collagen and elastin, whilst simultaneously switching off the genes that cause cells to become senescent. LYMA’s cold laser technology has finally made it possible to keep the dermis thick, healthy and producing an abundance of Type 1 collagen, with no need for pain, damage, or downtime.
“This study builds on our previous work showing that the known aesthetic benefits of the LYMA Laser result from profound skin changes at a genetic level. These genetic changes have real-world implications for skin health and healing.” Dr Graeme Glass, PhD, FRCS (Plast)
LYMA’s cold laser technology, which already boasts 38 global patents, and 5-published peer-reviewed studies, manipulates gene expression to rebalance collagen synthesis in favour of the blend produced in your teens and twenties. Collagen production is switched back on, whilst simultaneously switching off collagen degeneration. Results that have astonished the scientific community.
“The time to torment your skin is over. At LYMA, we’re not asking anyone to take a leap of faith - we’re showing them the science,” LYMA Founder Lucy Goff comments. “This study is not just validation of the LYMA Laser’s power; it’s proof that you don’t need to damage your skin to transform it. In an industry that’s often built on belief, we’re building on evidence.”
It’s possible to switch your skin into youth mode
The new study also highlights the need to focus our anti-aging efforts on the dermis, (the supportive layer beneath the surface), that has an enormous influence on the quality of skin. Making up 95% of our skin, the dermis is the skin’s engine room - the most active layer overseeing everything from blood supply, temperature regulation and vitamin D synthesis to immune cell and melanocyte production. After the age of around 25, the dermal layer starts to slow down and thin as its regenerative powers diminish, and the delicate balance between productivity and loss of collagen, water and immune response starts to tip.
Loved by Martha Stewart, Paris Hilton, Miranda Kerr, Carey Mulligan, Kate Beckinsale and Rosie Huntington Whiteley, the LYMA Laser and now the larger scale Laser PRO, deliver extraordinary skin transformation with no pain, no damage and no downtime. Powered by 1450mW near-infrared continuous cold laser beams at 808nm, the LYMA Laser PRO penetrates 9cm, where it has a biological effect in the dermis and lifts skin and muscle simultaneously. A ground-breaking approach to cellular regeneration that delivers cosmetic surgery results at home and a landmark moment in the future of aesthetics. Finally, collagen without the compromise.
There’s the old way. And then there’s the LYMA way.
