Discover the power to heal with LYMA Laser, revolutionising skin renewal with science-backed results.
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.
The healing process, known as downtime, is time consuming and unacceptable for some people. Adapted from a medical device designed to heal damaged muscle and cartilage, LYMA’s Laser technology negates the need for any of this by inducing the skin’s own processes for regeneration and repair with astonishing results. All with no pain, no damage and no downtime.
How does it work? As we age, the balance of healthy, viable skin cells (which produce dermal proteins such as collagen) to inactive or destructive senescent cells (which cause the breakdown of dermal proteins) shifts to favour tissue breakdown. The loss of dermal proteins is followed by the loss of dermal fluid. Skin becomes thin, dry and wrinkled. Tethered around inelastic suspensory ligaments, the skin begins to sag on these anchoring points, leading to eyebags and jowls. The microscopic blood supply to the skin, known as capillaries, also reduces blood, oxygen and nutrient delivery to the skin, accelerating the manifestations of ageing.
The LYMA Laser acts as a switch, turning on genes within healthy viable skin cells to enhance the signals that cause the cell to multiply and produce dermal proteins.
Simultaneously, the Laser switches off genes that cause cell ageing and inhibit dermal protein production. The surveillance immune system of the skin is enhanced, and senescent cells are identified and eliminated. These processes, collectively known as photobiomodulation, instruct the skin to behave in a way that replicates the skin of youth.
When LYMA’s near infrared laser light passes through the skin, the energy of the light wave is selectively absorbed by mitochondria (the battery of a cell) and converted into units of chemical energy, known as ATP. Cells highly energised by ATP switch on genes responsible for tissue repair and regeneration and switch off genes responsible for ageing and senescence. At the level of the epidermis (the most superficial layer of skin) this results in a tightly packed, highly organised arrangement of keratinocytes which manifests as smooth, even skin.
Improved efficiency of melanin distribution results in a more even tone. In the dermal layer, the complex protein arrangements and accompanying blood supply of the dermal matrix are rebuilt, manifesting as a firm, plump, durable and well-nourished skin. Inflammation is reduced and senescent cells are more efficiently identified and quickly eliminated to be replaced by healthy skin cells.
The ability of the LYMA Laser to penetrate to the base layer of the dermis while retaining sufficient energy to induce photobiomodulation occurs due to the phenomenon of “constructive interference”; a feature of a laser wave which is not present in other forms of light productions, such as LEDs.
Photobiomodulation is also capable of enhancing wound healing, scarring and post-surgical recovery, and has even been demonstrated to improve cellulite through re-dispersal of lipid deposits in fat storage “white fat” cells.
All this is achievable in just three minutes daily with consistent and prolonged use. LYMA is reimagining anti-ageing through the power to heal and that is turning the aesthetics industry on its head.
