When you launch a global-first skincare line and a cosmetic light device that breaks every existing barrier, there’s understandably a long list of questions. LYMA doesn’t expect our customers to be qualified skintellectuals, we know this level of science and newness sparks many questions.
Is it better to hold or to glide the Laser over your skin? What about SPF and where does retinol come into it? What if I use two lasers at once? What if I used it on my head? Hands up, who’s got a question about the LYMA Laser and Skincare?

The top 10 most asked skincare questions:
Is it better to hold still or glide the Laser over your skin?
To treat facial skin as a whole, glide the LYMA Laser slowly and steadily over the skin for 15 to 30 minutes a day. To treat a particular area, such as wrinkles between the brows or on patches of pigmentation, hold it still over that point for three full minutes before moving on to the next.
Is there a benefit to using two lasers at a time like I’ve seen the pros do?
Many high-profile facial aestheticians use the Laser as a pre red-carpet treatment as benefits like tone and luminosity are seen immediately. Using two lasers simultaneously makes sense from a time-saving perspective, as two lasers will cover a larger surface area. The most profound regenerative benefits, however, are from long-term, regular use.
How does a one-hour treatment work for celebrities, when I need 12 weeks?
There are definitely immediate benefits from one-off use and this is why high-profile aestheticians favor the Laser for red carpet events. Having said that, the best results are achieved through long-term daily use. Plus, many of these Hollywood clients are also using the LYMA Laser every day at home too.
Do we need to use retinol with the skincare?
The LYMA Skincare products already have a retinol derivative called retinol palmitate. It’s both highly effective and one of the milder forms of retinol associated with less irritation, so there’s no need to add more retinol on top of the Cream and Serum. As for the Laser, it can be synergistic alongside retinol and may mitigate sensitivity and inflammation.
What about SPF and the Laser?
You can use the Laser while wearing sunscreen because SPF filters UV light only. The LYMA Laser emits LLLT, which is near-infrared light, so SPF won’t block its effects.
Am I okay to use the LYMA Skincare around my eyes?
Yes, LYMA Skincare is entirely safe for the delicate eye area. It was formulated with concerns like dark circles, fine lines, and under-eye bags in mind. The Laser is also inherently anti-inflammatory, making it highly beneficial for puffiness and eye bags.
Can you use the LYMA Laser after fillers?
Fillers vary in type — autologous fat, hyaluronic acid, or permanent options. There’s no evidence the LYMA Laser is unsafe for use with any fillers, but always follow your doctor’s guidance. The Laser won’t alter the chemical composition of fillers.
I’m not convinced I’m seeing much results from the Laser. What am I doing wrong?
The LYMA Laser always works with consistent use — it’s biologically impossible not to. Differences in results often come down to lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, sleep, or protocol consistency. If results seem slow, reach out to the LYMA Concierge for personalised guidance.
Does the Laser work better on younger or older skin?
The LYMA Laser works across all skin tones, types, and age groups. On younger skin it acts preventatively, while on older skin it reverses visible signs of aging.
Can the Laser help with scalp inflammation due to stress?
Yes — the Laser is inherently anti-inflammatory, so it can help reduce scalp inflammation triggered by stress.
