What if everything you've been told about aging skin has been backwards?
At our intimate Science of Youth breakfast briefing in New York, Dr. Graeme Glass - world-renowned Plastic Surgeon, PhD, and LYMA's Aesthetic Director - stood in front of a room that included Rebecca Hall, Candace Bushnell, celebrity facialist Joanna Czech, and leading longevity scientists.
What he revealed left them visibly shaken.
Days later, Huma Abedin gathered another group at Jessica McCormack's townhouse - fresh from her wedding where LYMA's Laser PRO had been her secret weapon. Her message: "Someone shared this with me. You need to hear it."
Here's what Dr. Glass told both rooms:
"Everything the beauty industry has taught you about skin aging is designed to keep you dependent on treatments that don't fundamentally change the trajectory. Heat-based devices? Aggressive peels? You're creating controlled injury and hoping your body repairs it correctly. But there's a profound difference between repair and regeneration - and most treatments only trigger one."
Someone asked: "What about red light therapy? What about LED panels?
Dr. Glass didn't hold back:
"LED panels penetrate 2-3 millimeters. LYMA's laser reaches 4 centimeters into tissue. That's not an incremental difference - that's the difference between tickling the surface and activating the machinery that controls whether you age or regenerate. When I show this depth comparison, the response is always the same: why has no one explained this before?"
Then came the revelation that changed the room:
"We ran analysis on skin treated with low-level laser versus other devices. Other lasers activated one longevity gene. Maybe two if we're generous. Laser activated 45. Forty-five genes lighting up like a system coming back online - including SIRT1, the master regulator that Nobel Prize research has linked to lifespan extension."
Joanna Czech, whose clients include Jennifer Aniston and Anna Wintour, put it simply:
"I've spent thirty years working with every device, every technology the industry produces. These talks have fundamentally changed how I understand what's possible. I thought I knew skin. I didn't know this level of activation existed. This is the missing piece I've been searching for."
"What does that actually mean for aging?"
Dr. Glass's answer:
"It means you're not just maintaining what you have - you're activating the biological mechanisms that build youth from depth. The women who understand this early don't just age better. They create a compounding advantage. At 55, they have skin quality most people lose by 45. The Science of Youth doesn't happen on the surface. It happens at depths the industry simply cannot reach with conventional technology."
One guest asked the question that's been haunting us:
"Why hasn't anyone told us this before?"
Dr. Glass's response: "Because explaining the difference between surface-level intervention and regeneration means admitting that most treatments - even expensive ones - are working at depths that can't fundamentally alter your biological age. The science to regenerate skin at depth has existed. But the industry has built its economy on something easier to sell."
Here's what that means for you:
The choices you make today don't just determine how your skin looks tomorrow. They determine whether you're building youth or quietly accepting decline.
Repair is what happens when you injure skin and hope it heals correctly.
Regeneration is what happens when you activate 45 longevity genes at 4cm depth and watch your biological trajectory change.
The science is measurable. The results are extraordinary.
Women starting LYMA in their 30s report their skin improving year after year instead of declining. Women in their 50s are seeing transformation they thought required surgical intervention. Women in their 60s are experiencing skin quality they haven't had in decades.
This isn't aspiration. It's peer-reviewed, published research showing genetic activation no other device can match.
The Science of Youth has begun in New York.
