Best for fine lines and scars
Lyma Laser
Hollywood facialist Joanna Czech regularly uses the Lyma Laser on her celebrity clients (including on Grace Gummer for the 2024 Oscars), while celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg tells THR that the facial device is her “go-to tool [for] rejuvenating the skin and reducing wrinkles, skin pigmentation, redness, blemishes and scarring,” recently told THR. (The brand just released its new Lyma Laser Pro, which offers wider coverage, triple the power and results within 30 days, and starts at $4,995.)
Suitable for whole body and on darker skin tones, the FDA-cleared device uses red and NIR laser light across a surface of 8cm2 to reach the base layer of the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, old and new scars and other skin concerns. To use, you’ll hold the flashlight-shaped device to the desired treatment areas for three minutes or more. Lyma (pronounced “LEE-ma”) says the Laser activates mitochondria in cells, “producing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid” and thickens the top epidermal layer to make skin look “smoother, firmer and healthier.”
Lyma says that clinical trials show that the device noticeably improves face and body skin texture and elasticity in as little as 12 weeks when used for 15 to 45 minutes daily. Unlike LED face masks, the Lyma Laser can be used over makeup and sunscreen. It boasts a two-hour battery life on a single charge and a 10-year lifespan.

Lyma recommends using the device daily with its Oxygen Mist and Glide skin-care products; laser purchases include a free 30-day supply, and skin-care subscriptions are $149 per month. (Celebrity facialists Joanna Czech and Iván Pol use the Lyma Laser on starry clients, while celebrities including Selena Gomez, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale, Amber Valletta, Sienna Miller and Kathy Hilton swear by the laser tool.)
