Hi! I’ve been using Lyma since June of this year. After having it for about a month, I saw this thread and felt like I had been completely suckered into buying the laser, despite the fact that I really thought I was seeing some results. Well, I kept at it and I can say that it really does work for me.
I’m in my mid 30s. My skin has always been acne prone, and even when I haven’t had “active” breakouts or my skin has been “good”, it’s always changed during my cycle (oily, pores look bigger, texture just seems off). Those unwanted cyclical changes have completely stopped since I started using lyma. I also don’t breakout anymore, and if a pimple does try to sneak out, a few concentrated minutes with the Lyma stops it in its tracks and it’s gone in 12 hours. I have no marks left from acne, my skin is just brighter. It was always dull before with red marks. I can’t explain it, but it just has this bright evenness to it now.
These changes took time. However, if I had any doubt that the Lyma laser was responsible for the changes, those challenges were put to rest over the last month. I stopped using the laser for almost 4 weeks because of a surgery. My skin became unbalanced (dry, flakey and oily and little breakouts) and the texture started to become less smooth. It was basically reverting to my pre Lyma days. I realized that I hadn’t dealt with those issues in months. Within a few days of going back to my Lyma regimen, my skin went back to looking and feeling good.
Fine lines aren’t a huge concern for me, so I can’t comment too much, but I do feel that my deeper foreheads lines seem softened. I don’t have any redness anymore. My lips look smoother and a touch fuller. The best part is that I don’t feel the need for any tinted moisturizer or makeup on a daily basis. A touch of concealer around my nose and my eyes and I’m good to go. I’ve never ever had that confidence before, even when my skin has been “good”. It’s just even and bright.
My skin hasn’t turned into porcelain, pore-less and wrinkle-less perfection. That’s not going to happen. It’s unrealistic to expect that. But the subtle changes have made a difference in my life.
If you have mild acne (I can’t speak to moderate or severe) or dryness or dullness, it’s worth a shot. I really do think that Lyma extending their trial period to 30 or 45 days would make a big difference and inspire more confidence in trying it out. 2 weeks just makes it seem hokey and like a scam.
ALSO, I rarely use the system (spray and serum). I was so concerned about it clogging my skin (everything would make me breakout) that I just didn’t use it much. And it works without it.
I hope this helps anyone thinking about trying, or at least inspires some confidence in anyone who has recently made the huge purchase. |
