If you are curious what the real uninfluenced reviews of the $2700 LYMA laser are, read this.
The Good
- Rosacea Improvement: “I’ve had the laser for about 2 years now and I think it has made a big difference in my rosacea. […] My overall skin tone is less red, too.” (4 upvotes)
- Acne and Rosacea: “It absolutely does work. It’s not a cure of course but it reduces the severity by a good deal and heals acne plus the marks left behind quite quickly.” (8 upvotes)
- Scar Reduction: “My scars are 70% better!! After 2 months using every day. It’s a miraculous product.” (5 upvotes)
- Post-Surgery Recovery: “I had an upper and lower bleph a few weeks ago and it really helped with the bruising.” (3 upvotes)
The Not So Good
- No Results After Extended Use: “I honestly don’t think the LYMA Laser works. I followed their protocol strictly for a full year (even gave it an extra 6 months), and it made zero difference to my skin.” (24 upvotes) “I have the LYMA and the Dermaflex. I used the LYMA for one hour a day for 6 months—no results.” (5 upvotes)
- FDA Filing Concerns: “LYMA is a scam. It’s not actually laser. Google their FDA filing and you’ll see they got clearance, not approval, based on similarities between their device and existing LED wands.” (5 upvotes)
- Influencer Marketing: “They give the device away to anyone with a following in the beauty/fashion/lifestyle category in exchange for posts.” (5 upvotes)
Worth it?
Many say it’s not worth the money:
- “DO NOT GET IT. I’ve used it for a year and no results… $3,000 should be used at a professional setting instead.” (3 upvotes)
- “If it were a real laser it wouldn’t be for at-home use.” (3 upvotes)
- “I was hoping to get some anti-aging results. But sadly nothing… I still use it, since I spent all the money.” (4 upvotes)
Some vocal defenders:
- “100% WORTH IT! Skip their products, skip their glide gel & oxygen mist – they are literally water and silicone lol.” (11 upvotes)
Alternatives people recommend
- Omnilux Comparison: “I ended up buying an Omnilux LED Mask for a fraction of the cost.” (6 upvotes)
- Tria Laser: “I can say 100% the Tria works and works well. Some irritation during use, but best results when I combined Tria and LYMA.” (4 upvotes)
- Microneedling Alternative: “What has helped is microneedling at home. I use a $200 pen instead of a $2,000 device lol, and my skin has never looked better.” (24 upvotes)
- Professional Treatments: “If you’re willing to spend almost $3,000, just go get a professional laser treatment at a med spa or dermatologist’s office.” (9 upvotes)
Tips and Tricks
- Treatment Duration: “I hold it on one spot for about 5–15 minutes. Works best for pimples and flare-ups.” (3 upvotes)
- Maintenance Schedule: “I use it a few times a week now—started daily and tapered down after 3–4 months.” (4 upvotes)
- Combination Routine: “Best results came from using Tria at night and LYMA in the morning.” (4 upvotes)
- Serum Substitution: “I stopped using the LYMA spray and gel for months and noticed no difference. They’re not worth the monthly cost, so I use them sparingly.” (4 upvotes)
The verdict
Across Reddit, sentiment toward the LYMA Laser is mixed Some user of users report no visible improvement despite months—or even years—of consistent use.
Some users do report meaningful improvement, mainly for rosacea and scarring, suggesting the device may have limited benefits for specific conditions.
However, people also recommend cheaper LED alternatives (like Dermalux or Omnilux) or professional treatments for better results and values.
