Stacey Lum spends her days correcting other people's skin concerns. She knows what works and what doesn't. She has seen every device, every claim, every before-and-after that doesn't survive contact with reality. And for years, she was carrying a skin concern of her own that nothing had touched.
"Pigmentation bothered me. It was not a good look."
- Stacey Lum, 52, Facialist
For a facialist, that admission carries weight. Pigmentation is the concern clients come to Stacey to solve. It was also the one she could not solve for herself - until the LYMA Laser.
What followed was not a gradual nudge toward improvement. It was, in her own words, a disappearance.
"My pigmentation has disappeared with consistent use of the LYMA. I have seen and noticed overall skin texture and even skin tone to be remarkable."
- Stacey Lum, 52, Facialist
The science behind the disappearance
At 52, Stacey's skin is the most persuasive case study in her treatment room. The shift she describes - not a brightening or a temporary clarity, but a complete correction - is consistent with what the clinical data predicts and what LYMA's Laser scientists designed for.
Pigmentation forms when melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the dermis, receive signals to overproduce melanin. Those signals are often triggered by UV exposure, hormonal shifts, or chronic inflammation. Correcting the outcome requires addressing the signal, not just the pigment that results from it. That is precisely where low-level laser therapy - the mechanism behind the LYMA Laser - operates.
"Because LLLT regulates melanocytes - pigment cells - it can reduce hyperpigmentation that develops with sun exposure."
- Dr. Dan Belkin, MD, FACMS, FAAD, Double board-certified Dermatologist & Cosmetic Surgeon
Dr. Belkin further notes that the LYMA Laser is safe for all skin tones, including darker complexions that are disproportionately affected by heat-based pigmentation treatments. As he explains: the device does not generate heat, making it appropriate even for those with healing or compromised skin. This is a meaningful clinical distinction - devices that generate heat to provoke collagen production carry a measurable risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones.
How photobiomodulation addresses melanocyte activity
The mechanism is photobiomodulation. Near-infrared laser light, at the power and coherence the LYMA Laser delivers, penetrates to the base layers of the dermis where melanocyte cells reside. There, it re-energises the cell's mitochondria, regulating function rather than destroying tissue. The dispersed pigment is reabsorbed naturally. The skin's tone evens from within.
Read more about the science behind LYMA and how coherent laser light differs from LED at a cellular level.
LED works on the surface. LYMA works on the cell.
The LYMA Laser expresses 45 genes inside the dermis. An LED device, operating at surface level with non-coherent light, expresses one. That gap - 45 to 1 - is the distance between a cosmetic intervention and a biological one. It is the reason practitioners are seeing results that previously required clinic-grade procedures, and the reason those results persist rather than fade.
For pigmentation specifically: the laser's coherent beam reaches melanocyte cells beneath the epidermis, regulating the signals that drive overproduction. No heat. No damage. No post-treatment inflammation that can trigger the very response you are trying to correct.
"The LYMA Laser has the power to change skin age. This isn't simply cosmetic - it's cellular renewal at a therapeutic level."
- Dr. Graeme Glass, PhD, MD, Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery, Plastic & Craniofacial Surgeon, Lyma Aesthetic Director
Clinical data: what the peer-reviewed evidence shows
The clinical data supports what practitioners like Stacey Lum are observing first-hand. In peer-reviewed trials published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal - the same publication that holds five LYMA-authored studies - subjects using the LYMA Laser technology recorded a 46% reduction in pigmentation across six weeks of consistent use. That figure is not a cosmetic approximation. It is a measured outcome, assessed by the same scientific standards applied to in-clinic procedures.

Dr. Glass designed the LYMA Laser's skin protocol alongside a team of laser scientists and geneticists specifically to move beyond the surface. For pigmentation, that means reaching the dermis with a coherent laser beam and altering the behaviour of the melanocytes responsible for dark spots, uneven tone, and sun-damage accumulation.
"Every one of my clients wants the coveted LYMA as they see results in one session and can't believe how luminous their skin looks."
- Stacey Lum · on her clients' response
Consistency is the variable that separates improvement from transformation
The luminosity Stacey's clients notice from a single session is the LYMA Laser's immediate circulatory effect: lymphatic drainage, increased microcirculation, a visible glow that accumulates with each use. But the pigmentation shift she describes in her own skin at 52 - the disappearance she documents after consistent use - is what happens when the laser is given time to recalibrate the biology underneath.
Consistency is the variable that separates those who see a visible improvement from those who see a transformation. The Laser PRO reaches that threshold in 30 days. The original LYMA Laser builds toward it across 12 weeks. Both require the same thing: daily use, sustained commitment, and the understanding that the goal is not to cover damage but to undo it.
"My friends saw such a change. I call it the LYMA magic. So many are seeing similar change too. It's such incredible tech."
- Stacey Lum · on the LYMA effect
Stacey Lum at 52 is the most honest advertisement for what that commitment produces. Her clients see it in her skin before they read a single specification. That is what LYMA has always been: results that precede explanation, skin that tells its own story before anyone asks what ritual produced it.
