Elizabeth Hurley's LYMA Laser PRO Journey: Visible Skin Improvements After Three Months
Actress and model Elizabeth Hurley has publicly discussed her experience with the high-end LYMA Laser PRO, revealing significant visible enhancements to her skin following just three months of regular application. During an exclusive interview with esteemed plastic surgeon Dr. Graeme Glass for LYMA's Science of Youth series, the 60-year-old celebrity detailed how she incorporates the innovative device into her daily regimen.
Portability Key to Consistency
Elizabeth Hurley emphasized that the portability of the LYMA Laser PRO, which retails for $5,995 (approximately £4,436.44), has been crucial to her consistent usage. She explained that she typically uses the device while watching television or films in the evening, and highlighted that if it required dedicating a full hour daily, she would likely not maintain the routine.
'I use it normally when I watch television or a movie in the evening. If this was something I had to put aside an hour a day, there's no chance in the world I'd do it,' Hurley stated. She further noted using the device during various activities such as reading, completing household tasks, car journeys, and flights, appreciating its flexibility for fragmented use throughout the day.
Tangible Results and Sun Damage Reduction
After adhering to a near-daily routine for three months, missing only one or two sessions weekly, Hurley confirmed observing genuine improvements in her skin. Specifically, she reported noticeable fading of sun damage on her skin and hands, describing these as 'real changes' that have persisted even after a sun-intensive vacation in the Maldives with her son, Damien.
'I have seen changes in some of the sun damage on my skin. I actually feel that they have faded, and I think they've faded on my hands too,' she shared. Despite prolonged exposure to strong sunlight during her holiday, her progress remained intact, with no regression in healing.
Laser vs. LED Technology Explained
Dr. Graeme Glass elucidated the fundamental distinctions between LYMA's near-infrared laser technology and popular LED-based devices. He clarified that laser therapy offers superior efficacy due to its coherent light properties, which enable deeper penetration into the dermis without energy loss as heat, unlike LED light that often scatters and reflects off the skin surface.
'The big difference between LED therapy and laser therapy is that there are lots of features of the way that light is packaged in a laser that are contributing to the response that you see,' Dr. Glass explained. Hurley corroborated this with her personal experience, having tried an LED mask previously with unsatisfactory results, and now prefers the LYMA Laser PRO for its effectiveness.
Device Specifications and Practical Benefits
The LYMA Laser PRO operates with a 1450mW near-infrared continuous cold laser beam at 808nm, penetrating up to 10cm into the dermis to stimulate biological effects and skin lifting. Key advantages include zero pain, zero damage, and zero downtime, allowing users to achieve skin transformation without extensive time commitments.
Hurley highlighted additional practical benefits, such as the ability to use the device over makeup without compromising results, its safety for delicate eye tissue, and the option to break treatments into short sessions. Dr. Glass confirmed that visible results require only three minutes of daily exposure per targeted area, which can be accumulated across multiple brief sessions.
This technology represents a shift from LED devices, leveraging clinic-grade cold laser parameters—monochromatic, collimated, coherent, and polarised light—to retain more energy for deeper skin penetration and regeneration.
