When you look in the mirror, it is normal to ask yourself questions. Are you addressing the eight most important mechanisms of aging correctly? Are you making the most of your mitochondrial function? Benefit from the progress Genolytic™ technology? Are you listening carefully enough to skin consultants and eminent epigenetic skin scientists? In addition, are you getting enough beta-glucans and doing enough to increase keratin synthesis? Should you invest in a Lyma laser and a new, data-driven, unprecedented skin protocol regimen? Have you ever thought about photobiomodulation? You need to know the science before you decide.
“Skin aging can be broadly divided into intrinsic aging and extrinsic aging,” explains Dr. Graeme Glass MD PhD, plastic surgeonassociate professor of surgery and aesthetic director of London-based LYMA, founded by Lucy Goff, a former fashion and luxury publicist.
Intrinsic aging is the inherent tendency of all of us to age due to our genetic pre-programming. It happens to everyone. Extrinsic aging is the result of cumulative environmental exposure that damages our tissues and accelerates aging via ultraviolet radiation, smoking, alcohol consumption and nutritional factors.
Instead of superficially treating the top 20% of the cells in the skin, LYMA’s Genolytic™ technology targets the remaining 80% of living cells that conventional formulas cannot reach. Cellular energy is strengthened, mitochondrial deterioration is reduced and active cell renewal is accelerated.
Goff says: “The holy grail is to change the age of the dermis and fundamentally alter the aging mechanisms at the cellular level. Cracking that code took a long time. While most skincare products contain around 80% water and 20% ‘active’ ingredients, Lyma’s products offer the opposite; they are very powerful. We use anti-inflammatory ingredients that replenish blood supply by stimulating microcirculation, increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the cells to increase innate immunity and immune regulation. Having suffered complications after the birth of my daughter, I battled blood poisoning. My body was at rock bottom. I could not function as a mother and was prescribed supplements by a Swiss longevity professor. Afterwards I felt reborn. Before that, I had little confidence in the pharmaceutical and supplement industry.”
LYMA launched in 2018. The LYMA laser is reportedly 100 times more powerful than a typical LED mask. It’s the first-ever FDA-approved, clinical-grade laser that you can use at home on the couch. The majority of existing conventional skin care products only benefit surface cells. LYMA has developed a patented system that uses a specific type of liposome that is small enough for high skin absorption and that releases the trapped ingredients when the membranes fuse with the skin, increasing the penetration of the active ingredients through different layers of the skin.
As Goff notes, “We think our DNA is set in stone, but throughout our lives our gene expression changes based on what our bodies are exposed to. LYMA Skincare offers the opportunity to turn back the epigenetic clock. You can bring down the factors that promote the breakdown of collagen and the breakdown of structural proteins, and in the same way bring out the factors that regenerate and energize the skin.”
The peer-reviewed LYMA Skincare comes in a $500 two-step serum and cream program. The Supplement ($250), formulated by top pharmaco-nutritionist Dr. Paul Claytonsupports collagen production. The active substances in LYMA Skincare change cellular behavior and, in combination with the LYMA Laser, stimulate the transport of molecules and the absorption of active ingredients into the skin.
Goff adds, “It’s a complete ecosystem for skin health. The original version of the LYMA Laser technology was a gigantic floor standing machine. Over 120 iterations later, we’ve whittled it down to a portable, painless, yet incredibly powerful little device. Because it is completely “cold,” it is safe and effective for all skin types and skin tones. It has a low level laser therapy (LLLT) penetrates deep into the skin and heats the cells by a tiny hundredth of a degree – the exact temperature to activate a genetic switch to turn off the cells. It’s all backed by solid science. I’m 50 and my skin looks better than it did in my 30s, and that’s entirely down to LYMA and hard work!”
So it seems you no longer have to look yourself in the mirror or wonder if you are using the right transdermal topical delivery system, increasing the diffusion of fat-soluble compounds while simultaneously increasing the absorption of water soluble compounds are improved. So you no longer have to look sad at yourself in the mirror and frown at cell aging and the breakdown of your precious extracellular matrix! By using the laser you can be a leader in sustainability!
