Put to the test: a laser that remodels your skin by targeting wrinkles, scars and acne, we’re told – and which costs as much as a designer bag

The Lyma Laser costs US$2,500 and has been developed by Lucy Goff from a clunky machine her business partner Dr Paul Clayton saw being used in Germany

‘Your body is going to be around a lot longer than a designer handbag, so that’s what you should invest in,’ says Goff, comparing the laser to a Chanel bag

As more people pare down their skincare routines amid the rise of trends like skinimalism, the idea of adding an extra step back in sounds unnecessary – especially if it involves buying a US$2,500 (HK$20,999) device.

But what if this device promises to completely remodel your skin, comes with no side effects and is very user-friendly to boot?

The Lyma Laser, a skincare tool launched in Europe one year ago, has just made its debut in Asia at Joyce Beauty in Hong Kong. It is the brainchild of London-based Lucy Goff.

After experiencing a difficult pregnancy and a bout of septicaemia (when bacteria enter the bloodstream), Goff, a former journalist and public relations professional, set off on a journey to optimal health, which led to the founding of Lyma.

The Lyma Laser is a laser-therapy skincare device.

While on a recuperative trip to Geneva, Switzerland, in 2013, Goff met Paul Clayton, a US-based doctor and leading expert in preventing degenerative disease.
