A couple of years ago serious facial rejuvenation treatments were reserved to the confines of skin clinics and medical spas. Nowadays, beauty technology has advanced at such a rate that you can enjoy the benefits of clinical-grade treatments all in the comfort of your own home. But of all the many devices available on the market, the Lyma Laser has emerged as a key player. Commonly touted as the go-to device for countless celebrities from Victoria Beckham to Sienna Miller and Martha Stewart, the Lyma Laser has been heralded as the not-so-secret secret weapon behind a series of red carpet glows, but many are known to stay loyal to it outside of award ceremonies and public appearances, too. Just ask Sabrina Carpenter, the latest A-lister to join the loyal legion of Lyma Laser fans.
Known for her serene, glossy beauty looks that make a case for dewy, sheeny skin layered with a wash of something pink, the singer recently posted a rare glimpse of her bedside table. On it, nestled next to a bottle of water, padded eye mask and hair band, the Lyma Laser Pro sits pride of place.
Are we surprised by Carpenter's choice of bedtime essentials? Absolutely not. As a Lyma devotee and long-time user, she called on the tool ahead of the Oscars in 2023, curtesy of legendary celebrity facialist Joanna Czech who is an advocate for the brand's cutting-edge technology, and again during her glam session for the MET Gala earlier this year.
'It’s amazing to see Sabrina is a fan of the LYMA Laser PRO,' says Lyma founder Lucy Goff, 'she’s proof you’re never too young to take skincare seriously. She’s a total powerhouse, always pushing boundaries and incorporating our laser technology into her routine, she’s glowing every step of the way.'
What is the Lyma Laser Pro?
Developing on the success of its first-generation laser, the Lyma Laser, £1999, comes this well-loved robust device that packs three times the power of the original and a wider treatment window that allows for full body coverage. Using clinical-grade cold laser technology, it promises to tackle sagging skin, pigmentation, irritation, scars and breakouts (to name a few) by transforming the skin from the inside out.
Powered by a 1450mW near-infrared continuous cold laser beam at 808nm, it penetrates an impressive 10cm under the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production, which can be likened to the type we produce during our youth. Instead of damaging the skin to form collagen, as many lasers intentionally do, Lyma's technology creates long-lasting, infrared stimulation to restore biological functions and trigger cell growth and repair. In simple terms, think of it as a pain-free, damage-free, downtime-free laser that reboots cells to remodel and rebuild skin from the base up. It's no wonder Hollywood is hooked.

What the brand says: The LYMA Laser PRO takes the unrivalled power of the LYMA Laser and triples it. Revolutionary clinical-grade cold laser technology, engineered to make skin look younger by triggering a genetic switch inside each cell. Skin is dramatically transformed; wrinkles are radically improved; elasticity is restored; sagging is reversed, and pigmentation is faded. Bigger lens. Faster results.
What we know: There is good reason why Lyma boasts a loyal legion of celebrity fans and expert facialists. As one of the most powerful at-home laser devices on the market, it works at a cellular level 10cm below the skin surface to transform skin from the inside out.
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I've been following Lyma since it first launched to market with a revolutionary all-in-one supplement that targets skin, sleep and stress simultaneously. But the brand's laser tech really proves its edge over the industry. There is much to be said for its impressive category defining approach, but for me the Lyma Laser wins by its inclusive nature. Unlike other lasers which aren't suitable for deep skin tones due to concerns over scaring, the Lyma Laser has been optimised for all as it doesn’t rely on damaging skin in order to renew it. Very refreshing indeed.'
