LYMA Laser vs LYMA Laser PRO
LYMA Laser and LYMA Laser PRO compared on published specifications. Both use the same technology (low-level (“cold”) laser), so the differences are in wavelengths, output, form, routine and price. LYMA Laser: 808 nm, session 3 min per area, £1,999. LYMA Laser PRO: 808 nm, session 3-min treatment cycle, £4,995.

What the differences mean
Both use the same technology (low-level (“cold”) laser), so the differences are in wavelengths, output, form, routine and price.
A low-level laser emits coherent near-infrared light at power that does not heat tissue. It works by photobiomodulation: light absorbed by the cell’s mitochondria changes cell signalling, which studies link to collagen production. It shares this mechanism with LED masks but uses a laser source.
LYMA Laser
LYMA brought low-level laser therapy into the luxury home market, and its FDA record names the Laser directly: a cordless 808 nm wand with a diffused lens that the brand says works without heat, pain or downtime.
Suited to: Preferring a non-thermal treatment with no expected downtime; Treating face, neck and small body areas.
LYMA Laser PRO
The LYMA Laser PRO has the highest published output of the five home lasers compared here: the same 808 nm cold-laser technology as the original, scaled to 1450 mW and a 30 cm² lens to cover larger areas of face and body faster.
Suited to: Covering larger areas per treatment cycle; Wanting the highest published output among the home lasers.
