LYMA Laser
The LYMA Laser is a low-level (“cold”) laser using 808 nm. The manufacturer lists a session of 3 min per area (daily for 12 weeks, then 3 times a week) and a reference price of £1,999. Its FDA 510(k) record is K210823 (record names this device).
Why it is notable
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.

How low-level (“cold”) laser works
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.
No heat; the brand reports no pain or downtime.
