Since launching in 2022, the Lyma Laser, an at-home device that helps smooth fine lines, reduce inflammation and tighten skin, has built a fan club that includes top dermatologists, A-list facialists and celebrity skincare enthusiasts, including Kim Kardashian, Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Hailey Bieber, who all rave about the anti-aging stick (Hudson called it “one of the best things I’ve ever used on my face” in an Instagram video).
“I like that!” says board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dendy Engelman, MD, FACMS, FAAD. “And every celebrity I treat uses it and loves it.”
It’s the first FDA-approved laser for home use and is said to be 100 times more powerful than other LED tools, but what makes the LYMA such a game changer for celebrity pros is that it uses something called low-level laser therapy (LLLT), which making it non-invasive and non-ablative, meaning no downtime.

That’s why Joanna Czech used LYMA (two at a time, to be exact) to prepare nearly 30 clients, including Jennifer Aniston, Minnie Driver, Natasha Lyonne, Kaitlyn Dever and Camila Morrone for all the events and parties leading up to the Golden Globes. (Her record is 54 facials in five days.)

“It helps to calm and soften imperfections, and I’m also seeing a skin-tightening effect,” says Czech, who combines 10 minutes of double LYMAs with serums (she alternates between LYMA’s Glide Gel and her own C+ and Calming Serums). with her signature lifting and shaping massage (she calls it “slapping”), plus microcurrent and negative ionization.

Czech says most of her celebrity clients now have their own LYMAs, and she encourages them to use them every day at home or on set (“it’s so easy because it’s TSA and Netflix friendly”), since it takes about two three months to take advantage of all the benefits. “The skin looks more unique when you use it for three months continuously. It helps with stubborn hyperpigmentation and wrinkles and increases elasticity.” And while LYMA doesn’t cause redness or irritation, Czech advises her celebrity clients to wait at least 12 hours before hitting the red carpet. “I tell them to go to sleep after the facial,” she says. .”Makeup artists like you better when you convince your client not to get a facial the day of the event.”
