Elizabeth Hurley has shared her experience with a high-tech at-home laser device, claiming it has significantly faded her sun damage in just three months. The actress and model, known for her meticulous sun protection habits, admitted to dealing with pigmentation patches like many others but found a solution in the portable LYMA Laser PRO.
Celebrity Endorsement and Visible Results
In an episode of LYMA's Science of Youth series, Hurley discussed the device with plastic surgeon Graeme Glass. She stated, "I have seen changes in some of the sun damage on my skin. I actually feel that they have faded, and I think they've faded on my hands too." This endorsement adds to the device's popularity among A-list stars such as Miranda Kerr, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Sienna Miller.
Routine and Portability
Hurley emphasized the importance of consistency, which she achieves through the device's portability. She uses it during television viewing or movies, requiring only three minutes per area daily, and can even fit treatments into car rides or flights. Despite a recent trip to the Maldives, she reported no regression in her skin's progress, noting, "Nothing came back worse. Nothing stopped healing."
Comparison to LED Masks
Hurley was candid about her dissatisfaction with LED masks, stating, "I bought one of those LED masks once. To be honest, I don't think it did anything. I shan't be wasting my money again." Dr. Glass explained the difference: LED light scatters on the skin's surface, while laser light penetrates deeper, potentially triggering regenerative processes without causing damage.
Regeneration Over Repair
Dr. Glass highlighted that near-infrared laser therapy aims to stimulate skin regeneration without the controlled injury typical of in-clinic treatments. The LYMA Laser PRO uses a cold laser beam to boost cellular energy production, encouraging collagen synthesis and reducing ageing signs. Hurley appreciated this non-traumatic approach, asking if it could help without surgery, to which Dr. Glass affirmed, with the caveat that diligent use is key for optimal results.
Preventative Skincare Philosophy
Dr. Glass suggested that preventative treatments, like this laser, could represent the future of aesthetic skincare by addressing environmental damage early. Hurley's experience aligns with this philosophy, as she values steady improvement without downtime or drastic measures. After three months of near-daily use, she plans to continue, convinced by the visible fading of her sun spots.
