We all know the drill: SPF on the face every morning, plus a quick slather on the neck and décolletage before stepping out, and maybe—if we’re feeling extra diligent—a top-up on the shoulders. But there’s one very sun-sensitive spot that consistently gets overlooked for sun exposure: the scalp.

Your scalp is skin too, and just like your face, it’s vulnerable to UV rays. In fact, the part in your hair is essentially a direct line of exposure to the sun.

If you’re a beauty enthusiast (or beauty-curious beginner) scrolling TikTok or beauty blogs lately, you’ve probably seen the LYMA Laser PRO pop up. It’s sleek, futuristic, celeb-loved — and yes, it costs nearly $6,000. 

Recently launched with FDA clearance in the U.S. with a $100 Million waiting list, the LYMA Laser PRO is billed as the most powerful at-home laser device available. But is it really worth all the hype (and your hard-earned savings)? Let’s unpack the science, what it actually does for your skin, and how it stacks up to more wallet-friendly alternatives.

Enter the world of "Recession Copper"—a thoughtfully crafted approach to red hair that's redefining how we maintain our signature warmth during budget-conscious times.
