LDM is ultrasound-based calming and recovery care and does not replace treatment for sagging, pigmentation or scars. The change you feel and how long it lasts depend on your skin condition, and the interval between sessions is decided after consultation.

02What to expect
Changes over time
The fine vibrations created as the frequency changes give the tissue a gentle stimulus, helping to calm red, sensitised skin and balance its hydration. Because it does not build up heat, the burden of irritation is low.
01Right after the session
The skin often feels hydrated and comfortable. You return to daily life right away.
02A few days
We check how much the redness and warmth have subsided.
03Repeated care
A few sessions are received in a row, matched to your skin condition, to stabilise it.
04Maintenance
Once stable, the intervals are lengthened for maintenance. The interval is decided based on progress.
03Device & Technology

06FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What kind of care is LDM?
It is care that delivers ultrasound of different frequencies to the skin in rapid alternation. The fine vibrations created as the frequency changes give the tissue a gentle stimulus, helping to calm sensitised skin and balance its hydration.
Is it different from the ultrasound (HIFU) used for lifting?
Yes. HIFU such as Ultherapy PRIME is a lifting device that focuses ultrasound onto a single point to create thermal coagulation points, whereas LDM is a device that cares for the skin with fine vibrations, without building up heat. Its purpose is also closer to calming and recovery than to lifting.
Who is it suited to?
We mainly recommend it for those whose redness and warmth linger after laser or injection treatments, and those whose skin becomes sensitive easily and is dry. Because it is low in irritation, it can be received with relatively little burden even when the skin barrier is weakened.
Can I have it right after another treatment?
Depending on the type of treatment and your skin condition, it is sometimes received on the same day as follow-on calming care. However, areas with wounds or crusts must be avoided, so whether to combine it and in what order is decided after consultation.
Does it hurt, or is there a recovery period?
You feel only a faint vibration, so there is almost no pain and no numbing is needed. You can return to daily life, including face washing and makeup, right after the session.
How often should I have it?
It depends on your skin condition and any treatments you receive alongside it. When sensitivity is severe, a few sessions are received in a row at short intervals, and once the skin stabilises, the intervals are lengthened for maintenance, as explained after consultation.
Are there cases where it is not suitable?
It should be avoided if there is an infection or wound in the treatment area. If you are pregnant, or have recently had an injection treatment such as filler or a skin booster in the treatment area, please tell us during your consultation.
