Hongdae LDM,
How to Get It So You Can Truly See the Effect

“Isn’t LDM just a simple skin care treatment?
Does it really work?”
As interest in skin care grows, many people end up wondering this.
If you look it up, you’ll find many posts saying ‘Hongdae LDM works well,’ but also reviews saying ‘it wasn’t that great,’ which can be confusing.
From seeing patients, I always feel that the effect can change completely depending on ‘how you receive it.’
Today, I’ll explain what LDM is and how to maintain its effects for a long time in an easy-to-understand way.

What Is LDM?

LDM may look like a simple treatment where a machine gently moves over the face from the outside, but it is actually an ultrasound treatment that stimulates cells within the skin.
Although you can’t see it, millions of vibrations per second are occurring inside the skin.

The LDM machine uses three types of ultrasound at the same time: 1MHz, 3MHz, and 10MHz.
Each wavelength acts on a different layer of the skin and plays a different role.
1MHz (megahertz) reaches the deep layers of the skin, that is, the dermis, helping circulation within the skin and removing waste.
3MHz works in the middle layer of the skin, helping open moisture pathways and maintain a hydrated condition.
10MHz ultrasound acts near the skin’s surface and helps calm sensitive or reddened skin.
As these three different wavelengths alternate,
they stimulate both the inner and outer layers of the skin at the same time,
strengthening the skin barrier and creating a deep moisturizing effect that allows moisture to penetrate into the dermis.

LDM treatment is especially suitable for people whose skin is sensitive and who find strong procedures burdensome, or for those troubled by acne marks or inner dryness.
It can also be performed in an “inflammation relief mode” when inflammation is severe, so it can be applied without strain even to skin with redness or breakouts.
In other words, its biggest advantage is that it can be customized not only during stable periods of the skin, but also during recovery stages when inflammation is present.

The Effect Increases When Combined
with Other Procedures

LDM is good on its own, but it creates much greater synergy when combined with other procedures.
Especially after laser toning or peeling, when the skin has become sensitive with heat and redness,
the ultrasound energy of LDM quickly replenishes moisture inside the skin and soothes inflammation, helping recovery happen faster.

LDM consists of multiple modes and can be adjusted into modes such as the basic 6-minute calming mode, as well as elasticity, regeneration, and inflammation relief modes.
If you choose according to your skin condition, the result can differ even within the same amount of time.
Also, because ultrasound cannot travel through air, enough gel must be applied for the energy to be properly delivered to the skin.
If the handpiece does not glide smoothly or stings during the treatment, it means there is not enough gel.
In that case, don’t hesitate to say, “Could you please apply a little more gel?” ^^

Post-Treatment Lifestyle Habits
Determine the Effect

LDM is not a one-time treatment.
For cells within the skin to become activated, a certain level of stimulation must be repeated.
Usually, about five sessions at 2- to 3-week intervals are recommended, and following this cycle allows the effects to build up steadily.
But even more important than that is your lifestyle after the treatment.
For example, if you go to bed late or toss and turn often while sleeping, skin regeneration will not occur properly.
The time from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. is when the skin recovers on its own, so getting deep sleep then is the most important thing.
Make sure to stay hydrated, too.
Because LDM is a treatment that helps circulation, you need to steadily drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water a day to fully feel its effect.
Also, salty or spicy foods cause swelling and block circulation.
On the other hand, fresh vegetables and fruits, and foods rich in antioxidants, help maintain the effect of the treatment for longer.
For Hongdae LDM, when you receive it and in what mode are the most important factors.
If you combine it with LDM when your skin is sensitive after laser or peeling, you’ll be able to directly feel the irritation calming down quickly and moisture rising within the skin.
The basic mode takes about 6 minutes, but the time can vary depending on the purpose, such as inflammation relief or elasticity improvement.
Enough gel must be applied for the effect to be delivered well, so if you feel any discomfort during the treatment, feel free to let them know.
If you adjust things step by step like that, you’ll naturally be able to feel your skin becoming healthier over time.
