Quick answer
What is LDM?
LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) is a German ultrasound technology that alternates two high frequencies to create a fine micro-vibration in the tissue. This gently stimulates circulation and lymph flow, calms inflammation and helps skin hold water — without heat, needles or downtime.
In Korean clinics LDM, often called the water-drop lifting care, is commonly added after lasers or peels to settle redness, or on its own for dull, dehydrated or sensitive skin. It pairs well with an oxygen facial for a glow before an event.

FAQ
LDM questions
Does LDM hurt?
No. Most people feel only a light warmth or nothing at all, and many find it relaxing.
Can LDM be done after laser?
Yes. It is often done right after lasers or peels to soothe the skin and reduce redness.
Is LDM a lifting treatment?
It can make skin feel firmer over a series, but it is mainly a calming and hydrating treatment rather than a strong lift.
How often should I have LDM?
Weekly for a short series, then monthly, or as an add-on whenever you have a laser.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
