What is LDM, and is it right for me?
LDM is an ultrasound skin treatment that uses high-density cross-frequency ultrasound (1, 3 and 10 MHz) to support cell activation and regeneration. It suits sensitive or damaged skin and skin recovering after procedures. Improvement in barrier and firmness builds with regular care every 1 to 2 weeks, there is no downtime, and it starts from ₩120,000 (VAT excl.) at Liftique in Sinsa, Seoul.
Calm, strengthen and support your skin
Not every visit needs to be about change. Sometimes skin simply needs to recover. LDM delivers high-density cross-frequency ultrasound at 1, 3 and 10 MHz to induce cell activation and regeneration deep in the skin, with expected benefits of barrier strengthening, moisturising, soothing and improved firmness.
It is gentle and non-irritating, which is why we also use it as standard aftercare with major procedures, including Ultherapy, Thermage, ONDA, Rejuran and Juvelook. If you are travelling to Seoul for treatment, LDM may be the quiet step that helps your skin look settled before you fly home.

How Liftique performs LDM
-
Diagnosis
A board-certified dermatologist reviews your skin and goals, supported by 2D Mark-Vu skin analysis and 3D EVE MUSE facial analysis, and decides whether LDM suits you alone or alongside another treatment.
-
Choosing the mode
LDM has two modes: a 12-minute regeneration mode and a 20-minute lifting mode. Your doctor selects the mode for your skin's needs.
-
Ultrasound treatment
Cross-frequency ultrasound at 1, 3 and 10 MHz is applied to the skin. LDM is non-irritating, so no anaesthesia is needed.
-
LED and clay mask
Each session finishes with regenerative LED and a clay mask. The full visit takes 30 to 40 minutes.
