What is LDM, in short?
LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) is a high-frequency ultrasound skin treatment from Korea, often called “water-drop lifting”. It alternates ultrasound frequencies to stimulate the skin, helping it hold moisture, calm redness and look firmer. It is gentle, needle-free and has no downtime, so it is popular after stronger treatments and before events.
