LDM
LDM is a dual-frequency ultrasound skin care device. See how to ask about the device and session plan in English.
How it works
LDM stands for local dynamic micro-massage, and it uses dual-frequency ultrasound. The handpiece is moved over the skin with water as the contact medium, and the sound waves produce gentle vibration. It is used in skin care plans aimed at calming and hydrating skin, including skin with redness. Ask the clinic which maker supplies the unit it uses. Effects are usually mild, and results vary by person.
Good to know
- Treatment is generally comfortable, with no needles.
- Water or gel is used between the handpiece and skin.
- A series of sessions is common.
- Ask what the goal is for each session, such as calming or hydration.
Asking about LDM in English
LDM is a short name that may be used by several machines. Ask the coordinator to give the full product name and the maker. Also ask what the session includes, such as masks or serums.
Ask the doctor what the aim is and how you can tell it is helping. A simple question is, "How many sessions before we review?" If you have rosacea or very sensitive skin, tell the doctor and ask how the plan will adapt.
