This is Gyeonggi Anyang Beomgye KKEUT Korean Clinic's procedure note on LDM Soothing Care: Why is it essential for acne-prone skin.
When thinking about acne management, many often only consider simple cleansing or acne extraction.
However, skin care consists of various stages, from cleansing to remove waste products, soothing to calm inflammation, and regenerative care to aid in the recovery of damaged skin tissue.
Skin with acne already has inflammation occurring inside the pores.
Such skin can react sensitively to minor stimuli and easily become red.
If procedures involving physical irritation, such as extraction or peeling, are performed before the inflammation has calmed down, skin problems tend to spread more widely.
Some may have experienced worsened redness and breakouts after receiving care focused primarily on cleansing and extraction.
If the correct treatment order is not followed, it may be difficult to expect satisfactory improvement.
This is precisely why soothing care should be prioritized when managing acne-prone skin.
By calming the inflammatory response first, and then proceeding with cleansing or regenerative care, the irritation to the skin can be reduced.
Therefore, planning and carrying out cleansing, soothing, and regenerative care at appropriate times is a crucial treatment approach.
LDM treatment is sometimes utilized for this type of soothing care.

LDM differs from typical ultrasound procedures in its operating method.
It doesn't just use a single frequency, but rather operates by continuously changing and delivering multiple frequencies.
At this time, different frequencies overlap, resulting in a complex effect, as if multiple frequencies are being delivered simultaneously.
Thanks to this overlapping effect, stimulation can be delivered deep into the skin, while the stimulation on the skin surface may feel relatively less.
This operating principle can have a positive effect on skin sensitized by inflammation.
This procedure is performed without heat or severe pain, making discomfort during treatment minimal.

LDM can be utilized in various ways, including not only soothing skin troubles but also strengthening the skin barrier, promoting skin regeneration, and aiding in the recovery process after other procedures.
Therefore, LDM is often combined with other treatments or used during skincare routines to soothe the skin.
Generally, when based on a single mode, an LDM treatment time of 12 minutes is recommended.
While some places perform it for a shorter duration, these 12 minutes can serve as a criterion for judging whether the treatment is being performed appropriately.
Adhering to the treatment time indicates the thoroughness of the care.
If multiple modes are applied together, the total duration may be longer.

One common misconception about LDM during acne management is equating it with home-use ultrasound devices.
Only genuine devices from Wellcomet can officially use the name 'LDM'.
Genuine LDM devices are large-scale, significant in size and weight, and this scale is necessary to properly implement the overlapping effects of multiple frequencies.
Therefore, it may be difficult to expect the same effects from small, home-use devices.
It can be helpful to check beforehand which device is being used before receiving treatment.

Generally, we recommend consistent treatment approximately once a week for about 10 sessions, over a total period of 3 months.
Acne is a skin issue that requires ongoing management rather than a short-term solution, so a consistent approach is important.
The fact that it causes minimal irritation and can be done daily without significant burden is a noteworthy feature when planning your treatment.
The more consistently you receive treatment, the more you will experience a gradual improvement in your skin's natural regenerative power.
Since treatment methods may vary among hospitals and clinics, it is advisable to confirm the treatment protocol through a consultation.

Soothing Care Expertise
Some clinics approach LDM not merely as an additional procedure for acne-prone skin management, but as one of the core treatments.
Some facilities explain this approach using the concept of 'skin savings'.
This means that even if the irritation from each session is not significant, consistent repetition can gradually strengthen the skin's environment itself.
The fact that it is a treatment from which various benefits can be expected, including not only trouble soothing but also anti-aging effects, is also consistent with this concept.

Some clinics provide guidance for patients to directly verify whether genuine Wellcomet equipment is being used.
Furthermore, they explain in detail that the equipment is expensive and that only large-scale specifications can properly manifest the overlapping effects.
Whether genuine devices are used is one of the important considerations when choosing a procedure.

At our clinic, we adhere to the prescribed treatment time of 12 minutes for all procedures.
Performing the procedure for a sufficient duration allows for the intricate processes necessary for the skin. This requires a delicate approach.
This delicacy stems from the expertise gained through extensive experience in performing treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. When is the best time to receive LDM in acne skin care?
A. You may consider LDM treatment early in your acne management, aiming for skin soothing. This is because if irritating treatments are performed first when inflammation is severe, there is a possibility that skin problems may worsen.
Q. Is it okay to receive acne skin care every day?
A. LDM treatment involves minimal irritation to the skin, making daily sessions possible depending on your acne management plan. However, more satisfactory results may be seen when treatments are received at consistent intervals.
Q. Can home devices replace professional acne skin care?
A. Generally, this is difficult. The genuine LDM device used for acne care is a professional machine from Wellcomet, which operates through specific overlapping effects. Such functions are difficult to expect from home-use ultrasound devices.
Q. If I only receive LDM for acne skin care, will scars also improve?
A. LDM primarily focuses on soothing the skin, aiding regeneration, and strengthening the skin barrier. If you desire improvement in deeper skin tissues, such as scars, we recommend discussing the possibility of combining it with other treatments during your acne management consultation.
Q. Can I combine other treatments during acne skin care?
A. Yes, it can be combined with other treatments. For example, when combining treatments like Potenza or Exosomes, LDM is often used for skin soothing. However, since the order or interval of treatments may vary depending on the patient's individual skin condition, it is best to decide after consulting with a medical professional.
