When considering skin care, even for procedures with the same name, the methods used by different institutions often vary significantly, which can be confusing.

Even if the procedure name is the same, if there are differences in the equipment used, the order of steps, or the time required, the results you experience may also differ.

Therefore, before choosing a medical institution, we have organized the key points to check into three stages: consultation, procedure composition, and post-procedure care.

Criterion 1. Method of assessing skin condition during consultation

The first part to look at is the consultation process.

Different skin conditions, such as oily, dry and sensitive, or acne-prone skin, require appropriate treatment sequences.

If a place suggests a fixed treatment course without a thorough assessment of your skin condition, it's advisable to reconsider carefully.

Asking what treatment steps your skin currently needs and what purpose each step serves will help you gauge the professionalism of the consultation.

Especially if you have acne-prone skin, you should also check whether minimizing irritation and promoting calming care is primarily needed.

This topic is discussed in more detail in the article Acne Skin Care: Why LDM Calming Treatment May Be Needed First.

Criterion 2. Procedure Composition and Design

Next, you should examine the specific design of the procedure.

For example, while some Aqua Peel procedures simply finish in 3 steps, others may involve a total of 5 steps, such as softening sebum before finishing with a Jaungo modeling mask.

It is also important to check whether the peeling solution is used in appropriate amounts without dilution, and whether individual tips are replaced for each application of the solution to ensure a customized approach.

The principles and expected effects of Aqua Peel are explained in detail in the article Aqua Peel Effects and Principles, so this article focuses on guiding you through what to check when choosing a procedure.

When choosing LDM treatment, it is necessary to first verify that the device used is genuine.

The name 'LDM' can only be used for genuine devices from Wellcomet, and other devices cannot be referred to as LDM.

Household products sold in the market labeled as 'LDM' are different from professional LDM devices and are considered general household ultrasonic devices.

It may be difficult for small devices to achieve the characteristic three-frequency superposition effect of LDM.

LDM fundamentally differs from general ultrasonic treatments in its mode of action, delivering energy to the skin by alternating multiple frequencies.

Information about whether the device used is genuine should ideally be transparently provided to the patient before the procedure.

Procedure time is also an important verification factor. For LDM, the standard time per mode is approximately 12 minutes.

By multiplying the number of modes you are advised to receive by 12 minutes to estimate the total duration, you can gauge whether the procedure is being performed appropriately.

Criterion 3. Post-Procedure Continuous Care Plan

Finally, the aspect to check is the post-procedure care plan.

It is best to understand this procedure not as a one-time event, but as an ongoing process of continuously improving the skin environment.

Generally, it is recommended to receive treatment consistently, about 10 sessions at 1-week intervals, over a period of 3 months.

It is acceptable to receive daily treatments, and the treatment interval can be flexibly adjusted according to individual skin condition.

It can help improve the skin environment for various purposes such as trouble relief, calming, anti-aging, and post-procedure recovery, thus having a wide range of applications.

Therefore, we recommend checking whether the consultation provides a detailed explanation of the specific care plan, including the total number of sessions and intervals.
