What is LDM ( Local Dynamic Massage)?
Local Dynamic Micro Massage, or LDM, is a non-invasive procedure used to treat skin problems in the dermis and epidermis layers. It makes use of ultrasonic energy at higher frequencies to bring about a strong “micro-massage” effect on the skin tissues.
This effect stimulates and activates fibroblasts in the skin, that results in the regeneration of collagen, elastin as well as hyaluronic acid, for a more lifted, and rejuvenated look.
How the LDM treatment is Done?
There are various steps involved in a Local Dynamic Micro Massage, including a head massage, double cleansing, application of peeling liquids, extractions, application of an LDM machine, lymphatic drainage massage, application of facial masks as well as application of protectant creams. The entire LDM procedure, hence, takes about 90 minutes to complete.
How does the Local Dynamic Micro Massage (LDM) work?
Each step in a Local Dynamic Micro Massage helps the skin in one way or the other. Double cleansing done can help remove the day’s build up and prepare the skin. Peeling liquids applied help with the removal of dead skin, that helps even out the skin tone.
The LDM machine itself, sends duo-frequency ultrasound waves to stimulate collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid regeneration. And finally, the lymphatic drainage massage helps detoxify the skin tissues by removing any lymphatic build-up and cleanses the skin from within.
To top it off, the additional massages and creams help relax the skin, adding to the natural rejuvenation of the facial tissues.
