If you want to improve your skin texture and hydration simultaneously with LDM water drop lifting at our Gangnam branch

June 23, 2026

Hello.

I am Director Jung-Hwang Information of Cleor Clinic Gangnam Branch.

Have you ever felt that your skin surface is rough and your makeup doesn't sit well, even though you are diligent with your basic skincare routine?

"Even though I go through all the moisturizing steps, my base makeup keeps flaking off.

My skin texture looks dull, and I am also concerned about mild redness."

The condition of the skin surface is an area influenced by the distribution of collagen in the upper dermis and the balance of extracellular matrix components such as GAG and HA.

When this balance declines, the surface appears rough and the moisture-retention environment weakens, creating a situation where absorption feels slow even when using the same moisturizing care.

Gangnam Water Drop Lifting is a treatment that applies multi-frequency ultrasound to the upper dermis to promote a regenerative environment and surface hydration.

Today, I will summarize which equipment is used for Gangnam Water Drop Lifting and how the 6-minute and 12-minute options differ.

What is Gangnam Water Drop Lifting?

👉 Gangnam Water Drop Lifting is a treatment that uses the LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) device from Wellcomet in Germany to apply 1, 3, and 10MHz multi-frequency ultrasound to the upper dermis.

It is a treatment line often called 'Water Drop Lifting' because the surface hydration is noticeable immediately after the procedure.

LDM is a medical device that outputs multi-frequency ultrasound in an alternating manner.

It works by having different wavelengths act alternately at short intervals, creating micro-vibrations and pressure changes in the upper dermis.

In this process, the activity of collagen-degrading enzymes (MMP) is inhibited, and fibroblasts and heat shock proteins (HSP) are activated, which is known to help restore surface condition and establish a soothing environment.

Technical Features of Gangnam Water Drop Lifting

👉 Gangnam Water Drop Lifting is a treatment line with four key features: LDM multi-frequency ultrasound, selective action on the upper dermis, operation of regeneration and redness modes, and a repetitive cumulative care structure.

LDM Multi-frequency Ultrasound

Different frequencies of 1, 3, and 10MHz are outputted alternately at short intervals.

Unlike a single frequency, it creates dynamic vibrations and pressure changes within the dermis, leading to both tissue stimulation and soothing effects.

Selective Action on the Upper Dermis

LDM wavelengths are designed to act primarily on the epidermis and the upper dermis.

Unlike treatments that deliver strong heat to deep layers, it acts on areas close to the surface, making it known as a suitable line for refining surface condition and soothing.

Regeneration and Redness Mode Operation

LDM is a device designed with different action directions for each mode.

At the Gangnam branch, we operate with regeneration and redness modes to help restore surface texture and soothe temporary redness simultaneously.

Repetitive Cumulative Care Structure

  • LDM is not a treatment that brings about a major change at once, but rather a line where cumulative changes take hold through repeated sessions at short intervals.

It is known to be configured for cumulative care at 5-7 day intervals.

Effects and Advantages of Gangnam Water Drop Lifting

👉 The key advantages of Gangnam Water Drop Lifting can be summarized into three points: surface hydration and texture recovery, combination of soothing and redness care, and a treatment with minimal impact on daily life.

  • First, surface hydration and texture recovery.

It is reported that LDM action leads to the rearrangement of GAG and HA in the upper dermis, making it a treatment known for leaving the surface feeling moist and the texture refined immediately after the procedure.

Next, soothing and redness care are combined.

The multi-frequency action is operated in modes focused on temporary redness and irritation soothing, making it a recommended line for refining sensitive surface conditions.

  • Finally, it is a treatment with minimal impact on daily life.

As it is a non-invasive ultrasound action structure rather than a procedure that causes epidermal damage, it is reported that returning to daily life immediately after the procedure is easy.

Gangnam Water Drop Lifting Options

👉 At the Gangnam branch, we operate LDM regeneration and redness mode care with two time options: 6 minutes and 12 minutes.

  • LDM is a care line that accumulates changes through repetition at short intervals rather than a line with a large range of change in one session.

It is sometimes combined immediately after other procedures for the purpose of assisting post-procedure recovery, and it is also operated as a standalone treatment.

The time option suitable for your skin condition and schedule will be reviewed during the preliminary consultation.

Who is Gangnam Water Drop Lifting for?

Those who feel their skin surface is rough and dull even after basic skincare

Those whose makeup does not sit well and flakes off

Those concerned about both mild redness and surface irritation

Those looking for non-invasive care with minimal impact on daily life

Those who want to receive cumulative care at short intervals

Side Effects and Things to Know Before Gangnam Water Drop Lifting

👉 Gangnam Water Drop Lifting is a line where surface condition gradually stabilizes through repetitive cumulative care rather than immediate, drastic changes.

Since LDM is a non-invasive ultrasound action without epidermal damage, the possibility of side effects from the procedure itself is reported to be relatively low.

However, in very sensitive skin, mild vibrations and temporary tingling may accompany the procedure, which usually subsides immediately after.

While surface hydration and texture refinement are reported immediately after the procedure, other options are recommended for deep layer changes or strong volume and contour changes.

As LDM is often combined for post-procedure recovery assistance, it is recommended to check the possible timing for the procedure during the preliminary consultation if you have had other strong treatments.

Please inform us in advance as the procedure may be restricted in the following cases:

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding

If you have active herpes or infection in the treatment area

If you use internal electrical devices such as a pacemaker

If you have recently received strong peeling or high-energy procedures in the treatment area

If you are taking photosensitive medication

⚠️ Precautions Before and After Gangnam Water Drop Lifting

👉 For Gangnam Water Drop Lifting, management at each stage before and after the procedure affects recovery and the feeling of results.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. Are Gangnam Water Drop Lifting and LDM the same procedure?

  • They are different names for the same equipment.

  • The official name is LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) from Wellcomet in Germany, and it is a line also called 'Water Drop Lifting' due to the characteristic of noticeable surface hydration and moisture immediately after the procedure.

  • Q. How should I choose between the 6-minute and 12-minute Gangnam Water Drop Lifting options?

  • The 6-minute option is recommended when you want to lightly refine your surface condition or when you want to check the feeling of the procedure first, and the 12-minute option is recommended when you want to take a broader approach to soothing the results.

  • The option suitable for your skin condition will be determined during the preliminary consultation.

Q. When can I see the effects of Gangnam Water Drop Lifting?

Changes in surface hydration and texture refinement are reported immediately after the procedure.

However, as it is not a line that brings about a large change at once, but a configuration that gradually stabilizes through cumulative care at 5-7 day intervals, the accumulation of sessions affects the stability of the results.

Q. Can Gangnam Water Drop Lifting be received with other procedures?

LDM is a line often combined for the purpose of assisting post-procedure recovery.

It is common to use it for surface soothing and recovery assistance immediately after strong procedures such as lasers, peeling, HIFU, or RF, and the combination schedule will be reviewed during the preliminary consultation.

Q. How much pain is involved in Gangnam Water Drop Lifting?

As it is a non-invasive ultrasound action structure, there is almost no pain.

A mild vibration and a cool sensation accompany it, and the procedure itself is conducted in a comfortable environment.

Q. Can I wear makeup immediately after receiving Gangnam Water Drop Lifting?

As it is a non-invasive treatment, light makeup is possible immediately after the procedure.

  • If you have received it in combination with other strong procedures, it is recommended to follow the recovery schedule of the combined procedure.

  • Q. Does Gangnam Water Drop Lifting also help with facial contours?

  • Since LDM is a line that acts on the epidermis and upper dermis, it is a treatment focused on refining surface texture and condition.

  • As facial contours or deep layer tightening are areas where other options such as HIFU or RF are recommended, the combination will be determined during the preliminary consultation.

  • The condition of the skin surface is an area influenced by the distribution of collagen in the upper dermis and the balance of the extracellular matrix.

When this balance declines, absorption feels slow even when using the same basic skincare, and an environment is created where surface texture and moisture retention are weakened.

Gangnam Water Drop Lifting is a treatment that applies LDM multi-frequency ultrasound from Wellcomet in Germany to the upper dermis to provide regeneration, redness soothing, and surface hydration simultaneously.

At the Gangnam branch, it is operated with two time options, 6 minutes and 12 minutes, allowing you to choose according to your skin condition and schedule.

The option configuration suitable for your skin condition will be confirmed directly during the consultation.

본인 피부 상태에 맞는 옵션은 사전 진료에서 함께 정리합니다.

Q. 강남 물방울 리프팅 효과는 언제부터 보이나요?

시술 직후 표면 수분감과 결 정돈 변화가 보고되는 편이에요.

다만 한 번에 큰 변화를 가져가는 라인이 아니라

5~7일 간격 누적 케어로 점진적으로 자리 잡는 구성이라

회차 누적이 결과 안정에 영향을 줍니다.

Q. 강남 물방울 리프팅은 다른 시술과 함께 받을 수 있나요?

LDM은 시술 후 회복 보조 목적으로 결합되는 경우가 많은 라인이에요.

레이저·박피·HIFU·RF 같은 강한 시술 직후에

표면 진정과 회복 보조로 가져가는 흐름이 일반적이고,

조합 일정은 사전 진료에서 함께 살펴봅니다.

Q. 강남 물방울 리프팅 통증은 어느 정도인가요?

비침습 초음파 작용 구조라 통증은 거의 없는 편이에요.

가벼운 진동감과 시원한 감각이 동반되고 시술 자체는 편안한 환경에서 진행됩니다.

Q. 강남 물방울 리프팅 받고 바로 메이크업이 가능한가요?

비침습 케어라 시술 직후 가벼운 메이크업이 가능한 편이에요.

다른 강한 시술과 함께 받은 경우에는 결합된 시술의

회복 일정에 맞춰 가져가시는 게 권해집니다.

Q. 강남 물방울 리프팅으로 얼굴 라인까지 잡히나요?

LDM은 표피·진피 상층부에 작용하는 라인이라

피부 표면 컨디션은 진피 상층부의

콜라겐 분포와 세포외기질 균형에 영향을 받는 영역입니다.

이 균형이 가라앉으면 같은 기초 케어를 해도 흡수가 더디게 느껴지고

표면 결과 수분 보유 환경이 약해지는 환경이 만들어져요.

강남 물방울 리프팅은 독일 웰코멧사의 LDM 다중 주파수 초음파를

진피 상층부에 작용시켜 재생과 홍조 진정,

표면 수분감을 함께 가져가는 케어입니다.
