This is a guide to LDM-MED compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 1).
Many people have experienced makeup applied over acne leaving marks or making their skin more sensitive. We've summarized how treatments that create a clean base, then soothe and refine skin texture, are performed in the clinic.
Limitations of Self-Care
When acne appears, indiscriminately applying products that are said to be good for it can sometimes lead to no improvement or even worsen the condition. If infected after squeezing, marks can linger for a long time.
Rather than following methods others recommend without checking your skin condition, it's important to first assess your condition.
What LASEMD Addresses
LASEMD is used for those who feel that cosmetics are not well absorbed. The concept is to help the skin improve on its own, rather than deeply delivering active ingredients. It uses CDS technology to protect ingredients vulnerable to heat or moisture, and uses ingredients free of artificial fragrances and colors.
What Exosomes Add
Exosomes involve culturing and injecting ingredients containing nutritional substances into the skin, and are known as 4th-generation skin boosters. Composed of various ingredients including hyaluronic acid, they are used for various concerns such as brightening, radiance, and soothing, and also address elasticity and barrier strengthening.
What LDM Addresses
LDM is a method used for hydration lifting, which stimulates collagen-producing enzymes to address skin structure. It is used to balance concerns such as acne, facial redness, and tightening by managing hyaluronic acid content while reducing the burden of damage or pain.

Why We Consider These Three Together
LASEMD, exosomes, and LDM each address different aspects, so combining them according to your condition can broaden the scope of treatment. However, the combination and application method will vary depending on the individual's skin condition.
Why Consultation Comes First
Applying just any product that is said to be good for the skin can actually be burdensome if it's not suitable, so it's best to start at a place that diagnoses based on experience.
For post-acne soothing and texture care, a customized approach is crucial. If you are concerned about marks and sensitivity, we recommend checking your skin condition first.
