LDM Water Drop prices at Dernia (2026)

LDM Water Drop Lifting is a gentle ultrasound treatment that alternates between two frequencies as the handpiece glides over the skin. It is used to soothe, hydrate and calm the skin, which is why it is so often added straight after lasers, peels or microneedling. Despite the name, any lifting effect is subtle and temporary; its real strength is calm, comfortable, well-hydrated skin. At Dernia Clinic Myeongdong, the price depends on whether you have a single session or a course.

Option	What it covers	Price (KRW)
1 session	Full face, stand-alone	₩59,000
1 session with ampoule mask	Full face plus a soothing ampoule mask	₩89,000
5-session course	Full face, about ₩49,800 per session	₩249,000
10-session course	Full face, about ₩44,900 per session	₩449,000

Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation. When LDM is added to another treatment on the same day, the combined price is shown on that treatment's price page.

Skincare advice for keeping your skin calm and hydrated

What affects the price

Stand-alone or add-on: LDM after another treatment is priced as part of that visit.
Ampoule mask: a soothing ampoule mask adds extra calm and moisture.
Course length: a 10-session course brings the cost down to about ₩44,900 per session.
Your goal: sensitive, redness-prone or dehydrated skin often benefits more from a series than from a single session.

How many sessions you need and the cost of a course

A single session gives an immediate soothing, hydrated feel that lasts a few days. For ongoing calm, many people have weekly sessions for a few weeks, then continue with LDM as a regular add-on. A 5-session course costs ₩249,000 before VAT and suits a two- to three-week stay or regular visits. Because there is no downtime, LDM fits anywhere in a trip, including the day before you fly. It is also included in several packages, such as the First Glow Package with pico toning and a skin booster.

How to compare LDM prices between clinics

Some clinics in Seoul include LDM with other treatments, while others charge for it separately or use different ultrasound devices under similar names. Ask whether the device is LDM, how long the session lasts and whether masks or ampoules are included. Our guide to shots, lines and cc explains how Korean clinics quote treatments.

VAT and payment

All prices exclude 10% VAT, so a ₩59,000 session is ₩64,900 at checkout. The VAT refund on cosmetic procedures for foreign patients ended on January 1, 2026, so there is nothing to reclaim at the airport. See payment and tax for how payment works at Dernia.

Alternatives at different budgets

Laser toning from ₩49,000 per full-face session, for gradual brightening and often paired with LDM
Hydrafacial and Aqua Peel from ₩69,000 per session, for deep cleansing and an instant glow. Compare them in Hydrafacial vs LDM Water Drop.
Hyaluronic acid skin booster from ₩99,000 for 2cc, for longer-lasting hydration from within the skin

How much is LDM in Seoul?

At Dernia, LDM Water Drop starts from ₩59,000 per session, before 10% VAT. With an ampoule mask it is ₩89,000, a 5-session course is ₩249,000 and a 10-session course is ₩449,000.

What does LDM Water Drop actually do?

It uses gentle, alternating ultrasound to soothe and hydrate the skin. Most people notice calmer, more comfortable, dewier skin straight away. Any tightening is subtle and short-lived, so it is not a replacement for lifting treatments.

Why do clinics add LDM after laser treatments?

Lasers, peels and microneedling can leave skin warm, red and dry. LDM helps calm that heat and redness and makes the skin feel more comfortable, which is why it often finishes other treatments.

How often should I have LDM?

Weekly sessions for a few weeks work well for sensitive or dehydrated skin. After that, many people simply add LDM whenever they have another treatment.

Who should avoid LDM?

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, have an implanted electronic device or have an active skin infection. They will confirm whether it suits you.
