Regenerative Anti-Aging with MetaCell (MCT): The Complete Guide — Process, Frequency, Precautions

For those concerned about skin aging but hesitant about a surgical approach, regenerative anti-aging treatments are often the first place to look. Here's a Q&A guide to the MetaCell (MCT) program at Kim Jongseo Plastic Surgery (Apgujeong, Seoul).

How does MCT work?

This program uses ingredients that support the skin's own cellular regeneration environment, aiming to boost the skin's natural recovery ability. Rather than a temporary change, the focus is on fundamentally improving overall skin condition.

Who is it recommended for?

We generally recommend MCT to those experiencing a combination of reduced skin elasticity, fine lines, and rough texture, and who want a treatment with minimal downtime. Suitability depends on your skin condition, so an in-person consultation comes first.

What's the process and how often should I get it?

After consultation and diagnosis, numbing cream is applied before treatment, which typically takes 30 minutes to an hour. Sessions are generally repeated every 2–4 weeks as a baseline, adjusted according to your skin condition.

What should I watch for afterward?

Avoid alcohol, sauna use, and strenuous exercise on the day of treatment, and we recommend moisturizing and sun protection. Temporary redness or bruising at the injection sites generally improves within a few days, though this varies by individual.
