Meta Cell Technology (MCT)

Meta Cell Technology (MCT) in Seoul — personalized autologous treatment planning

Meta Cell Technology: a system using controlled light and temperature to process a patient’s own biological material. Controlled light and temperature condition the preparation before use. Processing alone does not establish clinical benefit.

It may be considered for whether an autologous preparation belongs in a skin or scalp plan. At Glassy, your dermatologist plans the area, intensity or product around your skin and goals, with comfort considered throughout.

    Contact the clinic if symptoms are worsening or do not match the advice you were given.

  • Have a known allergy to a proposed product or numbing medicine.
  • Take medicines, have a medical condition, or have had recent treatment in the same area.
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your doctor will discuss whether to postpone the proposed procedure.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Meta Cell Technology (MCT)?

Meta Cell Technology: a system using controlled light and temperature to process a patient’s own biological material. Controlled light and temperature condition the preparation before use. Processing alone does not establish clinical benefit.

Is MCT identical to PRP?

No. PRP describes a blood-derived preparation; MCT describes additional processing. Ask what is prepared and what evidence supports the proposed use.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of visits and spacing are personalized. We discuss a starting plan and review your response before recommending further treatment.

Can I combine it with another treatment?

Tell the clinic what you have recently had and what you are planning. Combining procedures is a separate decision; it depends on your skin, the products and the time available for recovery.
