MCT Metacell Effects and Principles: Understanding PBM Technology at HERSHE Plastic Surgery
When considering skin care, many people become interested in approaches that look beyond simply supplying moisture or nutrients
and also consider skin condition and the recovery environment.
Those who feel that their skin elasticity, radiance, or overall condition is no longer what it used to be,
or who are seeking a more systematic approach to skin care, may explore various regenerative care programs.
Along with this growing interest, questions about MCT Metacell (MCT Meta Cell Technology) have also increased.
You may wonder what technology MCT Metacell uses, how it differs from conventional skin care, and what the PBM technology introduced on the website means.
HERSHE Plastic Surgery offers a program that combines HERSHE’s stem cell patent-based technology with MCT Metacell cellular activation technology.
This article explains the basic principles of MCT Metacell, PBM technology, the characteristics of each program, the treatment process, and precautions step by step.
What Is MCT Metacell?
MCT stands for MCT Meta Cell Technology,
a medical technology platform designed to support cellular function activation through PBM technology using light and temperature.
MCT Metacell uses components derived from the patient’s own blood or adipose tissue and applies the PBM technology of the MCT device.
An important point is that the program is designed not merely around the use of a particular component,
but also around that component’s characteristics and each individual’s care goals.
MCT Metacell can be explained through the following key technological elements.
1. PBM Technology: Technology that uses light and temperature to support cellular function activation
2. Growth Factor Activation: A technological approach related to growth factor activity
3. Exosome Release: A technological approach related to exosome release
In other words, MCT Metacell may be understood as a program that combines autologous components
and PBM technology while considering skin and overall condition management.
However, these technological principles do not guarantee the same skin changes or outcomes for everyone.
The application method and progress may vary depending on the individual’s skin and health condition and the selected program.
The Core of MCT Metacell: What Is PBM Technology?
To understand MCT Metacell, it is helpful first to understand PBM technology.
PBM is a technology that uses light (Photonic Energy) and temperature (Thermal Energy) to regulate cellular function and support activation.
What, then, does technology that uses light and temperature mean?
1. Technology Using Light Energy
Light can produce different responses in biological tissue depending on specific wavelengths and energy conditions.
PBM technology uses these properties of light energy as an approach to regulating the environment associated with cellular biological responses.
Based on technology using light energy, MCT Metacell considers factors related to growth factors, ATP production, platelet function, and exosome release.
2. Technology That Also Considers Thermal Energy
PBM technology considers factors related not only to light but also to temperature.
Inducing responses related to cellular function by regulating light and temperature conditions is a key explanation of MCT Metacell technology.
However, responses to light and temperature may vary depending on the application conditions and tissue characteristics.
It should therefore not be assumed that simply applying heat or light will produce identical results.
3. Key Factors Related to Cellular Function
The following factors are introduced in relation to PBM technology.
Increased Growth Factor Activity
Growth factors are various proteins involved in cell growth and proliferation, tissue maintenance, and recovery processes.
MCT technology considers responses related to growth factors.
Increased ATP Production
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is an energy-transfer molecule used by cells to carry out various biological activities.
As a factor related to cellular energy metabolism, it is also introduced as a key element in descriptions of MCT Metacell technology.
Improved Platelet Performance
Platelets play roles not only in hemostasis but also in relation to growth factors and various other bioactive substances.
MCT Metacell considers functional factors related to platelets in programs that use blood-derived components.
Increased Exosome Release
Exosomes are small vesicles secreted by cells and play a role in intercellular signaling.
MCT Metacell also considers technological factors related to exosome release.
Three MCT Metacell Programs at HERSHE Plastic Surgery
Each program differs in the components used and the care goals considered.
1. PRP Mode – Skin Program
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, meaning plasma rich in platelets.
This approach uses platelet-rich plasma components separated from blood and is associated with various bioactive substances,
including growth factors contained in platelets.
HERSHE Plastic Surgery introduces PRP Mode as a program that considers the following skin care goals.
Skin elasticity care
Skin radiance and condition care
A care plan that considers the individual’s skin condition
If skin elasticity and radiance are concerns, suitability can be assessed after consulting the medical team about the current skin condition and desired care direction.
However, using PRP does not necessarily improve skin elasticity or wrinkles, and outcomes vary by individual.
2. EXOSOME Mode – Regenerative Program
Exosomes are nanosized vesicles secreted by cells and are known to be involved in intercellular signaling.
HERSHE Plastic Surgery introduces EXOSOME Mode as a personalized program that considers overall physical condition and recovery care.
Exosome-related technologies are attracting interest in various research fields,
but their characteristics may vary depending on the source of the components, manufacturing method, and application method.
Before selecting a program, it is therefore important to confirm with the medical team
which components are used and whether the program can be applied given your health condition.
3. CELL Mode – Combination Program
CELL Mode is a combination program that considers both skin and overall condition management.
HERSHE Plastic Surgery explains that the program is designed according to each individual’s condition and care goals.
However, the name CELL Mode alone does not establish the specific cell type, whether culture is involved, or the components actually administered.
During consultation, it is advisable to confirm the tissue source of the components and how collection and processing are performed.
How Is the MCT Metacell Treatment Process Performed?
MCT Metacell proceeds in stages, from program selection and component preparation to device application.
STEP 01. Select the MCT Mode
First, the current condition and care goals are reviewed through consultation with the medical team.
An appropriate program is planned from PRP Mode, EXOSOME Mode, and CELL Mode, considering skin elasticity, radiance, and overall condition care.
STEP 02. Collect Autologous Blood or Adipose Tissue
The patient’s own blood or adipose tissue is collected according to the selected program.
Because the collection method varies by program, the specific method and precautions should be confirmed during consultation.
STEP 03. MCT KIT Processing
The collected blood- or adipose-derived components are processed using the MCT KIT, and the next stage is prepared according to the selected program.
This is the stage in which the components used in the MCT Metacell program are prepared.
STEP 04. Apply the MCT UNIT
The PBM technology of the MCT UNIT is applied to the prepared components.
The HERSHE Plastic Surgery website describes this as a process that uses PBM technology based on light and temperature to support cellular function activation.
The actual application method and subsequent care may vary depending on the selected program and the individual’s condition.
How Many MCT Metacell Sessions Are Needed?
One of the questions people ask about MCT Metacell concerns the number of sessions and duration.
Gradual changes may be observed after the first treatment, and both effects and duration vary by individual.
For those considering longer-term care, three or more sessions may also be recommended.
However, this does not mean that the same number of sessions or outcome applies to everyone.
The treatment plan may vary according to the following factors.
1. Current skin condition and degree of elasticity
2. Skin condition and care goals
3. Selected MCT program
4. Individual health condition and lifestyle habits
5. Previous skin care and treatment history
Rather than setting a predetermined number of sessions from the outset,
it is advisable to assess the current condition and establish an appropriate care plan with the medical team.
Recovery and Precautions After MCT Metacell Treatment
Because MCT Metacell may include the collection of blood or adipose tissue depending on the selected program, the recovery process also varies by program.
The treatment is described as being performed within a relatively short time,
and blood-derived treatments may allow a return to daily activities without a prolonged recovery period.
However, the following reactions may occur immediately after treatment depending on the individual.
Temporary redness
Skin sensitivity
Swelling
Bruising or tenderness
Most of these reactions may be temporary, but the medical team should be consulted if symptoms worsen or persist.
When adipose tissue collection is included, separate recovery instructions and precautions for the collection site may be required.
Before treatment, fully inform the medical team about current medications, allergies, previous procedures,
and underlying conditions, and follow the provided aftercare instructions.
