Treatment Overview
Anti-Aging MTS (Microneedle Therapy System) Therapy is a collagen-inducing skin rejuvenation treatment that uses ultra-fine microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These microchannels trigger the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production while enhancing the absorption of active serums such as peptides, hyaluronic acid, and growth factors. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
In Korea, Anti-Aging MTS is widely performed by dermatologists who specialize in precision microneedling techniques and advanced serum formulations. It is a popular choice for patients seeking non-surgical rejuvenation, acne scar improvement, and anti-aging benefits with minimal downtime.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen Stimulation: Encourages natural skin tightening and elasticity.
- Fine Line & Wrinkle Reduction: Softens early signs of aging.
- Pore Refinement: Minimizes enlarged pores for smoother texture.
- Scar & Pigmentation Improvement: Helps fade acne scars and uneven tone.
- Enhanced Serum Absorption: Allows nutrients to penetrate deeply for maximum effect.
