Treatment Overview
MTS (Microneedle Therapy System) Microneedling is a skin regeneration procedure that uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process activates the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which are essential for strengthening thin or thinning skin.
In Korea, microneedling is often enhanced with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), Exosomes, Rejuran, or Skin Boosters, making it one of the most effective treatments for fragile skin, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity caused by aging or sun damage.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen Remodeling: Thickens fragile skin and restores dermal structure.
- Elasticity & Firmness: Strengthens thinning skin for improved resilience.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens fine lines and prevents deepening of creases.
- Texture Refinement: Smooths roughness often linked to skin thinning.
- Better Absorption: Micro-channels allow deeper penetration of serums and boosters.
- Versatile Combination: Works well with PRP, Exosomes, Rejuran, or Vitamin C infusion.
Ideal Candidates
MTS Microneedling Therapy in Korea for thin skin and skin thinning is recommended for:
- Adults with thinning skin due to aging or chronic sun exposure.
- Patients with fragile, dull, or wrinkled skin.
- Those looking for a non-filler, regenerative treatment that stimulates natural repair.
Comparison with other treatments:
- MTS Microneedling: Best for collagen stimulation and texture improvement.
- Rejuran Healer: Best for DNA repair and barrier strengthening.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for deep cellular repair.
- Fractional CO₂ Laser: Best for intensive collagen remodeling in severe thinning.
- Dermashine Water Glow: Best for hydration and nutrient replenishment.
Possible Risks & Complications
Microneedling is safe when performed in Korean clinics, but mild side effects may include:
- Redness & Sensitivity: Common, lasts 24–48 hours.
- Mild Swelling: Temporary, resolves quickly.
- Pinpoint Bleeding or Flaking: Normal during healing.
- Rare Risks: Post-inflammatory pigmentation or infection (very rare with sterile technique).
Surgical Techniques Used
- Microneedle Device: Pen or roller with sterile fine needles.
- Depth Adjustment: 0.25–2.5 mm depending on skin thickness and target area.
- Serum Infusion: PRP, Exosomes, Rejuran, or Vitamin C applied to penetrate deeper.
- Combination Therapy: Frequently combined with laser or light therapy for synergy.
- Protocol: 3–5 sessions every 4–6 weeks; maintenance every 6–12 months.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Redness and sensitivity similar to mild sunburn.
- 1–3 Days: Redness subsides; skin feels firmer and more hydrated.
- 2–4 Weeks: Visible improvement in thickness and texture.
Aftercare Tips:
- Apply soothing, hydrating serums (HA, ceramides).
- Use SPF 50+ daily to protect healing skin.
- Avoid harsh skincare (retinol, acids) for 5–7 days.
- Skip saunas, swimming, or intense workouts for 2–3 days.
Results & Longevity
- Short-Term (2–4 Weeks): Smoother and firmer texture.
- Medium-Term (2–3 Months): Noticeable increase in dermal thickness and resilience.
- Long-Term: Results last 6–12 months; booster sessions maintain collagen.
