Treatment Overview
MTS (Microneedle Therapy System) with Growth Factors in Korea is a minimally invasive skin regeneration treatment that uses a microneedling device to create controlled micro-channels in the skin while infusing growth factors, peptides, and skin-repair serums. This process stimulates natural collagen production and enhances absorption of active ingredients that repair acne damage.
For back acne (“bacne”), MTS with growth factors is especially effective in treating acne scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. Korean dermatology clinics frequently combine this treatment with LDM Water Drop therapy, LED phototherapy, or acne peels to maximize results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Scar Repair: Stimulates collagen to improve pitted and atrophic scars.
- Pigmentation Fading: Reduces post-acne marks and discoloration.
- Skin Regeneration: Growth factors accelerate healing and repair.
- Texture Refinement: Smooths rough, uneven back skin.
- Non-Surgical: Minimally invasive with short recovery.
Ideal Candidates
MTS with Growth Factors in Korea is recommended for:
- Individuals with back acne scars (shallow to moderate).
- Patients with pigmentation or dark marks from acne.
- Those with rough, uneven back skin texture.
- Patients seeking non-laser, regenerative treatment options.
- People combining acne scar repair with hydration or light-based therapies.
Possible Risks & Complications
- Redness & Sensitivity: Common for 1–3 days post-treatment.
- Mild Swelling: Temporary, subsides within 24–48 hours.
- Pinpoint Bleeding: Normal during microneedling process.
- Rare Risks: Infection or prolonged irritation if aftercare neglected.
- Not Suitable For: Patients with active cystic acne or skin infections.
Surgical Techniques Used
MTS is non-surgical but requires precision for optimal results:
- Microneedling Device: Uses sterile microneedles to create controlled skin punctures.
- Growth Factor Infusion: Delivers peptides, EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), or regenerative serums directly into skin.
- Collagen Induction Therapy: Encourages long-term skin remodeling.
- Korean Combination Therapy: Often paired with LDM ultrasound, PRP, or LED for scar and acne healing.
- Sessions Required: Typically 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Redness, mild sensitivity, and pinpoint marks.
- 1–3 Days: Back skin begins to heal; redness decreases.
- 1–2 Months: Visible scar reduction and smoother texture.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid sun exposure; apply SPF 50+ if back is exposed.
- Do not scratch or pick at treated skin.
- Use soothing creams recommended by dermatologist.
- Avoid saunas, hot showers, or heavy exercise for 48 hours.
- Keep the back clean with gentle cleansers to avoid irritation.
Results & Longevity
- After 1 Session: Brighter, smoother skin texture.
- After 3 Sessions: Noticeable scar fading and pigmentation reduction.
- After 6 Sessions: Significant long-term improvement in scars, tone, and texture.
- Longevity: Results last years; maintenance recommended annually for scar management.
