Dermatology ClinicMCT Metacell in Busan, Korea A regenerative skin treatment made from your own blood, for tired, thinning or ageing skin
MCT Metacell starts with a small sample of your own blood, which is processed into a concentrate and injected back into the skin. At JRYN Seomyeon, a doctor explains whether it suits your skin, and the cost, before you decide .
What is MCT Metacell?
MCT Metacell is an autologous (self-derived) regenerative treatment. A small amount of your blood is drawn, the platelet-rich plasma is separated, and it is processed with a Metacell unit into a concentrate that is injected into the face or other treatment areas. The aim is to support skin quality, such as texture, firmness and a healthier-looking complexion, over time.
At JRYN Seomyeon, MCT Metacell is planned by the doctor after a consultation. There is no fixed listed price, so your doctor confirms the treatment area and the total before treatment. Evidence for this kind of treatment is still developing, and results vary from person to person.

MCT Metacell FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
What is MCT Metacell treatment?
MCT Metacell is a regenerative skin treatment made from your own blood. The platelet-rich plasma is separated and processed with a Metacell unit into a concentrate, which is then injected into the skin to support overall skin quality.
How much does MCT Metacell cost at JRYN?
There is no fixed listed price for MCT Metacell at JRYN Seomyeon. Your doctor confirms the treatment area and total cost at consultation, and you can ask for an estimate on WhatsApp before you visit.
How is MCT Metacell different from PRP?
Both start with your own blood. Standard PRP uses platelet-rich plasma as it is, while MCT Metacell adds a further processing step with a Metacell unit before injection. Your doctor can explain which is more suitable for your skin.
Is MCT Metacell safe?
Because it uses your own blood, allergic reactions are unlikely, but any injection carries some risk of bruising, swelling and, rarely, infection. Contact the clinic if redness, pain or heat gets worse instead of better after treatment.
What results can I expect?
The aim is gradual improvement in texture, firmness and how fresh the skin looks. It is not a lift or a filler, the evidence is still developing, and results vary between people.
Is there downtime?
Usually only a few days. Small bumps, redness, mild swelling or bruising at the injection points are common and settle on their own.
Who should not have MCT Metacell?
People with blood disorders, low platelets, active skin infections, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding, are usually not suitable. Tell your doctor about any medication, especially blood thinners.
Can I have MCT Metacell on a short trip to Busan?
Often, yes, as it is done in one visit with short downtime. Allow extra time on the day for the blood draw and processing, and tell your doctor your flight date.
