Meta-Cell

What Is Metacell (MCT)?

Metacell is a stem-cell skin booster that many people have been curious about. It purifies cells derived from your own body and re-injects them into the skin, drawing out the skin's regenerative ability.

Stem cells carry the power to recover damaged tissue and regenerate new cells. When injected into the skin, they promote the production of collagen and elastin and raise the skin's moisture-retention capacity.

Metacell uses Photo-Thermal BioModulation (PBM) technology — harnessing five kinds of light and temperature — to deliver autologous exosomes at even higher quality.

Outcomes vary by individual.

Why Stem Cells, Why Now?

More and more patients feel fatigued by repeated treatments with only marginal effect. Now the need is for a regeneration-centered approach that restores the skin's own rhythm — not a short-term result. Tune Clinic's Metacell can be that science-based answer.

Point 01

Patient fatigue: repeated treatments, frequent retouches, and temporary effects.

Point 02

Stem-cell + autologous-exosome treatment secures all three: durability, stability, and efficiency.

Point 03

Rising demand for treatment outcomes that stand apart from PRP, Rejuran, and ordinary exosomes.

  • Light and temperature stimulus raises intracellular activity
  • Plasma-density control → minimizes pain, swelling, and inflammation

Customized Layered Treatment Protocol

  • Treatment depth tiered to skin type, thickness, and age
  • Multi-layered approach down through epidermis, dermis, and muscle layer

Autologous-Cell Exosome-Based Solution

A high-purity exosome solution composed to match the patient's condition; regeneration designed around high growth factors (EGF, PDGF, VEGF, etc.).

03

PBM Technology + Micro-Injection

PBM (photo-thermal biomodulation) applied; plasma-density control induces cellular stimulation while suppressing inflammation.

04

Suitable depth and dose set for dermis, epidermis, and muscle layer; multi-treatment that considers each area's recovery capacity and response.

05

Recovery Check & 2nd Session If Needed

Response observed within 72 hours → retention assessed; an additional session proposed about 2–4 weeks later if needed.

ATP Synthesis 3x Increase (vs PRP)

A premium, cosmetic anti-aging effect.

Reduced Side Effects & Short Recovery

Side effects are markedly lower, and the short post-treatment recovery period allows a fast return to daily life.

Diverse Indications

Metacell's 5 Growth Factors

VEGF

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Generates new blood vessels and increases the supply of nutrients and oxygen within the skin. Skin brightens and recovery speeds up.

EGF

Epidermal Growth Factor

Promotes proliferation of epidermal skin cells to aid wound healing and skin regeneration. Fine wrinkles improve and skin texture becomes smooth.

PDGF

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor

Induces recovery of damaged tissue. Promotes collagen synthesis to restore elasticity and recover scars.

FGF-2

Fibroblast Growth Factor

Activates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. A core factor that makes aging skin "firm."

TGF

Transforming Growth Factor

Promotes proliferation of dermal-layer cells. Recovers skin thickness, improves fine wrinkles, and strengthens skin regeneration.

Tune's Stem-Cell Research

The Clock Doesn't Stop — But Skin Can

1.

Clinical-based research conducted on stem cells and exosomes.

2.

Years of clinical experience and patient-case analysis → a design centered on durability and stability, not just effect.

3.

Based on the principle that skin responds more deeply to the cell information that remembers itself than to unfamiliar substances.

4.

An independent regeneration protocol developed to complement the limits of existing treatments (Rejuran, PRP, etc.).

"You've had so many treatments — but have you ever thought about what truly brings the skin back to life?"

Sagging, slackening, and dullness with age come not from time, but from cells.

Most anti-aging focuses on "pulling" and "filling." Tune Clinic's stem-cell anti-aging focuses on bringing skin back to life.

Tune Clinic's stem-cell research is not a simple lifting stem-cell treatment, but one that wakes the cells to recover the skin's innate strength.

The Difference

Exosome vs. Metacell

Exosome

(cell-secretion-derived regenerative factors)

  • Contains nano-vesicles, growth factors, proteins, RNA, etc. separated from stem cells
  • Centered on skin regeneration, soothing, anti-inflammation
  • Temporary vitality improvement; effect accumulates on repetition
  • Autologous material, so almost no rejection
  • Fundamental regeneration effect, maintained long-term

Metacell

(autologous stem-cell skin booster)

  • Stem cells extracted from your own fat
  • Higher concentration of cellular components vs. exosomes
  • Rich in growth factors secreted directly from the cell body
  • Skin-texture & tone improvement, wrinkle softening
  • Autologous material, so almost no rejection
  • Fundamental regeneration effect, maintained long-term

Physician's FAQ

What exactly is Metacell (MCT)?

Metacell is an autologous stem-cell skin booster. It purifies cells derived from your own body and re-injects them into the skin to elevate the skin's regenerative ability. Stem cells carry the ability to recover damaged tissue and regenerate new cells, and on injection they promote collagen and elastin production and raise the skin's moisture retention. Individual results vary.

How is Metacell different from an exosome skin booster?

Exosomes are cell-secreted regenerative factors containing nano-vesicles, growth factors, proteins, and RNA, focused on skin regeneration, soothing, and anti-inflammation, with effects that accumulate on repetition. Metacell uses stem cells extracted from your own fat, providing a higher concentration of cellular components than exosomes alone and a rich supply of growth factors secreted directly from the cell body — supporting fundamental regeneration with longer-lasting results and almost no rejection because it is your own material.

Why does Metacell use PBM photo-thermal technology?

Metacell applies Photo-Thermal BioModulation (PBM), using light and temperature to raise cellular activity and provide higher-quality autologous exosomes. Controlling plasma density helps induce cellular stimulation while minimizing pain, swelling, and inflammation. Outcomes vary by individual.

When will I see results and how long do they last?

Reaction is typically observed within 72 hours to assess retention, and a follow-up or additional session may be proposed about 2–4 weeks later if needed. Because Metacell focuses on fundamental regeneration rather than a temporary lift, the rich growth factors and bioactive substances of autologous exosomes support a more lasting effect. Individual results vary.

Who is Metacell recommended for?

It suits those concerned about fine wrinkles and loss of firmness, a dull and lifeless skin tone, acne scars or damaged-skin recovery, skin boosters whose effect faded quickly, wanting to look naturally younger, or low satisfaction after multiple treatments such as lasers and fillers. The physician confirms suitability at an in-person consultation.
