MCT

MCT (Meta Cell Technology) is an advanced regenerative treatment designed to improve skin quality using components obtained from the patient’s own blood. The treatment enhances platelet-rich plasma to support cellular renewal, collagen production, and the skin’s natural repair processes.

Combining the principles of an MCT PRP treatment with advanced exosome technology, this personalised approach can help improve skin firmness, texture, hydration, and radiance. An MCT exosome treatment may be suitable for patients looking for natural-looking skin rejuvenation without surgery or the introduction of donor-derived exosomes.

About

MCT Treatment

Meta Cell Technology is an advanced system that enhances the regenerative properties of platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient’s own blood.
During an MCT plasma treatment, a small blood sample is taken and processed to separate the plasma and platelets before they are treated using carefully controlled light and thermal energy. This process helps to activate the platelets and enhance the release of growth factors and autologous exosomes. By enhancing these components before they are reintroduced into the treatment area, an MCT PRP treatment can provide a more advanced regenerative approach than conventional PRP alone.

The prepared plasma is then carefully administered to targeted areas of the skin using injections or as part of a personalised treatment protocol. MCT exosome treatment does not rely on synthetic fillers or externally sourced exosomes.

MCT skin regeneration treatment can help to support collagen and elastin production while improving hydration, texture, tone, and overall skin vitality. It may be recommended for concerns including early signs of ageing, fine lines, dullness, uneven texture, reduced firmness, dehydration, and skin that appears tired or lacking in radiance.

MCT skin rejuvenation can be used to treat areas such as the face, neck and décolletage, depending on your concerns and clinical assessment. The treatment may also be incorporated into a wider regenerative skin care plan or combined with other suitable procedures to support longer-term improvements in skin quality.

As a form of plasma skin rejuvenation, MCT treatment in Finchley focuses on encouraging natural cellular repair rather than creating an artificial change in facial shape or volume. Improvements generally develop gradually as collagen production and tissue renewal increase. Patients may notice that their skin appears smoother, firmer, brighter, and better hydrated following a recommended course of treatment.

The number of sessions required will depend on the patient’s skin condition, age, treatment area, and desired outcome. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising may occur around the injection sites, although these effects are usually temporary. For patients seeking MCT treatment in North London, Ambra Clinic provides an individual treatment plan designed to support natural-looking and progressive skin regeneration.

FAQ

Am I suitable for MCT treatment?

MCT treatment may be suitable for adults who want to improve skin firmness, texture, hydration, or general skin quality using a regenerative treatment derived from their own blood. It may be particularly beneficial for patients experiencing early signs of ageing, fine lines, dullness, uneven texture, reduced elasticity, or dehydrated skin.

How is MCT different from traditional PRP?

Traditional PRP involves separating platelet-rich plasma from a sample of the patient’s blood before administering it to the treatment area. With an MCT plasma treatment, the prepared plasma undergoes an additional photothermal biomodulation process using controlled light and temperature.

Is MCT treatment safe?

MCT uses autologous material, meaning that the plasma and exosomes used during treatment come from the patient’s own blood. This reduces the risk of an immune response associated with introducing donor-derived biological material.
As with any injectable procedure, there are still potential risks and side effects. Your practitioner will review your medical history, current medication, and suitability before recommending treatment.

Is MCT treatment painful?

Patients may experience brief pinching, pressure, or mild discomfort. A topical anaesthetic may be used where appropriate to make the procedure more comfortable.

Are there any side effects or risks?

Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising can occur around the injection sites following treatment. These effects will usually settle over the following days, although recovery varies between patients and treatment areas.

Is there any associated downtime?

Downtime following MCT is generally limited, although this will depend on the way the plasma is administered and the areas treated. Some patients return to their usual activities shortly afterwards, while others prefer to allow time for redness, swelling or bruising to settle.
