MTS – The new trend in Korean home skincare
🪡 MTS – The new trend in Korean home skincare
1.What is MTS?
MTS (Microneedle Therapy System) is a skincare technique that uses microscopic needles to stimulate the skin's natural repair and improve the absorption of active ingredients in skincare products.
The method originates from Mesotherapy developed in France in the 1950s, and was further developed in 1995 by an American plastic surgeon for the treatment of wrinkles and scars.
Today, the technique is used in both medical treatments and beauty care – including Korean home skincare .
💡 Did you know this?
In Korea, the authorities strictly regulate needle length:
Over 0.25 mm → considered a medical device and can only be used in clinics by healthcare personnel
0.25 mm or shorter → safe for home use, does not reach the skin and causes minimal discomfort
2. Advantages of MTS home treatment
✅ Virtually painless – No need for anesthetic cream
✅ High safety - Needle length under 0.25 mm does not reach the dermis, reducing the risk of side effects
✅ Up to 3× better absorption – Microscopic holes allow active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin
✅ All-round skin improvement – Reduces pores, fine lines, uneven skin tone, scars and loss of elasticity
✅ Cost-effective – Same principle as in the clinic, but much more affordable at home
