What is Meta Cell Technology?
Meta Cell Technology (MCT) is an advanced regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to produce an autologous preparation rich in platelet-derived exosomes and growth factors.
Unlike treatments that use externally sourced exosome products, MCT works with your own PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). After your blood is collected and processed, the MCT system uses controlled light and heat through photothermal biomodulation to activate the platelet-rich preparation and stimulate the release of naturally occurring exosomes, extracellular vesicles and growth factors from your own platelets.
This creates a personalised, 100% autologous regenerative treatment derived from your own blood.
At HEMAC Aesthetic & Skin in Hawthorn East, Melbourne, MCT may be used as part of personalised treatment programs for skin rejuvenation, collagen support, skin quality, ageing concerns, acne scarring and hair and scalp health.
What Are Autologous Exosomes?
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles released by cells that play an important role in cell-to-cell communication.
With Meta Cell Technology, the exosomes used in your treatment are autologous platelet-derived exosomes — meaning they originate from your own PRP and platelets.
The MCT process is designed to stimulate the release of these naturally occurring platelet-derived exosomes alongside growth factors and other biological signalling molecules.
This makes MCT different from treatments involving externally sourced exosome preparations.
How Does MCT Create Exosomes From Your Own PRP?
Treatment begins with a small blood collection.
Your blood is processed to prepare the platelet-rich component. The prepared PRP then undergoes the Meta Cell Technology photothermal biomodulation process, which uses precisely controlled light and thermal energy to stimulate platelet activity.
This process promotes the release of platelet-derived exosomes, extracellular vesicles and naturally occurring growth factors from your own PRP.
The resulting autologous preparation can then be used as part of your personalised skin, regenerative or hair treatment plan.
Benefits of MCT Autologous Exosome Treatment
Meta Cell Technology may be considered for patients wanting to support:
- Skin rejuvenation
- Collagen production
- Skin firmness and elasticity
- Fine lines and signs of ageing
- Skin texture and quality
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Acne scarring
- Overall skin regeneration
- Hair thinning
- Hair and scalp health
- PRP hair restoration
- Regenerative skin treatments
Because MCT uses your own PRP to release your own platelet-derived exosomes, treatment is personalised to each patient.
MCT vs Traditional PRP
Both traditional PRP and Meta Cell Technology begin with your own blood.
The difference is what happens after the PRP is prepared.
With conventional PRP, the platelet-rich preparation is generally used following processing.
With Meta Cell Technology, the prepared PRP undergoes an additional photothermal biomodulation process designed to activate the platelets and promote the release of platelet-derived exosomes, extracellular vesicles and growth factors.
MCT therefore provides an advanced approach to autologous PRP and exosome-based regenerative treatment.
MCT for Skin Rejuvenation
MCT may be incorporated into personalised treatment plans for patients wanting to improve overall skin quality, texture, firmness and signs of ageing.
Your own platelet-derived exosomes and growth factors act as biological signalling components involved in cellular communication and regenerative processes.
Depending on your individual skin concerns, MCT may also be combined with other skin treatments where clinically appropriate.
MCT for Hair & Scalp Health
Meta Cell Technology can also be incorporated into PRP hair restoration and hair loss treatment plans in Melbourne.
The MCT process activates the patient’s own platelet-rich preparation and promotes the release of platelet-derived exosomes and growth factors before it is used as part of the treatment.
Patients experiencing hair thinning, reduced density or changes in scalp health should undergo an assessment to determine the cause of their concerns and whether MCT PRP treatment may be appropriate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the exosomes in MCT from my own body?
Yes. MCT works with your own platelet-rich preparation. The process is designed to promote the release of platelet-derived extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, from your own platelets.
Is MCT the same as an exosome product?
No. MCT does not rely on an externally sourced exosome product. The treatment starts with your own blood and PRP and uses the MCT process to stimulate the release of biological signalling components from your own platelets.
Is MCT different from PRP?
MCT builds on PRP treatment by adding a controlled photothermal biomodulation process designed to stimulate platelet activity and increase the release of platelet-derived extracellular vesicles and growth factors.
What can MCT be used for?
MCT may be considered as part of personalised treatment plans for skin rejuvenation, skin quality, signs of ageing, acne scarring, hair thinning and scalp health. Suitability and expected outcomes vary between patients.
