MCT MetaCell Therapy Exosomes – Innovative regene­rative medicine

Modern aesthetic and regene­rative medicine is incre­a­singly relying on the body's own repair mecha­nisms. With MCT exosomes, we at Aesthetics Medical Zurich offer a highly innovative, scien­ti­fi­cally based treatment that is based on your body's natural regene­ration processes.

MCT exosomes are autologous, injec­table exosomes that are obtained directly from your own blood or cell material and enable intensive cell commu­ni­cation and sustainable tissue regene­ration. They are safe, effective and medically certified.

The treatment is suitable for the face, neck, décolleté and scalp, as well as for specific indica­tions such as scar treatment or hair loss.

Advan­tages of MCT exosome treatment:

  • 100% autologous – no foreign substances

  • No risk of an immune reaction

  • Deep and long-lasting regeneration

  • Natural results without overcor­rection of volume

  • Minimal to no downtime

  • Scien­ti­fi­cally proven and evidence-based

  • Medically certified system

  • Can be combined with laser and other treatments

What is MCT exosome treatment?

MCT Exosomes (MetaCell Therapy) is a medical procedure in which the body's own exosomes are activated using the patented MCT system and prepared for injection.

Exosomes are micro­scopic extra­cel­lular vesicles (30–150 nm) that act as central messengers in cell commu­ni­cation. They transport growth factors, microRNAs, proteins and lipids and play a crucial role in regene­ration, inflammation regulation and tissue renewal.

The MCT system uses patented photo­thermal biomo­du­lation to speci­fi­cally stimulate the release of these exosomes already present in the body. The PRP (platelet-rich plasma) extracted from your blood is treated with specific light and controlled tempe­rature, maximising exosome release and incre­asing cell activity.

The result is intensive, natural cell regene­ration – without any chemical additives, synthetic active ingre­dients or foreign materials.

Why choose MCT exosomes?

Dr Ranieri Mazzei is an FMH specialist in plastic, recons­tructive and aesthetic surgery with over 25 years of experience. As a specialist in regene­rative therapies and skin rejuve­nation, he uses MCT exosome technology in a targeted and indivi­dua­lised manner.

At Aesthetics Medical, we combine medical precision with innovative science. We work exclu­sively with the certified MCT system and according to the highest safety and quality standards.

Our goal is to achieve natural, lasting results. Dr Mazzei creates an individual treatment plan for each patient, tailored to their personal skin needs and goals.

MCT exosomes can be used for, among other things:

  • Skin ageing and loss of elasticity
  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Acne scars and other scars
  • Hyper- and hypopigmentation
  • Rosacea and inflammatory skin conditions
  • Wound healing disorders
  • Hair loss (e.g. andro­ge­netic alopecia, alopecia areata)

What is the treatment procedure?

Initial consul­tation: During a detailed consul­tation, Dr Mazzei will analyse your skin, discuss your wishes and explain what results can reali­sti­cally be expected.

Step 1 – Blood collection: A small amount of blood is taken (similar to a normal blood test). PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is extracted from this blood.

Step 2 – Photo­thermal activation: The PRP is placed in the MCT Kit and stimu­lated in the MCT Unit® with specific light and controlled tempe­rature. This maximises the release of exosomes, increases cell activity and inten­sifies the regene­rative effect.

Step 3 – Injection: The activated MCT exosomes are then injected precisely into the desired region to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Aftercare: After the treatment, slight redness or swelling may occur, but this will subside quickly. Avoid intense sun exposure, saunas and sports for 48 hours. Make-up can usually be applied after 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

MCT exosomes are suitable for patients who want natural skin rejuve­nation and regene­ration. Ideal indica­tions are: skin ageing and loss of elasticity, wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars and other scars, pigmen­tation disorders (hyper-/hypo­pig­men­tation), rosacea and inflammatory skin condi­tions, wound healing disorders and hair loss. The treatment is parti­cu­larly suitable for people who want to rely on the body's own regene­ration and avoid synthetic active ingredients.

The treatment is well tolerated and most patients find it to be virtually painless. The injec­tions are admini­stered using fine needles. An anaes­thetic cream can be applied beforehand on request. The blood sample is taken in a similar way to a normal blood test.

As only the body's own material is used, side effects are rare and usually mild. Possible side effects include slight redness, swelling at the injection sites and temporary sensi­tivity to pressure. These reactions usually subside within a few days. Allergic reactions or rejection reactions are virtually impos­sible with autologous treatments.

MCT Exosome Treatment offers long-term results through natural cell regene­ration. Initial impro­ve­ments become visible after 2–4 weeks, when the stimu­lated regene­ration processes begin. The optimal effect unfolds over 2–3 months through conti­nuous collagen and elastin build-up.

The results typically last for 6–12 months and can last even longer with regular refresher treat­ments. The duration depends on skin type, age, lifestyle and the indication treated. For lasting results, we recommend refresher treat­ments after 3–6 months.

We recommend a course of 3 sessions at intervals of appro­xi­m­ately 3 weeks for optimal results. For hair loss, 4 sessions are recom­mended (package of 4). After the initial series of treat­ments, refresher treat­ments follow after 3–6 months, depending on the individual treatment goal.

MCT Exosomes is a minimally invasive treatment with minimal to no downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness or swelling usually subsides within 24–48 hours. Make-up can be applied after 24 hours.

Both treat­ments use the body's own exosomes from your blood, but differ in terms of technology and duration of effect:

MCT Exosomes is the classic method: the activated exosomes are injected directly into the tissue, where they immediately exert their regene­rative effect. Ideal for skin rejuve­nation, hair loss and general regene­ration. Three sessions at three-week intervals are recommended.

MCT Exo-Tech goes one step further: here, the exosomes are embedded in a biocom­pa­tible protein scaffold matrix. This matrix keeps the exosomes locally in the tissue, protects them from premature degra­dation and enables controlled, prolonged release. The result is prolonged bioac­tivity and more sustainable regene­ration with struc­tural support. Usually 1–2 sessions are sufficient.

In short: MCT exosomes act quickly and directly, while MCT Exo-Tech acts longer and provides structure. Dr Mazzei will advise you on which method is best suited to your individual goals.

Both treat­ments use the body's own material, but differ signi­fi­cantly: Classic PRP mainly contains growth factors from blood platelets. MCT Exosomes goes one step further: Patented photo­thermal biomo­du­lation speci­fi­cally stimu­lates the release of exosomes. These micro­scopic vesicles transport not only growth factors, but also microRNAs and proteins, which enable more intensive and sustainable cell regeneration.

Yes, MCT exosomes can be combined excel­lently with other aesthetic proce­dures. Common combi­na­tions include micro­needling, laser treat­ments (e.g. fractional laser), mesotherapy or chemical peels. The combi­nation can achieve syner­gistic effects and enhance regene­ration. Dr Mazzei will advise you on the optimal treatment strategy.

Yes, MCT exosomes can be used for various forms of hair loss, including andro­ge­netic alopecia (hereditary hair loss), alopecia areata (circular hair loss) and diffuse hair loss. The body's own exosomes stimulate the hair follicles, promote blood circulation in the scalp and can activate hair growth. For optimal results, we recommend the 4-pack.

After treatment, you should avoid intense sun exposure for 48 hours and use consi­stent sun protection (SPF 50). Do not visit the sauna or solarium for 2–3 days. Refrain from using strong irritants, exfoliants or aggressive skin care products for a few days. Make-up can usually be applied after 24 hours.
