What MTS means in a skin-treatment plan
MTS is commonly used as a shorthand for a microneedling treatment category. Newline's supplied August 2026 international-patient price list includes MTS at ₩100,000. The source does not specify the needle cartridge, treatment depth, number of passes or included booster, so this page keeps those details open for confirmation rather than inventing a fixed protocol.
Microneedling creates a controlled treatment pathway for selected texture and skin-quality concerns, but the actual plan should depend on whether the main problem is enlarged pores, shallow acne-scar texture, roughness, pigment after acne or general skin quality.
MTS for pores, texture and acne-scar concerns
Large pores can appear more visible because of oil production, congestion, acne scarring, surface texture or reduced skin support. Acne scars also vary: shallow rolling texture, box-like depressions and deeper narrow scars are not the same problem. MTS may fit some texture concerns, but it should not be described as a universal solution for every scar type.
For active acne, the first question is whether inflammation is still ongoing. Treating texture while frequent inflammatory breakouts continue may not address the main problem. Newline's acne-treatment and acne-scar pages should be used to separate active disease, residual marks and structural scarring.
MTS versus Potenza
Potenza is an RF microneedling platform, so it adds radiofrequency energy to the needle-based treatment concept. Newline lists Potenza N Tip at ₩200,000 and additional Potenza combinations with Skin Botox, Juvelook or Rejuran at higher prices. MTS at ₩100,000 is therefore a distinct lower-priced microneedling category rather than a synonym for Potenza.
A patient choosing between the two should ask what the clinician is trying to change: superficial texture, pore appearance, scar depth, skin quality or booster delivery. The additional energy and different tip structure may matter depending on the goal.
MTS versus Fraxel resurfacing
Fraxel belongs to a laser-resurfacing pathway. It may be considered when texture, acne scars and resurfacing are the primary concerns. MTS and Fraxel can both appear in searches for pores and scars, but they use different treatment mechanisms and have different recovery profiles.
Patients with limited travel time should ask which treatment is more likely to cause visible redness, flaking, swelling or sensitivity in their specific plan. The source material does not support a universal downtime promise for either procedure.
How to prepare for an MTS appointment
Tell the clinic about recent lasers, peels, microneedling, active acne, irritation and any important event dates. Ask what is included in the ₩100,000 MTS price, whether a tip or cartridge is included, whether any booster is added, and whether VAT is charged on top.
After treatment, follow the clinic's instructions on cleansing, sun exposure and active skincare. Strong exfoliating products or other irritating treatments may need to be paused, but the exact timing should come from the treating clinic rather than from a generic website rule.
