Mokdong Juvelook Combined with MTS? Let’s Take a Look at the Study

Mokdong Juvelook Combined with MTS?

Let’s Take a Look at the Study

�

Hello.

I am Kim Jin-hyeon, Chief Director of UNNI Clinic Mokdong Branch.

�

"I’m planning to get Juvelook,

but if I do it together with MTS,

is the effect better?"

�

As pores become larger and skin texture

turns rougher, you may start to feel the

limits of covering it with makeup alone.

�

That is why many people become

interested in skin boosters.

�

As you search, you will often come across

claims such as, "It is better to use it with

MTS than to receive Juvelook alone."

�

But is that really true?

Today, let’s look at a paper published in

an international journal in 2025 and

organize the evidence for the combined

use of Juvelook and MTS.

�

If you read for just about 3 minutes, it will

help you understand why this combination

is drawing attention and for whom it may be

suitable.

1. Juvelook and MTS: what role does each

procedure play?

Mokdong Juvelook

First, let’s briefly go over Juvelook.

�

The main ingredient of Juvelook is PDLLA,

or poly-D,L-lactic acid.

�

When this ingredient is injected into the dermis,

it gradually breaks down and gives the surrounding

tissue a kind of controlled stimulation.

�

In response to that stimulation, our body

produces new collagen.

�

A substance that works in this way is called a

"biostimulator."

�

Simply put, instead of filling something from

the outside, it works by inducing the skin to

produce collagen on its own.

�

So what is MTS?

MTS stands for Microneedle

Therapy System,

�

and it is a procedure that uses a device with

fine needles to create very small openings,

called microchannels, on the surface of the skin.

�

When this micro-injury occurs, the skin triggers

a healing response and stimulates collagen

production.

�

In addition, the microchannels opened by MTS

also serve as a pathway for active ingredients

to be absorbed deep into the skin.

�

So what happens if Juvelook, which stimulates

collagen production, and MTS, which opens

a pathway for absorption while also

stimulating collagen production,

�

are used together? The answer to that has

actually been published in a paper.

�

2. What were the findings of the study

published in an international journal?

Mokdong Juvelook

The Efficacy of Combined Microneedling andTopical Poly-D,L-Lactic Acid (Juvelook) Application for Facial

Pore Reduction and Skin Texture Improvement

In June 2025, a paper was published in the

international journal PRS Global Open.

�

This study was conducted on 15 patients aged

30 to 55 who had enlarged pores.

�

The procedure involved first creating micro-injuries

in the skin with MTS at a depth of 0.5 mm, then

applying 1 mL of Juvelook PDLLA solution to

allow absorption,

�

and this process was repeated a total of 3 times

at 3-week intervals.

The results were quite meaningful.

Fig. 1. Results of combined microneedling (MTS) and

Juvelook (PDLLA) treatment in a 34-year-old female patient.

�

Before treatment: visibly enlarged pores and rough

skin texture with a pore grade of 6.

�

After treatment: 22 weeks after the final procedure,

the pore grade had significantly decreased to 3,

confirming pore size reduction and skin texture

improvement.

�

The average pore score before the procedure was 6,

the largest stage, and after 12 weeks it had decreased

to 3, about half.

�

A statistically significant difference was also

confirmed, and this effect was maintained up to

22 weeks.

�

Patient satisfaction was also high, with 12 out of

15 patients responding "very satisfied."

Fig. 2. Results of combined microneedling (MTS) and

Juvelook (PDLLA) treatment in a 40-year-old female patient

�

Before treatment: visibly enlarged pores with a pore

grade of 5.

�

After treatment: 22 weeks after the final procedure,

the pore grade had decreased to 2, showing pore size

reduction and skin texture improvement.

�

As for side effects, mild redness and temporary

swelling appeared immediately after the procedure,

�

but all of them disappeared within 24 to 48 hours,

and no serious adverse reactions such as nodules or

long-term irritation were reported.

�

In the conclusion, the researchers evaluated the

combined use of MTS and Juvelook as a minimally

invasive method that is effective for pore reduction

and skin texture improvement.

�

For reference, one of the institutions affiliated

with this study is listed as UNNI Clinic.

�

3. Then who might benefit from it?

Mokdong Juvelook

Based on these findings, the combined MTS and

Juvelook procedure may be a particularly meaningful

option for people who are concerned about enlarged

pores and worsened skin texture at the same time.

�

Another point worth noting is that the study participants

had Fitzpatrick skin types III to IV.

�

This corresponds to Asian skin types, including Korean skin.

�

For those worried about post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

after laser procedures, this non-laser approach may help

reduce the burden.

�

In addition, the short downtime can be an advantage for

those who want to minimize disruption to daily life.

�

That said, there is also something we should be honest

about.

�

Because this study was a small case series involving

15 patients,

�

it does not guarantee the same results for all skin types

and conditions.

�

The researchers themselves stated that follow-up studies

using larger randomized controlled trials and objective

evaluation tools such as 3D imaging are needed.

�

Therefore, if you are considering the procedure,

it is important to first receive a thorough diagnosis and

consultation about your own skin condition.

�

So far, we have looked at the combined Juvelook and

MTS procedure in Mokdong, from the role of each to

actual paper results and who it may be suitable for.

�

To summarize, the synergy in which Juvelook’s PDLLA

ingredient induces collagen production and MTS helps

its absorption

�

was confirmed through an international journal, and

positive results were reported especially for pore reduction

and skin texture improvement in Asian skin types.

�

However, for any procedure, the most important step is

to check whether it suits your own skin condition, and I

hope you will keep that in mind.

�

Thank you for reading this long post.
