A procedure that injects stem cells or stem cell-derived components (conditioned media, exosomes) into the skin or scalp to promote tissue regeneration.
Overview
Stem cell injection uses autologous stem cells (adipose-derived, etc.) or stem cell conditioned media and exosomes for skin regeneration, hair loss improvement, and wound healing acceleration. The field is divided between treatments injecting actual cells and those using cell-derived components only. Regulatory frameworks vary, and treatment efficacy continues to be studied with growing clinical evidence.
Mechanism
Stem cells or stem cell-derived growth factors are injected into target tissue to promote regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate into needed cell types and secrete paracrine factors that stimulate local tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote angiogenesis and collagen synthesis.
Effects
Tissue regeneration, anti-aging skin rejuvenation, hair regrowth stimulation, wound healing acceleration, joint and cartilage repair support, and overall regenerative effects.
Duration
Varies by indication. Skin rejuvenation: 3-5 sessions at 2-4 week intervals. Hair loss: 4-6 sessions monthly. Effects develop over 1-3 months and may last 6-12 months.
Recovery
Minimal downtime. Mild redness and swelling at injection sites for 1-2 days. Bruising possible. Normal activities can resume immediately.
Side Effects
Temporary redness, swelling, and bruising. Rarely, infection or allergic reaction. Long-term safety data still being accumulated. Quality and source of stem cells vary between providers.
Price Range
500,000-3,000,000 KRW per session depending on source and volume.
Target Audience
Those seeking advanced regenerative treatment for anti-aging, hair loss, wound healing, and those interested in cutting-edge regenerative medicine approaches.
