Adult Stem Cell Therapy in JK Plastic Surgery Center
About the clinic
Adult stem cell therapy at JK Plastic Surgery Center in Gangnam, Seoul, uses fat grafting for facial rejuvenation. The clinic says it is South Korea’s only government-approved stem cell therapy for cosmetic surgery and holds KAHF accreditation.
How the 6-step process works
Dr. Soon-Hong Kwon, a plastic surgeon specializing in stem cell fat grafting, performs the procedure. Fat is taken from the patient’s abdomen or thighs, then processed through a proprietary 6-step isolation and purification method.
The process separates concentrated fat cells from blood, dead cells, and other impurities. The purified cells are then grafted to areas such as the forehead, cheeks, nasolabial folds, or lips. The treatment aims to improve skin elasticity and tone, though results can vary.
Time, anesthesia, and recovery setting
The procedure takes about 1.5 hours and uses sedation. It is performed on an outpatient basis, so hospitalization is not required. Dr. Hee-Wook Wie, an anesthesiologist, provides anesthesia care for the clinic’s anti-aging procedures.
The clinic describes its method as designed to support fat-cell survival and reduce immune rejection. A consultation can help clarify whether this facial treatment suits a patient’s needs. Patients can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more.
