About the clinic

The YONSEI BH Arterial Stemcell Clinic in Cheonan, South Korea provides specialized arterial stem cell therapy for optic nerve atrophy. A single session may cost around $34,600, while a recommended 5-session package is available for around $153,000. This clinic is the only one in Korea using a direct arterial delivery method, developed by a specialist with over four decades of experience.

This unique procedure delivers stem cells directly into the arteries supplying the optic nerve. This method aims to preserve remaining vision and slow further degeneration of the nerve. It requires a minimum of five sessions, as determined by the doctor's evaluation, and patients can typically go home on the same day.

Treatment Details

The clinic offers a focused regenerative approach. Key elements include:

Arterial Stem Cell Therapy: This is the primary treatment. It uses a direct injection technique into the eye's arteries.
High Cell Delivery: The method ensures 100% of the stem cells reach the target area, compared to a lower rate with standard intravenous (IV) delivery.
Goal of Treatment: The main aim is to slow disease progression. Some patients may experience minor improvements in their vision.

The Medical Team

The therapy is led by Dr. Byung-hee Lee, MD, a radiation oncologist with 41 years of experience. He has performed over 900 procedures and is a founder member of the Korean Society of Interventional Neurology. Dr. Lee has shared his expertise through more than 50 international lectures and 24 scientific publications.

Clinic and Patient Care

The RE:YOUTH clinic is accredited by the Korean Institute for Healthcare Accreditation and collaborates with Yonsei BH Clinic. It operates a VIP model, limiting care to only two patients per day to ensure focused attention. Treatment packages cover the medical procedures, but accommodation, airport transfers, and flights are arranged separately.

For individuals seeking a targeted, advanced option for optic nerve atrophy, this clinic offers a specialized program led by a highly experienced pioneer in the field. You can receive a consultation to see if this approach is suitable for your condition.

RE:YOUTH, in partnership with Yonsei BH Clinic, is the only institution in Korea offering arterial stem cell therapy. Unlike conventional IV treatments, which distribute stem cells randomly, this exclusive arterial approach delivers 100% of stem cells directly to targeted organs such as the brain, heart, liver, pancreas, and kidneys. This method enhances therapeutic outcomes for patients with chronic diseases.

Why Arterial Stem Cell Therapy?

Traditional IV injections only deliver a small percentage of stem cells to the affected organ. In contrast, RE:YOUTH’s arterial infusion ensures maximum absorption, faster regeneration, and superior clinical results.

Amazing view!!! Not regret going to this place at all. The walk to the campus is quite a hike and about 10 minutes from the station but loving every steps that I took to the campus.

Wanted to visit the campus due to time constraints we were only able to make it late in the evening. Easily accessible with bus to find the iconic spot thats been featured in lot of kdramas we were able to find it quickly. We did ask one student if we were going in the right direction as it was getting late and dark and we didnt want to get lost in the huge grounds. The campus has a lot of greenery almost forest like. We walked past by a bunch of international buildings and some other departments. Hopefully i get to come back and visit during the day time and check out the gift shop.
