About the clinic

RE:YOUTH, partnered with Yonsei BH Arterial Stem Cell Clinic, offers dementia assessment and arterial stem cell therapy in South Korea. It is described as Korea’s only clinic offering arterial rather than intravenous stem cell therapy. Dr. Byunghee Lee, the clinic director, has over 30 years of experience and 10,000+ endovascular procedures.

Dementia assessment with Philips Azurion 5M 20

The KOIHA-accredited clinic assesses whether a patient may be suitable for treatment. Dr. Lee has also performed 45,000+ vascular examinations. His experience includes Korea’s first carotid artery stenting in 1997 and intracranial cerebrovascular stenting in 1998.

Pre-treatment consultation: Reviews candidacy and supports treatment planning.
Digital angiography: Uses the Philips Azurion 5M 20 to assess blood vessels.

Arterial stem cell treatment options

Arterial stem cell therapy for dementia: The clinic extracts the patient’s own blood stem cells using a SMART M-CELL4 machine. A catheter then delivers the cells into cerebral blood vessels. The injection takes about 2 hours, typically in one session. Recovery takes 2–3 hours in a private room, followed by same-day discharge. The clinic says patients may return to daily activities about 3 hours after the procedure. Using the patient’s own cells carries minimal risk of immune rejection.
Preventive arterial stem cell therapy: This single treatment is described as aimed at preventing dementia and Parkinson’s disease. It involves injecting healthy stem cells into cerebral vessels and areas of dopamine-secreting brain tissue affected by aging.

The dementia treatment includes consultation, treatment planning, cell extraction, catheter-based infusion, private-room recovery, same-day discharge, and aftercare. International patient support includes airport pickup, accommodation, and hospital guidance. Flights, hotel stays beyond the hospital stay, and optional tours of Korea are not included.

Dr. Lee was the first in Korea to perform stent-assisted coil embolization for cerebral aneurysms in 2002. He is a founding member of the Korean Society of Neurointervention and Korean Stroke Society. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss assessment and treatment options.

Republic of Korea, Cheonan

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.

Proven Success in Treating Chronic Diseases

Neurodegenerative Disorders (Parkinson’s & Dementia). Improved motor skills, reduced tremors, and cognitive enhancement through neurogenesis.
Diabetes & Pancreatic Regeneration. Reduced insulin dependence and stabilized blood sugar levels by regenerating pancreatic beta-cells.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) & Vascular Regeneration. Restores vascular function and nerve health, enabling many patients to regain natural function without medication.
Liver Cirrhosis & Liver Failure. Enhanced liver function and improved enzyme levels through stem cell-based repair and regeneration.
Kidney Disease & Renal Failure. Improved kidney function, helping many avoid dialysis and experience better filtration rates.
Cardiovascular Diseases & Post-Stroke Recovery. Restores cardiac function, promotes new blood vessel formation, and accelerates post-stroke recovery.

RE:YOUTH also treats various refractory diseases, with personalized treatment plans available.

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.
