Stem cell skin rejuvenation

Adipose-derived stem cells from the patient are combined with fat grafting to raise graft survival and improve overall skin condition.

Who it suits

  • Wants skin rejuvenation alongside fat grafting
  • Rapid fat resorption after earlier grafting
  • Thin skin with reduced elasticity

Technique highlights

  • Uses cells from the patient's own tissue
  • Performed within the same fat-grafting session
  • Structured follow-up after treatment

Surgical steps

  • Fat harvested from the planned donor site
  • Cells separated and the graft prepared
  • Re-injected into the target areas

Recovery & aftercare

  • Downtime ranges from none to 1-2 weeks depending on the procedure
  • Sutures removed at day 7-10 for surgical cases
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 7-10 days for surgical lifting
  • The full result appears at around three months

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding
