Aftercare and follow-up after treatment at Cheongdam Cell Clinic

What the clinic flags to watch for, and how follow-up works after stem cell injection

Quick answer

After a procedure at Cheongdam Cell Clinic, the clinic states side effects such as swelling, bleeding or infection may occur. Although it states there are no restrictions on daily life from the day of the procedure for some programmes, patients should watch closely for abnormal symptoms and contact the clinic immediately if anything severe develops. Long-term follow-up should go through channels the clinic specifies, since stem cell treatment outcomes vary from person to person.

The clinic states clearly across every programme's published materials that side effects such as swelling, bleeding or infection may occur after the procedure. Patients should understand before deciding to proceed that injecting stem cells — whether into blood vessels, genital tissue, facial skin, the scalp, or a painful site — carries the same basic risks as any injection-based medical procedure. Acknowledging these risks in advance and strictly following the doctor's instructions is an important part of self-care afterward.

For the 淸(Rejuvenation)CELL programme, which involves bone marrow extraction, cell isolation and intravenous injection, the clinic states the whole process finishes within half a day with no restriction on daily activity from the day of the procedure. However, the extraction site may still experience localised pain or swelling typical of any skin-puncturing procedure, so patients should ask the doctor directly about wound care at the extraction site and notify the clinic immediately if abnormal redness, heat or fever develops.

For the 性(Sex)CELL programme, which injects stem cells into genital tissue, the clinic does not publish specialty-specific precautions on its website beyond the general warning about swelling, bleeding or infection. Patients undergoing this programme should ask the doctor directly about how long to avoid sexual activity or activity that could affect the injection site, and what warning signs warrant contacting the clinic promptly, since this article has no confirmed detail from the clinic on this specific point.

For the 美(Beauty)CELL and 毛(Hair)CELL programmes involving the face and scalp, general aftercare following any skin-injection procedure typically includes avoiding unnecessary contact with the injection site, protecting the area from direct sun, and gentle cleansing. Specific details, such as how many days to avoid makeup or shampooing, are not published with exact figures on the clinic's public site, so patients should get written instructions directly from the treating doctor on the day of the actual procedure.

For the 活(Vitality)CELL programme targeting musculoskeletal pain, the clinic states the goal is restoring normal tissue function, not just temporary pain relief. Patients should understand results may not appear immediately after injection, and should ask the doctor about activities to avoid or modify — such as heavy exercise or lifting — during the period following the procedure, so as not to interfere with the body's regeneration process.

On long-term follow-up, the clinic does not publish a standardised follow-up schedule for every programme on its public site. Patients should ask the doctor directly on the procedure day whether a return visit is needed, and if travelling home as a foreign patient, should ask whether the clinic offers remote follow-up channels such as email or video calls, so they can report symptoms or observed results on an ongoing basis.

If severe abnormal symptoms occur after returning to Thailand — such as high fever, unusually severe swelling, or concerning signs at the injection site — patients should seek medical attention in Thailand immediately without waiting for a response from the treating clinic abroad, and should tell the Thai doctor about the recent stem cell injection abroad, including the programme and procedure date, so the Thai doctor can assess and treat appropriately.

Overall, aftercare at Cheongdam Cell Clinic should follow three principles: strictly follow the personalised instructions the doctor gives on the procedure day, watch continuously for abnormal symptoms especially in the first week, and keep a contact channel open with the clinic for follow-up or symptom reporting, since the clinic itself states side effects may occur and treatment outcomes vary from person to person.
