Popularity
The clinic states it is its most popular programme

性(Sex)CELL is one of Cheongdam Cell Clinic's specialised programmes, which the clinic states is its most popular offering. The name derives from the Chinese character 性, referring to sexuality. Its core mechanism is injecting stem cells directly into genital tissue, unlike 淸(Rejuvenation)CELL, which is injected system-wide into the bloodstream.

For men, the clinic explains that advancing age, smoking, alcohol use, diabetes and hypertension narrow and weaken blood vessels in the genital area, a leading cause of erectile dysfunction. The clinic states stem cells help regenerate and strengthen these vessels.

For women, the clinic explains that after menopause, declining hormone levels lead to vaginal dryness and possible pain during intercourse, which over time can contribute to frigidity. The clinic states stem cells help increase natural lubrication, and also cites a benefit for urinary incontinence.

The process follows the same general flow as the clinic's other programmes: bone-marrow harvest, isolating concentrated cells without culturing, then injecting them directly into genital tissue — all completed within half a day, as with the other programmes.

The clinic states this programme is popular among middle-aged clients, since sexual-function issues and vaginal dryness become more common with age, and positions it as a specialised option not commonly found at general aesthetic clinics.

In terms of scientific evidence, stem-cell use for sexual-function restoration remains a field with more limited research than indications such as musculoskeletal pain treatment. Patients should understand that the mechanism described above reflects what the clinic states on its website, not a conclusion from large, internationally recognised clinical trials.

Patients interested in 性(Sex)CELL should first consult a physician for a thorough assessment of the underlying cause of their sexual-function concern, since causes can be multifactorial — involving vascular disease, hormones or psychological factors — and may require care alongside other specialists.

The clinic continues to state its standard caution that side effects such as swelling, bleeding or infection at the injection site may occur, and does not publish pricing for this programme publicly; interested patients must request a written quote and further details directly.
