HuriCell explained: the automated SVF isolation system at Cheongdam The Cell

A four-step closed process from liposuction to injection

Quick answer

HuriCell is a patented, closed-loop automated system for isolating SVF, and it is the technical core of Cheongdam The Cell's regenerative programmes. The workflow has four steps: harvest fat under local anaesthesia, digest the tissue with collagenase, isolate SVF in the automated device, then inject the cells into the target area. A closed system lowers contamination risk and makes cell quality more consistent than manual preparation.

Closed system versus manual preparation

The real difference between hand-prepared cells and an automated line is how many times the cells meet open air. In the HuriCell closed system the fat enters a single disposable circuit and is digested, washed and separated inside it, with no manual transfers — the classic point at which contamination enters a traditional workflow.

SOL counting and verifiable numbers

After isolation, Cheongdam The Cell uses an SOL cell counter to report cell number and viability before injection. Those figures matter, because packages are quoted in cell ranges — 10–15 million for a full-face programme, 70–100 million for the systemic plus facial programme. A counter turns marketing language into a number you can check.

Patents and use in research

The centre states that HuriCell is patented and references its use in research with Korean university hospitals, including a 2021 SVF hair-loss paper in Stem Cell Research & Therapy. Readers should keep two things separate: a device being used in research is not the same as a therapy being approved for every indication.

Four questions to ask any provider

Four questions separate serious providers from the rest: open or closed processing, is cell count and viability reported to the patient, who performs the injection, and how is follow-up handled. Those answers tell you more than price lists or before-and-after photos.

Frequently asked questions

  • Why does a closed system matter?

    Cells that go back into your body should not be repeatedly exposed to open air or transferred between containers. A closed circuit lowers bacterial contamination risk and makes results more consistent case to case.

  • What determines the cell yield?

    The volume and quality of harvested fat, age, general health, smoking and chronic inflammation all affect the cell number and viability obtained that day.
