Cellora — advanced regenerative medicine clinic in Gangnam

Stem cells, functional medicine and aesthetics combined into one private-clinic path

Programme families: 4
Cell options: 5
Guests per day: 7 max

Quick answer

Cellora (셀로라 / Cellora of GU) is an advanced regenerative medicine clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, designated an advanced regenerative medicine institution by Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare in March 2025. Its distinguishing move is to fold functional-medicine diagnostics, five stem cell and immune therapies (blood, marrow, adipose, exosomes and NK cells) and face-and-body procedures into one package called RE:NEW-AGING, capping reservations at seven guests a day so every step happens in a single private room.

How does Cellora position itself?

The clinic's slogan is CELL TO AURA: the belief that the aura people see starts with the condition of your cells. So it does not sell single procedures but a path — functional diagnostics first, cell-level renewal next, and outer detail last.

1
Holistic care
Care that covers not just skin and appearance but functional medicine, regenerative medicine, hormones and nutrition, and lifestyle, in one integrated solution.
2
Personalized care
1:1 private consultation with reservations capped at seven people per day so testing and prescribing stay genuinely individual.
3
Evidence care
Three stem cell types used under the ministry's advanced regenerative institution criteria, with treatments limited to those backed by published research or patents.

What programmes does Cellora offer?

The menu is split into four families, with RE:NEW-AGING as the flagship that pulls the other three into a single path.

Cellora's RE:NEW-AGING signature package

RE:NEW-AGING — the signature package

From functional diagnostics to cell-level renewal

Cellora's flagship package links functional-medicine testing, stem cell / exosome / NK cell therapy and face-and-body procedures into a single path, split into session one (diagnose and treat) and session two (recover and maintain).

Session 1: cell function balance, cellular ageing and genetic function tests to read each person's ageing pattern.
Session 1: multiple picks from five immune/stem cell options and from six face-and-body treatment groups.
Session 2: recovery care with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and Hemapure blood-purification and circulation care.
Session 2: a maintenance programme of custom IV drips and supplements prescribed from the session-one results.
The clinic states every type, dose and add-on is adjusted in a 1:1 consultation, with sedation available for stem cell procedures.

See the clinic's programme page

CELL CHECK — the diagnostic baseline

The starting point of RE:NEW-AGING

Three diagnostic groups that open every programme — cell function balance, cellular ageing and genetic function — so the treatment plan is built on data rather than guesswork.

Cell function balance: detoxification, energy metabolism, hormone balance, neurotransmitters, immunity and autonomic regulation.
Listed panels: blood work, immune activity, hair mineral analysis, urine organic acids, gut microbiome balance, adrenal function, autonomic balance, body composition and delayed allergy testing.
Cellular ageing test: ageing speed, accumulated damage and recovery capacity.
Genetic function test: nutrient status, hormones and inflammatory markers used to set the treatment direction.

See the clinic's programme page

DEEP INNER — six inner-care packages

Change designed from the body's core, not the surface

Programmes that map metabolic, immune and hormonal balance with functional analysis, then use stem cell therapy on the underlying condition, split into six symptom-led packages.

Sleep and hormones: for chronic fatigue, insomnia, irregular cycles and menopausal symptoms (hormone panel plus stem cell therapy).
Detox and immunity: clearing waste and inflammation to reset the immune system.
Vitality and energy: realigning brain, nerve and metabolic function to restore focus and energy.
Hair-loss recovery: stem cell therapy to rebuild strength from scalp to follicle.
Sexual performance: tuning the three elements of circulation, hormones and energy.
Joint renewal: stem cell repair of damaged tissue to restore pain-free movement.

See the clinic's programme page

FACE & BODY — the high-end aesthetic line

Outer detail tuned to match the inner recovery

Skin and body work arranged to harmonise with the inner-recovery programme: skin care, lifting, skin boosters, filler and botox, body treatments and IV therapy.

Skin care: Hydrafacial, O2 derm and baseline skin programmes.
Lifting: Ulthera/Thermage combinations and thread lifting.
Skin boosters: Hylo-wave boosters and second-generation boosters.
Filler and botox: targeted fillers, Allergan skin botox and collagen boosters.
Body and IV: Onda, scoop injections, premium and functional-medicine IV drips.

Note: everything here summarises the clinic's own published descriptions. It is not medical advice, results vary between individuals, and anyone with an existing condition should consult their own physician first.

Which stem cell and immune therapies can you choose?

Inside the RE:NEW-AGING package you pick cell-level therapy from these five options, with type and dose set by your test results and a 1:1 consultation.

Blood-derived stem cells

Stem cells extracted from the patient's own blood for tissue recovery and repair.

Bone-marrow stem cells

Marrow-derived cells the clinic uses for a stronger anti-inflammatory effect.

Adipose stem cells

Adipose-tissue cells for regeneration and inflammation control — the type the clinic director says he has received himself.

Narosome (blood-derived exosomes)

Blood-derived exosomes used to carry cell-signalling molecules that speed recovery.

NK cells

Activated natural killer cells used to modulate immune function.

What separates Cellora from the many stem cell clinics in Gangnam is not the cell type but the order of work. Most clinics start from what you want done and pick a procedure. Cellora starts with a broad functional-medicine panel, reads it as your personal ageing pattern, and only then decides which cells, at what dose, and which system to fix first. The CELL TO AURA slogan maps to that sequence: diagnose, renew from the inside, finish on the outside.

The flagship RE:NEW-AGING package runs in two sessions. Session one diagnoses and treats: cell function balance, cellular ageing and genetic function tests, then multiple picks from five cell-level therapies plus face-and-body work from six groups. Session two recovers and maintains: hyperbaric oxygen therapy and Hemapure circulation care, followed by IV drips and supplements prescribed from the session-one results.

The CELL CHECK side is the part international patients should read most carefully, because it determines how long the trip runs. The listed panels cover blood work, immune activity, hair mineral analysis, urine organic acids, gut microbiome balance, adrenal function, autonomic balance, body composition and delayed allergy testing. Several depend on laboratory turnaround, so ask before flying which results wait, and for how many days.

The DEEP INNER family is six packages aimed at problems people rarely connect to stem cells: sleep and hormones, detox and immunity, vitality and energy, hair-loss recovery, sexual performance and joint renewal. The clinic's described approach is to locate the driver — hormonal or chronic inflammatory — with functional analysis, then use cells to repair tissue or restore balance, rather than injecting cells for vague anti-ageing alone.

On credibility, the clinic publishes six claims on its own EVIDENCE & TRUST page: being one of 20 clinic-level institutions designated for advanced regenerative medicine, joint research with a Konkuk University institute, an MOU with MEDIPOST (developer of the stem cell drug Cartistem), the involvement of Dr. Na Yun-chae, former head of the Chaum stem cell centre under CHA, its cell culture and banking technology, and the disclosure that the director and his family are patients themselves. These are the clinic's statements; verify them independently before deciding.

The visit is structured in five steps: Reserved (the space is held for you), Scanned (detailed testing in a dedicated suite), Settled (consultation, procedure and recovery in one room), Holistic Care (doctors come to you 1:1) and Restored (aftercare such as HBOT). The practical consequence of the seven-guest cap is that you never change rooms or queue between steps — a real advantage when your time in Seoul is short.

The clinic occupies three floors plus an annex. Floors 11 and 15 are Private Lounges running from reception through treatment; floor 16 is The Garden Suite, a whole-floor private suite reached by a dedicated lift; and the annex houses the stem cell centre that met the facility, equipment and staffing criteria behind the March 2025 designation. If cell banking interests you, ask about that centre specifically.

For international readers comparing options, treat Cellora as the all-inclusive, high-price, limited-capacity category rather than the one-shot injection category, because most of the value sits in the testing and planning. Questions worth asking before booking: what the package price covers, which results take how many days, how many trips to Korea are needed, which cell type and dose is planned, whether an English summary is provided for your doctor at home, and how follow-up works once you return.

Frequently asked questions

What is Cellora, and what kind of stem cell clinic is it?
Cellora (셀로라 / Cellora of GU) is an advanced regenerative medicine clinic in Gangnam, Seoul offering stem cells from three sources — blood, bone marrow and adipose tissue — plus exosomes and NK cells, all inside the RE:NEW-AGING package that always begins with functional-medicine testing.
Is Cellora really government-designated in Korea?
The clinic states it was designated an advanced regenerative medicine institution (첨단재생의료 실시기관) by Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare in March 2025, and that it is one of 20 clinic-level institutions nationwide meeting the facility, equipment and staffing criteria. This is the clinic's own published claim, so verify it with the authorities before deciding.
What is included in the RE:NEW-AGING package?
Session one is three diagnostic groups (cell function balance, cellular ageing and genetic function) plus cell-level therapy chosen from five options and face-and-body work from six groups. Session two is recovery with hyperbaric oxygen and Hemapure care, followed by personalised IV drips and supplements.
How many trips to Korea are needed, and how long does it take?
The programme is designed in two sessions and the clinic says everything is adjusted in a 1:1 consultation, so the number of trips and the timeline depend on the cell type chosen and laboratory turnaround. Ask the clinic directly, before booking flights, how far apart the two sessions must be and which results wait on the lab.
Why does Cellora cap reservations at seven guests a day?
Because the service model puts consultation, testing, the procedure and recovery in one private room with doctors coming to the guest 1:1. Capping the daily number is what makes that model physically possible rather than just a marketing line.
Who leads stem cell care at Cellora?
The clinic names Dr. Na Yun-chae, former head of the Chaum stem cell centre under CHA Biotech, as covering consultation, procedure and follow-up on a 1:1 basis, and states that director Dr. Park Ki-beom has received adipose stem cell therapy himself.
Who is Cellora a good fit for, and who is it not?
It fits people who want deep testing and a long-term plan and are prepared to pay for an all-inclusive package with private service. It does not fit people who only want the cheapest single injection, or whose time in Seoul is too short to wait for results. Anyone with an existing condition should consult their own physician first.
What are the risks of stem cell therapy at Cellora?
The general risks of this class of procedure are swelling, bruising, bleeding or infection at the harvest and injection sites, and results that vary between individuals. This page compiles public information for education; it is not medical advice and guarantees no outcome.
