What are Lienjang's stem cells taken from, and how is that different?

The clinic states it isolates adult stem cells from the patient's own blood — not embryonic or induced cells — and does not culture them, unlike clinics that harvest bone marrow or fat and culture the cells in a lab before reinjection.

Can the procedure really be completed in one day?

Yes. Because the cells are separated and concentrated without culture, the clinic draws blood, isolates the cells and reinjects them the same day — no culture cycle and no return flight.

How does facial stem cell injection differ from a skin booster?

The clinic explains that ordinary boosters use substances produced during cell culture to temporarily raise the recovery capacity of existing cells, while stem cell injection targets cell division producing new skin cells — what the clinic calls reverse ageing.

What are the PPP and low-molecular hyaluronic acid added to the injection?

PPP is a serum separated from your own blood that is rich in growth factors; the clinic uses it to reduce rejection and support the stem cells. Low-molecular hyaluronic acid is included to hold the skin's moisture balance afterwards.

How often should the treatment be repeated?

For the intravenous programme the clinic suggests about one to two sessions a year depending on your condition. For the facial programme there is no fixed number; the clinic says to consult a specialist first because responses and goals differ.

What should I avoid after the injection?

The clinic advises avoiding alcohol and smoking for about two weeks, avoiding steroids, painkillers, anti-inflammatories and herbal medicines over the same period because they interfere with cell recovery, and keeping your body warm so circulation stays good.

What must I disclose before the procedure?

Tell the clinic in advance if you take aspirin or anything affecting blood flow, and disclose chronic conditions, pregnancy, cancer history and immunosuppressants so the doctor can assess suitability first.

How much does it cost and where do I ask?

Prices are not published online. Ask through the clinic's Thai LINE channel, its online booking system or +82-10-5297-3625, and request a written quote stating the programme, number of sessions and total cost before you travel.

Is Thai-language service available?

Yes. The clinic runs its own Thai-language website, a Thai LINE channel and a Thai online booking system, so you can arrange appointments and ask questions from Thailand directly.

How do I get to the clinic?

The clinic is on floors 14–18 of 343 Gangnam Tower at 403 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul. Take exit 10 of Gangnam Station and it is right there, or search “343 Gangnam Tower” in your navigation app.

Facial stem cell therapy and stem cell IV drips in Gangnam, Seoul

Stem cell programmes: 2
Completed in: One day
Clinic floors: 14–18F

Quick answer

Lienjang (리엔장성형외과) is a plastic surgery hospital in Gangnam, Seoul, on floors 14–18 of 343 Gangnam Tower by exit 10 of Gangnam Station, with a dedicated Thai-language site and staff. Its stem cell menu has two programmes: facial stem cell injection and an intravenous stem cell drip. Both use non-cultured adult stem cells isolated from the patient's own blood, so the draw and reinjection happen the same day. A specialist anaesthesiologist is on staff and the clinic runs a signature aftercare programme called Inner Beauty.

What stem cell programmes does Lienjang offer?

The clinic splits its stem cell work into two goal-based routes: injected directly into the face, or delivered intravenously for the whole body. Both use the patient's own cells with no culture step.

Reverse ageing, not a skin booster

Facial stem cell therapy

The clinic describes harvesting adult stem cells from the patient's own blood and reinjecting them into the face the same day, without culture. The stated goal is cell division that produces new skin cells, in contrast to conventional skin boosters that use culture media to give existing cells a temporary lift.

Blood draw, cell isolation and reinjection all happen in one day, with no second trip required.
The clinic states it uses only adult stem cells isolated from blood, not embryonic or induced pluripotent cells.
Injected together with autologous PPP rich in growth factors, intended to reduce rejection and support cell activity.
Low-molecular hyaluronic acid is added to hold the skin's moisture balance.
A specialist anaesthesiologist is on staff at the clinic.

Stem cell IV drip

An intravenous stem cell infusion. The clinic explains that the cells travel to the most damaged or inflamed areas, encourage new vessel formation where blood supply is poor, reduce vascular inflammation and support immune cell function.

Uses the patient's own non-cultured cells, so the procedure completes in a single day.
The clinic cites improved circulation and support for blood pressure and cardiac function.
Paired with the clinic's signature Inner Beauty programme of multivitamins, amino acids and minerals, tailored per person.
The clinic states it helps with chronic fatigue and with liver and brain function.
The clinic suggests roughly one to two sessions a year, depending on individual condition.

How does Lienjang differ from other clinics?

KEY POINT #1

No cell culture, finished in one day

Because the cells are isolated and concentrated without culture, the clinic can draw blood and reinject on the same day, and states there is no contamination or cell-transformation risk from a culture step.

KEY POINT #2

Only cells that divide well are kept

The clinic says it isolates only adult stem cells with strong division capacity, so the quality of what gets reinjected stays consistent.

KEY POINT #3

PPP and low-molecular hyaluronic acid

PPP is an autologous serum rich in growth factors, used alongside low-molecular hyaluronic acid to hold moisture and give the cells a better working environment.

KEY POINT #4

Inner Beauty aftercare

Lienjang's signature post-procedure programme, which the clinic says reinforces the treatment's effect and reduces swelling.
