Stem cell therapy at Yaan Clinic is an autologous regenerative treatment in which a concentrate is prepared from your own blood and used on the skin, neck or scalp, or given intravenously. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the extraction and the procedure take place on the same day, with no cell culture involved.
The words "stem cell" are used widely in aesthetic medicine, and they can mean very different things. This page explains clearly what Yaan Clinic's treatment involves, what it is offered for, and where the evidence is still limited, so you can make an informed decision.
What is stem cell therapy at Yaan Clinic?
It is a same-day treatment that uses your own blood. Blood is drawn, processed with a three-chamber extraction kit to produce a concentrate, and then injected into the skin, neck or scalp, or given by IV. Nothing is grown or cultured in a lab.
Because the material comes from your own body, the risk of allergic reaction to the concentrate itself is low. Yaan Clinic states that the extraction kit is approved by the KFDA (now MFDS), carries CE marking and is FDA-cleared. Ask your doctor to explain the device and the approval that applies to it.
How is stem cell therapy supposed to work?
The idea is that concentrated components from your own blood support the skin's natural repair processes. Yaan Clinic describes the cells as circulating and helping damaged areas regenerate. Research in this field is still developing, so results vary and are not guaranteed.
Yaan Clinic states a cell survival rate of 98% with its kit, compared with under 50% for general PRP. These figures are the clinic's own, and independent comparisons depend on how they are measured. Your doctor can explain the basis for them.
Good to know: Regenerative aesthetic treatments are an evolving area. They are not a substitute for medical diagnosis or prescribed treatment of conditions such as hair-loss disorders, immune problems or chronic fatigue. If you have a medical concern, see an appropriate specialist first.
What is stem cell therapy used for at Yaan Clinic?
Yaan Clinic offers this treatment mainly for skin aging and scalp concerns. The clinic also lists general wellness goals, such as fatigue, which are less well supported by evidence and should be discussed carefully with your doctor.
| Goal | Route at Yaan Clinic | Related options |
|---|---|---|
| Skin elasticity, wrinkles, dryness | Skin injection (Dermashine) | Skin boosters |
| Pigmentation and dull tone | Skin injection | Personal Brightening |
| Neck wrinkles | Neck injection | Neck lines |
| Thinning hair | Scalp injection | Density |
| General anti-aging and wellness | Intravenous | Anti-aging treatments |
What happens during stem cell therapy at Yaan Clinic?
The whole process happens in one visit. Yaan Clinic notes that the director performs the treatment directly and that care takes place in a private, hotel-suite-style setting.
- Consultation – Your doctor reviews your goals, health history and medications, and decides the route and areas.
- Glutathione – Yaan Clinic gives glutathione before the procedure as part of its protocol.
- Blood draw and extraction – Blood is drawn and processed with the three-chamber kit to prepare the concentrate on the spot.
- Treatment – The concentrate is injected into the skin with the Dermashine injector, into the neck or scalp, or given intravenously. AirNox pain care is available for skin and scalp.
- Plasma LDM Recovery Therapy – Aftercare for treated skin and neck areas; see LDM treatment.
Who is a good candidate?
Good candidates are healthy adults who want a supportive, natural-origin treatment for skin aging or thinning hair and who understand that results vary. It is not suitable for everyone.
Treatments using your own blood are generally not recommended for people with blood disorders, active infection, cancer under treatment, or those taking certain blood-thinning medications, and during pregnancy. Your doctor will confirm suitability at consultation.
Stem cell therapy vs skin boosters: which should I choose?
Skin boosters use manufactured products with well-described ingredients, while Yaan Clinic's stem cell therapy uses your own blood. For specific concerns like acne scars or dehydration, a targeted booster is often the more predictable choice.
| Stem cell therapy (Yaan) | Rejuran Healer | Re2O Cell | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source | Your own blood, same day | Polynucleotide from salmon DNA | Human acellular dermal matrix |
| Routes | Skin, neck, scalp, IV | Skin | Skin |
| Main use | General regeneration, scalp | Repair, sensitive skin | Thin skin, elasticity |
| Published duration | Not stated | Not stated | Over 1 year (as stated) |
Compare with Re2O Cell and other boosters before deciding.
What results can I expect, and how long do they last?
Yaan Clinic does not publish a fixed timeline, number of sessions or duration for stem cell therapy. Any improvement in skin quality or scalp condition is typically gradual, and the response differs considerably between people.
For realistic expectations, ask your doctor what change is typical for your concern, how it will be assessed (for example with Meta-Vu skin analysis or scalp photos), and whether a series is recommended. Be cautious of any promise of guaranteed or dramatic results from regenerative treatments, at any clinic.
What should I ask before stem cell therapy?
- What exactly is in the concentrate, and how is it prepared?
- Which device is used, and what approvals does it have?
- Is skin, scalp or IV treatment best for my goal, and why?
- How many sessions do you recommend, and at what interval?
- Are there more predictable alternatives for my main concern?
Is stem cell therapy safe?
Using your own blood lowers the risk of reactions to the material, but any injection or IV carries risks, including bruising, swelling, infection and discomfort at the blood-draw site. Yaan Clinic states it has treatment liability insurance.
