How Does a Stem Cell Facial Work?
Cheongdam Min Clinic Seoul Korea
A stem cell facial works by delivering stem cell-derived growth factors into the skin to stimulate collagen production, repair damaged cells, and enhance natural skin regeneration. At Cheongdam Min Clinic, this treatment uses advanced Korean dermatology techniques to improve skin texture, elasticity, and radiance with minimal downtime.
Unlike surface-level facials or treatments like Botox, stem cell facials focus on deep cellular repair, resulting in long-term skin improvement.
How Does a Stem Cell Facial Work?
A stem cell facial works through a combination of micro-delivery techniques and regenerative bioactive ingredients.
Step-by-Step Mechanism
- Microchannel Creation
Microneedling or laser-assisted techniques create tiny channels in the skin - Stem Cell Delivery
Stem cell-derived growth factors are infused into the deeper layers - Cellular Activation
These bioactive components stimulate fibroblasts and skin repair processes - Collagen Production
Increased collagen and elastin production improves skin structure - Skin Regeneration
Damaged skin cells are repaired, resulting in smoother, healthier skin
What Happens Inside the Skin?
Once applied, stem cell-derived factors:
- Signal cells to regenerate and repair
- Boost collagen and elastin synthesis
- Improve blood circulation
- Strengthen the skin barrier
- Accelerate healing and renewal
This leads to gradual and natural skin rejuvenation.

Procedure Method: A technique in which stem cells are injected directly into the dermal layer of the skin where regeneration is needed.
Treatment Effects: This treatment can be applied not only to the face but also to the neck, and is effective for scar regeneration. Stem cells injected into the dermis regenerate collagen and elastin.
Skin immunity enhancement / Collagen regeneration / Elastin regeneration / Skin tone improvement / Elasticity and wrinkle improvement / Skin scar improvement
2. Stem Cell Intravenous Injection
Procedure Method: A method in which concentrated stem cells, without culturing, are injected through an intravenous (vein) infusion.
Treatment Effects: Stem cells transplanted through the vein circulate throughout the body via the bloodstream, concentrating more on areas that require regeneration and creating new blood vessels in regions with poor blood supply, helping oxygen and nutrients be delivered smoothly.
Anti-aging effect / Immune function improvement / Enhanced regenerative ability / Fatigue recovery / Liver function improvement / Wound and inflammation healing
3. Stem Cell Hair-Loss Improvement
Procedure Method: A method in which injections are delivered deeply into the hair root level on the thinning or hair-loss areas of the scalp.
Treatment Effects: By reconnecting micro-capillaries to hair roots that previously lacked sufficient oxygen and nutrient supply, thin and weakened hair becomes thicker and stronger. It also improves hair-loss symptoms by promoting the proliferation of follicle cells and stimulating hair growth.
Hair root strengthening / Follicle cell proliferation / Micro-capillary regeneration / Hair growth promotion / Improvement in hair thickness

Stem Cell System Recognized by Domestic and International Experts
Sherwin Kevy, M.D., Developer at Harvard Medical School Immunology Research Laboratory
“Some PRP products contain only a very small number of white blood cells, so they should be considered to contain virtually no stem cells. However, this device reduces granulocytic white blood cells and includes leukocytes enriched with more mononuclear cells (lymphocytes and monocytes), thereby producing high levels of SDF-1α.”

Stem Cell Treatment — Pre & Post Care Guidelines
- Avoid taking aspirin-based medications before the procedure, as they may interfere with proper blood flow.
- Washing your face, showering, and applying makeup are allowed starting the next day after the procedure.
- For two weeks after treatment, avoid using patches, anti-inflammatory drugs, or steroids, as they may hinder stem cell regeneration.
- Muscle soreness may occur after the procedure; if the pain is severe, you may take Tylenol. (For any other medications, please consult with your medical provider before taking them.)
- Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, saunas, and strenuous exercise for two weeks, as this will help the recovery process.
- Bruising, swelling, and discomfort typically improve within 1–2 weeks after the procedure.
