Hongdae Stem Cells? Here’s the Key Summary.

Even if you use expensive cosmetics,

even if you receive dermatology treatments,

why does your skin seem less and less like it used to be?

Hello, this is Dr. Oh Yeong-ju,

the chief doctor at Oblique Clinic in Hongdae.

Skin care is something many people pay attention to,

but as we get older, a decline in skin elasticity and regenerative power

is an unavoidable natural phenomenon.

Moreover, simple cosmetics or general procedures

can only go so far.

Perhaps that is why, among the people visiting our clinic these days,

more and more are asking questions about stem cells.

Today, as a doctor treating dermatology patients,

I have summarized in an easy-to-understand way

why stem cell procedures are drawing attention,

the reasons for that interest, and how they work.

If you are planning a visit to a dermatology clinic, please pay attention for a moment!

What is the difference between general skin care and stem cell procedures?

Hongdae Stem Cells? Here’s the Key Summary. -1

When many people have skin concerns, the first things that come to mind are

general skin procedures such as laser treatments, fillers, and Botox.

Of course, these procedures are excellent for temporary effects,

but they do not make the skin fundamentally healthier from within.

✔ Laser treatment – stimulates the skin surface to temporarily increase elasticity

✔ Filler – improves wrinkles by restoring volume, but is broken down over time

✔ Botox – relaxes muscles to prevent wrinkles, but is not the same as fundamental skin improvement

The reason many people are not satisfied even after repeating these procedures is

that what they need is not a simple improvement in appearance,

but a fundamental improvement in the skin itself.

By contrast, stem cell injection procedures

work by activating the skin’s own regenerative ability.

Rather than simply changing the appearance,

they make the cells inside the skin younger and healthier,

which is the biggest difference and allows the skin to improve over the long term.

What is the key effect of stem cell injections?

Stem cells play a role in regenerating damaged cells and promoting the growth of new cells.

Stem cells injected deep into the skin activate the production of collagen and elastin,

helping the skin recover naturally.

As a result, over time, skin elasticity increases

and fine lines can be softened.

(Especially, Miracell stem cell injections were recognized as a New Medical Technology by the Ministry of Health and Welfare,

and since July 2023, stem cell-related products have been used at large general hospitals and about 580 clinics, including Severance Hospital, Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital, and Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital.)

In addition, unlike Botox or fillers, the effects of stem cell injections improve over time.

About 3 to 6 months after the procedure, skin regeneration effects begin to appear in earnest,

and the maintenance period is longer than with general skin procedures,

with natural results expected even with repeated treatments.

Moreover, because your own cells are used from the outset,

the possibility of immune rejection or side effects is significantly lower,

and because it is a non-surgical procedure that does not require an incision,

the recovery period is short, allowing a quick return to daily life, which is another advantage^^

This type of stem cell injection procedure is recommended for people whose skin health has weakened,

or who have reduced elasticity, fine lines, or diminished fundamental regenerative capacity in the skin.

Skin care should not only aim for short-term effects,

but should be focused on maintaining healthy skin over a long period of time.

Stem cells, which can help restore health from within the skin,

may be a good option to help address your concerns.

I hope today’s post can be of even a small help to you at an important moment.

That’s all I prepared for today.

This was Dr. Oh Yeong-ju from Oblique Clinic in Hongdae.
