What is stem cell therapy for the skin?
In aesthetic medicine, stem cell therapy usually means using concentrates prepared from your own tissue, which contain regenerative cells and growth factors, to support the skin's repair processes. The aim is better skin quality, texture and firmness rather than a sudden change.
At Egg Clinic, the published options are Ruby Stem, prepared from your blood, and Gold Stem, prepared from a small amount of your own fat. These are more intensive than PRP therapy, which also uses your blood. Related pages cover stem cell skin rejuvenation and other areas. Evidence for these treatments is still developing, so results vary.
Who is a good candidate?
- Ageing skin with loss of firmness and glow
- Thin, crepey skin around the eyes, neck or hands
- People who prefer treatments based on their own tissue
- Those who have tried boosters and want a more intensive option
Stem cell treatments are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infection or cancer, or with some blood disorders, and fat harvesting may not suit very lean patients. The doctor reviews your health and explains realistic expectations before you decide.

Before & after at Egg Clinic
This photo shows a Rejuran skin booster result, not stem cell therapy. Ask the doctor about expected changes at consultation.
What are the results and recovery like?
Recovery depends on the option. Blood-derived treatment involves a blood draw and injections, with redness, swelling or small bruises for a few days. Fat-derived treatment includes a small harvest under local anaesthetic, so the donor site may be sore and bruised for about a week. Skin changes develop gradually over the following weeks as repair and collagen formation continue, and how long they last varies from person to person.
How the treatment works
-
Consultation
The doctor assesses your skin and health and explains whether a blood- or fat-derived option suits you.
-
Preparation
Blood is drawn, or a small amount of fat is harvested under local anaesthetic, and processed at the clinic.
-
Injection
The prepared concentrate is injected into the planned areas with fine needles or a cannula.
-
Aftercare
Expect swelling or bruising for a few days. Avoid alcohol, saunas and strenuous exercise as advised.
Tips for international patients
- Book a consultation first, as suitability and the right option are decided by the doctor.
- Allow several days in Seoul after treatment in case of swelling or bruising.
- Avoid blood-thinning supplements beforehand if your doctor agrees.
- Ask questions on WhatsApp before your trip to plan timing.
Frequently asked questions
How much does stem cell therapy cost in Seoul?
At Egg Clinic, Ruby Stem (blood-derived, 60cc) is listed at ₩3,300,000, and Gold Stem (fat-derived, 1 kit) is listed from ₩9,000,000. The doctor confirms which option suits you; see the full price list.
What is the difference between Ruby Stem and Gold Stem?
Ruby Stem is prepared from your blood, while Gold Stem is prepared from a small amount of your own fat. The doctor explains which is suitable for your goals.
Is stem cell therapy the same as PRP?
No. PRP concentrates platelets from your blood, while stem cell options process blood or fat to obtain a more regenerative concentrate. Both use your own tissue.
Does stem cell therapy hurt?
Numbing cream or local anaesthetic is used, so most people feel pressure and mild discomfort. Fat harvesting can leave the donor area sore for several days.
How long is the downtime?
Expect a few days of redness, swelling or bruising, and up to about a week of soreness at a fat donor site.
When will I see results?
Changes are gradual and develop over several weeks. Results vary, and the doctor will discuss realistic expectations.
