Calm treatment room for regenerative stem cell facials at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **3–5 sessions** Skin quality improves over weeks

Quick answer

What is a stem cell facial?

A stem cell facial is a regenerative facial that applies stem cell culture media, the growth factors and proteins released by cultured stem cells, to the skin. It does not inject living stem cells. Delivered with gentle microneedling or an infusion device, these factors support the skin’s own repair, hydration and collagen renewal.

In Seoul it is often chosen after lasers, for tired or ageing skin, or as a calmer alternative to stronger resurfacing. A related option with a more concentrated formula is exosome therapy.

Before & after

How the stem cell facial supports skin renewal

Growth factors signal skin cells to repair and produce collagen, so the skin gradually looks smoother, firmer and more even.

Calmer, hydrated skin with a soft glow.

FAQ

Stem Cell Facial questions

Does a stem cell facial use real stem cells?

No living stem cells are applied. The facial uses culture media containing growth factors and proteins secreted by cultured stem cells.

How many sessions are recommended?

Usually 3–5 sessions about 2–4 weeks apart for the most visible change in skin quality.

Stem cell facial or exosome?

Both are regenerative. Exosome products contain concentrated vesicles from stem cells and are often used for stronger repair, while a stem cell facial is a gentler, broader skin-quality treatment.

Can I do it after a laser?

Yes. It is commonly paired with lasers to calm skin and support healing, on the same day or a few days later.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
