Stem Cell Pigmentation Therapy in Seoul

Nanoori Stem Cell Center, Gangnam

Uneven skin tone—melasma, sun spots, post-inflammatory marks (PIH)—can be stubborn. You may see “stem cell” claims for pigment correction. At Nanoori Stem Cell Center, our clinical specialty is orthopedic regenerative care. For pigmentation, any cell-related skincare use is investigational. We provide honest guidance and coordinate with board-certified dermatology partners to create safe, specialist-led treatment plans.

Straight talk: We do not offer unregulated “stem cell drips” or direct stem-cell facial injections. Any cell-derived adjuncts must follow local regulations and be performed by qualified dermatology clinics.

Know Your Pigmentation Type

Melasma: hormonally/UV-driven patches on cheeks, forehead, upper lip
Lentigines (sun spots): discrete brown spots from photoaging
PIH: brown/gray marks after acne, procedures, or irritation
Mixed pigment + redness: common in sensitive or post-acne skin

Evidence-Based Options Our Partners May Use

Medical topicals: hydroquinone (cyclic), azelaic acid, kojic/VC/niacinamide, retinoids, sunscreen strategy
Procedures: gentle chemical peels; laser/energy (low-fluence Q-switch, picosecond, fractional) customized to skin tone
Supportive care: barrier repair, anti-inflammatory routines, trigger control (heat/UV/hormones)
Maintenance plans: cyclic brightening + daily SPF to prevent rebound

Where “Stem Cell” Fits (Current Reality)

Select clinics explore cell-derived biologics (e.g., conditioned media/exosome-type products) as adjuncts to microneedling/laser to support skin quality. These are not stand-alone pigment cures, are specialist-dependent, and must remain compliant. We refer only to regulated providers.

Your Visit at Nanoori (What We Actually Do)

Screening & Mapping – Skin history, Fitzpatrick type, triggers, pregnancy/meds; baseline photos in neutral light.
Specialist Coordination – Referral to partner dermatology teams for a staged, tone-safe protocol.
Wellness Supports (Non-Cell) – Sleep, UV habits, gentle skincare; optional non-cell Wellness IV after screening.
Follow-Up – Photo-matched progress checks; travel-friendly scheduling for international patients.

Typical Treatment Journey (Specialist-Led Example)

Month 0–1: Sun protocol + medical brightening start; barrier repair
Month 1–3: Series of peels and/or low-fluence laser sessions (parameters adjusted to skin tone)
Month 3–6: Maintenance cadence; treat remaining spots; consider adjuncts where compliant
Expect a series and strict sun care for durable results—melasma especially needs long-term maintenance.

Safety & Considerations

Choose board-certified dermatology teams—pigment care must match your skin tone and history.
Temporary redness/peeling can occur; PIH risk is higher in darker skin tones without careful protocols.
Avoid heat, harsh scrubs, and unregulated “stem cell” promises that may worsen pigment.

FAQ

Do you inject stem cells to remove pigmentation?
No. We coordinate regulated, specialist-led plans; any cell-related use is adjunctive and investigational.

Will laser make my melasma worse?
Wrong settings can. Experienced dermatologists use tone-safe parameters and combine with topicals and sun strategy to minimize rebound.

Can I start during a short visit to Seoul?
Yes. We can arrange a consult and initial session, then provide a maintenance plan you can continue at home.
