Stem Cell Scar Repair in Korea

Nanoori Stem Cell Center, Gangnam (Seoul)

Acne, surgical, and trauma scars can affect confidence long after healing. You may see “stem cell” claims for scar revision. At Nanoori Stem Cell Center, our core specialty is orthopedic regenerative care. For skin scars, any stem-cell–related use is investigational. We provide honest guidance and coordinate care with board-certified dermatology/plastic-surgery partners in Korea for safe, specialist-led treatment plans.


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

Scar Types We Help Coordinate

  • Atrophic scars: acne (ice-pick, boxcar, rolling), post-surgical depressions
  • Hypertrophic scars / keloids: raised, itchy, or red scars
  • Mixed scars: texture + pigment/vascular changes

Evidence-Based Options (Specialist-Led)

  • Subcision (releasing tethered scars) ± filler for rolling scars
  • TCA CROSS for ice-pick/boxcar edges
  • Fractional lasers / RF microneedling for collagen remodeling
  • Scar injections (steroid/5-FU/other per specialist) for hypertrophic/keloid control
  • Microneedling ± PRP/skin boosters for texture and tone
  • Pigment & redness care: IPL/vascular lasers, brightening topicals, sun protocol

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 dermal remodeling. These are not stand-alone “stem cell scar cures,” are specialist-dependent, and must remain compliant. We refer only to regulated providers.

Your Visit at Nanoori (What We Actually Do)

  1. Screening & Mapping – Scar type, skin tone (Fitzpatrick), prior treatments, downtime tolerance; baseline photos.
  2. Specialist Coordination – Referral to partner derm/plastic teams for a staged plan by scar type and skin tone.
  3. Wellness Supports (Non-Cell) – Sleep, nutrition, and sun-care basics to optimize healing; optional non-cell Wellness IV after screening.
  4. Follow-Up – Photo-matched tracking, itinerary-friendly scheduling for medical travelers.

Typical Treatment Journey (Example)

  • Session 1–2: Subcision/CROSS for structure; start gentle resurfacing and strict sun care
  • Session 3–4: Fractional laser or RF microneedling series; optional PRP/boosters
  • Maintenance: Topicals, SPF, periodic touch-ups for texture and pigment control
    Expect a         series over 3–6+ months for meaningful remodeling; deeper scars need longer.

Safety & Considerations

  • Choose board-certified specialists—technique and parameters must match your skin type.
  • Temporary redness/swelling/peeling are common; risk of PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) requires careful protocols and sun discipline.
  • Active acne, infection, or poor wound care delay treatment until controlled.
  • We avoid clinics promising “stem cell scar cures.”

FAQ

Do you inject stem cells into scars?
No. Any cell-related use is adjunctive and investigational under specialist supervision.

Most patients need multiple sessions tailored to scar type and skin tone—your specialist will map a series.

Can I start during a short trip to Korea?
Yes. We can arrange an initial consult/procedure and provide a travel-safe schedule and aftercare plan.
