Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine

What Is Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine at Cellon Dermatology?

Regenerative medicine works at the cellular level — reactivating the body's own repair mechanisms to restore function, structure, and vitality from within, rather than masking symptoms on the surface. At Cellon Dermatology, this is not a secondary offering; it is the clinic's defining purpose.

The name Cell On says it plainly: switching your cells back on. After 15 years of clinical practice, the team led by Dr. Seung-hoon Kang made a deliberate shift to focus on stem cell therapy and anti-aging regenerative medicine. In 2025, that commitment was formally recognized when Cellon Dermatology received official designation as an Advanced Regenerative Medicine Institution by South Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare — a certification few clinic-level institutions have achieved.

For patients, this means access to advanced regenerative care within a medically rigorous, government-verified environment.

Advanced Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine – Key Procedures & Patient Care

Cellon's regenerative program addresses three core clinical goals. Tissue and organ regeneration uses stem cells and growth factors to rebuild damaged skin, cartilage, and nerve tissue at the cellular level — not simply filling defects, but stimulating the formation of new, functional tissue. Physical function recovery applies customized cell therapy to joints and soft tissues weakened by aging or injury, supporting structural stability without surgery. Disease treatment and prevention intervenes at the cellular level to suppress inflammation and regulate immune response, slowing the progression of chronic conditions over the long term.

Throughout every stage, Cellon maintains full lifecycle tracking of all administered cells — from collection and processing through administration and storage — with a structured post-treatment monitoring program that allows for genuinely personalized follow-up care.

Services & Treatments

Collagen Regeneration Treatments

Collagen regeneration treatments at Cellon are designed to stimulate the skin's own production processes at the dermal layer — supporting lasting structural improvement in firmness and elasticity rather than temporary surface correction.

Stem Cell Therapy

Cellon's multi-source stem cell platform draws from adipose tissue, peripheral blood, and bone marrow, selecting the cell type best matched to each patient's profile. All procedures are performed in a Class 10,000 cleanroom sterile facility using single-use extraction kits — eliminating contamination risk at every stage. With over 15 years of clinical data accumulated since 2009, treatment protocols are precise, fully documented, and individually tailored.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

HBOT is integrated into Cellon's regenerative protocols both before and after cell-based procedures. By delivering high-concentration oxygen under increased pressure, it supports cell survival and promotes angiogenesis — the formation of new blood vessels essential for tissue repair — maximizing the conditions in which regenerative treatments perform most effectively.

SELAVE Regenerative Therapy

SELAVE Regenerative Therapy is available at Cellon within its nationally designated regenerative medicine framework, administered under direct physician oversight and within the clinic's certified safety and monitoring systems. Suitability is assessed individually during consultation.

Exosome Therapy

Exosomes are cellular messengers that carry signaling molecules involved in tissue repair and immune regulation. At Cellon, autologous peripheral blood-derived exosome injections support the skin's regenerative environment, encouraging cellular renewal in a targeted and minimally invasive way.

Why Choose Cellon Dermatology for Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine

Government designation. Cellon holds official Advanced Regenerative Medicine Institution status from the Ministry of Health and Welfare — a legally required certification for performing these therapies, and rare at the clinic level.
Safety infrastructure. Class 10,000 sterile facilities, single-use extraction kits, IRB-reviewed protocols, and SOP compliance govern every stage of treatment.
Integrated care design. HBOT is built into treatment protocols. Post-procedure monitoring continues throughout recovery. Results are tracked and care plans adjusted over time — not treated as a single event.
Honest clinical communication. Cellon does not promise single-session results. From the first consultation, patients receive a realistic, stage-based roadmap built around their individual goals and biology.
Certified training hospital. With 5,000+ fat grafting and body contouring cases and certifications in FAMI, High Definition, Zeltiq, and VASER, Cellon operates as a recognized training institution — a marker of sustained clinical standards.

Cellon Dermatology is led by a team of experienced physicians specializing in dermatology, regenerative medicine, and anti-aging treatments.

Dr. Seung-hoon Kang — Founding Director

Dr. Seung-hoon Kang trained at Inje University Paik Hospital and completed a fellowship at the Singapore National Skin Centre. He holds dermatology licenses in South Korea, China, and Vietnam, and is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology. He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Korean Dermatological Association, External Affairs Director of the Korean Anti-Aging Society, and PR Director of the Korean Dermatologic Surgery Society. He holds advisory roles with Korea Neutrogena, L'Oréal La Roche-Posay Korea, and Han-dok Pharmaceuticals, and regularly shares expertise through international academic lectures and live demonstrations.

Dr. Young-hwan Choi

Dr. Choi holds a medical degree from Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine and a PhD in Medical Science from the Samsung Institute for Convergence of Medical Science, with residency and research experience at Samsung Seoul Hospital.

Dr. Hyung-sun Kim — Stem Cell & Anti-Aging Center

Dr. Kim leads Cellon's Stem Cell and Anti-Aging Center. He holds a medical degree from Ewha Womans University Graduate School of Medicine and completed residency at Sinchon Severance Hospital, with an academic foundation in life sciences from Korea University.

International Patients & Global Support

Cellon Dermatology welcomes international patients and provides multilingual support in English, Chinese, and Arabic, with a dedicated foreign patient coordinator available by phone. The clinic is located in Gangnam, Seoul — a well-established destination for international medical travel. Patients from abroad are encouraged to make contact in advance to allow time for consultation, pre-procedure assessment, and treatment planning. The clinic's presence on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X offers international patients an accessible way to learn more about the team's approach before visiting.

Real Patient Journeys

At Cellon, consultations begin not with a treatment plan, but with a question: why. Why does a patient want a particular change? What concerns them, and what outcome would genuinely feel meaningful? Dr. Kang describes this as establishing an aesthetic common ground — a shared understanding between doctor and patient that shapes everything that follows. Patients leave their first appointment with a realistic roadmap, not a list of procedures. For international patients especially, this clarity is essential: it ensures that care can be continued and monitored effectively even after returning home.

What to Expect From Treatment

Consultation: A thorough review of your skin condition, health history, and goals. The team presents a personalized, honest treatment roadmap from the outset.
Treatment planning: The appropriate modality — stem cell therapy, exosomes, SELAVE, HBOT, collagen regeneration, or a combination — is selected based on your clinical profile.
Procedure: Carried out in Cellon's Class 10,000 sterile facility using single-use kits. Duration varies by treatment type.
Post-treatment monitoring: A structured program tracks cellular response, recovery, and tissue regeneration — allowing the care plan to be adapted as your individual response develops.
