Adipose-Derived Stem Cell (SVF) in Seoul, Korea
Adipose-derived SVF (stromal vascular fraction) is a concentrated mix of mesenchymal stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells and growth factors isolated from a small amount of your own fat from the abdomen or thigh. Fat contains a high density of these cells compared with bone marrow.
- Procedure time
- About 1.5–2 hours
- Anesthesia
- Local anesthesia with sedation
- Time in Seoul
- 3–5 days in Seoul
- Recovery
- Usually 2–3 days
Who is Adipose-Derived Stem Cell (SVF) for?
- You want a high-concentration mesenchymal stem cell treatment
- Skin regeneration together with volume and elasticity
- Support for cartilage, joint or soft-tissue recovery
- You are having liposuction and want to use the harvested fat
How Adipose-Derived Stem Cell (SVF) works
Fat is harvested through a tiny incision with fine cannulas. In the lab it is processed to release the SVF, which is then counted and checked for viability before use.
SVF can be injected into the skin, combined with fat grafting, or delivered to joints, depending on the plan.
Regenerative medicine is an evolving field. We explain the current evidence for your specific goal and what the treatment cannot promise.
Our approach to Adipose-Derived Stem Cell (SVF)
High cell yield
Fat tissue is rich in mesenchymal stem cells.
Viability checked
Live cell count and purity are verified before administration.
Flexible use
Skin, fat grafting or joints.
Adipose-Derived Stem Cell (SVF): step by step
- PlanningTarget areas and harvest site are decided.
- Fat harvestA small volume of fat is collected under local anesthesia.
- SVF isolationCells are separated and checked in the in-house lab.
- AdministrationSVF is delivered to the planned areas.
Risks and side effects of Adipose-Derived Stem Cell (SVF)
- Harvest-site discomfortWhere fat is harvested, bruising and tenderness last about 1–2 weeks.
- Injection-site effectsRedness, swelling or small bruises at injection sites usually settle within a few days.
- Variable responseRegenerative treatments do not work the same for everyone, and evidence differs by indication.
All medical procedures carry risks. Your surgeon will review your medical history, explain the risks that apply to you and discuss alternatives before you decide.
Adipose-Derived Stem Cell (SVF) recovery timeline
| When | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Same day | Mild redness, swelling or tenderness at treated points. Most people return to normal activities, and gentle cleansing is fine. |
| Days 1–3 | Any small bumps, pinpoint bruises or redness usually settle. Avoid saunas, intense exercise and alcohol for a few days. |
| Weeks 2–4 | Collagen and tissue responses build gradually; follow-up or top-up sessions are planned around this point if needed. |
| Months 3–6 | Results are reviewed and a maintenance schedule is suggested based on how your skin or tissue responded. |
Aftercare tips
- Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol for 2–3 days.
- Avoid saunas and strenuous exercise for 2–3 days after treatment.
- Tell the doctor about all medicines and supplements, especially blood thinners.
- After fat harvest, wear the compression garment as advised.
- Follow the planned schedule for repeat sessions if one is recommended.
