NK Cell Immunotherapy in Seoul, Korea
NK (natural killer) cell immunotherapy collects NK cells — a key part of innate immunity — from your own blood, activates them in the in-house lab and returns them by IV as a six-week program. NK cell activity is tested before and after. It is used alongside, not instead of, standard medical treatment.
- Procedure time

Who is NK Cell Immunotherapy for?
- You are concerned about lowered immunity around cancer surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy (with your oncologist's knowledge)
- Frequent infections, shingles or chronic fatigue
- You want measurable immune monitoring with NK activity tests
How NK Cell Immunotherapy works
The six-week cycle consists of 4 NK cell infusions, 2 immune-activation injections, 4 NK secretome treatments and 6 sessions of magnetic thermal therapy.
NK cell activity is measured in week 1 and week 6 to track change. This program does not replace cancer treatment, and we ask patients under oncology care to inform their treating doctor.

NK Cell Immunotherapy 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.
