Treatment Overview
Body Stem Cell Therapy is an advanced regenerative dermatology treatment that uses stem cells or stem cell-derived growth factors to rejuvenate and tighten loose skin. By delivering powerful bioactive signals, stem cell therapy stimulates fibroblasts, collagen, and elastin production, while repairing cellular damage at the dermal level.
In Korean dermatology clinics, stem cell therapy is often performed using adipose-derived stem cells, exosomes, or cultured growth factors, either injected directly into the skin or combined with boosters, PRP, or laser treatments. It is especially popular for improving crepey or sagging skin on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and knees, as well as for patients looking for a premium anti-aging body treatment.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Tightening: Promotes new collagen and elastin for firmer skin.
- Cellular Regeneration: Repairs damaged dermal structures at the root.
- Improved Elasticity: Strengthens thin, crepey, or sagging areas.
- Long-Term Anti-Aging: Slows skin aging by enhancing cellular repair.
- Combination Benefits: Works synergistically with HIFU, RF, or laser treatments.

- Adults with moderate to severe body skin laxity.
- Patients with crepey, thin, or wrinkled skin post-pregnancy or weight loss.
- Individuals seeking long-lasting regenerative tightening.
- Patients who want premium, cutting-edge treatments beyond standard boosters.
- Those combining stem cells with exosomes, RF, or HIFU for enhanced results.
Possible Risks & Complications
