How is a full-body treatment different from one done on the face?

The first step is to distinguish systemic administration from treatment of selected body areas, because the route changes what applies. Until the product and route are established, the effects or recovery times of facial treatment cannot simply be carried over. We confirm the product, its Korean regulatory status, the permitted route and the evidence for the intended purpose before any plan is made.

Do I need tests before the treatment?

We go ahead only after we have confirmed your basic state of health and the test results we need. If you have had a medical check-up recently, bringing those results with you is a help. Please tell us about every diagnosed condition, any allergies, the possibility of pregnancy, and all medication and supplements you take.

What side effects are possible?

Even autologous material carries possible contamination, infection, inflammatory or allergic risks during collection, processing, storage and administration. Injection marks, redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness can also occur, and the specific risks depend on the route, which we discuss together with alternatives. Breathing difficulty or a rapid reaction affecting the whole body needs immediate medical care.

How many full-body stem-cell sessions will I need?

There is no universal session count or onset time. How many sessions are considered, and when to review, depends on the evidence for the specific product and route and on your starting condition. Effects or duration that have not been verified cannot be promised, so we set review points rather than fixing a number in advance.

Is there anything I need to be careful about after the treatment?

On the day itself and for a few days afterwards you need to keep an eye on how your body responds. If you notice fever, a rash, shortness of breath or severe fatigue, do not wait; contact us straight away. Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for a few days, and before the treatment we will tell you exactly how to reach us if anything unusual happens.

What should I disclose before Full-body Stem Cell (NovaStem)?

Tell us about pregnancy or breastfeeding, allergies, immune conditions, all the medicines and supplements you take, and any diagnosed illnesses. Active inflammation or infection at a treatment site needs assessment before treatment is scheduled. If you are being treated for a condition, do not stop that treatment on your own; we review it with you first.

Can I have Full-body Stem Cell (NovaStem) during a short trip to Seoul, Korea?

We first check whether assessment and any necessary follow-up fit your stay. Share your arrival, departure and important event dates before booking. For this treatment, the expected course is as follows. Full-body stem-cell consultation first distinguishes systemic administration from treatment of selected body areas. Until the product and route are established, facial-treatment effects or recovery times cannot be carried over. There is no universal onset time or session count. Product-specific evidence and the starting condition guide what to assess and when to review it. Unverified effects or duration cannot be guaranteed. Injection marks, redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness or temporary bumps can occur; recovery varies. Autologous material still carries possible contamination, infection, inflammatory or allergic risks during collection, processing, storage and administration. Discuss route-specific risks and alternatives. Breathing difficulty or a rapid systemic reaction needs immediate medical care; do not independently stop established disease or hair-loss treatment. Examination may lead to postponement or additional visits. Confirm contact arrangements after returning home and when in-person medical care may be needed. What the doctor checks first for this treatment: “What the intravenous material actually is, its regulatory status and evidence, and the risks to the whole body”.

Full-Body Stem Cell Therapyin Gangnam, Seoul

Full-body stem-cell consultation first distinguishes systemic administration from treatment of selected body areas. Until the product and route are established, facial-treatment effects or recovery times cannot be carried over. A proposed cellular or signalling mechanism does not itself establish skin-regeneration or hair-growth benefits for a specific product. Confirm the product, its Korean regulatory status, permitted route and clinical evidence for the intended purpose separately. At QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, consultation helps determine which options suit your concerns.

Anyone who prefers a plan tailored after a medical assessment
