Hello.
I am Director Jeong Bo-hwang of Cleor Clinic Gangnam Branch.
Even if health checkup results come back normal,
there are many who feel their physical condition is not what it used to be.
Even after getting enough sleep, you might feel heavy by the afternoon,
and while you take care of your face, areas like the back of your hands or neck
are often overlooked.
The difference between someone who recovers after the same amount of sleep
and someone who does not
depends on how many recovery resources remain within the body.
Today, for those looking into Gangnam Stem Cell Injections,
I will provide an honest explanation of the Novastem system
and the accompanying hand injection package.
Physical condition and skin recovery start from the same root.
Many people view skin and physical condition separately.
However, while speaking with patients in the consultation room,
I often feel that these two areas ultimately stem from the same root.
The period when the rate of new cell production decreases.
As we age, the speed at which new cells are created slows down.
Changes such as the skin surface becoming rough
and recovery after exercise becoming slower both start from this change in speed.
When the vascular and immune environments do not provide support,
no matter how much nutritional supplementation you provide,
if the environment for cells to function is not supported, changes are hardly felt.
Recovery continues stably only when vascular, immune, and cellular activities work together.
An approach of refilling with resources from one's own body.
Novastem
A direction receiving much attention recently
is not about adding external drugs,
but rather separating resources already within your body
and returning them to you.
Gangnam Stem Cell Injection is one of the procedures following this trend.
Summary of Gangnam Stem Cell Injection and the Novastem System
Gangnam Stem Cell Injection involves collecting the patient's blood,
using a separation device called Novastem
👉 to concentrate the stem cell components within the blood,
and is an autologous cell procedure that returns them to your body..
Features of Novastem
It is a separation system known for its 3-stage chamber structure.
It precisely separates and concentrates various cell components from the blood.
No cultivation process is required.
Among stem cell procedures,
there are methods where blood is collected, cultured externally for several days,
and then re-injected.
With Novastem, separation and concentration are completed on the day of blood collection,
so the procedure can be finished on the same day.
Since it involves collecting from and returning to your own body,
concerns about rejection reactions are known to be lower
compared to external drug treatments.
To put it simply, it is similar to taking a seedling grown in your own garden,
moving it briefly, and then replanting it in the same spot.
It means adaptation is relatively smooth because it is a resource that was originally there.
How does it differ from other procedures?
This is a point that those looking into skin care often find confusing.
Difference from general nutritional IV drips
Nutritional IV drips deliver externally produced vitamins and antioxidants
directly into the blood vessels.
Novastem is a completely different direction of treatment
in that it utilizes cell components separated from your own body.
Difference from PRP
PRP is a method that concentrates and utilizes platelets from your own blood.
Novastem differs in that it separates and concentrates a broader range of cell components,
including not only platelets but also stem cells.
Difference from Skin Boosters
Skin boosters like Rejuran or Juvelook
inject external ingredients (PDRN, PDLLA, etc.) into the dermis
to support the collagen environment.
Novastem belongs to a different category of approach
as it utilizes your own cells.
To be honest,
it's not that one is better than the other; the purpose and situation are different.
We will confirm this during the preliminary consultation.
Hand Injection Package Composition
While Gangnam Stem Cell Injection can be performed as a standalone procedure,
many people choose to include hand care.
Why take care of the back of the hands?
While we check our faces in the mirror every day,
the back of the hands is an area that is surprisingly neglected.
It is also a place where signs of aging appear relatively early
due to high UV exposure and frequent irritation from detergents and water.
The fact that the back of the hands is visible during handshakes, weddings, or exchanging business cards
is also a factor that causes concern.
Post-Procedure Precautions
Please avoid alcohol and smoking for about 2 weeks after the procedure.
It is recommended to refrain as it can affect the recovery speed.
Please avoid taking steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal medicine for about 2 weeks after the procedure.
It is also recommended to avoid applying pain relief patches during the same period.
If you are taking any medication, please inform us during the preliminary consultation.
Please postpone saunas, jjimjilbangs, and strenuous exercise for a few days immediately after the procedure.
An increase in body temperature can prolong irritation at the treatment site.
Please reduce UV exposure to the hand injection site.
Apply sunscreen thoroughly when going out.
Avoid using strong detergents or friction for a few days.
Information to Provide in Advance
If you are taking aspirin-based anticoagulants,
if you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease,
or if you have a history of cancer, please inform us during the preliminary consultation.
Procedures may also be difficult during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so we check this in advance during the consultation.
Recommended for:
Those whose condition does not recover even after sufficient sleep.
Those who do not feel much change with nutritional supplements alone.
Those who manage their face but also want to take care of the back of their hands.
Those who prefer procedures utilizing their own resources over external drugs.
Those looking for procedures with low concerns about rejection reactions.
Those who want to receive both IV care and hand care in a single visit.
Cases that must be checked during the preliminary consultation:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.
If you have a history of cancer.
If you are regularly taking anticoagulants.
If you have been diagnosed with a blood-related disease.
If there is inflammation or a skin disease at the treatment site.
Depending on the skin condition and medication history,
the procedure may not be suitable, which we will confirm during the preliminary consultation.
Advantages of Gangnam Stem Cell Injection Novastem
👉It is an autologous cell procedure utilizing your own blood.
It is known to haverelatively low concerns about rejection reactions.
The procedure is completed on the day of blood collection without a cultivation process.
A package composition that allows for both IV care and hand care at once is available.
The recovery burden is relatively low.
We also point out the limitations.
Autologous cell procedures are treatments where
the range of change varies greatly depending on individual blood status and recovery environment.
Even with the same package, results can vary from person to person.
It is a procedure where it is difficult to generalize the results of a single treatment.
If you have underlying diseases or are taking medication,
the procedure itself may not be suitable.
It is not a procedure that replaces nutritional supplementation or dietary management,
so it should be combined with basic lifestyle management
to expect long-term changes.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Since it's my own blood, are there really no side effects?
Concerns about rejection reactions are known to be lower than with general drug treatments.
However, it cannot be concluded that there are no side effects at all.
Bruising, swelling, pain, and temporary redness at the blood collection and treatment sites
may occur, and we first check the feasibility of the procedure
through a preliminary consultation and blood item check.
Q. Can I feel the change after just one treatment?
Some people do feel a change in their condition after the procedure.
However, autologous cell procedures are treatments where
the range of results varies depending on individual blood status and recovery environment.
We inform you in advance that it is difficult to guarantee uniform results.
Q. How much pain is involved in the hand treatment?
The procedure is performed while reducing irritation with anesthetic cream or cooling treatment.
The back of the hand is an area where
perceived pain varies from person to person due to thin skin and nerve distribution.
Q. Can I receive it on the same day as other injections or lasers?
Rather than proceeding on the same day,
it is generally recommended to leave an interval of a few days.
We will organize and guide you through the schedule during the consultation.
Q. What is the recommended frequency for the treatment?
The recommended cycle varies depending on the patient's condition and the purpose of the treatment.
It is difficult to set a uniform period,
so we will discuss this during the preliminary consultation.
Gangnam Stem Cell Injection Novastem
is a procedure that utilizes autologous cell components separated from your own blood
back for yourself.
The accompanying hand injection, plasma cryo-permeation, and sheet mask composition
is a package that supports the care of the skin surface and the back of the hands.
For those who want to improve both their skin and physical condition simultaneously,
this serves as an option to consider.
However, as with all procedures,
results vary depending on individual conditions,
and it is a procedure where the decision to proceed
is made through a preliminary consultation and blood item check.
We will confirm this directly during the consultation.
