Yaan Clinic Launches Bellecell, a Concentrated Autologous Blood Stem Cell Treatment for Skin Regeneration

Treatments based on stem cells taken from a patient’s own blood are drawing growing interest in the fields of anti-aging and skin regeneration. Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, has launched Bellecell, a concentrated autologous blood stem cell treatment. The launch was reported by Businesskorea on September 19, 2025, in an article that also set out the current limits of this type of treatment.

All treatments at Yaan Clinic are performed by a skilled, specialized medical team, delivering standardized, high-quality care based on the clinic's own proven clinical protocols.

What happened

Yaan Clinic has introduced Bellecell as a new option within its stem cell therapy program. In this treatment, stem cells are extracted from the patient’s own blood and then injected either intravenously or directly into the area the patient wants to improve.

According to the report, the process has several defining features:

• Autologous source: the cells come from the patient’s own blood, which is associated with a low rate of immune-related side effects
• No culturing step: because the cells are not cultured in a lab, the treatment can be performed on the same day
• Lower infection risk: skipping the culturing process is described as reducing the risk of infection

Physicians who have been performing Bellecell since its introduction say that the injection may help with skin firmness, wrinkles and skin tone. Some clinics also use an intravenous form with the aim of anti-aging effects for the whole body.

Why it matters for international patients

For visitors with a limited stay in Seoul, a same-day procedure without a culturing period is a practical point, since there is no need to wait for cells to be prepared before treatment.

At the same time, international patients should approach this area with clear information. The Businesskorea report notes that experts point to several open questions about autologous stem cell treatments:

• Clinical data has not yet been accumulated in sufficient amounts
• Long-term evidence on how long the effects last is still limited
• Results can differ considerably from person to person
• High cost and the possible need for repeat sessions can be a burden

The report also notes that stem cell procedures fall under the regulation of Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and that they should only be performed at medical institutions where safety has been properly verified. Patients considering this treatment should ask about these points directly during their consultation.

About Bellecell

Bellecell is based on the idea of using the body’s own capacity for recovery and regeneration. As described in the report, growth factors and cell-activating substances taken from blood components act on the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin. This is intended to encourage collagen production and support the recovery of aged cells. Stem cells are also described as moving toward tissue where damage or aging is in progress and helping to start the recovery process there.

Interest in this approach continues to spread as a form of anti-aging care that draws on the body’s natural ability to recover, even with the limitations noted above. Each patient’s suitability, the method of injection and the treatment area are decided after a consultation. More information is available on the clinic’s Stem Cell Therapy and Stem Cell Therapy IV pages.

About Yaan Clinic

Yaan Clinic is a dermatology and aesthetic clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, offering lifting, filler, collagen-stimulating, stem cell and body contouring treatments to patients from Korea and abroad.

Commenting on the launch, Yaan Clinic said that Bellecell may help not only with skin firmness and wrinkles but also with the recovery of cells weakened by aging. The clinic also advised patients to “carefully check the type of cells used, the treatment method and how safety is managed,” rather than relying on exaggerated advertising when considering any stem cell treatment.
