Storing your cells

The clinic’s English materials describe Cell Banking, where cells from your fat are frozen and stored with Monit Cell, a cell storage company, with a first re-injection included, and Re·Cell, where stored cells are retrieved and used later.

Before stored cells are used again, ask what is done to them: thawed and injected, or processed or cultured first. The answer changes which Korean rules apply.
  • How long are cells stored, and at what yearly cost?
  • What happens if I do not come back?
  • Who can access my stored cells?

Questions

Is stem cell therapy legal in Korea?

Since 21 February 2025, Korea allows advanced regenerative therapy only at institutions designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, under a treatment plan approved by a review committee, for patients defined by the law. Purely cosmetic use is not among them. Ask the clinic which legal route applies to what it offers you.
