We currently list 8 clinics in South Korea. None have been through our verification checks yet, so treat everything on their profiles as clinic-supplied for now. 5 carry published patient reviews.

Between them they list Autologous (own-cell) Therapy, Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) Therapy, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Regenerative Orthopedics, Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Therapy and 7 more. Patients most often approach them about Back & Spine, Joint Pain, Knee Osteoarthritis, Rotator Cuff / Shoulder and 14 more. The cheapest published starting price in South Korea is ₩110,000. What you are actually quoted depends on the condition, the protocol, and how many sessions it takes.

Staff across these clinics are listed as speaking Korean, English, Russian, Mongolian and Chinese. Worth checking before you fly that someone who speaks your language will be in the room for the consultation and the consent conversation, and not just on reception.

What to check before treatment in South Korea

Countries differ on how much may be done to cells before they go back in, which is why a protocol you can get in one place is unavailable in another. A clinic operating legally where it is has satisfied that country's regulator. That is all it tells you. None of it is evidence the treatment works, so the checking a domestic approval process would have done falls to you instead.

Which regulator oversees the clinic in South Korea, and what does that oversight cover?

Where do the cells come from, are they expanded in a lab, and which lab handles them? Ask for the lab's certifications, not only the clinic's.

Who performs the procedure, what are they licensed to do in South Korea, and will you speak to them before the day?

What does the quote cover? Consultation, imaging, the procedure, follow-up doses and accommodation are often priced separately.

If a complication develops after you fly home, who is responsible and what recourse do you have?

Run the answers past a doctor who knows your history before you commit. You can also read how we rank and verify clinics, compare with other destinations, or narrow by treatment or condition. None of this is medical advice, and a listing is not an endorsement.
