Stem Cell Cartilage Reprai in Seoul   

Overview

For patients with early–moderate cartilage wear or post-injury joint pain, Nucellin Stem Cell Clinic provides a non-surgical cartilage repair program. We combine cell-free, stem-cell–derived components (exosome/growth-factor complexes) with ultrasound-guided intra-/peri-articular injections and a joint-specific rehabilitation plan to calm inflammation, support cartilage health, and improve mobility—without surgery or long downtime.


Regulatory note: All biologics are cell-free (no live stem cells). Product/device selection follows Korean regulations and physician judgment.

Ideal Candidates

  • Knee/hip osteoarthritis grades I–II (early–moderate)
  • Cartilage thinning in ankle, shoulder, or wrist
  • Post-traumatic chondral injury after sports or overuse
  • Persistent joint discomfort when conservative care has plateaued
Not intended for end-stage arthritis or severe deformity requiring surgical replacement.

How It Works (Clinic Protocol)

  1. Orthopedic Consult & Imaging – targeted exam with ultrasound ± X-ray/MRI to confirm grade and pain generators.
  2. Personalized Regenerative Plan – choose exosome/growth-factor complex; select intra-articular (inside joint) or pericapsular (around soft tissue) delivery.
  3. Guided Micro-Injections – low-volume deposits under ultrasound to modulate inflammation and signal tissue remodeling.
  4. Rehab Integration – phased physio (isometrics → strength → proprioception/neuromuscular control) plus load management.
  5. Review & Boosters – reassess at 4–6 weeks; repeat session if indicated.

Treatment Options

  • Ultrasound-Guided Intra-Articular Regeneration – knee, shoulder, ankle, hip
  • Peri-Ligament/Peri-Tendon Support – when capsule/entheses contribute to pain
  • Staged Combinations (When Indicated): add PRP, hyaluronic acid, or shockwave in separate visits
  • Adjuncts: bracing, orthotics, gait/form tweaks, weight and activity planning

Time & Downtime

  • Clinic time: ~40–60 minutes (includes ultrasound guidance)
  • After: relative rest 48–72 hrs; gentle range encouraged
  • Series: typically 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
  • Rehab: 6–10+ weeks progressive program; activity phased by milestones

Expected Benefits

  • Reduced pain, stiffness, and swelling over weeks
  • Improved range of motion, strength, and function
  • Support for cartilage and periarticular tissue during loading
  • Functional gains typically build over 6–12+ weeks

Pricing (Guide)

  • Ultrasound-guided joint regenerative injection (single joint): ₩550,000–₩950,000 / session
  • Staged combo (PRP/HA or multiple sites): Custom quotation
  • Physiotherapy packages: Available on request
    Final quote after imaging review and plan selection.

What To Expect On Treatment Day

  • Ultrasound mapping → skin prep → guided micro-injections
  • Optional local anesthetic; short observation
  • Go home with RICE guidance and your Phase-1 rehab plan

Aftercare

  • 48–72 hrs: limit heavy impact; ice as needed; avoid NSAIDs for several days unless prescribed
  • Begin gentle range-of-motion; progress to strengthening per plan
  • Prioritize sleep, hydration, protein and vitamin C intake

Safety & Suitability

  • Not suitable with active joint infection, fracture, severe deformity, uncontrolled inflammatory arthritis flare, or pregnancy (for injections)
  • Caution with anticoagulants, uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune flares
  • All injections performed under ultrasound for accuracy and safety

FAQ

Is this a replacement for joint replacement surgery?
Not for advanced arthritis. For early–moderate degeneration, regenerative + rehab may reduce pain and improve function without surgery.

How many sessions will I need?
Most patients see progress with 2–3 sessions plus a 6–10 week rehab program.

Are these live stem cells?
No. We use cell-free, stem-cell–inspired components (exosomes/growth factors) compliant with Korean regulations.

Can I combine this with PRP or hyaluronic acid?
Yes—often staged for synergy. Your physician will recommend timing.
