Stem Cell Skin Injections in Seongsu, Seoul

What HMPF stem-cell-culture injections are, and what they are not, at Seongsu Melting Clinic

Medically reviewed by Dr. Park Kyung-min, MD, PhD, Medical Director of Seongsu Melting Clinic · Board-certified in Family Medicine · Last reviewed September 2026

Many people come to Korea looking for stem cell therapy. At Seongsu Melting Clinic in Seongsu, Seoul, we offer stem cell skin injections using HMPF, and we want to be completely clear about what that means. This is a cosmetic skin treatment. It is not stem cell transplantation, and it is not a treatment for any disease.

What are stem cell skin injections?

HMPF is derived from human adipose (fat) stem-cell culture. When stem cells are grown in a lab, they release growth factors and other signaling substances into the culture medium. Products like HMPF are made from that culture, not from living stem cells placed into your body. Injected into the skin, these ingredients are intended to support the skin's own repair and renewal processes.

Because no living stem cells are transplanted, this treatment will not regrow tissue, cure a condition, or act like the regenerative therapies you may read about in medical research news.

A general note on regulation

In Korea, as in many countries, therapies that use living stem cells to treat disease are tightly regulated and are generally limited to approved products and settings. Cosmetic skin injections derived from stem-cell culture are a different category. If a clinic anywhere offers to treat a disease with stem cells, we suggest asking carefully about approvals and evidence. We only offer HMPF as a cosmetic skin treatment.

How we use HMPF at Seongsu Melting Clinic

Dr. Park Kyung-min uses HMPF for skin-quality goals: fine wrinkles, uneven tone, slow healing, acne scars, and skin prone to inflammation. It is often considered alongside our other regenerative options, such as the Rejuran and Plamon regeneration recipe, ASCE exosome, or Juvelook, depending on what your skin needs most.

A good fit if…

  • You want gradual improvement in skin texture, tone, or fine lines.
  • Your skin is slow to recover or prone to irritation.
  • You understand this is a cosmetic treatment with results that vary.

Consider something else if…

  • You are seeking treatment for a medical condition, joint problem, or disease.
  • You expect a lift or volume change; that needs lifting devices, fillers, or collagen boosters.
  • You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an active infection in the area.

What to expect

At consultation, Dr. Park examines your skin, explains whether HMPF is a sensible choice, and discusses pricing. The treatment is similar to other skin booster injections: numbing cream is often applied first, and the session takes around 30 minutes. Small bumps, redness, or bruising can appear and usually settle within a few days. A short series is typical, with change building gradually.

Aftercare

  • Avoid makeup on injection points for the rest of the day.
  • Skip saunas, alcohol, and intense exercise on treatment day.
  • Keep skin moisturized and use sunscreen daily.
  • Message us if you notice increasing pain, heat, or swelling.

A note from Dr. Park

Dr. Park believes honesty matters most where marketing is loudest. He keeps his research and practice connected, explains before treating exactly what a product is designed to do, and tells patients plainly when their goals need a different treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Does HMPF contain living stem cells?

No. It is derived from stem-cell culture. No living stem cells are transplanted into your skin.

Can it treat a medical condition?

No. We use HMPF only as a cosmetic skin treatment for skin quality concerns.

How is it different from Rejuran or exosome?

Each works differently. Rejuran is polynucleotide-based, exosome comes from stem-cell culture in a different form, and HMPF is another culture-derived option. Dr. Park chooses based on your skin.
