Lydian Cosmetic Surgery Clinic releases an international patient guide comparing stem cell and Rejuran skin rejuvenation treatments in Korea, covering costs, mechanisms, and VAT refund changes for foreign patients.

-- Lydian Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Seoul has published an international patient guide clarifying the differences between stem cell-based treatments and Rejuran, two options frequently confused by patients researching skin rejuvenation from abroad. The guide addresses a gap in understanding that has led some travelers to book procedures without a clear sense of what they will actually receive.

The distinction matters because the term "stem cell facial" is applied loosely within Korean aesthetic practice. It can refer to autologous PRP or PRF therapy, exosome treatments derived from stem cell sources, or true autologous stem cell and SVF protocols that process a patient's own fat tissue. International patients who fail to clarify which category applies to their consultation may end up paying for, or expecting results from, a treatment different than the one described online.
Rejuran Healer, according to the guide, is a polynucleotide injectable derived from salmon DNA rather than a stem cell product. Delivered through micro-injections into the dermis, it supports barrier repair and hydration while stimulating collagen and elastin remodeling over a series of sessions. Stem cell-based approaches work differently: they introduce cell-rich material meant to rebuild tissue from within, targeting deeper structural regeneration and elasticity rather than surface-level texture refinement.
Cost differences between the two categories are substantial. Lydian Clinic reports that Rejuran Healer full-face sessions, using a 2cc protocol, typically run $180 to $330 at standard Gangnam and Myeongdong clinics. Full autologous stem cell or SVF facial packages, by contrast, range from roughly $1,420 for a single-kit protocol up to $3,780 for a four-kit premium program, reflecting the more involved extraction and processing required.
Lydian Clinic states it is registered and approved as a Stem Cell Therapy Clinic in Korea, and Dr. Abraham An, the clinic's director, is recognized as one of the Top 100 Stem Cell Therapy Experts in the World, a credential that positions the clinic to guide patients through the comparison outlined in the new resource.
Patients primarily seeking hydration and improved skin texture may find Rejuran meets their goals with a lower cost and minimal downtime, while those pursuing more pronounced structural anti-aging results, including improved elasticity and deeper tissue regeneration, may find stem cell protocols better suited to their objectives. The 10% VAT refund for foreign cosmetic patients has recently ended, a change international travelers should factor into their cost planning when comparing treatment options.
International patients are invited to review the full comparison and consult Lydian Clinic staff for a recommendation customized to individual skin condition and travel timeline.
