Along with specialization of facial contour, Stem cell therapy is leading
I met Park Jung-geun, director of Face Plus Plastic Surgery, a hospital that is plastic surgery but thinks about the inside of the body, not just surgical surgery. It refers to a way to maintain a healthy body for a long time beyond simply creating beauty through surgical operations through non-surgical anti-aging clinics such as blood purification and stem cell therapy.
Q. Park Bo-hyun, CEO of B&H Korea (hereinafter referred to as Park Bo-hyun): What is the difference between the director's introduction and faceplus plastic surgery?
A. Face Plus Plastic Surgery Director Park Jeong-geun (hereinafter referred to as Park Jeong-geun): Plastic surgery is often divided into three categories: face plastic surgery, bone surgery, and chest surgery, and I am mainly in charge of facial contour surgery. As a plastic surgeon, we conduct many surgeries, but we are also conducting anti-aging programs that can be carried out together other than surgery.
Face Plus Plastic Surgery, which opened in 2010, has the strength of specializing in non-surgical management programs by focusing on anti-aging beyond existing surgical treatments as well as natural surgical procedures. Anti-aging includes surgery to correct sagging faces and eyes, but the hospital is set up with interest in blood purification, stem cell therapy, and injection therapy, which are non-surgical treatments by diagnosing the inside of the body.
Q. Park Bo-hyun: The concept of preventive treatment, not post-disease treatment, can be seen as a concept of preventing aging before it accelerates. In terms of "anti-aging," I think men as well as women will be interested.
A. Park Jung-geun: I think women will be interested in plastic surgery, but there are not many women in particular. In particular, many men are treated for anti-aging programs. You can visit and get an anti-aging clinic when you're weak, as if you're treating a disease, but in reality, it's better to have a checkup when your body's fat cells are healthy.
In other words, anti-aging is a program to make a healthy body as healthy as possible and last a healthy period of time. The easiest approach is the Chelation Therapy injection therapy, and there is a program that allows you to proceed with various vitamins and minerals cost-free and time-free.
Q. Park Bo-hyun: What is the effect of the "blood purification" program that purifies blood in terms of anti-aging and how often does the procedure take place?
A. Park Jeong-geun: There are various equipment for blood purification, and there are several kinds of programs. Some simply filter the blood and put clean blood, but we proceed by making healthy blood through special treatments such as ultraviolet rays and oxygen and putting it back into the blood.
In general, the expected fatigue recovery, strengthening blood circulation, and strengthening immunity have clear effects, and the program is organized to strengthen the necessary parts after the test to balance the body as a whole. Blood purification can be carried out in a single procedure, but it can be doubled in parallel with stem cell procedures and other procedures.
The cycle of the procedure is determined by considering the time and economic aspects through consultation, and usually, about 300cc of blood is performed 5 to 10 times. In some cases, it is conveniently conducted 2-3 times during other clinics such as stem cell therapy.
Q. Park Bo-hyun: Stem cell therapy is conducted in many hospitals, but it is difficult to know what treatment it is. There is even a story that stem cell therapy is received overseas because it is illegal in Korea. Please explain the program using stem cells that are currently being conducted on Face Plus.
A. Park Jung-geun: Stem cells are collected and administered from fat or bone marrow. In Korea, there is no problem with administering collected stem cells, but it cannot be cultivated and used to increase the number of cells. Because of that, there are often people who are treated abroad.
Although it all goes well within the legal boundaries, a typical hospital only talks about the number of stem cells. But getting quality stem cells is one of the key. The qualitative part is which personnel extract and inject where and how. Therefore, even if it is the same treatment, it cannot be compared together.
Q. Park Bo-hyun: So Face Plus plastic surgery is differentiated from machines and professionals. I wonder if there are any other effective ways to treat stem cells.
A. Park Jung-geun: Yes, it is important to extract and perform procedures with a doctor who is an expert in this field and has a lot of experience, and in the process, quality control is responsible for using more than a certain size or disposing of poor quality cells.
Even under the same conditions, the results vary depending on the patient's physical condition, so it is recommended that the patient make the best physical condition before the procedure, and in this process, clinics such as blood purification are conducted in parallel. We recommend that you prepare to keep your overall health balance young and healthy before much of aging progresses.
