How does your clinic assess eligibility for stem cell therapy, and are there any specific medical evaluations or tests required before starting treatment?

At Dekabi Clinic, assessing eligibility for stem cell therapy involves a comprehensive evaluation process tailored to each patient’s unique health profile. Led by Dr. Eun Young Baek, a distinguished plastic surgeon with over 34 years of experience and a pioneer in stem cell therapy in Korea, the clinic emphasizes personalized care to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.​

Initial Consultation: The process begins with an in-depth consultation where Dr. Baek reviews the patient’s medical history, current health status, and specific concerns. This dialogue helps identify potential indications for stem cell therapy and sets the foundation for a customized treatment plan.

Medical Evaluations and Tests: To determine suitability for stem cell therapy, patients may undergo several medical evaluations, including:​

  • Blood Tests: Assess overall health and detect any underlying conditions.​Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center+1CloudHospital Inc.+1
  • Imaging Studies: Such as MRI or CT scans, to evaluate the affected areas.​
  • Cardiac Assessments: Ensure the heart can withstand the treatment process.​
  • Pulmonary Function Tests: Evaluate lung health, especially if anesthesia is required.​

These evaluations align with standard practices in stem cell therapy preparation, as seen in leading medical institutions. ​

Stem Cell Sourcing: Dekabi Clinic utilizes autologous stem cells, meaning they are harvested from the patient’s own body, typically from adipose (fat) tissue. This approach minimizes the risk of immune rejection and enhances compatibility. ​CloudHospital Inc.+1Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center+1

This personalized approach ensures that each patient receives the most appropriate and effective therapy.
