Quick Intro

VEI Clinic Apgujeong is an English-friendly internal-medicine clinic in Gangnam. We do not perform stem cell injections in-clinic. Instead, we provide evidence-based counseling, eligibility screening, and referrals to appropriate hospital-based programs or clinical trials when indicated. We’re on the 3rd floor of Beneheim City, 162 Apgujeong-ro, a short walk from Apgujeong Station (Exit 5).

What We Offer (responsible, regulation-aware)

  • Indication review & second opinions
    Clarify if your condition has a         recognized standard-of-care therapy (e.g., hematology transplant programs) versus experimental/regenerative options.
  • Medical screening before referral
    Focused history/exam;         baseline labs (CBC, CMP, coagulation, infectious screening as needed); medication & supplement review; imaging referrals if required.
  • Referral navigation
    When appropriate, we refer to         tertiary hospitals/approved centers or provide documentation if you’re pursuing a clinical trial (Korea or abroad).
  • Risk/benefit & expectation setting
    Transparent discussion about         what is known/unknown, potential adverse effects, and costs & logistics. We avoid hype and misleading marketing.
  • Aftercare & general health optimization
    Vaccination review, infection risk counseling, travel planning, nutrition and sleep support, and coordination with your specialist team.
If a therapy is unapproved or unsafe, we’ll say so clearly and help you pursue safer, evidence-based alternatives.

Where Stem Cell Therapies Are Established vs. Investigational

More established (hospital-based):

  • Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for certain blood cancers and marrow failure syndromes—done in specialized hospitals with strict protocols.

Common areas under study / limited evidence (ask us first):

  • Orthopedic injections for joints/tendons
  • Neurologic and cardiometabolic conditions
  • Aesthetic/anti-aging indications

If your interest is in an investigational use, we’ll focus on safety, regulation, realistic outcomes, and legitimate trial options (if any).

Safety & Boundaries (please read)

  • We do not sell “stem cell shots,” unproven exosome products, or cord-blood injections for general wellness.
  • Any stem-cell–related care must follow hospital protocols, with informed consent and monitoring.
  • Beware of medical tourism advertising guaranteed results—results are not guaranteed and risks can be serious (infection, immune reactions, clots, tumor risk in some settings).
  • Red-flag symptoms (severe chest pain, shortness of breath, stroke signs, high fever after a procedure) require emergency care.

Visit Flow (Typically 40–70 Minutes)

  • Medication & supplement list (exact doses)

FAQs

Do you perform stem cell injections in-clinic?
No. We provide counseling, screening, and referrals to qualified hospital programs or clinical trials when appropriate.

Can you tell me if I’m a candidate?
We’ll review your diagnosis, prior treatments, comorbidities, and lab/imaging results to advise if a legitimate program exists and what prerequisites you’ll need.

What about exosomes/“anti-aging” stem cell drips?
We do not offer or endorse unproven products. We’ll explain risks, regulatory status, and lack of proven benefit for many marketed “longevity” injections.

Can you coordinate with my home-country specialist?
Yes. We can provide English summaries, share labs, and coordinate plans and follow-up.

How long will it take to get into a hospital program?
Timing depends on hospital capacity, your diagnosis, and required workup. We’ll help you submit a complete referral packet to reduce delays.
