Bio-Cell for Calming, Regeneration and Lifting

The facial contour sags, pores stretch, the jaw thickens and the complexion turns dull. Melasma and dark spots linger in patches, breakouts keep appearing around the mouth and jaw even at an older age, and marks remain even after the breakouts calm down. Nasolabial folds, frown lines and crow's feet deepen, menopausal hot flashes dry out the skin, and redness gets worse. In the clinic we often hear concerns like these: expensive cosmetics do not seem to work, aggressive treatments or fillers feel like too much, and pigmentation comes back as soon as toning sessions stop. Lee Yoo-jin, Medical Director of Saeron Korean Medicine Hospital, explains Bio-Cell, which she has been performing since 2013, in terms of three goals: calming, regeneration and lifting.

On January 24, 2026, Saeron Korean Medicine Hospital held a lecture on Bio-Cell theory, clinical practice and hands-on training for Korean medicine doctors.

How does Bio-Cell work?

Bio-Cell is a treatment that introduces a fine needle-shaped component called Silitox into the skin. Inside the skin, Silitox has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-aging actions, which help suppress acne and inflammation.

When skinboosters containing exosomes, PDRN or hyaluronic acid are combined with it, the calming and regenerating actions boost each other. The changes expected from this combination include softer wrinkles, lifting, a stronger skin barrier, lighter melasma, improved skin tone, refined contours, reduced swelling, improved turnover of the outer skin layer, improved pores, and softened acne marks and scars. The degree of improvement varies with skin condition.

Care that puts calming and recovery first

Medical Director Lee Yoo-jin has continued clinical practice and self-treatment since 2013 while monitoring the stability of Bio-Cell. Bio-Cell is care centered on calming and recovery, to the extent that it can be applied, while monitoring the skin's condition, even to skin made sensitive by laser treatment or skin with an allergic flare-up.

What treatments can it be combined with?

The type of skinbooster is chosen from exosome, PDRN and hyaluronic acid after a consultation with the doctor in charge, based on the patient's skin condition and overall condition. Depending on which skin layer is targeted and what the goal is, Bio-Cell can also be combined with the following treatments.

• Pico Fraxel laser, Genesis Toning laser
• K-Onda Micro Lifting laser (Signature Micro Lifting), Puracel
• Saesal Acupuncture, Jeongan Facial Acupuncture, Mizuan PN, pharmacopuncture, Thread Lifting

For an asymmetric face, Chuna therapy first

If your face is noticeably asymmetric from side to side, or you have a square jaw from developed masseter muscles or a peanut-shaped face with prominent cheekbones, you may first go through facial myofascial release Chuna therapy to correct the asymmetry and refine the contours. After the facial lines have been softened, following up with Bio-Cell and Jeongan Facial Acupuncture can be expected to let the two treatments complement each other.

Calming care after treatment: LDM and Brain Therapy

After Bio-Cell treatment, LDM care or Brain Therapy is sometimes added for calming, relieving heat and reducing swelling. Brain Therapy is a type of aroma lymphatic therapy that cools the scalp and supports lymphatic circulation, and it is especially popular among inpatients at Saeron Korean Medicine Hospital. By easing heat in the head and face, it may help relieve redness, headaches, neck and shoulder stiffness, swelling and insomnia, and it is a comfortable treatment in which tension melts away and sleep comes amid the aroma. It is also a treatment that Medical Director Lee Yoo-jin herself often receives when stress and tension run high.

Skinboosters alone versus combined with Bio-Cell

Saeron Korean Medicine Hospital also frequently performs skinbooster treatment on its own to keep the skin healthy. Even with the same skinbooster, combining it with Bio-Cell lets you aim for lifting and refined contours in addition to the skinbooster's original effects.

For those whose double eyelid surgery has left uneven scars so the line is not smooth, or whose eyes look awkward when open because of swelling around the double eyelid line, Bio-Cell may also help reduce swelling, refine the line and soften scars.

Summary

• Bio-Cell is a treatment that combines the Silitox needle component with skinboosters to aim for calming, regeneration and lifting together.
• The type of skinbooster and any combination treatments are decided after a consultation, according to skin condition and goals.
• Any treatment can cause side effects such as pain, swelling or inflammation depending on the person, so it should be done after a thorough consultation with the medical team.
