Gwangjin Stem Cell Therapy to Slow Neurodegeneration: Treatments Announced
Oct 26, 2026
Lydian Cosmetic Surgery Clinic announces stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative conditions, offering regenerative support alongside existing care for patients across Seoul.
Seoul, Korea, Republic of, October 26, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Lydian Cosmetic Surgery Clinic recently announced stem cell therapy options for individuals facing neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's, ALS and Parkinson's, now available to patients in the Gwangjin area of Seoul. These treatments represent an expansion of the clinic's regenerative medicine offerings for people seeking support alongside existing care.

The announcement comes as research points to stem cell therapy as a promising direction for neurodegenerative conditions because of its potential to support the repair of damaged tissue, rather than simply slowing further decline. Lydian's clinical team explains that this distinction matters to patients and caregivers who have long faced treatment options aimed only at managing symptoms.
One active line of research uses stem cells as delivery vehicles for neuroprotective proteins that cannot otherwise cross the blood-brain barrier. In a Phase 1/2a clinical trial published in Nature Medicine in 2022, researchers at Cedars-Sinai transplanted stem cells engineered to release GDNF, a protein that helps motor neurons survive, into the spinal cords of 18 people with ALS. The procedure was found to be generally safe, and the transplanted cells survived and kept producing GDNF for more than three years.
This broader scientific context informs the therapeutic approach Lydian Cosmetic Surgery Clinic brings to patients in Gwangjin. "Stem cell therapy is not a cure, but patients often notice improvements in quality of life and symptom management," says a clinic spokesperson.
Under the direction of Dr. Abraham An, the clinic has built a practice centered on regenerative medicine and protocols for symptom relief. The team works with each patient to develop a holistic, personalized care plan that incorporates supplementary modalities alongside stem cell therapy; individualized plans may include laser treatment, physiotherapy and nutritional support.
Stem cell therapy costs vary depending on treatment type, number of sessions and clinic, the spokesperson explains. A single session costs between $3,500 and $5,000, while multi-session programs are priced between $8,000 and $15,000. Package programs are available to optimize patient outcomes while making long-term treatment more accessible and manageable.
All treatments are administered within a Class 10,000 clean environment in Seoul's Gangnam district, designed to maintain safety and precision during procedures. The clinic offers international patient support with English-speaking coordinators.
