Is Seoul better than Tokyo for Stem Cell Treatment?
Seoul isn’t “better” than Tokyo for Stem Cell Treatment. Neither city is better than the other, it totally depends on the actual clinic you’re visiting.
Japan as a whole has had more regulations around clinics offering Stem Cell Treatment then South Korea but the medical team and clinic standards matter more than whether a clinic is in Tokyo or Seoul.
If you’re visiting clinics in either city make sure you are:
- Checking their approval status, they should be able to provide certification on their status
- Double check the labs they are working with that will be culturing your cells
- Make sure the medical team is actually experienced treating your condition. For example, is a plastic surgeon treating your osteoarthritis condition?
