OLACELL Stem Cell Skin Injection
OLACELL is Violacell's signature regenerative skin injection. It combines a skin booster with PRP and stem cells taken from your own blood, and is injected into the dermis to support hydration, collagen production and elasticity. It takes about 10–20 minutes, and most people return to normal activities the same day.
What is OLACELL Stem Cell Skin Injection?
OLACELL (올라셀) was developed in-house at Violacell Plastic Surgery in Sinsa-dong, Seoul. Rather than simply adding volume, it is designed to improve the skin's own condition: a proprietary combination of skin-booster ingredients is mixed with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and blood-derived stem cells prepared from a small sample of your blood.
It is most often chosen by patients whose main concern is skin quality — thinning, dryness, loss of bounce and fine lines — rather than deep sagging. It can be combined with lifting devices as OLACELL Lifting.

How it works
A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets and cells. This is combined with the booster formula and injected into the dermis with fine needles or a microinjector. The goal is to support the skin's repair environment, moisture retention and collagen production over the following weeks.
Who it is for
- Thin, dry or dehydrated skin that looks tired
- Early loss of elasticity and fine lines
- Rough texture and dullness
- People who want natural skin improvement rather than visible volume
Results and how long they last
Skin-quality treatments work gradually. Many patients notice improved hydration within the first weeks, while collagen-related changes build over 1–3 months. Results vary by age, skin condition and lifestyle, and are not permanent; maintenance sessions are usually recommended.
Risks, recovery and aftercare
Temporary redness, small bumps, pinpoint bleeding and bruising at injection points are common and usually settle within a few days. Avoid alcohol, saunas and strong massage for several days. Tell your doctor about blood thinners, pregnancy, active skin infection or autoimmune conditions. All injections carry a small risk of infection.
Frequently asked questions
Is OLACELL the same as a stem cell culture treatment?
No. OLACELL uses cells and plasma prepared from your own blood on the same day, without laboratory culturing.
How is OLACELL different from Rejuran?
Rejuran is a polynucleotide (PN) booster. OLACELL combines a booster with your own PRP and blood-derived cells. See OLACELL vs Rejuran.
Can I fly home after OLACELL?
Most people can travel the next day. Injection marks may still be visible for 1–2 days.
Who performs the treatment?
Treatments are performed by Violacell physicians after an in-person consultation.
