1. What Is HemaPure? — A Procedure That Purifies and Reapplies Your Own Blood


*HemaPure** is a procedure in which a measured volume of the patient's own blood is drawn, processed through a **purification step**, and then reapplied to the body.

How It Works

The key principle is that **your own blood is used throughout**. Rather than introducing external drugs or synthetic substances, the procedure draws your blood, passes it through a purification process, and then reapplies it. Because autologous components are used, the risk of adverse reactions is relatively low.

HemaPure follows these steps:

1. **Blood draw** — A measured volume of blood is collected in a controlled environment 2. **Purification processing** — Medical equipment is used to separate and process blood components 3. **Reapplication** — The processed blood is reapplied to the body

Through this process, the procedure aims to **purify certain components within the blood**. *(Suitability and outcomes may vary depending on individual health status.)*

**💡 Fact Check** > > - HemaPure is a **procedure based on blood purification principles**, and these principles are applied in various forms across the medical field > - Because autologous blood is used, it is **generally associated with a relatively lower risk of adverse reactions** > - Whether HemaPure is suitable for you and what outcomes you might expect **requires an individualized assessment through specialist consultation** > - Equipment names, manufacturers, and certification details can be confirmed during your consultation

2. Three Key Differentiators of HemaPure

01. Autologous Blood-Based Approach

Instead of external drugs or synthetic substances, this procedure purifies and applies your own blood. A notable feature is the relatively lower risk of adverse reactions, since autologous components are used.

→ *From the patient's perspective, the concept of "receiving back what came from my own body" is intuitively understandable, which tends to make the procedure feel less unfamiliar.*

02. Blood Purification Principles

HemaPure is designed around blood purification principles. Because the procedure directly handles blood, **a thorough pre-treatment health assessment and a safe clinical environment** are paramount.

→ *That's why at Cellinique, Dr. Kim Gun-woo personally manages everything from the initial consultation through the procedure itself.*

03. Holistic Wellness Approach

HemaPure is utilized as **one component of a comprehensive wellness management strategy**. It is administered from a perspective that considers overall well-being, not just the skin's surface.

→ *This is a procedure worth exploring when you feel that "a more fundamental approach might be needed." That said, suitability must always be evaluated beforehand.*

6. Downtime and Recovery

This is one of the most common questions from first-time patients. In most cases, you can return to your daily routine on the same day. However, temporary fatigue or dizziness may occur immediately after the procedure, so we recommend staying for **20–30 minutes of post-procedure monitoring** before heading home.

*Within 24 hours after treatment** - Stay well hydrated - Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine - Avoid strenuous exercise and saunas - If you notice any changes in how you feel, please don't hesitate to contact Cellinique

*First week after treatment** - Maintain a balanced diet and regular sleep schedule - Light exercise is fine - Keep the treatment site (blood draw area) clean

*Until your next session** - Maintain your normal daily routine - Contact us for a check-up if you notice any changes in your condition

💡 *Some first-time patients have mentioned experiencing "a bit of fatigue right after the procedure, but recovering by the next day." However, recovery patterns vary from person to person, so if you notice any changes, please feel free to reach out to Cellinique.*

7. Side Effects and Precautions

⚠️ **General Safety Standards**: Side effects, emergency protocols, contraindications, and infection control measures that apply to all procedures are detailed on the [Cellinique Treatment Safety Information](/en/safety) page. This section covers considerations specific to this procedure.

This is important because HemaPure directly involves handling your own blood, making pre-treatment assessment and post-procedure care even more critical than with other treatments. While the risk of adverse reactions is relatively low because autologous blood is used, it would not be accurate to say there is zero risk. As a **medical procedure involving blood**, strict safety standards are essential.

*Contact Cellinique immediately if you experience** - Significant swelling, warmth, or redness at the blood draw site - Fever or chills - Severe dizziness or feeling faint - Unusual bleeding or expanding bruising

*Emergency response (if the clinic is closed or during after-hours)** - Severe dizziness or feeling faint → **Call 119 or visit the nearest emergency room immediately** - Difficulty breathing or chest pain → **Call 119 immediately** - Since this procedure involves handling blood, please pay close attention to even small changes

*Information you must share before the procedure** - Pregnancy or breastfeeding status - Current medications (especially **anticoagulants** and antiplatelet agents) - History of blood disorders or autoimmune conditions - Active infections - Allergy history - Any other recent procedures
