02. Pre-Health Assessment First

→ Please remember: "Consultation comes first; the decision to proceed comes after."
03. Full Medical Team Oversight
This is an area where the entire process—from collection to processing to application—must be conducted under medical supervision. At Cellinique, Dr. Kim Gun-woo personally manages everything from consultation to aftercare.
→ "Having the same physician consistently oversee the process from start to finish" is a frequently highlighted operational point in cell-based approaches.
