About The cell clinic

The Cell Clinic, located in the Akasaka district of Tokyo, Japan, is a state-of-the-art regenerative medicine facility that opened its doors in early 2025. The clinic was founded with the mission of 'bringing regenerative medicine closer to everyday life' by providing advanced, personalized cellular therapies that support lifelong health and natural beauty. The clinic operates under the principle of 'cellular repair, regeneration, and reinforcement,' aiming to enhance the body's inherent regenerative capacity to support a healthier and more fulfilling life. The clinic is certified under Japan’s Act on Ensuring the Safety of Regenerative Medicine, with several of its regenerative medical plans officially accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. These include autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy for chronic pain and osteoarthritis of the knee, as well as preventive immunotherapy using NK cells. The clinic's philosophy is centered on providing safe and forward-thinking stem cell medicine through advanced treatment systems that integrate genome analysis with an in-house Cell Processing Facility (CPF). This integrated 'one-clinic' system allows for the entire process, from cell collection and cultivation to administration, to be managed under one roof, minimizing the risk of contamination and ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety. The clinic places a strong emphasis on safety, employing comprehensive whole-genome analysis before and after cell culture to ensure the quality and safety of the stem cells. This allows them to provide stem cells of the highest standard available in Japan.

The clinic's on-site CPF enables strict, integrated management of every step of the process, and patients can even request to observe the processing environment as part of the clinic's commitment to transparency and quality. In addition to its core regenerative medicine services, The Cell Clinic also offers 'Genomedock,' a preventive medical program that performs a comprehensive whole-genome analysis to identify hidden disease risks and genetic tendencies. This allows patients to understand their health scientifically and proactively, providing a long-term foundation for personal health planning. The clinic's facilities are modern and welcoming, with a comfortable waiting room, consultation rooms, and treatment rooms. The clinic is led by Director Dr. Aki Ihara, a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in regenerative medicine. The clinic's scientific advisor is Dr. Kotaro Yoshimura, a professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Jichi Medical University. The patient experience at The Cell Clinic is designed to be personalized and supportive. The clinic develops individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s goals and health needs. The staff includes physicians, nurses, cell culture specialists, and concierge staff, all dedicated to providing the highest level of care. The clinic's commitment to advancing the field of regenerative medicine is also demonstrated through its sponsorship of major sporting events, such as the PGA TOUR and the Japan Open Tennis Championships.
