qd full-body stem cell
Full-body stem cell therapy at QD Clinic applies a regenerative, cell-based approach to larger areas of the body — aiming to support skin quality, firmness and vitality. Because it is a medical procedure, we begin with a health and skin assessment, then our medical team confirms whether it is appropriate for you and how it is delivered. (Results vary by individual.)
is this for me
Who it’s for
Even if none of these describes you, we will look again at the consultation.
- Loss of firmness or texture change over larger body areas
- Those interested in a regenerative approach to overall skin and vitality
- Anyone who prefers a plan tailored after a medical assessment
This is a medical procedure. Suitability, indications and consent are confirmed by our medical team at consultation.
Before you pick a treatment name, start with the cause of your concern.
start with your concern
Even a treatment with the same name takes on a different role and scope depending on your current structure, the change you want, what you have had before and the recovery time you have.
01
Where you are now, and where we start
What the intravenous material actually is, its regulatory status and evidence, and the risks to the whole body
02
The change you want, the impression you keep
We first put what you expect into words, then separate what is medically possible from what is not.
03
How it differs from similar options
Against standard treatment, nutritional support and everyday care, we compare what differs and what overlaps, with the evidence.
04
Health information and recovery schedule
Diagnosed conditions, medication, allergies, possible pregnancy and your test results are checked before anything is given.
the
principle
Rather than the word “stem cell”, we check on paper what the actual ingredients are, where they come from, how they are processed, their regulatory status and the clinical evidence for the intended use.
As with facial treatment, the approach relies on the growth factors and signaling molecules that regenerative cells release, which are understood to activate fibroblasts — the cells behind collagen and elastin — and support the skin’s renewal over the following weeks. For the body, treatment focuses on the areas identified at assessment. The material, preparation and delivery method are decided by the medical team in line with your evaluation and applicable regulations.
How it works
01
A cell-based, signaling approach
Rather than resurfacing the skin, the approach relies on the growth factors and signaling molecules that regenerative cells release, understood to act as messengers to the skin’s own repair processes.
02
Fibroblasts are the target
The signals are directed at fibroblasts — the cells that build collagen and elastin. Supporting their activity is the mechanism behind the skin-quality changes people look for.
03
Directed at larger body areas
For the body, material is directed at the areas identified at assessment. The specific material, preparation and delivery are determined by the medical team under applicable regulations.
04
A gradual, renewal-led change
Because it works with the skin’s natural renewal, any change appears over the following weeks rather than immediately. (Results vary by individual.)
The same treatment, never the same plan.
the qd standard
Rather than a fashionable name or a fixed package, we weigh the structure found at examination, safety, recovery and the limits within one plan.
- 01DIAGNOSIS FIRSTCause before nameWe first separate out the tissue and the function behind your concern.
- 02LESS, PRECISEOnly as much as neededRather than an excessive change, we plan the smallest scope with a clear role.
- 03HONEST LIMITThe limits, explained tooWe explain the change you can expect, the alternatives, individual differences and the risks.
From consultation to follow-up, planned as one flow.

Ingredients and evidence
We explain the exact ingredients and dose, their origin, manufacture and storage, what is approved, and what cannot be expected.
Administration and follow-up
Sterile procedure, the risks of the route used, what to do about an adverse reaction and the follow-up points are agreed in advance.

what to expect
What to expect over time
A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.
DAY 0
Treatment day
The session is completed in clinic. Temporary redness, mild swelling or tenderness at treated areas may be present, and larger areas may feel sore for a short time.
DAY 1-3
Settling
Any redness, mild swelling, soreness or small bruising at treated areas generally eases over the first few days.
WEEK 1-3
Early renewal
As the skin’s own renewal is supported, treated areas may gradually begin to feel firmer. This varies from person to person.
WEEK 4-8
Skin-quality change
Changes in texture and firmness over larger areas, where they occur, tend to become more noticeable over these weeks. (Results vary by individual.)
REVIEW
Review & planning
Your medical team reviews the outcome and discusses whether any further session is appropriate.
Sessions & results
A single session or a short course may be advised, with changes appearing gradually as the skin renews over the following weeks. Your plan and any interval are personalized at consultation. (Results vary by individual.)
how it compares
How it compares
These are different regenerative and skin-quality approaches. They differ mainly in area, material and route, so the right choice depends on your goals and assessment.
| Full-body Stem Cell (NovaStem) | Facial Stem Cell (NovaStem) | Injectable skin booster | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Regenerative cell-based material for the body | Regenerative cell-based material for the face | Hydrating and revitalizing ingredients via micro-injections |
| Targets | Skin quality and firmness over larger body areas | Facial texture and firmness | Facial hydration, texture and radiance |
| Sessions | Single session or short course | Single session or short course | A short series, then maintenance |
| Sensation | Mild tenderness; larger areas may feel sore | Mild tenderness at treated points | Small pricks during injections |
| Downtime | Usually limited | Usually limited | Little |
Neither is “better” — they work differently and suit different goals. The right choice is decided after we assess your skin.
Before you decide, the questions people always ask
before consultation
The route of administration and the quantity are different, and that means there is more to check beforehand. When something enters the body systemically, we start with your general health, your test results and any interaction with medication you are already taking. The preparatory checks matter far more here than they do for a treatment limited to the face.
We go ahead only after we have confirmed your basic state of health and the test results we need. If you have had a medical check-up recently, bringing those results with you is a help. Please tell us about every diagnosed condition, any allergies, the possibility of pregnancy, and all medication and supplements you take.
Anything from pain, bruising or infection at the injection site through to an allergic reaction is possible, and with systemic administration we also watch for immune and inflammatory reactions and for clotting. We also say openly that, depending on the product, there may be long-term risks that are not yet known.
That depends on the goal and on the product, and we do not recommend fixing a number of sessions in advance. Selling sessions bundled into a package while the evidence is not clear is not how we work. We look at how you respond to one session and then decide again whether to continue.
On the day itself and for a few days afterwards you need to keep an eye on how your body responds. If you notice fever, a rash, shortness of breath or severe fatigue, do not wait; contact us straight away. Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for a few days, and before the treatment we will tell you exactly how to reach us if anything unusual happens.
