Take advantage of the regenerative healing benefits of stem cell therapy for skin health with our secure and potent treatment procedures combined with comprehensive care. According to the World Psoriasis Consortium, around 125 million individuals globally, constituting approximately 2 to 3 percent of the population, have either been diagnosed with or are suffering from psoriasis.
While traditional treatment methods typically offer only momentary relief without a cure, there is a promising innovation in psoriasis treatment through stem cell therapy. Regenerative medicine, in the form of stem cell treatment, holds the potential to alleviate your symptoms and enable a more normal life. Schedule a consultation with our experts and explore how cell therapies are providing a new ray of hope for a potential cure for such skin conditions.
1. What is Stem Cell Treatment for Psoriasis?
Stem cell treatment presents a regenerative method of addressing the concerns of those grappling with psoriasis and persistent skin diseases. This minimally invasive process sparks the generation of new tissues and the repair of damaged ones. The direct infusion of mesenchymal stem cells derived from the human umbilical cord tissue (HUCT) into the skin is offering new possibilities for skin treatment.
Stem cell therapy for psoriasis works on the innate self-healing capabilities of the body, offering a minimally intrusive alternative to traditional treatment processes. Recent medical studies reveal that this form of treatment activates the self-repair mechanisms of the human skin and helps get rid of conditions such as psoriasis, acne, and skin irritations.

2. Understanding Psoriasis: Its Symptoms and Causes
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disorder that is chronic, non-contagious, and characterized by skin inflammations and scaling due to excessive cell growth. This condition can lead to the formation of red rashes and white scales on different body parts, particularly on the knees, elbows, scalp, and nails.
Normally, the skin undergoes a natural and gradual renewal process, shedding cells approximately every three to four weeks and replacing old skin cells with new ones. However, in the case of patients suffering from psoriasis, this natural cycle is disrupted, causing a rapid movement of new skin cells to the surface within just a week. This disruption leads to skin inflammation, accompanied by itching, dryness, and scaly rashes.
T cells, a specialized type of immune cells, release inflammatory proteins known as cytokines in the skin. In response to the release of this protein, the body accelerates the production of new skin cells beyond the normal rate. This leads to the appearance of lesions, dark spots, and plaques. Psoriasis can manifest itself in various types, each with its distinct characteristics. Each type of psoriasis requires specifically tailored care and treatment for effective management.
2.1 Symptoms of Psoriasis
Although the causes of psoriasis can differ from one individual to another, we have listed some of the common symptoms below.
- Re-occurring rashes on the skin that intensify over a couple of weeks or months before diminishing gradually
- Spots and patches in different parts of the body
- Small white scales on the body
- Dandruff-like scaling on the scalp
- Dry skin that cracks and bleeds easily
- Sepsis
- Itchiness on the skin
- Skin soreness and stiffness.
These symptoms may be alleviated temporarily before reappearing. Therefore, it is essential to get checked by a skin specialist for psoriasis in case you are experiencing any of these signs. Our stem cell therapy for psoriasis utilizes the potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from Wharton’s Jelly in the human umbilical cord tissue and is regarded as a safe and effective treatment option.
2.2 Causes of Psoriasis
Medical researchers and scientists have not been able to identify the exact causes of psoriasis. So far, it can be characterized as a malfunction in the immune system where the cells responsible for fighting infection start targeting healthy skin cells mistakenly. Contemporary research has inferred that a combination of genetic and environmental factors is responsible for manifestation. It is also vital to note that psoriasis is not a contagious medical condition and does not spread from one individual to another.
Modern-day medical research has identified the following factors as possible causes of psoriasis:
- Infections on the skin
- Sore throat because of streptococcal infection
- Environmental and climatic factors, especially cold and dry conditions
- External injuries such as wounds, cuts, scrapes, insect bites, or severe sunburn
- Smoking and prolonged contact with secondhand smoke
- Heavy alcohol consumption
- Medications in the form of lithium, high blood pressure drugs, and malaria
- Sudden termination of oral or injected corticosteroids
3. Stem Cell Therapy for Psoriasis: How Does It Work?
Although it may seem like a complex procedure, stem cell therapy is rather forthright and minimally invasive. At Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute, each treatment plan is individually designed and overseen by Dr. Josemaria Torres Farber, a certified and vastly trained medical professional with over 25 years of experience in stem cell medicine and surgical processes.
After thoroughly examining your condition and assessing the severity of Psoriasis, we evaluate whether you are eligible to receive stem cell treatment. Several factors have a say in this examination including age, height, weight, past medical records, and history of surgeries or chemotherapy.
If, upon consideration of these factors, you are deemed suitable for the treatment, our medical team will devise a tailor-made treatment protocol. For our stem cell therapies, we exclusively utilize mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the umbilical cord of healthy and consenting donors.
Our stem cell experts isolate mesenchymal stem cells from Wharton’s Jelly found in the human umbilical cord tissue and use them to prepare injections. These stem cells are injected into the skin tissues through intramuscular and intravenous infusions. This process typically takes a maximum of 1 to 2 hours.
Once they reach the skin tissues, the stem cells initiate their regenerative and healing capabilities in the local tissue site. The functioning mechanism of stem cells for psoriasis includes the reduction of inflammation, plaquing, and scaling of the skin.
4. Advantages of Stem Cell Treatment for Psoriasis
The process of treatment includes the collection of mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord donated by medically tested and healthy mothers after a baby’s birth. Utilizing human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs) offers a wide range of advantages over traditional methods of treating psoriasis.
- Self-renewal and Rapid Cell Division – These cells possess the ability to self-regenerate and undergo rapid cell division, facilitating the quick healing of the skin damage caused by psoriasis.
- Cytokine Production – The administration of HUCT-MSCs introduces the production of cytokine, regulating the activity and growth of fresh immune cells in the body.
- Prevention of Skin Damage – Stem cells help prevent further damage to the skin and reduce skin darkening (Acanthosis) and inflammation.
- Immune System Support – They have the capability to combat pathogens, foreign particles, and infections by boosting the production of Th1 and Th17 lymphocytes.
- Minimally Invasive and Safe – Our stem cell therapy in Mexico involves minimally invasive procedures and offers a risk-free treatment option for patients with psoriasis.
- Undifferentiated Cells – Moreover, HUCT-MSCs are undifferentiated cells and hence there is minimal risk of cell rejection by the body.
5. Follow-up and Post-Treatment Care
The exact time required and recovery periods for stem cell treatment for psoriasis vary based on the medical facility in charge of the process and the severity and type of psoriasis. At Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute, each treatment procedure usually takes about a couple of hours.
We follow a non-intrusive and painless process of stem cell injection and our patients can expect to witness observable results within two or three weeks of receiving treatment. Recipients of our cutting-edge psoriasis treatment can anticipate the following noticeable outcomes:
- Diminished symptoms, especially clearing out of the rashes and inflammations on the skin
- Reduced or negligible reaction to psoriasis triggers
- Lesser instances and reduction in the frequency of flare-ups
- Enhanced skin regeneration and healing through stem cell medicine
- Gradual replacement of damaged skin tissues with new collagen fibers
