How does stem cell therapy treat psoriasis?

MSCs modulate the overactive T-cell response that drives psoriasis, reduce inflammatory cytokine production, and promote skin tissue repair. This immune modulation approach targets the autoimmune root cause of psoriasis rather than just treating skin symptoms.

Can stem cell therapy clear psoriasis plaques?

Many patients experience significant reduction in plaque size, thickness, and redness after MSC therapy. Some achieve near-complete clearance. The immunomodulatory effects help prevent new plaque formation by rebalancing the immune system.

What types of psoriasis can be treated with stem cells?

MSC therapy is effective for plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, inverse psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. The systemic immune modulation approach addresses all forms of the condition simultaneously.

How does stem cell therapy compare to biologics for psoriasis?

While biologics suppress specific immune pathways, MSC therapy provides broader immunomodulation with fewer side effects. Unlike biologics that require ongoing treatment, MSC therapy can provide lasting improvement from one or two treatment courses.

Psoriasis Stem Cell Therapy in Istanbul, Turkey

Stem cell therapy for psoriasis. MSC treatments modulate the overactive T-cell response driving psoriasis, reduce inflammatory cytokines, and promote skin tissue repair for lasting improvement.

About Psoriasis Stem Cell Therapy in Istanbul

Stem cell therapy for psoriasis at StemCell Longevita in Istanbul modulates the autoimmune response driving skin inflammation, reduces plaque formation, and promotes lasting skin clearance. Our MSC treatments offer an alternative to long-term biologic therapy with fewer side effects and the potential for durable remission.

How Stem Cell Therapy Works for This Condition

Psoriasis is driven by overactive Th17 cells producing IL-17 and IL-23, causing keratinocyte hyperproliferation and skin inflammation. MSCs suppress Th17 cell activity, reduce inflammatory cytokine production, promote regulatory T-cell generation to restore immune tolerance, and support repair of damaged skin tissue. This comprehensive immune modulation can achieve lasting plaque reduction.

Who Is a Candidate?

Patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, inverse psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. Particularly beneficial for patients who have not responded to topical treatments, those experiencing side effects from systemic immunosuppressants or biologics, and those seeking an alternative to long-term medication.

Treatment Process at StemCell Longevita

After dermatological assessment including PASI scoring and review of prior treatments, treatment involves systemic IV MSC infusion for immune system modulation.

Expected Results & Recovery

Reduced plaque size, thickness, and erythema within 2-4 weeks. Progressive skin clearing over 2-4 months. Many patients achieve significant PASI improvement (50-75% or greater). The immunomodulatory effects help prevent new plaque formation for 12-18 months.

Why Choose Turkey for Treatment?

Istanbul's dermatology centers provide comprehensive skin evaluation. MSC therapy for psoriasis at 60-80% lower cost than Western biologic therapy programs, with potentially longer-lasting results from fewer treatments.

Cost of Treatment

Psoriasis stem cell therapy from €6,500, including dermatological assessment, MSC infusion, hotel, transfers, and 12-month follow-up.
