Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune condition, can cause significant discomfort and impact an individual’s quality of life. At Regenerative Medicine LA, led by Dr. Mark Ghalili, we offer advanced, innovative treatments that go beyond traditional therapies. Our focus is on harnessing the power of regenerative medicine to not only manage symptoms but also promote long-term healing and skin health.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to scaling on the skin’s surface. These patches are often red, itchy, and can sometimes crack and bleed. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder, meaning it results from the body’s immune system attacking healthy skin cells by mistake.
Dr. Mark Ghalili, DO, is a board-certified internal medicine physician and the founder of Regenerative Medicine LA. After experiencing life-changing fluoroquinolone toxicity himself, Dr. Ghalili used his medical training, and personal recovery journey, to pioneer advanced regenerative treatments for patients worldwide. Today, he is recognized as one of the leading experts in mitochondrial repair, IV therapy, and stem cell medicine, having helped thousands of patients reclaim their health and quality of life.
Emotional and physical stress can significantly impact the immune system, leading to psoriasis flare-ups. Managing stress through techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, and regular exercise can help reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups.
Known as the Koebner phenomenon, injuries to the skin such as cuts, scrapes, sunburn, or even tattoos can trigger psoriasis lesions at the site of the injury. Protecting the skin and treating any injuries promptly can help minimize this risk.
Certain infections, particularly streptococcal throat infections, can trigger or worsen psoriasis. Viral infections have been known to suppress immune system function leading to a psoriasis flare.
Some medications, including beta-blockers, lithium, and antimalarial drugs, can induce or exacerbate psoriasis symptoms. It’s important to discuss all medications with your healthcare provider to understand their potential impact on your condition.
The overuse of steroids suppress the immune system and may lead to future psoriasis flare ups once the steroid is discontinued.
Cold, dry weather can dry out the skin and trigger psoriasis flare-ups. Using moisturizers and protecting the skin from harsh weather conditions can help manage symptoms.
Both alcohol consumption and smoking can worsen psoriasis and trigger flare-ups. Reducing or eliminating these habits can lead to better management of the condition.
By identifying and avoiding these triggers, individuals with psoriasis can better manage their symptoms and reduce the frequency of flare-ups.

Stem cell therapy is a cornerstone of our treatment strategy for psoriasis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, which can help reset the immune system and promote healing.
MSCs work by modulating the immune response, reducing inflammation, and encouraging the regeneration of healthy skin tissue. They release bioactive molecules that help repair damaged skin and restore normal cellular functions.

Yes, there are several natural approaches to managing psoriasis that can complement medical treatments and help alleviate symptoms. Dr. Ghalili believes a healty gut leads to a healthy life. Overgrowth of certain bacteria in the gut are associated with Psoriasis, therefore maintaining proper gut health through supplements/diet/lifestyle are imperative to controlling outbreaks. A balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and improve overall skin health. Avoiding trigger foods like processed foods, seed oils, and gluten can also be beneficial. Since stress is a major trigger for psoriasis, incorporating stress-reducing practices into daily life is crucial. Techniques such as yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, and regular physical activity can help manage stress levels.
