Take Control of Your Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic immune disease. It causes red, scaly patches to appear on the skin so many believe it is just on the surface. However, it starts from within and directly relates to your immune system. Certain immune cells are activated and produce too much of a protein called tumor necrosis factor in patients that have psoriasis. This protein causes skin cells to build up and form raised, red patches with dry, white skin on top. They might itch, cause pain or bleed depending on the person.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for psoriasis, only treatments to make life easier and clear up the patches temporarily. In an on-going effort to bring our patients cutting-edge technology and treatment, the XTRAC Laser Therapy is now available at our office. XTRAC Laser Therapy is pain-free, safe and treats only the affected areas so it spares healthy tissue.
Through this laser therapy, patients can enjot the long lasting relief from painful psoriasis symptoms after just a few short appointments. It is covered by ALL major insurance plans, including Medicare.
