What Is Laser Psoriasis Treatment?

When you are suffering from psoriasis, you are likely to experience flaky, red, and thickened plaques on the skin that might be scaly, inflamed, itchy, and even crusted. This long-term dermatology problem typically varies in diameter and often appears on the elbows, hands, soles of the feet, knees, scalp, and back. At Adi MedSpa, Dr. Farooque Ahmed routinely relieves psoriasis and other skin concerns via treatments with the Harmony XL PRO. Utilizing controlled light energy, this laser approach can help reduce psoriasis symptoms, including irritation and itchiness. To determine whether laser treatments can be a good way to address your condition and alleviate your symptoms, call our practice in El Paso, TX.

Laser Psoriasis Treatment FAQ

What causes psoriasis?

Psoriasis is believed to occur when healthy skin cells are accidentally targeted by the immune system. For many people, this may not be a common concern. But if the body starts fighting infection or illness, the increase in immune system activity could lead to a case of psoriasis.

What does psoriasis look like?

Light pink or red patches of elevated, thickened, flaking skin tissue are often indications of the presence of psoriasis. These impacted areas are most often noticed on the elbows, scalp, and knees, but they could develop almost anywhere on a patient's body. Reach out to our El Paso, TX practice today to have your issues addressed.

What happens when psoriasis isn't treated?

Although mild episodes of psoriasis might not have long-lasting negative results, moderate to severe episodes of the condition may result in psoriatic arthritis if you delay care. If treatment is not sought, this form of arthritis has the potential to cause chronic discomfort and pain, limited mobility, and irreparable joint deformities.

How does laser treatment for psoriasis work?

Treatment with the Harmony XL PRO laser at Adi MedSpa works through focused energy to address psoriasis by decelerating the proliferation of skin cells. These laser treatments only require a few minutes to complete and usually produce a mild heat and snapping sensation. Individuals may need a series of appointments to improve a psoriasis issue.
