What Treatment Options are Available for Psoriasis?

Living with psoriasis can have a negative impact on every aspect of your life. The chronic disease leaves many men and women self-conscious about the dry, scaly patches that seemingly appear randomly. But, the persistent immune disorder doesn’t have to define you. There is hope.We understand the challenges associated with the itchy, sometimes painful disease. At our psoriasis center, we offer a wide variety of treatment options. Our board-certified physicians and support staff are continuously researching and working to create innovative preventative techniques and treatments for individuals with psoriasis. We work closely with each patient to create an individualized action-plan suitable for their needs.

Phototherapy options are also available for treatment of the pesky skin conditions. Your doctor may suggest one of three phototherapy sessions depending on your individual needs. Controlled amounts of UVB, UVA, or PUVA light may be recommended for faster cellular turnover. For patients seeking medical treatments for their skin disease, immune system modifiers, or “biologics” are readily available.  There have never been as many options as there are today in this category of therapy for Psoriasis. Treatments can be tailored to the individual based on their disease activity.   Our goal is to provide patient-centric care for everyone that walks through our door. From diagnosis to treatment, we’re committed to giving you the highest quality medical skincare and cosmetic procedures so you can take your life back.
