Psoriasis is a common skin disease that appears as large red patches covered with scales. Depending on its severity and location, psoriasis can be treated in a variety of ways, and with a variety of topical medications. At Skin & Vein, we also treat psoriasis with ultraviolet light (UVB and PUVA) and the new biologies and XTRAC® Laser.

Do you feel like you have been searching for years for the perfect solution to your psoriasis? And you've tried every cream, lotion and potion that has been put in front of you? Look no further because the XTRAC Excimer Laser for psoriasis is your answer to winning the fight! The XTRAC® Laser is the first FDA cleared excimer laser system for the treatment of psoriasis. The laser directly targets the psoriasis lesion with a narrow, focused laser beam to safely deliver super-narrowband UVB phototherapy to pinpoint specific regions needing treatment. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that most mild to moderate plaque psoriasis patients will achieve 75% or greater clearance in as few as 6-10 brief treatment sessions.

The XTRAC® Excimer Laser has been shown to have fewer of the drawbacks often associated with other psoriasis treatments, such as premature aging of healthy skin, skin thinning or resistance to medication.

It's So Easy:

• Pain-free laser targets just the psoriasis lesions.

• Normal skin is not exposed to unnecessary UV light.

• Psoriasis remission possible in just 6-10 brief treatment sessions.

• Remission has been shown to typically last several months?

• Covered by most major insurance companies.

Our Patients say that XTRAC® is the best thing that ever happened to them!

"I just can't say what a good feeling it is not to see those ugly scales when I raise my arms or look in the mirror. After six treatments, they were gone. It is just amazing. XTRAC® is the best thing that ever happened to me. Every time I pass a mirror, I have to look, because I just can't believe it's gone." - N.R., Bethlehem, PA

"I could not wear short-sleeved shirts for fear that someone would notice. I was totally embarrassed by my red, flaky, scary looking skin. Now my elbows are completely clear! Even the discoloring that occurred during the treatments has almost disappeared! I can't believe what a difference XTRAC® has made!" - M.M., Des Moines, IA

According to the National Psoriasis Foundation approximately 4.5 million adults in the United States are faced with the lifelong disease of psoriasis. Many are faced with the most common form-plaque psoriasis where skin takes on a raised, red and scaly appearance due to a build-up of dead skin cells.
