Psoriasis

Psoriasis Treatment at The Laser Institute of Pinehurst

Psoriasis is a non-contagious disease that affects the skin and joints. It is caused by an overactive immune response, where the body mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, leading to the rapid buildup of skin. Psoriasis is a chronic condition that can flare up at any time, often triggered by stress, illness, or environmental factors. The condition typically appears as red, scaly patches of skin, often on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. While there is no cure for psoriasis, there are effective treatments available to help manage symptoms and improve the appearance of the skin.

The red and white patches caused by psoriasis can be relieved with advanced laser treatments, which target the affected areas without damaging the surrounding healthy skin.

At The Laser Institute of Pinehurst, we offer state-of-the-art treatments that help manage psoriasis and reduce its appearance:

Topical Steroids: Prescription-strength topical treatments can help reduce inflammation and slow the overproduction of skin cells.

Laser Treatments: Lasers like Sciton® JOULE X™ can be used to target specific psoriasis lesions, reducing redness and scaling.

Psoriasis can be difficult to manage, but with the right treatment, you can see a significant reduction in flare-ups and symptoms. Our laser treatments provide a non-invasive solution that helps control psoriasis while improving the appearance of your skin
