Psoriasis

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is caused by an overactive immune system, which can be triggered by various factors such as infections, stress, and cold weather.

This condition can manifest as a rash on the skin, affecting your appearance and self-confidence, and in severe cases, it can also affect your nails and joints, making even simple tasks difficult.

Treating Psoriasis

Pulsed dye lasers are an effective means of treating resistant plaque-type psoriasis and have been suggested as an alternative to conventional approaches to treatment.

Phototherapy is also very useful therapy for patients suffering from psoriasis that is otherwise difficult to treat. Treatment is performed in our facility under the supervision of specialists. It is a pleasant, relaxing form of treatment.

Treating Nail Fungus

Laser treatment seems to outperform oral and topical medications for the treatment of onychomycosis* (nail fungus) and often, only one treatment is required, making it more convenient.

This technique is pain-free, does not damage any of the surrounding tissues, and has minimal side effects.* There may be a sensation of warmth as the beam of light penetrates the nail.

* Individual results may vary.
