Laser Psoriasis Treatment in Eastvale, CA
What Is Laser Psoriasis Treatment?
When you have psoriasis, you are likely to notice light-colored, red, flaky, or elevated spots on the surface of the skin that are itchy, inflamed, scaly, and crusted over. This long-term skin problem develops when skin cells become enlarged too quickly. Psoriasis spots can vary in diameter and commonly form near the hands, elbows, soles of the feet, back of the knees, head, and lower portion of the back. At Serene Aesthetics & Med Spa, our team often addresses psoriasis and other skin concerns through treatments with the Harmony XL PRO laser from Alma. Using advanced light energy, our laser system can treat these skin lesions to help reduce the effects of psoriasis, like irritation and flakiness. To determine whether laser treatments with the Harmony XL PRO technology are an option to control your condition and alleviate your symptoms, call our Eastvale, CA office.
Laser Psoriasis Treatment FAQ
What causes psoriasis?
Psoriasis is thought to occur when normal cells are unintentionally damaged by the body’s immune system. For most men and women, this might not be a common problem. But when the body starts fighting sickness or infection, the increase of activity from the immune system could result in an episode of psoriasis.
What does psoriasis look like?
Red or pink spots of elevated, thickened, rough skin tissue commonly signify a psoriasis condition. These impacted areas are most often located on the elbows, scalp, and knees; however, they may develop nearly anywhere on a patient’s skin. Contact our Eastvale, CA location as soon as you can to have your condition addressed by a member of our team.
What happens when psoriasis isn't treated?
Though acute bouts of psoriasis may not have lasting negative outcomes, moderate to severe bouts of the condition may result in psoriatic arthritis if you put off treatment. When treatment is not received, this type of arthritis might cause debilitating pain and discomfort, mobility issues, and joint disfigurement.
How does laser treatment for psoriasis work?
Treatment with the Harmony XL PRO laser at Serene Aesthetics & Med Spa works through focused light to reduce the presence of psoriasis by slowing the proliferation of skin cells. Treatment sessions only require a few minutes to complete and generally produce a mild heat and snapping sensation. Patients may require a series of appointments to improve a plaque psoriasis condition.
