What is Psoriasis?  

Psoriasis is a condition that causes patches of itchy, red, flaky skin to develop. These patches can appear anywhere on the body but are most common on the scalp, elbows, and knees. 

The condition varies in severity from person to person and can be difficult to treat. However, there are many options available for relieving symptoms and improving quality of life. 

What causes Psoriasis? 

Psoriasis is generally considered an autoimmune disorder, meaning that the body's immune system is overactive and attacks itself, causing inflammation and other symptoms. While the exact cause of psoriasis isn't clear, there are several factors that can trigger psoriasis flare-ups: 

• Stress: Stress has been known to worsen psoriasis symptoms in some people. 
• Weather: Exposure to cold or dry weather often worsens psoriasis symptoms. 
• Injuries: Scratches, sunburns, and cuts to the skin can result in psoriasis flare-ups at those locations.  
• Medicines: Certain medicines like antimalarial drugs, lithium, high blood pressure medicines, and steroids have been linked to worsening psoriasis symptoms. 

What is included in Psoriasis treatment? 

Psoriasis treatments fall into three categories: 

• Topical treatments are creams and ointments applied directly to the skin. They include moisturizers, corticosteroids, vitamin D-based ointments, salicylic acid, and coal tar. 
• Phototherapy involves exposing the skin to ultraviolet light on a regular basis. This can be done at home with a phototherapy unit or in a doctor’s office. 
• Systemic treatments are oral medications or injections that affect the entire body. These may be used for severe psoriasis or psoriasis that covers large areas of the body or is resistant to other treatments. 

How My Cosmetic Clinic can help you? 

No matter how severe your condition is, it probably won’t ever go away completely. But with the right treatment plan, you can control it and prevent flare-ups. 

At My Cosmetic Clinic, we have extensive experience in treating psoriasis. Our team of dermatologists will work with you to develop an effective treatment plan based on your needs. 

We treat psoriasis with Phototherapy. Phototherapy involves exposing the skin to narrowband UVB rays, which slows down the production of new skin cells so that they no longer build up on the surface of the skin. The treatment is highly effective and painless, resulting in an 80% improvement for most patients.  

During your consultation, we will explain everything you need to know about our treatment for psoriasis including how many sessions you might need and what results in you can expect.
