Laser Treatment of Psoriasis

The Clinic Lémanic is the first to use the revolutionary Excimer Laser technique for the treatment of psoriasis and in particular in the treatment of rebellious thick layers on the body and scalp.

Indications

• Psoriasis not too severe.
• Isolated thick layers that resist to traditional treatments.
• Psoriasis on the scalp.

Technique

The Excimer Laser emits in the UV a wave length of around 308nm, with a very precise impact on the chosen target in a short lapse of time.

The treatment is painless and does not necessitate the need to take concomitant medication. This technique is particularly suitable for patients with psoriasis in limited zones

Programme

• 2 treatments a week (4 to 8 treatments are generally sufficient).

Results

• In general excellent (including the scalp).

Advantages of the technique

• Improvement as from the first treatment.
• Few treatments necessary.
• The necessary cumulative dose is around 6,5 times inferior to conventional phototherapy.
• Good results possible where traditional treatments have failed; enables treatment of the scalp, a zone not accessible to traditional Pluvatherapy.
• Highly selective exposure, only on effected zones; healthy zones spared.
• Markedly superior cosmetic result.
