What Is Psoriasis

What Is Psoriasis and How Does It Affect the Skin?

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder that accelerates the life cycle of skin cells, leading to red, scaly, and inflamed patches. It can affect different areas, including the scalp, elbows, knees, and face.
Common triggers include genetics, stress, infections, medications, and environmental factors.
For many, Psoriasis can significantly impact quality of life, especially when affecting visible areas like the face and scalp. At rtwskin, we provide best treatments for Psoriasis in scalp, body, and face, offering real hope for long-term improvement.

By directly targeting plaques without damaging healthy surrounding tissue, patients experience faster healing, fewer side effects, and longer periods of remission compared to traditional therapies.

We also offer UVB therapy for Psoriasis using the latest Excimer laser technology, providing a safe and efficient way to manage chronic symptoms even in sensitive areas like the scalp and face.

Post-Treatment Care

After completing your Excimer Light sessions for Psoriasis, maintaining healthy skin requires ongoing commitment.
Proper post-treatment care significantly enhances your results and helps avoid new flare-ups.
It is especially important for delicate areas like the scalp and face when treating Psoriasis on face or head.

Key post-treatment recommendations include:

Daily SPF Protection: Always apply SPF50 to shield treated areas from harmful UV rays and prevent irritation and physical barriers (hats, scarves).
Regular Moisturising: Keeping the skin hydrated helps maintain elasticity and reduces future plaque formation. Use a fragrance-free, pH-balanced cleanser twice daily and apply a soothing, hypoallergenic emollient.
Cool Compresses: Apply cool, damp cloths for 10 minutes as needed to reduce redness and discomfort.
Avoid active ingredients (retinoids, acids, exfoliants) for 2–3 days
Skip heat and sweat (hot showers, saunas, workouts) for 24 hours
Do not scratch or pick at treated skin
Trigger Management: Avoid stress, smoking, alcohol, and skin injuries, as they can provoke psoriasis flare-up
Topical Medications: Continue prescribed creams if advised, especially for maintaining remission after UVB sessions.
Follow-Up Visits: Attend periodic check-ins at rtwskin to ensure long-term success and adjust care if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does 308nm light affect skin disorders?

UVB light at 308nm wavelength slows down the multiplication of skin cells by suppressing the formation of DNA in cells. Under carefully controlled energy parameters UVB 308nm rays help to calm and heal the skin.
UVB light alters the function of immune cells in the skin but does not appear to affect our normal immunity.

What can I expect from the treatment?

DEKA Excilite-µ laser system is light years ahead of other psoriasis treatments. On your first visit, we will test your skin to determine your optimum dosage level. Then, 24 hours later, a painless, concentrated beam of light is applied through a handpiece directly to the skin. As it is only the affected areas of skin treated, the Excimer light can be administered in a high concentration, leading to faster results and longer remission. This therapy has been successful in cases that have previously been considered difficult to treat

Before Treatment Instructions
