Psoriasis is a condition where the body regenerates skin cells more quickly than it can shed the older cells. The skin begins to stack on top of itself, causing red patches with white scales on the surface of the skin that can be painful and itchy. In vitiligo, the cells that produce pigment in the skin, eyes, and hair do not function appropriately. Vitiligo causes unpigmented areas of the body.

These conditions are not contagious; however, they can be stressful and embarrassing. There are a number of ways to treat vitiligo and psoriasis. The XTRAC Excimer Laser is a state of the art technology that can effectively handle the demands of each skin condition.

If you struggle with vitiligo, the affected area(s) will be treated with the XTRAC 308nm Laser. Despite its small surface area, this laser can treat large areas in a short amount of time. Treating vitiligo in a session can take as little as 10 minutes! 

What can I expect after XTRAC treatment?

Patients usually do not experience any discomfort during XTRAC Laser treatment. Following a session, you may experience symptoms similar to a mild sunburn for 24 to 48 hours. Redness, tender skin, and itching may occur. Many patients need less than 10 sessions to see their long-lasting results. You are able to return to your daily activities directly after treatment. It is important to follow all of Dr. Laris’ directives to maintain the health of your skin. This includes wearing sunscreen daily to protect your skin. 

You can expect your skin to look clearer and more even as time and XTRAC treatment progress.
