Psoriasis

An autoimmune dermatological condition, psoriasis, is characterized by the rapid multiplication of cells on the skin leading to inflammation on the skin and ultimately leaves one with thick, red, scaly patches on the skin. These are known as plaques; they can present anywhere but commonly occur on the elbow, knee, scalp, and lower back regions. Treatments like Aerolase Laser Treatment can help soothe irritated skin and support overall skin health.

Psoriasis Care: Prevention & Treatment Options

Preventive Measures

  • Healthy Lifestyle: Eating healthily in combination with exercise and reduced stress helps prevent flare-ups.
  • Gentle Skin Care: Milder products containing fewer fragrances can be used, as well as to reduce irritation and the occurrence of symptoms.
  • Avoid Known Triggers: Some environmental or lifestyle causes that trigger flare-ups should be identified and avoided to lessen their occurrences.

Treatment Options

  • Phototherapy: As one of the offered psoriasis therapies in London, Halcyon Medispa, a specialist psoriasis clinic in London, uses controlled phototherapy to help slow down the rate of reproduction of skin cells. This controls plaques and redness by using certain lengths of UV rays.
  • Topical Treatments: We apply to the affected area directly topical, medicinal-grade creams or ointment that contains corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, or retinoids, thus providing relief from symptoms and inflammation.
  • Systemic Treatment: Oral or injectable medications are used in more severe cases to control an immune system reaction; symptoms usually decrease over time.
  • Biologic Therapy: Direct biologics treat the malfunction of the immune system, and in cases where other treatments are not appropriate, they can be used as a treatment option for moderate to severe psoriasis.
