What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-related condition that speeds up skin cell turnover, causing thick, red, scaly plaques that can itch, burn, or crack. It most often affects the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, though it can appear anywhere on the body. Symptoms tend to come and go, with flare-ups often triggered by stress, weather changes, illness, or skin injury.
How Aerolase Treats Psoriasis
The Aerolase laser delivers energy in a precise, ultra-short pulse that targets the inflammation and increased blood flow feeding psoriatic plaques. This helps slow excess skin buildup, soothe irritation, and smooth texture. Treatment is suitable for all skin types and most areas of the body, offering an alternative or complement to topical therapies.
