| Excimer
Laser XTRAC is an excimer laser made by Photomedex that is used to treat localized psoriasis and localized vitiligo. It delivers targeted narrow-band UVB to affected areas. See above link for further details in the expanded section on narrowband UVB. Treatments are quick and painless and usually result in rapid resolution of disease. This laser is now primarily being used to treat psoriasis on the scalp and we recently reported excellent results with the treatment. It requires 10 to 30 treatments and often gives long remissions. LIkewise, it can be used to treat localized vitiligo in a similar fashion. |
