Psoriasis is a disease of the immune system manifesting in the skin or joints and there is no cure. According to the National Institute of Health more than 7.5 million Americans have psoriasis which commonly appears on the skin as itchy, red patches. Psoriasis is one of the longest known illnesses and one of the most misunderstood. It often manifests on the scalp, arms, knees and trunk. Dr. Stephen Weiss explains that it can be extremely difficult and painful for those suffering with psoriasis on the palms and feet. Psoriasis was typically treated with gels and creams. In the early 1950 #39;s - 1960 #39;s light-based treatments became available, and evolved to narrow-band UVB treatments. Patients would have to stand in a light box for UVA or UVB therapy and have more than 30-40 treatments to see results. The Xtrac laser treatment by Photomedex is a targeted beam of light in the 308 nanometer wavelength that allows for precise treatment of the area, spearing the surrounding normal tissue. This allows for fewer treatments (roughly 10). Dr Weiss saw 75-90% of patients achieved clearance of Psoriasis for 4-6 months. The Xtrac is considered a medical therapy and most major insurance companies cover the treatment.
