Does your psoriasis, vitiligo or atopic dermatitis make you feel a bit self-conscious? We understand the struggles you face with these skin conditions and offer a laser therapy option that may be for you! XTRAC Laser Therapy is a fast and painless form of UVB light therapy that will help you feel more confident in your skin. There is no cure for these skin conditions but studies have shown patients who undergo this treatment can experience longer remission times.
What can I expect during XTRAC Laser Therapy?
The XTRAC laser is a therapeutic beam of UVB light that may feel warm, though many of our patients do not feel anything during treatment. During a session a small laser head will rest on your skin and move over only the affected areas. This painless procedure requires a few sessions but only takes 10-20 minutes per treatment.
What is the recovery like after XTRAC Laser Therapy?
12-24 hours after your treatment you may feel a very mild sunburn effect such as redness, tenderness and itching.
