Psoriasis Treatment

WHAT is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition characterized by the rapid turnover of skin cells, leading to the formation of thick, silvery scales and itchy, dry, red patches. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Psoriasis is not merely a cosmetic issue; it is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, accelerating their growth cycle. This results in the buildup of dead skin cells on the skin's surface. While the severity of psoriasis can vary from mild to severe, it often has a significant impact on a person's quality of life, both physically and emotionally.

Our experienced dermatologists and healthcare professionals are dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for individuals with psoriasis. We stay at the forefront of medical advancements to offer the latest and most effective treatments.

Causes of Psoriasis

Genetic Predisposition

Psoriasis tends to run in families, suggesting a genetic component. Certain genes associated with the immune system may increase the likelihood of developing the condition.

Immune System Dysfunction

Psoriasis is classified as an autoimmune disease. The immune system, which normally protects the body from infections, mistakenly targets healthy skin cells, causing an overproduction of new cells.

Environmental Triggers

Various environmental factors can trigger or exacerbate psoriasis in predisposed individuals. These triggers may include infections, skin injuries (such as cuts, scrapes, or sunburns), stress, smoking, and certain medications.

Lifestyle Factors

Lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption, smoking, and obesity can also influence the severity and frequency of psoriasis flare-ups.

Climate

Cold weather and lack of sunlight can exacerbate symptoms, while warmer climates and UV exposure may improve them.

Treatment of Psoriasis

At Sheen Clinics, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments for psoriasis, tailored to each patient’s specific needs and the severity of their condition. Our goal is to manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and improve the quality of life for those affected by this chronic condition. Treatment options include:

  • Topical Treatments:
    • Corticosteroids: These are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and slow down the overproduction of skin cells. They are available in various strengths and are often used during flare-ups.
    • Vitamin D Analogues: Such as calcipotriene, these topical treatments help slow the growth of skin cells and can be used in combination with corticosteroids.
    • Retinoids: Topical retinoids like tazarotene help normalize DNA activity in skin cells and reduce inflammation.
    • Salicylic Acid: This helps to remove scales and smooth the skin.
  • Phototherapy:
    • Ultraviolet B (UVB) Therapy: Exposing the skin to UVB light can help slow the rapid growth of skin cells. This treatment can be administered in a medical setting or through a home-use device.
    • Psoralen Plus Ultraviolet A (PUVA) Therapy: Involves taking a light-sensitizing medication (psoralen) before exposure to UVA light, enhancing the effects of the treatment.
    • Combination Therapy: Often, a combination of treatments is most effective. Our specialists will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include a mix of topical treatments, phototherapy, and systemic medications to optimize results and minimize side effects.
