Psoriasis TreatmentPatients who suffer from psoriasis develop red, irritating, scaly patches which can be resistant to other treatment methods. Using the XTRAC Laser, stubborn localized psoriasis patches can be markedly improved painlessly. A series of treatments over several weeks is typically required for complete resolution although many patients see significant improvement with as few as 3 or 4 sessions. This treatment regimen is covered by most medical insurances as a medical condition, including Medicare.
