Overview
The Pharos Excimer Laser is ideal for treating mild to moderate psoriasis.
How does the Pharos Excimer Laser work?
The Pharos Excimer Laser creates a concentrated, but painless, beam of ultraviolet light that is delivered to psoriatic lesions through a hand piece that rests directly on the skin. By precisely targeting only active lesions without exposing healthy skin, the laser safely delivers high-dose treatment for fast clearing and long remission.
What can the Pharos Excimer Laser treat?
The Pharos Excimer Laser is ideal for treating mild to moderate psoriasis. Traditionally hard-to-treat areas such as knees, elbows, and scalp are easily treated, thanks to the laser's aiming beam and adjustable spot size hand piece. The targeted high-dose therapy can effectively treat stubborn plaques, even those that have not responded to other treatments.
What results can be expected from the Pharos Excimer Laser?
Most patients experience significant improvement in 6-10 treatment sessions and clearance in 10 to 20 treatments, depending on the severity.
