Psoriasis

Personalized psoriasis care can reduce scaling, redness, discomfort, and recurring flare-ups.

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic, noncontagious immune-mediated condition that speeds skin-cell turnover. It commonly creates red, scaly plaques on the scalp, elbows, knees, or lower back and may flare with stress, illness, or environmental triggers.

Common Signs and Concerns

  • Red, raised plaques

  • White or silvery scale

  • Itching, dryness, or tenderness

  • Recurring cycles of flares and improvement

How is Psoriasis treated at The Laser Institute of Pinehurst?

Your provider may recommend one or more options based on your skin, medical history, and goals:

  • Prescription topical therapy to reduce inflammation and excess skin-cell production

  • Targeted laser options, including selected Sciton® JOULE X™ treatments, when appropriate

  • A management plan tailored to severity, location, and triggers

What to Expect

Psoriasis has no single cure, but treatment can control symptoms and improve skin appearance. Ongoing management may be needed.
