HAVE A QUESTION?
Skin, hair, and nails reflect the emotions seen in a mirror. Accounting for approximately 17% of an adult’s body weight, skin, also known as the integumentary system, is the largest organ of the body that is in direct contact with the external environment. Due to hormonal issues, smoking, pollution, stress, etc. your skin may develop some skin diseases which would require you to consult a dermatologist for routine skin treatments.
We know that psoriasis isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that’s why our approach to treatment is as unique as you are. We take into account the type and severity of your psoriasis to create a treatment plan that’s just for you.
Our first step in treating psoriasis often begins with topical treatments. These are creams and ointments available over-the-counter that slow down rapid skin cell growth and ease inflammation. Your specific treatment will depend on the type and severity of your psoriasis.
Phototherapy, or light therapy, is a trusted friend in the world of psoriasis treatment. It harnesses the goodness of ultraviolet (UV) light, much like sunlight, to calm overactive skin cells. We prefer Narrowband UVB phototherapy, which typically involves treatments three times a week for the best results. If needed, we also offer the precise Excimer Laser Treatment for areas like hands, elbows, and knees.
For those with moderate to severe psoriasis or when other treatments don’t quite do the trick, we have systemic treatments. These are medications that work throughout your body to manage your psoriasis symptoms.
Ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy is like a personal conversation with your skin. We use UVB light, naturally found in sunlight, to gently slow down those extra skin cells’ growth. The exposure duration and frequency are tailor-made by our expert doctors, taking your condition’s severity into account.
Everyone’s skin is unique, and so is their response to UVB phototherapy. On average, it takes about four to ten sessions to see the results you’re looking for.
For that extra precision in treating specific areas like hands, elbows, and knees, we offer the cutting-edge Excimer Laser Treatment. It’s like giving your skin a little extra attention where it needs it the most.
Your journey with psoriasis is personal, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our experienced dermatologists are not just experts; they’re compassionate partners dedicated to helping you manage your psoriasis and achieve healthier, clearer skin.

At Aura Laser and Cosmetic Clinic, we offer Excimer Laser Treatment, a cutting-edge approach that has shown promise in addressing not only psoriatic scars and vitiligo macules but also alopecia areata. Here’s how it works:
Focused Treatment : The EX-308 excimer laser is designed to precisely target active skin conditions. It delivers ultraviolet light through a dedicated handpiece, offering high-dosage treatment for rapid skin repair and long-lasting results.
Excimer laser treatment offers a distinct advantage over topical ointments and creams—it eliminates the need for daily maintenance. While responses to treatment vary among individuals, some patients enjoy months of treatment-free living with no psoriasis remission.
While Excimer laser therapy typically has minimal side effects, some patients may experience brief redness around the lesion area. Serious side effects like blistering and hyper-pigmentation are rare and short-lived during treatment.
Eczema is the most prevalent inflammatory skin disease that can arise from various external and internal factors. It has three stages: acute, subacute, and chronic.
Eczemas can be categorized into two main types: exogenous and endogenous eczemas.
A chronic inflammatory condition typically found in seborrheic areas of the body. It can affect individuals of all ages and can be treated with antifungal therapy.
Endogenous Eczemas: Conditions such as nummular eczema, asteatotic eczema, and p-alba are associated with xerosis (dry skin).
Allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis are the two most common types of exogenous eczema.
The cornerstone of managing eczema lies in a comprehensive approach that includes:
Emollients: These are essential for maintaining skin hydration and preventing flare-ups.
Topical Corticosteroids: Often prescribed to reduce inflammation and alleviate itching.
Tacrolimus: A medication that helps suppress the immune response in the skin.
At Aura Laser and Cosmetic Clinic, we offer the best Excimer Laser therapy for the treatment of eczema. The EX-308 excimer laser, approved by the USFDA, is used to effectively treat atopic dermatitis and eczema. This therapy uses Ultraviolet B (UVB) light emission, which is precisely concentrated on the affected skin area.
The new-age technology used in the excimer laser ensures that the light beam is focused solely on the targeted area, preventing exposure to healthy surrounding skin. The precise targeting helps our cosmetologists perform treatments with maximum effectiveness and efficiency.
Long-Lasting Results: Excimer laser therapy offers lasting relief from eczema symptoms.
Pain-Free: Most patients report little to no discomfort during the treatment. Anesthesia is typically unnecessary. Although mild sunburn around the treated area may occur, the recovery period is brief.
If you have questions about eczema or Excimer Laser therapy, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our experienced team. We look forward to guiding you towards a life free from eczema-related concerns.
