Psoriasis Treatment with Cynosure Elite iQ Laser

Transform Your Skin: Psoriasis Treatment with Cynosure Elite iQ Laser at Skinfidelity

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to multiply too quickly, resulting in red, scaly patches of skin that can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. These patches, often found on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, can vary in severity and may cause itching, irritation, and even pain. While there is no cure for psoriasis, there are effective treatments that can help manage the symptoms and improve the appearance of the skin.

At Skinfidelity, we offer Cynosure Elite iQ laser treatment as an advanced, non-invasive solution for managing psoriasis. This state-of-the-art technology is a safe and effective way to target the underlying causes of psoriasis, reduce inflammation, and promote healing of the skin. If you’re looking for relief from the discomfort and visibility of psoriasis, Elite iQ laser treatment may be the ideal option for you.

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis occurs when the immune system sends faulty signals that accelerate the growth of skin cells. These skin cells build up quickly on the surface, forming the characteristic red, inflamed patches with silver-white scales. While the exact cause of psoriasis is unknown, it is believed to be triggered by a combination of genetic factors and environmental triggers such as stress, infections, or certain medications.

The most common type of psoriasis is plaque psoriasis, which appears as raised, red patches covered by silvery scales. Other types include guttate psoriasis, inverse psoriasis, and pustular psoriasis. Regardless of the type, psoriasis can cause physical and emotional discomfort, as the symptoms often worsen with flare-ups and can be difficult to manage with traditional treatments alone.

How Cynosure Elite iQ Laser Treatment Works for Psoriasis

The Cynosure Elite iQ laser is an advanced dual-wavelength system that uses both the 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd wavelengths to effectively treat a variety of skin conditions, including psoriasis. The laser energy works by targeting the underlying inflammation and the abnormal skin cell turnover associated with psoriasis, leading to reduced redness, scaling, and discomfort.

Here’s how the treatment works:

Precision Laser Energy: The Elite iQ laser delivers controlled pulses of light to the affected areas of the skin. This energy penetrates the surface and targets the blood vessels and skin cells responsible for the inflammation and overproduction of skin cells.
Reduction in Inflammation: The laser helps to reduce the inflammatory response by targeting the blood vessels in the psoriasis patches, which decreases the redness and swelling associated with flare-ups.
Normalizing Skin Cell Growth: The laser also promotes the regulation of skin cell turnover, helping to slow down the overproduction of skin cells that causes the scaly patches typical of psoriasis.
Improved Healing: Over time, the treated areas of the skin begin to heal, with the appearance of psoriasis patches gradually improving, leaving you with smoother, clearer skin and reduced discomfort.

Effective and Long-Lasting Results: Many patients see significant improvement after just a few treatments. While the number of sessions required can vary depending on the severity of your psoriasis, the results are often long-lasting, with improved skin texture, reduced scaling, and less visible redness.

You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment, with only mild redness or swelling that typically subsides within a few hours.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

During the Treatment:
Laser treatment for psoriasis is typically well-tolerated, though you may feel a slight tingling or warming sensation as the laser is applied. The procedure is usually quick, taking between 10-30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

After the Treatment:

Mild redness or swelling in the treated area is common but should fade within a few hours to a day.
In the treated area, the psoriasis patches may darken initially before beginning to flake off and improve over the course of several weeks.
Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results, with treatments typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
It is essential to protect the treated area from sun exposure and avoid any harsh skincare products that could irritate the skin after treatment.
