Psoriasis Treatment: Lasers and Other Light Therapies
Lasers and other light therapies
provide a type of medical treatment called “phototherapy.” Under the
care of a dermatologist, phototherapy provides effective treatment
for many people living with psoriasis. Some receive phototherapy to
clear a stubborn patch of psoriasis on the scalp, feet, or hands.
For others, phototherapy effectively treats the entire body.
The following links provide more information about the different
types of phototherapy. All have been approved by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) to treat psoriasis.
