Treating vitiligo and psoriasis with the excimer laser

Bethany Grubb, MPAS, PA-C

 
Effective … Long-lasting … Quick … Easy … Painless … Covered by insurance. These words are not typically associated with most treatment options for patients with psoriasis. However, the XTRAC excimer laser, introduced in 2000, represents the first FDA market-cleared excimer laser system for the treatment of psoriasis. This device has also been approved to treat vitiligo and atopic dermatitis.
