XTRAC® Excimer Laser Therapy
Targeted Treatment for Psoriasis, Vitiligo, and Eczema
The XTRAC® excimer laser is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses a focused beam of UVB light to help manage chronic skin conditions such as plaque psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis. Unlike traditional light therapy, XTRAC allows us to target only the affected areas leaving surrounding healthy skin untouched.
How It Works
XTRAC delivers a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light (308 nm) to the skin. This wavelength has been shown to reduce inflammation and slow the growth of overactive skin cells in psoriasis and stimulate pigment production in vitiligo.
Common Uses
-
Psoriasis: Especially helpful for small, stubborn plaques or areas that haven’t responded to topical treatments.
-
Vitiligo: Can be used to help repigment lighter patches of skin by stimulating melanocytes.
-
Atopic Dermatitis: Selected cases may benefit from focused UVB treatment.
What to Expect
-
Effective: Symptoms reduced generally in as little as 4 weeks.
-
Long-Lasting Relief: Patients typically experience several months free of symptoms.
-
No Drugs: No need for messy creams or a daily skin regimen.
