Using a carefully focused beam of 308 nm laser light delivered through a sophisticated liquid light guide delivery system, our Pharos excimer laser system is designed to clear unsightly psoriatic skin plaques quickly and effectively. This way, the heat, possible pain and possible inducement of skin cancers is dramatically reduced. In addition, rather than treating your whole body in a light box, that may expose the rest of you to unneeded treatment, the laser treats specifically only the targeted thick plaques, or areas that are lacking in pigment. It is not a magic wand that erases all psoriasis, nor is it ionizing radiation such as x-rays. Any light, specifically this wavelength, acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and anti-proliferative agent for the psoriasis cells.
Excimer laser treatments have been cleared by the FDA and cited in over 45 clinical studies and research programs with findings published in peer-reviewed medical journals around the world. This procedure is also endorsed by the National Psoriasis Foundation and the technology is part of the approved clinical protocols recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology. Over 2 million excimer laser treatments have been performed by leading dermatologists around the world and with excellent patient results.
