Psoriasis

Skin rituals

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches that can appear on various parts of the body, most commonly on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. This autoimmune disorder accelerates skin cell turnover, causing skin cells to build up and form plaques. While psoriasis can be uncomfortable and cause emotional distress, there are advanced treatments available to manage the condition effectively and improve quality of life. At Skin Rituals Aesthetic Clinic, we offer personalized psoriasis treatment plans to help you achieve clearer, healthier skin.

How Does Psoriasis Occur?

 

Psoriasis is caused by an overactive immune system that speeds up skin cell production. Instead of shedding, the excess skin cells accumulate on the surface, forming thick, scaly patches. These patches may itch, burn, or feel sore and can vary in severity, from mild to severe. Psoriasis can also be triggered or worsened by environmental factors, stress, infections, and certain medications.

Treatment Options for Psoriasis:

 

1) Topical Treatments:

Creams and ointments that reduce inflammation, slow down skin cell production, and relieve itching. These include corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, and retinoids.

2) Phototherapy (Light Therapy):

Exposing the skin to controlled amounts of ultraviolet (UV) light can slow the rapid skin cell turnover seen in psoriasis. UVB phototherapy and PUVA therapy are commonly used for more widespread cases.

3) Systemic Medications:

For moderate to severe psoriasis, oral or injected medications are prescribed to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. Common options include methotrexate, cyclosporine, and oral retinoids.

4) Biologic Treatments:

Biologics are advanced medications that target specific parts of the immune system involved in psoriasis. These are typically reserved for severe cases and include drugs like adalimumab, etanercept, and ustekinumab.

5) Lifestyle and Dietary Modifications:

Our holistic approach includes lifestyle adjustments, such as stress management and dietary changes, to help prevent psoriasis flare-ups. We may also recommend moisturizing regularly and avoiding known triggers, like smoking and alcohol.
