How Professional Psoriasis Treatments Bring Relief Faster
What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition where skin cells multiply too quickly, leading to red, scaly patches. It is not contagious, but it does impact quality of life.
Why Over-the-Counter Remedies Fall Short
Moisturizers may ease dryness, but they don’t target the immune cause of psoriasis. This is why professional treatments work better.
Prescription Topicals
Dermatologists prescribe topical medications such as corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, or calcineurin inhibitors to reduce inflammation and scaling.
Light Therapy (Phototherapy)
Controlled UV light exposure slows the psoriasis progression and improves lesions safely under medical supervision.
Systemic Treatments
For moderate to severe psoriasis, oral or injectable medications regulate immune response, bringing faster relief.
