Skin issues like psoriasis, eczema, or vitiligo can deeply affect your well-being and confidence. At Houston Skin, we understand the emotional toll these conditions can take. This is why we proudly offer the FDA-approved XTRAC® Excimer Laser treatment. This advanced laser therapy may help reduce your symptoms and improve skin appearance.
What Is the XTRAC® Laser?
The XTRAC® laser is a 308nm excimer laser that delivers a precisely targeted therapeutic beam of UVB light to treat psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis. It can be used on all skin types, both adults and children, and on any area of the body without harming the healthy surrounding skin.
Skin Conditions We Treat with XTRAC®
The XTRAC® laser benefits various skin conditions by improving your skin’s appearance and health. Here are the conditions and how the treatment helps:
- Psoriasis: A chronic condition that makes skin cells grow too fast. This causes a buildup that leads to scaling and pain. The XTRAC® therapy uses focused UVB light to slow down cell turnover. This helps to minimize scaling and is effective even in stubborn areas.
- Vitiligo: Skin that loses pigment, leaving patches without color. Treatment aims to bring back the skin’s natural color and even out your skin tone.
- Atopic Dermatitis: A type of eczema that causes inflammation. This leads to itching, redness, and swelling. XTRAC® therapy helps to reduce symptoms, which may enhance the skin’s appearance and texture.
Benefits of XTRAC® Laser Treatment
Patients who choose XTRAC® laser treatment may experience significant improvements, including potential symptom relief with minimal side effects.
- Noticeable Results: Some patients may observe noticeable improvements early in their treatment schedule, though individual results can vary.
- Long-Lasting Relief: Clearer skin could last for months for some patients.
- Comfortable Experience: Treatments are generally quick, and many patients report minimal discomfort.
- Precision and Safety: The laser targets only the areas needing treatment, minimizing side effects and sparing healthy skin.
What to Expect During Your XTRAC® Laser Treatment
- Before Your Session: Cleanse your skin gently. Avoid lotions or creams that might affect the laser. Wear comfortable clothes that allow easy access to the area. Also, stay out of the sun for at least 48 hours before your session.
- During Your Session: Our team will make sure you are comfortable. The procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes and may result in a mild, warm feeling.
- After Your Session: Proper care is key. Keep the area clean and use gentle moisturizers. Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Protecting the treated skin from the sun is ideal until it heals fully.
Post Treatment Care
Post-treatment care is essential for achieving optimal results. You will need to follow our provided instructions, which may include keeping the treated area clean and dry and avoiding sun exposure. We also recommend using a moisturizer and applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect the treated skin. Results can take several weeks to become noticeable, so patience is key as your skin heals.
