Psoriasis Concerns.

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes red, scaly patches on the skin. It is a non-contagious disease that can affect any part of the body, but it is most commonly found on the elbows, knees, scalp, stomach and back.

Psoriasis is caused by an overproduction of skin cells. Skin cells normally grow and die at a controlled rate, but in people with psoriasis, the cells grow too quickly and build up on the surface of the skin.

Genetics: people with a family history of the condition are more likely to develop it.

Common triggers: stress, infections, injuries to the skin, such as cuts or sunburns, certain medications, smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, hormonal changes, and vitamin D deficiency.

Treatment available.

At Salon Beautec, we are aware of the anxiety that psoriasis can create for clients. We are able to help minimize the effects of psoriasis through the use of LED phototherapy which has the following benefits:

Targeted Treatment and Reduced Side Effects: LED phototherapy works locally, minimizing the risk of unwanted side effects such as liver damage or infections that can occur with conventional treatments.

Rate of Effectiveness: LED phototherapy is highly effective in reducing the severity of psoriasis symptoms. In many cases, significant improvements are noticeable after just a few sessions.

Non-Invasive and Painless Treatment: LED phototherapy is a gentle approach to treating psoriasis. Clients simply sit or lie down while the targeted light waves penetrate the affected skin areas.

Convenient and Time-Efficient: LED phototherapy offers a convenient solution by requiring minimal time commitment; sessions typically last between 20 to 30 minutes.
