Excimer Laser System: The Revolutionary Way to Treat Psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a chronic, autoinflammatory skin disease that affects approximately 100 million people worldwide. It is a systemic disease characterized by scaly, red patches on the skin and can also affect the joints. Psoriasis can significantly affect a person's physical and mental health. The prevalence rate of psoriasis may vary depending on the specific population studied and the diagnostic criteria used. Phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment for psoriasis that involves exposing the affected skin to specific wavelengths of light. It can be used alone or with other treatments for severe psoriasis. However, clinicians must choose the right light source for each type of psoriasis and monitor the patient closely during treatment to avoid adverse events. The 308 nm excimer laser is a widely used device in dermatology for treating several skin conditions, including psoriasis. Although the excimer laser can treat various dermatologic diseases, this study will focus only on its effectiveness in treating psoriasis. This study will review the use of an excimer laser, its protocol, and its side effects.
