How does Boston Direct Health treat psoriasis?
ADVATx®
ADVATx® Quick Facts:
- This yellow and infrared laser treatment has shown promise in effectively reducing psoriasis symptoms by targeting the underlying causes of inflammation and abnormal skin cell turnover.
- ADVATx® treatments deliver specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin, modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation.
- The yellow and infrared wavelengths penetrate deep into the dermal layers, promoting cellular regeneration and encouraging a more normal skin cell turnover rate.
- This targeted approach helps alleviate redness, scaling, and discomfort associated with psoriasis lesions.
- Although ADVATx® provides the benefits listed above, it is not a cure for psoriasis.
What causes psoriasis?
While the exact cause of psoriasis remains complex and multifaceted, it is generally understood to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors:
- Genetic predisposition plays a significant role, as individuals with a family history of psoriasis are more susceptible.
- Certain immune system irregularities also contribute, causing the immune system to mistakenly attack healthy skin cells.
- Triggers such as stress, infections, or injuries can exacerbate the symptoms, initiating or worsening flare-ups.
- Additionally, lifestyle factors like smoking, obesity, and excessive alcohol consumption may increase the risk and severity of this condition.
