Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that leads to scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin. This condition occurs as a result of an overreaction of the immune system and typically leads to excessive cell production in the skin's outer layer. In our clinic, we implement the latest methods in psoriasis treatment, providing effective solutions for our patients.
What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a condition characterized by an accelerated skin renewal cycle. Normally, skin cells renew every few weeks, but in individuals with psoriasis, this process occurs within days. As a result, thick, scaly, and inflamed lesions develop on the skin.
Causes of Psoriasis
The exact cause of psoriasis is not fully understood; however, genetic predisposition, immune system disorders, and environmental factors are thought to play a role in the development of the disease. Stress, infections, and certain medications can also trigger flare-ups of the condition.
Treatment Options
Psoriasis treatment is personalized based on the patient's overall health, the severity of lesions, and skin type. The primary treatment options offered in our clinic include:
-
Topical Treatments: Corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, and retinoids are effectively used in the treatment of psoriasis lesions. These medications reduce inflammation in the skin and alleviate the appearance of lesions.
-
Phototherapy: UVB or PUVA phototherapy utilizes light therapy to achieve effective results in reducing inflammation in the skin. This method helps shrink the lesions on the skin.
-
Systemic Treatment: In more severe cases, systemic medications (taken orally or by injection) are used. Methotrexate, cyclosporine, and biological treatments help control the symptoms of the disease by suppressing the immune system.
-
Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a healthy lifestyle is also important in the treatment of psoriasis. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and stress management play significant roles in controlling the disease.
-
Exosome Therapy: Increasingly popular in recent years, exosome therapy is also used in psoriasis treatment due to its positive effects on the immune system. This treatment may help reduce inflammation in the skin and promote the healing of lesions.
Protection and Prevention
In addition to psoriasis treatment, it is important to pay attention to the following steps to prevent flare-ups of the disease:
-
Sun Protection: Use appropriate sunscreens to protect your skin from harmful UV rays of the sun.
-
Skin Care: Prevent dryness of the skin by using moisturizing creams. Also, ensure that skin care products are hypoallergenic.
-
Stress Management: Stress can have negative effects on psoriasis. You can practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga, and regular exercise.
-
Healthy Eating: Consuming anti-inflammatory foods supports overall health and may alleviate psoriasis symptoms.
