Psoriasis Treatment Advances: New Therapies and Management Approaches

Schedule an Appointment

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by red, scaly patches of skin and it affects millions of people worldwide. Psoriasis impacts both physical and emotional well-being. While psoriasis has historically been challenging to treat, recent years have seen significant advancements in therapeutic options and management approaches. With new advances in treatments and technology, your dermatologist can offer options to help you manage your psoriasis symptoms and find relief from itchy, irritated skin.

Dealing With Your Psoriasis

There are several methods of treatment that your dermatologist might recommend for treating your psoriasis. You may even want to combine more than one treatment at a time for the best results. Oral systemic medications have evolved to provide effective treatment options for psoriasis. These include oral retinoids which help normalize skin cell growth and reduce inflammation. There are also oral immunosuppressants which modulate the body’s immune response to alleviate psoriasis symptoms.

There are also topical medications that can help when you’re dealing with a flare-up. This could include topical corticosteroids that treat localized or mild-to-moderate psoriasis outbreaks. When combined with other treatments, you can have a better handle on symptom control and how your body responds.

It’s also important to remember that lifestyle modifications and integrative approaches play a vital role in psoriasis management. You are encouraged to adopt healthy lifestyle habits, such as maintaining a balanced diet, staying physically active, managing stress, and avoiding triggers that exacerbate psoriasis symptoms. Integrative therapies, including phototherapy, acupuncture, and mind-body practices, may also complement other conventional treatment modalities and contribute to overall well-being.

Karen F.

I went for a facial with Reganne, and it was wonderful! She was the right balance of chatty and quiet so that I felt personally welcomed but also able to relax and soak in all the luxurious treatment. She also was so kind and considerate, being very careful which products she used because she knew I am sensitive to some fragrances. I scheduled my appointment for the end of my regular work week, and now, this evening I’m feeling fabulous!

RJ and MJ Olson

We both chose the practice for our dermatology well checks and any issues that may be discovered during those visits. Most of the practitioners have been great. I also enjoy the facial services they offer at the practice. Both estheticians I have seen there have been wonderful! They have both been very accommodating given multiple allergies that can make my skin reactive. I look forward to my time with the esthetician.

Cathy Robinson

The entire staff is courteous and very helpful. They were right on time. They work together well. They are accepting of questions and are willing to answer the questions. They offer reminders for follow up appointments. I am very pleased to be a patient of this office.

Susan Zeller

As a new patient I greatly appreciated getting an appointment with a few days of submitting my application form instead of a long wait. The staff at the front desk were very pleasant, efficient and helpful in making this happen. The service I received from my doctor was good.

David M was great in all key areas that were important to me. Skill, bedside manner, updates during the surgery and his summary after the procedure. His nurse was also first rate. Thank you both for all that you did for me. NP Donna has treated me previously at this practice and I echo my comments here for her and the nurses, reception and scheduling employees. Thank you all for a great experience

Jennifer Gemmell

This was the most pleasant doctors appointment I’ve ever experienced. The wait wasn’t too long and there were so many beautiful and interesting things to look at while I was there: beautiful art well presented with identification and background details, fascinating terrariums and other plants, and even an Asian meditation garden. Dr. Macallister was very personable, professional and thorough. I was quite happy with her care. The staff too, were professional and pleasant.

Saw Donna and Megan, had a concerning spot on my face. I needed an injection and they put me eat ease and really helped me to feel comfortable and relaxed. Even though the needle stung a little bit I was completely distracted with easy conversation to keep my mind off of what was going on. They were incredibly reassuring and informative and I love going to see them! Thank you Donna and Megan for a quick and easy visit! :)

Don Wood

Great experience from the time I arrived for the appointment til I was finished. Donna Brigham is the most professional specailist I've seen in quite some time. She is very good at explaining everything in layman's terms. Her bedside manner puts you at ease and makes you very comfortable with the procedures she is doing.
