About the Treatment
Xtrac Laser treatment is a cutting-edge procedure designed to target and treat variousskin conditions, including psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis. This advanced treatment utilizes a highly focused beam of UVB light, which penetrates the skin to treat the affected areas with precision. The technology behind Xtrac Laser involves excimer laser technology, which emits a specific wavelength of 308 nanometers. This wavelength is optimal for treating inflammatory skin conditions without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.
During the procedure, the patient will be comfortably seated or lying down. The targeted area of the skin is exposed, and the Xtrac Laser device is positioned over the affected skin. The laser emits short bursts of UVB light directly to the affected areas. Each treatment session typically lasts between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. The procedure is painless, although some patients may experience a slight warming sensation during treatment.
Preparation and Aftercare
Preparation:
Consultation:Prior to the treatment, patients will undergo a thorough consultation to assess their condition and determine if Xtrac Laser treatment is appropriate for them.
Skin Care:Patients should avoid applying any topical treatments or moisturizers to the area to be treated on the day of the procedure.
Sun Exposure:It is important to minimize sun exposure before the treatment to avoid any additional skin irritation.
Aftercare:
Moisturize:Apply a gentle moisturizer to the treated areas as directed by your dermatologist to soothe and hydrate the skin.
Sun Protection:Use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect the treated skin from UV exposure, as it can be more sensitive to sunlight after treatment.
Avoid Irritants:Refrain from using harsh skincare products or scrubbing the treated area for a few days post-treatment.
Follow-up:Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor the progress and effectiveness of the treatment.
Effectiveness and Results
Typically, noticeable results are observed after about 6 to 10 sessions. Many experience long-lasting relief from symptoms. A personalized maintenance schedule may be provided to you to sustain the results over time.
