Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a persistent skin disease that takes its name from the Greek word for "itch." The skin becomes inflamed, producing red, thickened areas with silvery scales; most often on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.
In some cases, psoriasis is so mild that people don't know they have it. At the opposite extreme, severe psoriasis may cover large areas of the body.

Psoriasis cannot be passed from one person to another, though it is more likely to occur in people whose family members have it. In the United Kingdom approximately 2% of the population have psoriasis.

The Aesthetic Beauty Centre is the first centre in the UK to provide B-Clear® for Psoriasis.

The Targeted PhotoClearing System that provides a new, unique therapy for the treatment of psoriasis. Combining the proven benefits of UVB therapy with the latest advances in targeted light technology, the BClear® System creates a treatment option for patients who previously have not received satisfactory results.

The innovative technology of the BClear® System represents a significant breakthrough in that it takes existing science to the next level by combining the benefits of highly efficacious UVB light therapy with the latest advances in fibre-optic delivered light technology.

The computerised BClear® System delivers precisely targeted light through a fibre-optic cable, in significantly higher doses than those used in traditional UVB light therapy. This allows patients to experience successful results in fewer treatment sessions, with little or no associated side effects.

Patients with mild to severe psoriasis who have areas of stubborn disease, and those with lesions in the body's skin folds, will greatly benefit from the BClear® System because it offers a time saving, safe and effective treatment option. With its fibre-optic delivery system, doctors using the BClear® System can safely and effectively treat psoriasis with fewer treatments than required by conventional UVB. With the BClear® laser, it is possible to reduce psoriasis with as little as three or four treatments.

Petroleum jelly is sometimes applied to the affected area prior to treatment; this enhances the transmission of UVB light through the skin. This also provides patient comfort during treatment, as the treatment head glides more easily over the psoriatic lesions. Treatment is administered two or three times a week, usually over a two month period. The number of treatments and frequency of treatment will vary between patients, due to the extent of the condition and area being treated. This will be decided during your free consultation with a treatment doctor.

Post Treatment Care

Following treatment slight reddening of the treated area may occur in a small number of cases. Clients should protect the treated area against excessive sun exposure for up to one month after treatment.

A vitamin D analogue called Dovonex (Calcipotriol) may be prescribed to complement your BClear® treatment. Dovonex is available as a scalp solution and as both cream and ointment formulations.

The before and after photographs detailed here show how effective BClear ® can be.
