The XTRAC Excimer Laser offers a revolutionary new treatment for patients suffering from psoriasis. This laser uses a carefully focused beam of light delivered through a sophisticated fiber optic device. The XTRAC system allows the practitioner to use high doses of UVB light necessary for fast, effective treatment of the psoriasis plaques while minimizing the risk of exposure to healthy skin.

For patients with recalcitrant psoriasis, especially on elbows, knees, scalp, and hands, this laser allows for quick, effective, painless treatment in as little as a single treatment. Patients can often obtain relief in just six to ten brief sessions, compared to 25-30 treatments with conventional phototherapy. Remissions are expected to last months. This laser is also FDA-market cleared to the treatment of white patches of vitiligo. Some success has also been published in the repigmentation of scars.
