WHat is Psoriasis?
Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania assists patients of all ages in the treatment of psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition, which can show up as scaly, red patches of skin that can become itchy, inflamed, and can even scab. These plaques can vary in size and location, but commonly form on the elbows, hands, knees, head, and lower back. There are a number of different forms of psoriasis. Although many cases can be mild, some can be difficult to deal with and may require multiple treatments. It is essential to know that psoriasis is not contagious and can't be spread person to person. At our Devon, PA clinic, our skilled team works with patients to diagnose and effectively treat the symptoms of psoriasis.
How is Psoriasis Treated?
Although there is no cure for psoriasis, you'll find a variety of options available to treat the condition, depending on the location, severity, and type of psoriasis you have. Mild cases may be treated with prescription creams, ointments, and lotions. If your scalp is affected, shampoos, sprays, and oils may be utilized. For those with moderate to severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, systemic medications that are taken orally or by injection may be needed. These are therapies that can target the psoriasis pathway throughout your body. At Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania, we will develop a personalized treatment plan specifically for your needs for the best possible outcome.

Great visit! Was able to get my first treatment that day!
Stephanie is the best and she has helped me feel so confident again! Thanks Steph
Had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Wang and his team during my facial laser. Everyone was so kind and accommodating. The office space is beautiful, with a spa feel. The results of my laser treatment were better than I could of hoped. Cannot wait to visit the office again. Thank you Dr. Wang and team!!
Dr. Wang was very professional. I was greeted politely by the staff and everyone warmly welcomed me. Dr. Wang and his team comprehensively explained my disease condition and I was very satisfied by the treatment Dr. Wang provided me. At the end of my visit, Dr. Wang's team provided me topical creams to bring home and take care of my skin. This was a 10/10 experience, and I would recommend Dr. Wang to anyone. My family was also waiting for me at the waiting room and was very satisfied with Dr. Wang and his team's care.
