XTRAC 308 nm excimer laser therapy for psoriasis is a targeted ultraviolet treatment that halts the autoimmune inflammatory process driving psoriatic plaques at the specific lesion site, without exposing surrounding healthy skin to UV radiation. The 308 nm wavelength selectively suppresses the hyperactivated T-lymphocytes responsible for the psoriatic inflammatory cascade. Derma Medical Clinic introduced the XTRAC system to Czech clinical practice and is one of the country's most experienced XTRAC operators. One to two sessions per week for ten to twenty sessions produces minimum six-month remission, with studies showing remission of up to two years. Treatment is covered by five major Czech health insurers.
About this treatment
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition in which T-lymphocytes abnormally target skin cells, triggering a rapid proliferation cycle that produces the characteristic silver-scaled plaques. The 308 nm excimer laser was developed specifically for psoriasis because this narrow-band UV wavelength is optimally absorbed by the T-lymphocytes driving the inflammatory process. When applied at therapeutic doses, it induces apoptosis (programmed cell death)…

The treatment is also effective for plaque recurrence after systemic therapy, and can be combined with topical treatments to…
