Psoriasis &
Skin Concerns
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the rapid growth of skin cells, leading to thick, scaly patches on the skin. These patches are often red, inflamed, and covered with silvery scales. Psoriasis commonly appears on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back, but it can occur anywhere on the body.
The exact cause of psoriasis isn't fully understood, but it's thought to involve a combination of genetics and immune system dysfunction. In people with psoriasis, the immune system mistakenly triggers inflammation and speeds up the turnover of skin cells, which results in the buildup of scales.
Psoriasis can range in severity, from small patches to widespread coverage of the body. It's not contagious, and the symptoms may flare up and subside over time. Treatments aim to control symptoms, reduce inflammation, and slow down the growth of skin cells.
​
At Cosmetics By Briony, we believe in supporting clients with good skincare advice, and Dermalux Tri-Wave LED phototherapy for the management of the skin condition.

Consult your Dermatologist
Before starting LED therapy, it’s essential to speak with your healthcare provider or dermatologist. They can assess your condition and recommend the best course of action, as LED therapy might not be suitable for everyone.
​
Frequency of Treatment
LED therapy sessions for psoriasis are usually performed twice per week for the first 4 weeks followed by weekly sessions for the next 4 weeks.
​
Treatment Duration
Each session is prescribed at 20 minutes of light therapy, depending on the intensity of the light and the area being treated.
