- What is XTRAC?
XTRAC is a laser developed by the American company
Photomedex, a world leader in the manufacture
of lasers for dermatological use. It is effective
in the treatment of vitiligo, psoriasis, stretch
marks and other dermatoses.
2 - How does XTRAC work?
XTRAC acts by means of rays that regulate the
immune
system of the skin, in addition
to helping in the proliferation of melanocytes
that are responsible for skin pigmentation. Its
applications are absolutely painless. After the
session, the skin remains intact, without bleeding,
dispensing the use of dressings. Only the affected
skin is treated, in such a way that does not alter
healthy skin. In vitiligo, after the repigmentation
of the white marks, in only 5% of cases is it
necessary for the patient to return for further
treatment. In the treatment of psoriasis, the
patient can stay for up to two years without the
recurrence of the disease.
3 – Why is XTRAC better than conventional
treatments?
Diseases such as vitiligo and psoriasis
are usually treated by the exposure of the patient
to wavelengths below 300 nm, which can cause cancer
and premature skin aging. In addition, this kind
of treatment not only acts on the active lesions
but also on the healthy skin, due to the lack
of direction of the rays.
XTRAC, on the other hand, acts by means of therapeutic
rays directed at a controlled area, that is, hitting
only the skin that needs treatment, without altering
the healthy skin, with immediate positive results,
as you can see in the Pictures
Gallery.
