Red Light Therapy for Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition causing rapid skin cell turnover, resulting in thick, red, scaly plaques. It affects quality of life significantly and is associated with psoriatic arthritis.
Prevalence: Affects 2-3% of the global population
How Red Light Therapy Helps
PBM modulates the immune response by reducing T-cell activation and inflammatory cytokines, potentially decreasing plaque thickness and scaling. It serves as an adjunctive therapy alongside standard treatments.
