Care and Treatment of Psoriasis

Psoriasis Care at Stanford Health Care

The management of psoriasis is rapidly changing. New and emerging research has led to cutting-edge therapies not previously available to our patients. At the Stanford Psoriasis Clinic, we use the most advanced technologies to treat even the most difficult cases of psoriasis, including injection and infusion therapies.

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic skin problem in which the skin cells grow too quickly. This results in thick patches of skin, call plaques. Learn more about psoriasis.

Psoriasis Treatment

We offer a number of different treatment options for psoriasis at our clinic. Our team will work with you to find the therapy (or therapies) that works best for you. Treatment options include:

Phototherapy Treatment for Psoriasis

Also called light therapy, phototherapy exposes the skin to lasers, LED, fluorescent lamps, and ultraviolet or infrared radiation to treat diseases. We can use phototherapy on the whole body or smaller areas.

Biological Therapies for Psoriasis

We use the latest and most effective FDA-approved biological therapies. These are injectable therapies we administer in our onsite infusion center. Learn more about our Infusion Center.

Excimer Laser Treatment for Psoriasis

This is a precise laser treatment for treating psoriasis and other skin conditions. Advantages include:

  • Doesn't damage healthy skin
  • Requires shorter and fewer treatments than many other therapies

Psoriasis Research at Stanford

The late Dr. Eugene Farber established a world-wide reputation for the Stanford Dermatology Department in his 40-year tenure at our university. His worked helped to illuminate the causes and treatment of psoriasis. Through funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Psoriasis Foundation and community support, Stanford's physician scientists are leading efforts to understand more about the underlying basis of human psoriasis, identifying new disease targets and developing new therapies.

To learn more about our psoriasis research program, please email Anne Dazey.
