Immunophototherapy Treatment at Corpus Christi Allergy, Asthma, and Dermatology Clinic

The immune system of the skin causes the rash and itch cycle seen in patients with inflammatory skin conditions, like psoriasis and eczema. Immunophototherapy primarily works by calming down the skin's immune system, which results in less itching or swelling of the skin. Regular treatment decreases rapid cell turnover seen in cases like psoriasis. As the condition gets better, the dose and frequency of immunophototherapy is adjusted. The main goal of this maintenance therapy is to prolong the time of remission where the skin is free of disease or skin condition.
