XTRAC® Excimer laser therapy is an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment we offer at Advanced Dermatology, P.C. This gentle, targeted laser helps improve stubborn skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and vitiligo.
Our experienced dermatologists use XTRAC® to deliver fast, effective results, bringing relief and confidence to our patients with minimal side effects.
The XTRAC®️ Excimer laser is an advanced, FDA-cleared dermatologic laser treatment that uses targeted, narrowband UVB light to effectively treat chronic inflammatory skin conditions. This precise laser technology delivers therapeutic UVB light directly to affected areas, helping clear skin lesions while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy skin.
Excimer laser therapy is commonly used to treat psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, and localized dermatitis, particularly in patients who have not responded well to topical medications or traditional phototherapy. Because the XTRAC®️ laser targets only diseased skin, it allows for higher, more effective doses of UVB light, often resulting in faster improvement and fewer treatment sessions.
Treatments are non-invasive, quick, and well-tolerated, with no downtime required. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately following their appointment. A personalized treatment plan is created based on the patient’s skin condition, skin type, and treatment response, and all sessions are performed under the supervision of experienced dermatology providers.
The XTRAC®️ Excimer Laser is an excellent option for patients seeking a drug-free, targeted laser treatment for inflammatory skin conditions. With consistent therapy, many patients experience significant improvement in symptoms such as redness, scaling, itching, and discoloration, leading to clearer, healthier-looking skin.
Our dermatology practice proudly offers XTRAC®️ Excimer Laser therapy as part of a comprehensive approach to medical dermatology and advanced laser treatments.
The XTRAC® laser sets itself apart from traditional, broad-spectrum phototherapy by emitting a focused, narrow beam. This precision minimizes exposure to healthy skin, reducing unwanted side effects and maximizing therapeutic impact. Its FDA clearance underscores its safety and effectiveness for medical use.
During treatment, the XTRAC® laser delivers concentrated UVB light to affected skin areas. This targeted phototherapy modulates the immune response, slows the rapid overproduction of skin cells, and stimulates pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) to promote repigmentation or symptom relief, depending on the condition.
Unlike oral medications or topical creams that may have systemic side effects or be inconvenient for long-term use, XTRAC® therapy is a drug-free alternative. Patients often experience months of symptom relief after just a short course of laser sessions.
Our skilled dermatologists are committed to providing advanced care and improving your skin health with XTRAC® technology.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes red, scaly patches on the skin. XTRAC® Excimer Laser for psoriasis precisely targets these plaques, reducing inflammation, scaling, and itching. Most patients see significant improvement after about ten sessions, with relief that often lasts for months.
Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a condition characterized by patches of depigmented skin. Treatment with XTRAC® laser for vitiligo delivers UVB light to depigmented areas, stimulating melanocyte activity and encouraging the return of normal skin pigment, making it a powerful tool for localized vitiligo management.
Eczema
Patients with atopic dermatitis (eczema) can benefit from the XTRAC® laser’s ability to reduce inflammation and itching in targeted areas, especially when other treatments have failed.
Localized dermatitis
Other localized inflammatory skin conditions, such as certain forms of dermatitis, may also improve with precise XTRAC® laser therapy.
At Advanced Dermatology, P.C., XTRAC® excimer laser treatment offers targeted relief, quick results, and minimal side effects, helping patients achieve clearer, healthier skin safely.
The focused beam treats only affected areas, sparing healthy skin and minimizing potential side effects.
XTRAC® treatment sessions are brief, often just a few minutes. Many patients achieve clearance in as few as ten treatments. This efficiency means less time spent in the clinic and quicker symptom relief.
Since the therapy is localized and drug-free, there is no downtime required. Patients can resume normal activities immediately, and the risk of systemic side effects is extremely low.
Sessions are typically quick and comfortable, with the laser precisely applied to affected skin. Both the patient and provider wear protective eyewear during the procedure.
Most patients experience mild warmth or tingling during treatment. The procedure is generally well tolerated, but temporary redness, dryness, or changes in pigmentation may occur. XTRAC® laser therapy should be administered by trained dermatology professionals, and a thorough evaluation is performed beforehand to ensure suitability.
Sessions are usually scheduled two to three times per week. The number of treatments varies based on the condition being treated, its severity, and the patient’s response. For psoriasis and vitiligo, a typical course ranges from several sessions to multiple weeks.

XTRAC® laser therapy is generally considered safe. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential side effects and safety considerations.
Safety considerations:
XTRAC® laser therapy should only be performed by trained and experienced dermatologists. Patients should undergo a thorough evaluation and consultation before starting treatment to ensure it is suitable for their specific condition.
During the procedure, the patient and the dermatologist should wear protective eyewear to shield their eyes from UVB light exposure.
Patients should disclose any medical conditions, medications, or skin sensitivities before treatment.
Possible side effects:
The length and frequency of XTRAC® laser therapy sessions can vary depending on the specific skin condition being treated and individual patient needs.
XTRAC® laser therapy sessions are typically relatively short, often lasting just a few minutes.
Treatment sessions can also vary, but are usually scheduled two to three times per week. Sometimes, sessions may be more frequent, mainly when targeting localized areas.
The total number of sessions required varies based on the condition, the patient’s response to treatment, and the dermatologist’s individual treatment plan. For psoriasis and vitiligo, treatment can range from a few sessions to multiple weeks.
After achieving symptom improvement or remission, patients may continue with periodic maintenance sessions to prevent relapse or manage flare-ups.
Attending scheduled sessions consistently is essential for the effectiveness of XTRAC® laser therapy. Missing sessions or irregular treatment schedules may impact the outcome.
Patients should follow their dermatologist’s recommendations and attend all scheduled sessions to maximize the long-term benefits of XTRAC® laser therapy.
