What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that accelerates the growth of skin cells, leading to the buildup of scaly, red patches on the skin’s surface. These patches can appear anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. While the exact cause of psoriasis isn’t fully understood, it is believed to be linked to an overactive immune system that triggers inflammation and abnormal skin cell turnover.
Psoriasis is often triggered by factors like stress, infections, skin injuries, and even certain medications. Although there is no cure, many treatment options can help control symptoms and reduce flare-ups. Psoriasis can be managed effectively, allowing you to regain smoother, clearer skin and improved comfort.
Psoriasis Treatments
At Vital Clinic & Spa, we provide comprehensive care for psoriasis using a variety of medical and aesthetic treatments to alleviate symptoms, reduce inflammation, and improve your skin’s overall health.
- Topical Treatments
Topical medications are often the first line of defense against psoriasis. These treatments include prescription creams, ointments, and lotions containing corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, or retinoids. Applied directly to affected areas, they help reduce inflammation, slow skin cell turnover, and ease symptoms such as itching and scaling. - Oral & Injectable Medications
For moderate to severe psoriasis, oral or injectable medications may be necessary. These treatments work by suppressing the overactive immune response that triggers psoriasis. Options include biologics, which target specific parts of the immune system, as well as oral systemic treatments to reduce overall inflammation.

Aerolase® laser therapy is an innovative treatment that uses a gentle yet powerful laser to target psoriasis plaques and reduce inflammation. The laser’s energy penetrates the skin to calm the immune response that causes psoriasis, promoting healing and smoother skin.
Downtime: No downtime, possible mild redness post-treatment.
Post-Treatment Care: Use a gentle skincare routine and avoid direct sun exposure. Sunscreen is essential. - IV Therapy
Our customized IV therapies deliver vitamins, antioxidants, and other essential nutrients directly to your bloodstream to support immune health and reduce inflammation. These treatments can help manage psoriasis flare-ups by nourishing your body from within. With our experience in functional medicine, we are able to order extensive testing including micronutrient analysis, autoimmune workup, and gut health / microbiome analysis for those looking to treat the root cause of their condition.
Downtime: None.
Post-Treatment Care: Hydrate well and maintain a healthy lifestyle to maximize the benefits of IV therapy.

For certain cases of psoriasis, gentle chemical peels can be beneficial. These peels help exfoliate dead skin cells and promote healthy skin regeneration. They are ideal for mild psoriasis or areas like the face, where more targeted care is needed.
Downtime: Minimal, with some redness or peeling possible.
Post-Treatment Care: Use moisturizing products, avoid sun exposure, and apply sunscreen regularly.

Maintenance Sessions & Recommended Skincare
Psoriasis often requires ongoing care to keep flare-ups under control. After your initial treatment, we recommend scheduling regular maintenance sessions to manage your condition effectively. This may include periodic laser treatments, IV therapy, or chemical peels to keep inflammation in check and promote healthy skin regeneration.
In addition to maintenance sessions, maintaining a proper skincare routine at home is essential. Our providers will guide you on which medical-grade products are best suited to your skin, ensuring you continue to see positive results and prevent future flare-ups. Regularly using gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens can make all the difference in maintaining calm and clear skin.

Testimonials & 5-star Client Reviews
Outstanding customer service is a rare commodity now and days. When it is encountered, it should be acknowledged. I would like to single out Meena at Vital Clinic and Spa as such an example. She proved on several occasions the level of dedication and integrity that we could only hope to be fortunate to encounter once in a while. I found that Vital fosters this level of dedication within their group. I am glad to be one of their patients.

I took my teen daughter to Vital Clinic and Spa to get a facial and Jennifer was amazing. My daughter really enjoyed the experience and immediately felt her face smoother right after. We were both very pleased with the results. Jennifer did a great job and went above and beyond by providing tips on how to properly clean and take care of your face. We look forward in visiting again. Thank you for the great service Jennifer!
