Psoriasis is one of the most common skin conditions that occurs most often on the scalp, knees, elbows, and back. It can range from extremely mild to very severe, covering large areas of the body. Four to five million people in the United States are affected. It is not contagious but does appear to run in families. Hubbell Dermatology takes a multi-prong approach to treating psoriasis including drugs, biologics, medical devices and skincare treatments. We have demonstrated enormous success in the treatment of psoriasis with our patients.

Psoriasis is thought to be caused by a reaction in the white cells of the blood that causes inflammation in the skin. The skin then sheds itself too quickly. There are many types of this disease depending on where on the body it occurs, and what type of scales form. Psoriasis can also occur on the nails where it manifests itself as crumbly or smudged nails, sometimes with pits in them.

Hubbell Dermatology & Aesthetics is proud to offer Narrowband UVB Phototherapy treatment, the latest, high-technology treatment for psoriasis.
