Chemotherapy
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that appears on the skin when skin growth accelerates due to faulty signals from the immune system. The disease can appear on any part of the body. Although there is no known cause of psoriasis, it is believed that the immune system and genetics play a large role in its development. According to the National Institutes of Health, approximately 2% of the population has been diagnosed with psoriasis; it most commonly appears between the ages of 15 and 25. The prevalence of psoriasis in African Americans is 1.3%, compared to 2.5% of Caucasians. Four types of treatments are generally used to treat psoriasis: topical corticosteroids and Vitamin D analogs, phototherapy and oral immune suppressive agents. The Institute specializes in phototherapy for psoriasis, using narrow band phototherapy, or less often psoralen photo chemotherapy.

The phototherapy process is considered safe and tolerable for both adult and children patients. Home UVB phototherapy is safe for long-term use in the following patients: adults, children, pregnant women, and immune-depressed individuals. There is no risk of skin cancer and the units have modern safety features, including a prescription timer, child-proof key-lock, and more.

Botox
Botulinum toxin is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type that is FDA approved. One 10-minute treatment-a few tiny injections-and within days there’s a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. (Results may vary.) Pearl E. Grimes MD, FAAD was one of the original investigators for Botox approval, and in addition, published the first paper on the use of Botulinum Toxin in African Americans.
Face Lift
The Titan laser is the flagship of pure broadband light devices. It is used to safely tighten aging, sagging skin and restore its youthful appearance. Often called a “non-surgery face lift”, the Titan laser procedure quickly produces firmer skin on the face, neck and body. It is virtually painless for most patients, and the built in cooling system protects the outer skin. The entire procedure can usually be performed in less than an hour. The collagen-contracting effects of the Titan laser continue even after the procedure is completed. This laser cosmetic technique is effective for most patients of all ages and ethnic backgrounds.
Laser Resurfacing
Nonablative laser and light treatments (other equivalent terms include subsurface resurfacing, photo rejuvenation, and laser toning) have been used for the aesthetic improvement of photoaged skin, acne and scarring. These treatments provide an alternative to traditional full-face laser resurfacing, an ablative modality in which carbon dioxide and/or erbium: YAG lasers are used to remove the entire epidermis and portions of the dermis. It is effective in all skin types.
