I Have Psoriasis - Can I Still Get Laser Tx for Acne Scars?

Thank you for your question. You will first need a clearance from your Dermatologist managing the psoriasis, then you can have the treatment. I hope this helps.

We have been using
these types of procedures for many years and I am not aware of any reports of a
facial flare of psoriasis with mild plaque disease on the elbows and knees. For
this reason, I would recommend that you do this type of procedure in a board-certified
dermatologist’s office if you are concerned, and to make sure that they know in
advance that you have psoriasis, but this would not stop me from treating your
acne scars with the DeepFX.

Hi,

Localized psoriasis is very common, and it is well known that trauma to the skin such as a sunburn can trigger a flare.  However, I am not aware of any reports of fractional laser resurfacing triggering a flare on the face.  However, you can always treat just a small test area with a few pulses with the Deep FX to see how you respond to be safe.
