Psoriasis Treatment London — Consultant Dermatologist‑Led Care

Plaque, scalp or guttate psoriasis can affect confidence and comfort. At Skinhorizon Clinic in Maida Vale, our consultant dermatologist designs a personalised plan using targeted GME Excimer UVB, prescription topicals and scalp care — with clear guidance to control flares.

How We Treat Psoriasis

We combine targeted light therapy with precise topical regimens and scalp‑specific care. Plans focus on reducing inflammation, scaling and itch — and on practical routines you can maintain.

• Excimer UVB — concentrated UVB for plaques and difficult sites, sparing surrounding skin.
• Prescription topicals — vitamin D analogues, keratolytics and anti‑inflammatories as indicated.
• Scalp protocols — medicated shampoos, solutions, and technique guidance for thick scale.
• Trigger review — infection, friction, climate and medication checks to reduce relapse risk.

Scalp & Guttate Psoriasis

Scalp disease often needs specific solutions and application methods; we teach practical routines for adherence. Guttate psoriasis, commonly post‑infection, responds well to light‑based approaches after consultant review.

When to Delay or Avoid Certain Options

• Active infection or open skin — treat/cover first before light therapy.
• Photosensitivity or recent significant sunburn — defer phototherapy.
• Pregnancy/breastfeeding — topical and scalp regimens often suitable; phototherapy assessed case‑by‑case.
• Uncontrolled comorbidities affecting healing — individual risk‑benefit review.
