A chronic autoimmune condition — but one that can be managed to near-complete remission. We combine NBUVB phototherapy, targeted biologics, topical regimens, and lifestyle counselling to control psoriasis long-term.
From mild scalp flaking to widespread plaque psoriasis covering the trunk and limbs — we have an evidence-based protocol tailored to your type and severity.
The most common form — raised, red, silvery-scaled patches on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. We treat with NBUVB phototherapy and potent topical corticosteroids to achieve PASI 75 and beyond.
Thick, silvery scale build-up on the scalp that extends to the hairline. Treated with salicylic acid descaling, medicated clobetasol shampoos, and targeted NBUVB comb for scalp-only disease.
Small, drop-shaped lesions appearing suddenly — often after a streptococcal throat infection. NBUVB phototherapy and systemic antibiotics when triggered by strep produce excellent clearance rates.
Psoriasis on the palms and soles is particularly disabling — causing painful fissures and scaling that interfere with daily activities. Treated with superpotent topicals, Acitretin, and PUVA soaks.
When psoriasis covers >10% BSA or is PASI >12, systemic therapy with Methotrexate, Acitretin, or Cyclosporin is indicated. We co-ordinate biologic therapy referrals for treatment-resistant cases.
Pitting, onycholysis, oil drop discolouration, and nail bed thickening. Treated with intralesional triamcinolone injections into the nail matrix and targeted topical calcipotriol under occlusion.
Psoriasis is individual — triggers, severity, and response all vary. Your plan is built after a thorough assessment including PASI scoring, BSA calculation, and Dermatology Life Quality Index.
A comprehensive consultation scoring your disease severity (PASI), body surface area affected, and quality-of-life impact (DLQI). We identify triggers (stress, infection, medications) and co-morbidities including psoriatic arthritis risk.
Potent corticosteroids (clobetasol, betamethasone), Vitamin D analogues (calcipotriol), and combination preparations are prescribed in the correct vehicle (cream, ointment, foam, shampoo) for each affected area.
Narrowband UVB (311nm) is initiated at 70% of the MED dose. Sessions are given 3×/week and the dose escalated by 10–20% each time. Most patients see 75% improvement (PASI 75) within 20–30 sessions.
For moderate-to-severe disease not responding to phototherapy, Methotrexate or Acitretin is introduced with appropriate monitoring. We perform baseline LFTs, RFTs, and CBC before initiation.
After clearance, a tapering phototherapy maintenance schedule (weekly, then fortnightly) prevents relapse. Topical therapies are continued during the maintenance phase to extend remission.
We provide documented guidance on identified triggers — stress management, infection prevention (strep), alcohol reduction, medication review (beta-blockers, lithium), and safe sun exposure.
We don't just prescribe creams — we have an on-site NBUVB phototherapy unit, qualified dermatologists, and a structured monitoring protocol that delivers measurable results, not guesswork.
Our dedicated narrowband UVB phototherapy cabin delivers calibrated, precisely dosed treatment sessions — the gold standard for plaque, guttate, and palmoplantar psoriasis.
We score your PASI at every review visit, giving you objective evidence of improvement — not just a verbal "it's getting better."
If Methotrexate or Acitretin is prescribed, we conduct all required baseline and monitoring blood tests and dose adjustments in-house — safely and thoroughly.
We screen for psoriatic arthritis, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular risk, and depression — all significantly elevated in psoriasis patients — and co-ordinate appropriate specialist referrals.
