Honouring the National Psoriasis Awareness month PhotoMedex has introduced co-pay reimbursement coverage offer on the XTRAC Excimer Laser treatment for children affected by psoriasis.
XTRAC Excimer Laser
The coverage will be helpful for families that cannot afford treatments with major insurance companies covering the co-pay for the treatment. Many children affected by the disease are experiencing both physical and mental torment. A survey conducted on children affected by the disease revealed that 44% are bullied by their peers while 38% were abused, causing emotional torment and lag in academic performance.
The XTRAC laser treatment is effective in reducing itching, pain and redness caused by psoriasis. This method of treatment is devoid of side-effects such as pre-mature skin aging, risk of tuberculosis and malignancy that are associated with other methods. This method is approved by the FDA and holds independent safety and quality certificates. The laser is directed only on the areas affected by psoriasis providing long term benefits. Dr. Alan Menter from Baylor University medical Center certified the XTRAC laser treatment as a safe, painless and effective method of treating psoriasis and restoring childhood to the children. He added that over 10 short treatment sessions with XTRAC patients have reported almost 75% relief from psoriasis. The laser can be guided to reach areas such as elbows, knees or scalp which are difficult to reach.
The co-pay reimbursement offer is valid from the 1st of August to the 1st of December 2011. PhotoMedex offers a rebate of 100 $ in the form of a co-pay coupon for adults. Apart from this they are conducting a contest called ‘Itching to win’ in honour of the National Psoriasis Awareness Month with attractive treatment options for the winners.
