Now Offering XTRAC® 308nm Excimer Laser Therapy for Psoriasis, Vitiligo & Eczema

We’re excited to announce that Dermatology + Plastic Surgery now offers XTRAC® 308nm excimer laser therapy, an FDA-cleared, targeted UVB phototherapy for psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis (eczema). If a stubborn skin condition hasn’t responded well to topical creams or ointments, XTRAC may be the next step in your treatment plan.

Led by board-certified dermatologist Anita Saluja, MD, and board-certified plastic surgeon Rebecca Novo, MD, our practice is proud to bring this advanced, pain-free laser technology to patients throughout Indialantic, Viera, Satellite Beach, Cocoa Beach, Brevard County, and the surrounding Central Florida communities.

What Is XTRAC® Laser Therapy?

XTRAC uses a focused 308nm excimer laser to deliver precise doses of UVB light exactly where it’s needed, without exposing the surrounding healthy skin to unnecessary exposure. Because treatment is so targeted, patients typically see results faster than they would with traditional whole-body phototherapy, and with less risk of side effects.

What Conditions Does XTRAC Treat?

XTRAC is FDA-cleared for:

• Plaque psoriasis, including difficult-to-treat areas such as the scalp, elbows, knees, hands, or feet
• Guttate and other forms of psoriasis, including cases that haven’t responded well to topical therapy
• Vitiligo, including localized areas where targeted phototherapy may help restore pigment
• Atopic dermatitis (eczema) in patients who are candidates for targeted phototherapy

Who Is a Good Candidate for XTRAC?

You may be a good candidate for XTRAC therapy if you have psoriasis, vitiligo, or eczema that hasn’t responded well to topical treatments, or if you’re looking for an effective option without the side effects associated with systemic medications. During a consultation with our team, we’ll review your medical history and the areas affected to determine whether XTRAC is right for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

XTRAC treatments are quick, typically lasting just a few minutes, and require no downtime. Most patients need two to three sessions per week for several weeks, though your exact treatment plan will depend on the condition being treated and how your skin responds. Many patients begin to notice improvement within the first few weeks of treatment.

Benefits of XTRAC Therapy

Patients choose XTRAC for a number of reasons:

• Targets only the affected skin, sparing healthy surrounding tissue
• FDA-cleared and backed by clinical research
• No systemic medication required
• Quick sessions with no downtime
• Effective for areas that are difficult to treat with other phototherapy methods

If you’ve been struggling with psoriasis, vitiligo, or eczema that hasn’t responded to other treatments, XTRAC may be the solution you’ve been looking for.
