XTRAC Laser Treatment in Phoenix, AZ: FDA-Approved Therapy for Psoriasis, Vitiligo & Eczema
At Phoenix Surgical Dermatology Group, we’re proud to offer the XTRAC excimer laser, a clinically proven and FDA-approved treatment for psoriasis, vitiligo, and certain cases of eczema.

What Is the XTRAC Laser?
XTRAC is a narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) laser therapy, also known as an excimer laser, that emits a highly targeted 308 nm wavelength of UV light. This wavelength is ideal for treating inflammatory skin diseases, helping to reduce inflammation, restore pigmentation, and clear chronic skin plaques—without damaging surrounding tissue.
Unlike full-body phototherapy, XTRAC treats only affected areas, allowing for higher precision, faster results, and fewer side effects.
Conditions Treated with XTRAC
XTRAC is particularly effective for skin conditions that are resistant to topical or systemic therapies:
FDA-Approved for:
- Psoriasis (including scalp psoriasis)
- Vitiligo
Off-Label but Commonly Treated:
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
- Localized inflammation from chronic rashes
How Does the XTRAC Excimer Laser Work?
The XTRAC laser emits precise UVB light that penetrates the skin and:
- Suppresses overactive immune responses
- Promotes skin repigmentation in vitiligo
- Reduces inflammation and slows down excessive skin cell growth (psoriasis)
- Does
not harm healthy tissue surrounding the treatment area
The result? Clearer, calmer skin with
minimal discomfort and no downtime.
