Leading-Edge Systemic and Biologic Therapies

Schaumburg Dermatology has extensive experience utilizing the newest biologic medications, including well-established options like Enbrel, Humira, Remicade, and Stelara, as well as traditional systemic therapies such as Soriatane, methotrexate, and cyclosporine. For Hoffman Estates patients seeking innovative treatments, we frequently participate in clinical trials, offering the opportunity to use medications before they are widely available. These trials are often provided at no cost to patients and can be a valuable option for those without comprehensive insurance coverage.

Comprehensive Phototherapy Center

Phototherapy has proven to be a highly effective method for treating and maintaining moderate to severe psoriasis. Hoffman Estates patients can receive convenient in-office treatments or, if suitable, explore the option of a home phototherapy unit. We offer a range of specialized phototherapy options:

Narrow Band UVB

This safe and effective treatment can control and maintain even resistant cases of psoriasis affecting the entire body. Our center is equipped with two full-body units and a handheld unit for targeting difficult-to-treat areas. Narrow Band UVB is also a successful therapy for eczema, lichen planus, chronic itching, and vitiligo.

Narrow Band UVB Hand/Foot

A convenient solution for treating psoriasis and other skin conditions specifically localized to the hands and feet, minimizing exposure to the rest of the body.

Topical Psoralens with UVA Hand/Foot (PUVA)

This highly effective treatment is particularly beneficial for pustular psoriasis and thick psoriasis on the hands and feet. Often, we can achieve and maintain clear skin with treatments as infrequent as once a month.

Excimer Narrow Band Laser

An excellent tool for precisely targeting specific areas of psoriasis or vitiligo. The higher energy delivered by the laser allows for a rapid response without affecting the surrounding healthy skin. Treatment courses may last around four months, with many patients experiencing clear skin for 6-9 months afterward.

Targeted Topical Therapies

We can prescribe a wide array of topical medications, including corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, retinoids, anthralin, coal tar, and keratolytic agents, tailored to the specific type of psoriasis you have. In many instances, the correct combination of topical therapies can effectively manage psoriasis and maintain clear skin. Furthermore, we will develop a personalized topical regimen to optimize the results of your biologic or phototherapy treatments.
