that "non-surgical" laser light can make in treating skin conditions such as
psoriasis. The patented XTRAC Excimer Laser from PhotoMedex targets only the
affected areas, sparing healthy surrounding skin. It is clinically proven to be
very safe, painless and highly effective.

and cover the many benefits the XTRAC excimer laser treatment system offers
psoriasis sufferers, including:

* No negative systemic side effects
* No "black box" warning for cancer or serious infections

psoriasis should learn how the XTRAC Velocity Excimer Laser therapy system is
the right treatment for them. We know the devastating effects psoriasis can have
on an individual`s self esteem, which is why we also encourage attendance by
