In their own words
When I first came to the practice, about 60% of my scalp was covered [with psoriasis], and no other treatments had worked for [many] years. The treatment worked very well…all my psoriasis has gone into recession except a very stubborn area…I highly recommend the XTRAC treatment.
I was referred to Dr. Weinfeld by another dermatologist specifically for XTRAC treatment and was immediately impressed by the personal care and attention that Dr. Weinfeld showed me. She works closely with my other dermatologist to come up with a care plan that best suits me. The XTRAC treatment has been very helpful [for] my autoimmune condition. Treatment is two times per week and I enjoy coming to the office because everyone is so nice and helpful!
