Immunobiological treatment of psoriasis

However, before considering modern methods of treating psoriasis, let's understand the terminology.

What is psoriasis?

Psoriasis is an autoimmune dermatological disease characterized by frequent relapses. In this definition, the concept of "autoimmune" is important. This means that the disease develops as a result of the immune system attacking its own body. In the case of psoriasis, there is a failure in the process of cell regeneration, which leads to the appearance of bright red plaques on the skin, to which silvery-white scales are attached. It is quite difficult to stop the development of the disease, as it is prone to frequent exacerbations.

It is important to emphasize that psoriasis is not an infectious disease, it cannot be contracted through physical contact, in everyday life or in any other way.

To date, dermatology cannot give an unequivocal answer to the question: "Why does psoriasis occur?". One of the reasons is heredity. The trigger that starts the development of the disease can be severe stress.

Previously, it was believed that psoriasis is only a skin disease. To date, it has been proven that psoriasis is not only the skin, but this disease affects almost all organs and systems.

In most patients, the disease makes its debut before the age of 20, and the course of psoriasis is more aggressive especially in young people: the earlier a person gets sick, the more likely that psoriasis will be severe and with frequent exacerbations.

Although psoriasis cannot be cured once and for all, modern treatment methods allow you to effectively control psoriasis and live practically without skin rashes and complications.

Modern treatment of psoriasis

During the last decade, dermatology has successfully used immunobiological drugs for the treatment of psoriasis. This is a group of innovative drugs that can exert a selective effect on a certain type of cells, blocking or, on the contrary, stimulating their development. It is worth noting that this type of therapy is as safe as possible and has been effectively used in the fight against autoimmune diseases for more than 10 years. In addition, the use of drugs in practice was preceded by more than 20 years of clinical research.

How do medical immunobiological drugs work in the treatment of psoriasis?

The use of immunobiological drugs in the treatment of psoriasis allows to change the functions of the immune system, suppressing or stimulating certain immune responses.

In 90% of cases, targeted blocking of certain markers allows to interrupt the inflammatory process and restrain the progression of the disease. The use of immunobiological therapy has also proven its effectiveness in cases where alternative methods of psoriasis treatment have not given the desired results, there are frequent exacerbations, the patient's quality of life is significantly reduced, or the disease is accompanied by serious complications, such as psoriatic arthritis. As the medical practice of Western countries shows, this psoriasis treatment protocol allowed most patients to enter a state of long-term remission.

Immunobiological drugs are thermolabile and require a strict temperature regime, there are also certain rules for their administration, therefore, for maximum effectiveness and safety, the administration of the drug should take place exclusively on the basis of a clinic by a medical worker.

Experience of "LeoDerm" in the treatment of patients with psoriasis by the method of immunobiological therapy.

The "LeoDerm" clinic also successfully uses immunobiological drugs for the treatment of psoriasis and its complications. Dermatologists at the clinic have received training in immunobiological therapy, regularly attend scientific and practical events, and have successful experience working with immunobiology. In particular, the clinic's dermatologists use in their practice secukinumab, a drug that has proven itself well at the global level and thanks to which thousands of patients around the world and hundreds of patients in Ukraine have received stable control of psoriasis.

Secukinumabis indicated for the treatment of average and severe plaque psoriasis in adults and even in children over 6 years of age. In addition, secukinumabis successfully used for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis, even when other drugs have previously failed. Secukinumab not only quickly relieves symptoms, but also affects the pathogenesis of the disease, that is, it stops the destructive process of psoriasis on the human body, stops the development and progression of the disease, stops bone damage in psoriatic arthritis.

As the clinic's own experience shows, treatment with secukinumab results in extremely fast clearing of the skin from plaques and long-term consolidation of the achieved result.

Patients of the clinic also note extremely easy tolerability of the treatment, without any side effects. It is worth saying that in the course of many years of research and practical use around the world, secukinumab has demonstrated an extremely high safety profile, without the development of serious negative side effects.
