Breakthroughs in Psoriasis Treatments Stir Enthusiasm in Aesthetic Circles
The latest advancements in psoriasis therapies, presented by Dr. Jason Hawkes at the Elevate Derm West 2024 conference, are causing ripples across the aesthetic community. MedSpa professionals are taking note as these innovations could redefine how clients with psoriasis are treated, boosting both medical outcomes and client satisfaction. The spotlight is on the IL-23 and IL-17 pathways, which have fueled the development of effective biologic treatments, with new advances promising to enhance both efficacy and safety in skin care practices.
Promising New Oral Therapies on the Horizon
While biologics have taken a leading role, oral therapies are catching up rapidly. The introduction of deucravacitinib, a TYK2 inhibitor, signals a significant leap forward. Although traditional oral treatments have been hampered by side effects, such as liver toxicity, the new kid on the block offers better patient outcomes with about 20% achieving complete skin clearance. MedSpas may soon incorporate these advancements into their skincare regimens, offering new hope to clients seeking non-invasive solutions.
Paving the Way: Future Trends and Predictions
Looking ahead, second-generation TYK2 inhibitors and oral IL-23 receptor inhibitors are in the clinical pipeline, showing promise to nearly double the skin clearance rates we see today. This evolution portends a narrowing gap between oral medications and biologics, offering MedSpas a broader suite of adaptable treatment options. With these changes on the horizon, aesthetic professionals should stay informed to anticipate client needs, ensuring their services remain at the cutting edge of dermatological care.
Unique Benefits: Expanding Treatment Options and Client Satisfaction
For MedSpa owners and managers, understanding these innovations can drastically expand service offerings and improve clinical client outcomes. By incorporating these advancements into their practice, they can provide clients with cutting-edge care that not only elevates their quality of life but also enhances the MedSpa's reputation as a leader in skincare innovations.
