Vitligo is difficult condition to treat. Topical cream take a long time to work and are not always effective. The scientifically proven FDA cleared Xtrac excimer laser has been proven in multiple published studies to improve the appearance of vitiligo. The XTRAC employs a narrow spectrum of ultraviolet light B (UVB-308nm) that has been shown to result in the greatest results. Multiple treatments over months may be necessary. The face usually responds to fastest but other parts of the body also respond.
The treatment visits are relatively fast and safe. Large areas can be treated as quick as 5-10 minutes The laser beam is targeted so only the areas with loss of pigmented are treated relatively sparing nearby unaffected skin. Most patients experience no pain or discomfort. Side effects as in any treatment can occur including but not limited to blistering, sunburn like effect and scarring. Treatments usually occur twice a week in the dermatologist office. Most insurances will cover the majority of visits with a pre-authorization. Topical cream or alternative treatments can be used in conjunction with XTRAC. Consultations are typically covered by insurance.
“Wonderful experience. Dr. Goldman is clearly very experienced and a wealth of knowledge. He spent a lot of time going over my concerns, more than most doctors offer. I felt at ease knowing he has been in the “business” for a long time and is very knowledgeable. Plus— he didn’t push any products on me. You can tell he runs the practice with integrity. 100% recommend.” - Kali-Ray S.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Helen Radoszycski, and she was very thorough, attentive, professional, and helpful. She answered all of my questions and presented a thoughtful, effective plan to address my skin concerns. I would highly recommend her!” - Alison T.
“Dr. Goldman's office is top notch. Beginning with the ease of scheduling, to being seen at the time the appointment was scheduled, to a very friendly and efficient front staff to skilled nursing help, the visit with Dr. Goldman was first rate. He is a skilled, physician who listens well to his patients and really knows his medicine. Can't recommend this practice highly enough. Richard Beck” - Richard B.
