WHAT DOES THE NATURAL PSORIASIS TREATMENT CONSIST OF?

The Blue Lagoon Medical Clinic offers personalized psoriasis treatment for people all over the world. After evaluating your skin condition and personal needs, our dermatologists determine the optimal treatment options for the relief of your psoriasis symptoms. 
The standard natural psoriasis treatment consists of bathing in Blue Lagoon geothermal seawater—a resource with scientifically proven healing benefits for psoriasis patients. Lagoon bathing is followed by UVB narrowband light therapy and specialized care involving Blue Lagoon dermatological treatment products. Please note that in some cases the UVB light therapy in the treatment is not a necessary component of treatment. In such scenarios, a doctor’s referral letter for natural psoriasis treatment is not requested.

 

IS A DOCTOR’S REFERRAL REQUIRED UPON ARRIVAL?

Yes, a doctor’s referral letter is required if you want the standard treatment consisting of UVB narrowband light therapy in combination with bathing in bioactive water. However, it is not required if light therapy is not included in your treatment plan.

The efficacy and healing properties of Blue Lagoon geothermal seawater for treating psoriasis have been confirmed by decades of research. Our archive of academic papers contains extensive documentation on the history, science, and potency of Blue Lagoon psoriasis treatments. 

Natural therapeutic treatment has been available at the Blue Lagoon Medical Clinic since 1994 and is approved by the Icelandic National Health Service as a treatment option for psoriasis.

 

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT LAST EACH DAY?
