Biologics and Topicals

Biologics are highly-targeted medicines that contain molecules from living organisms. Topicals include creams, ointments, or gels applied to the skin.

What is it?

Many individuals are quite acquainted with the use of topical medications. These types of treatments are frequently the initial approach to resolving a range of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema. Topical medications are applied directly to the affected area of the skin. Some of the latest topical treatments, such as JAK inhibitors, have demonstrated a swift improvement in managing conditions like alopecia, vitiligo, and eczema.

Biologics are transforming the way diseases that provoke the immune system to unnaturally attack the body are treated. Biologics are composed of molecules derived from living organisms and can lessen or completely alleviate symptoms of psoriasis and eczema. Unlike synthetic drugs which can impact your entire immune system, biologics are highly targeted, focusing on the specific part of your immune system that is causing symptoms. For some patients at our dermatology clinic, this has resulted in life-altering outcomes.

Biologics function systemically, typically administered through injection or infusion, to tackle more severe cases of chronic diseases. Consult with one of our board-certified dermatologists in Bexley, OH, to determine if biologics or topical treatments could be the right solution for your skin condition.
