Key takeaways

Psoralens are used to treat psoriasis. Psoralens work by making your skin more sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light and damaging skin cells. This helps slow down the growth of skin cells and improve the color and thickness of your skin over time. An example of a psoralen is methoxsalen, which is an oral capsule. These medications help improve the appearance of your skin effectively.
