Dr. Wong prescribes biologic medications to treat many different autoimmune skin disorders. Biologics are specialty medicines made inside living cells and designed to target specific parts of the immune system involved in a particular disease. Biologics are antibodies that target a specific inflammatory protein or receptor that activates certain inflammatory responses causing skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. The medication is administered as an injection because it is not able to be stablized in an oral formulation. She will teach you how to give yourself the injections. There is no syringe to fill and you will not see a needle. The medication is in a prefilled pen that is placed against the skin. A button is pressed on the pen. You will hear a snap and feel a pinching or stinging sensation as the medication is injected.
