Psoriasis treatment at the Blue Lagoon Clinic has proven to be beneficial for many people who suffer from psoriasis. Below are some examples of the results after four weeks of treatment:

PASI scores

The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) is an objective method developed to measure the severity of the psoriasis skin ailment. The result is a single figure score that can be used to measure the effects of the treatment.

The figurea above represents the PASI scoring during treatment in the Blue Lagoon, when combined with UVB and when treatment is given with UVB alone, presented as percentage of the original PASI score.

Testimonials

"I want to express how highly I think of the Blue Lagoon skin care products. I bought silica purifying shampoo as I have had problems with dandruff and it worked very well. I also use the algae and mineral shampoo and hair conditioning. My face has suffered from rosacea and nothing has worked until I started using the Balance face line, it has done wonders for my skin.

My skin is now smooth and without acne for the first time in many years. I was never able to wear make-up because my skin became much worse. Today my skin looks healthy and the make-up last the entire day."
- Audur Bjarnadottir, Nurse in Reykjavik

"I want to let you know, these products are for my daughter, she is 21 years old and starting from her birth on suffering very badly from neurodermitis. She had a bad medical history all the time but Blue Lagoon products - which we got to know by chance two months ago through a friend in island are doing so much better for her - they are for the first time in her life making her feel better and I can tell you we tried a lot all over the world. So we are very grateful about Blue Lagoon and also about the possibility of online ordering.

Thank you very much!"

With all of your needs being provided, and the opportunity to swim and soak in the fabulous Lagoon made up of sea water and geothermal water, your worries, aches and flakes all seem to melt away.

The staff at the Blue Lagoon and the people of Iceland are beautifully genuine and friendly."

"I live in Portland, Oregon USA and have been suffering with psoriasis for years. My son googled and went on a journey to find a less harmful form of relief that I was not getting from my dermatologist. I had been prescribed radiation therapy, every cream, pill, and intravenous drug imaginable! I was nearly hairless, skinless yet still miserable and feeling ugly.

My son Troy, found Blue Lagoon! Went as far as visiting your Spa in Iceland last August 2009 on my behalf to see if what he had read about the products were true. Your specialists took the time to talk with him and he brought back the Intensive Mineral Cream. Finally I have smooth health skin on my hands, feet and face! I am not a believer in miracle cures. Rather conservative when it comes to spending money on myself. Not any more! I am so happy with the skin care products I have found with Blue Lagoon. I have refereed everyone I see with skin conditions to try Blue Lagoon! I am a now quite a lovely,happy testimonial living with out pain and sores. I have very happy skin! Every Spa, Dermatologist, Family Practice..etc should be made aware of this incredible product! Thank you for providing such an incredible product and changing my life!"

"During a visit to Reykjavik last month I spent an afternoon at the Blue Lagoon, not knowing in advance about the purported therapeutic benefits of it.?Having spent the last 2.5 years battling chronic allergic dermatitis (eczema), I was astounded when just a couple of days after my visit the eczema was gone entirely! I had spent many hundreds of dollars on traditional medicine (cortisone-based creams, oral allergy prescriptions) and lots of additional money on alternative therapies (Oregon grape root, various herbal supplements, vitamins) but nothing worked -- I was in significant discomfort virtually every day over that 2.5 - year period. ?

Anyway, the eczema has not returned -- thankfully -- and I will be forever grateful for what, by all appearances, was a miraculous cure!"

"Eprile is an eleven-year-old girl from Scotland. Victoria has suffered from psoriasis for the past three years and it was not until she came for a treatment at the Blue Lagoon Clinic that she got a cure from this unpleasant skin disease.

About three years ago, Victoria noticed that her skin was turning extremely dry and red under the elbows and soon she learned that she had psoriasis. It continued to spread out until 75% of her body was covered with psoriasis. She went between doctors who gave her different creams to apply on the skin but nothing worked. She was feeling depressed and it was not until her father, Mark Eprile, came across a magazine article about a geothermal health spa in Iceland that Victoria's hopes were up again. Her father visited the Blue Lagoon website and found out that Blue Lagoon also operates a Clinic that treats patients with psoriasis. He decided to take Victoria to Iceland, as he could not bear any longer watching Victoria suffer from this skin disease.

A week later, Victoria and her father were there. Victoria started bathing in the geothermal seawater for two hours six times a week, had light therapy, and used Blue Lagoon skin care products that have proved to be beneficial for people with psoriasis. In the beginning, Victoria had planned to stay one week but doctors recommended 3 - 4 weeks in order to get better results. Three weeks later, Victoria's skin condition had improved significantly and one can hardly notice that she ever suffered from psoriasis. "It is unbelievable how Victoria's skin condition has changed since she came to us and it is also wonderful to see how her personality has completely transformed," said Ragnheiður Alfreðsdóttir, manager of health services, "she has turned from being a sad and withdrawn girl to a happy and outgoing girl."

Victoria said the psoriasis greatly affected her daily life. She felt bad at school and had lost interest in her studies, her schoolmates made fun of her, and she quit her dancing lessons because the other girls did not want to be close to her. Her mother, Mahiri Robertson, saw her daughter get more and more depressed over the situation. "It was sad to see how this affected her life, she did not want to go out, had less appetite, and did not sleep well. It is wonderful to see her after she started the treatment and to see my girl smile again," said Robertson, who came to Iceland to be with Victoria when her father had to return to Scotland.

Victoria said she did not expect too much when she started the treatment at the Blue Lagoon Clinic because she was afraid she would get disappointed again. Therefore she became very happy when the psoriasis started to disappear. "I'm surprised over the results, I can't believe it's almost gone," she said.

I have to tell you about two success stories resulting from my trips to Iceland and the purchase of your products. I gave some to a work colleague to try on his daughters itchy, flaking skin on her torso and scalp. She is only two and would cry every night with the discomfort. It went within 8 days! I now have a standing order each time I take a business trip to Iceland! A more delicate situation, I was out having lunch with my daughter and noticed the waitress has large raised, red sores on her arms and hands. They not only looked unsightly, they were obviously sore and she was very self conscious. At first I was reluctant to say anything but felt I owed it to the poor girl! Anyhow, the following week we visited the restaurant again and I took her some moisturizing cream, she wasn't offended thank goodness. Anyhow, about 4 weeks later I just had to go back to see if there was an improvement, needless to say there was. The sores were now just flat pink marks and she made a point of thanking me. I believe she is now a regular customer of yours!"
