Condition Overview
PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that accelerates skin cell growth, causing thick, red, scaly patches. These patches often appear on elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, and may be accompanied by itching or discomfort. While psoriasis can develop at any age, it commonly emerges between ages 15-35.
At Dermasurge, we specialize in advanced psoriasis management, offering treatments that target both symptoms and underlying causes. Dr. Hiba Injibar, an experienced dermatologist, combines the latest medical therapies with personalized care to help patients achieve long-term relief and improved skin health.
Symptoms
Key signs to recognize:
- Raised red patches with thick, silvery-white scales
- Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
- Itching or burning sensation in affected areas
- Thickened/pitted nails with ridges
- Stiff/swollen joints (in psoriatic arthritis)
Common locations:
- Elbows, knees, scalp, lower back

Symptoms often flare up periodically and vary in severity.
Early treatment helps prevent complications.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!
I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.
Couldn’t Be More Happy
Really positive experience. Beautiful building, small but well maintained and laid out spaces. Friendly, welcoming and very professional reception staff. Efficient registration. The consultation was expert, careful and thorough. Treatment effective. Plus Dr Hiba is a warm and lovely person!
Manuela was incredibly professional, patient and reassuring throughout the whole session. She explained every step clearly and made sure I was comfortable, allowing breaks whenever needed and chatting with me to distract from the more intense parts of the treatment. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was.
The treatment itself was thorough and carefully done — I felt confident I was in very experienced hands. Manuela took her time and made sure every area was treated properly, which gave me a lot of trust in the process.
Dermasurge has a very professional and calm environment, and I’m looking forward to seeing my results over the next few weeks and continuing my treatment plan. Highly recommend Manuela if you’re considering HIFU treatment.
Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.
Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.
The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
