Children deserve the
chance to have clearer skin
Psoriasis can show up as plaques on the skin, but it’s not just a skin issue.
Plaque psoriasis is a chronic skin disease than can affect even younger patients.
An overactive immune system, environmental factors, and family history can all play a role in developing plaque psoriasis.
In children 6 years of age and older who also weigh at least 88 pounds
Clearer skin with TREMFYA®
In a clinical study of pediatric patients 6 years and older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, more than half saw 90% clearer
skin at 16 weeks. And 1 in 3 patients saw 100% clear skin at 16 weeks.
Individual results may vary.
