Could your skin be clearer with SKYRIZI vs other biologics?

SKYRIZI is a biologic treatment taken by injection. While there are other biologics that treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, they do not all work the same. SKYRIZI targets a specific protein in the body to help reduce inflammation that causes plaques on the skin. Check out how SKYRIZI compares to biologic treatments HUMIRA and Cosentyx in the studies below.

SKYRIZI vs HUMIRA: Better skin clearance could be possible

If you’ve seen your skin improve on HUMIRA, you’ve come a long way in treating your plaque psoriasis. Together with your dermatologist, you’ve likely achieved a lot. But what if you could achieve clearer skin, or even completely clear skin, with SKYRIZI?
