Pesky toenail fungus can be unsightly, irritating and even painful. Often times recurring and difficult to treat, many oral and topical medications have been ineffective and only temporary for the removal of fungal nails. With the latest in laser technology, now patients can reclaim their toenail and eliminate uncomfortable toenail fungus without the use of anesthetics or oral medications. Known as the PinPointe FootLaser, this new technology is the only laser cleared by the FDA for treatment of nail fungus. It is an innovative breakthrough in treatment for millions of Americans suffering from toenail infections - with 81% effectiveness. That being said, you can now treat your toenail infections more conveniently, painlessly and comfortably with this laser treatment. What is PinPointe FootLaser and how does it Work? PinPointe FootLaser is a patented laser technology used to kill the pathogens that cause toenail fungus, also known as onychomycosis. The specially designed laser beam goes through the nail and safely reduces the infection in the nail bed that causes toenail fungus. It is FDA cleared to treat toenail fungus and has been through a significant amount of clinical research, as well. Advantages of PinPointe FootLaser include: • Safe
• No side effects
• Does not harm the nail or skin
• Painless, needing no anesthesia
• Shoes and nail polish can be worn immediately
• Highly effective With no effect on your healthy tissue, PinPointe FootLaser treatment is not painful. There is minimal discomfort experienced during the procedure and no painful after effects. Treating nail fungus safely, PinPointe FootLaser does not require the use of medication and anesthesia. Your toenail will not become instantly clear because it may take 6 to 9 months for the nail to grow out and take the fungus with it, but it is the beginning to healthy, fungus free feet. Toenail Fungus One of the most common dermatological disorders of the foot is a fungus infection of the toenail. Toenail fungus affects about half of Americans by the age of 70. Fungus infections occur when microscopic fungi gain entry through a small trauma in the nail and grow in the warm, moist environment inside your socks and shoes. Some contributing factors to the development of nail fungus include: • A history of athlete's foot
• Injury to the nail bed
• Sports/shoe trauma
• Excessive perspiration
• Diabetes
• Circulatory problems
• Immune-deficiency conditions Toenail fungus can be picked up in damp areas such as public gyms, shower stalls or swimming pools. Once you pick the fungus up, it can be passed to your family members as well. Fungal infections can also affect your fingernails in addition to your toenails, but it is more difficult to treat your toenail fungus because toenails grow much more slowly than fingernails.
