While lasers might seem scary to some, they are used daily for cosmetic procedures and are safer, quicker and more effective than in years past. CoolTouch is quickly becoming the preferred treatment for patients suffering from fungal toenails. This new laser technology is 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 88% effectiveness. With that said, you can now treat your toenail infections more conveniently, painlessly and comfortably with this laser treatment. With CoolTouch, the latest in laser technology, patients can now reclaim their toenail and eliminate uncomfortable toenail fungus without the use of anesthetics or oral medications. What is CoolTouch and how does it Work? CoolTouch is a non-invasive laser treatment for fungal toenails. The advanced CoolTouch laser emits a brief but gentle burst of light into the targeted area. The laser energy heats the infected tissue creating an environment where fungus cannot survive. Even though some toenails may be infected, the laser treatment is performed on all 10 toenails since it is the nature of this disease to spread and infect other healthy tissues. CoolTouch is the preferred treatment for fungal nails for many reasons including: • Quick, in-office procedure
• Safe and effective treatment
• No anesthesia required
• Virtually painless procedure
• No down time from your regular activities
• Advanced lasers are the most effective treatment for toenail fungus Your toenails will be cleaned and filed prior to the CoolTouch laser treatment. As each toenail is treated with the laser, you will feel a mild, warming sensation immediately followed by a burst of cooling cryogen spray as the laser beam penetrates the toenail, instantly killing the fungus underneath. You may return to your normal activities immediately after treatment and results will show after toenails grow over a 9 to 12 month period. Post Procedure Care and Preventative Measures After your CoolTouch laser treatment it is important to wear comfortable shoes and hosiery that allow your feet some breathing space. In addition, wear shoes, sandals or flip-flops in community showers or locker rooms to further prevent toenail infections.
