Dramatic Results seen after just 1 month of laser treatment, in conjunction with topical treatment.
Recently a new laser treatment has been shown to have positive results for many patients, speeding up the removal of infection. The laser, originally designed for cataract treatment, uses near-infrared light to target the fungus, leaving the surrounding nail intact. We use the Cutera Genesis Plus which is one of the few lasers that are FDA approved for the treatment of nail fungus.
Historically, treatment of the nail fungus has been difficult because the infection is embedded within the toenail, making it difficult to reach. Eradicating the infection could take up to a year and involve multiple treatments.
Anti-fungal pills, which include some risks of liver damage, have been show to work less that half the time and topical treatments, such as prescription toenail lacquers, have success rates as low as 10%.

Laser can also be used to treat certain sports injuries such as Achilles tendonitis and ankle sprains. The laser accelerates healing by increasing blood flow to the injured area.
Laser treatments for injuries may be as few as one to two sessions or require several depending on the depth and degree of the injury but may require more. you can call to get your consultation and treatment the same day. there is only minor heat associated with the treatment.
