Winter’s coming, and while we bundle up to stay warm, our feet often pay the price. Trapped in damp socks and shoes, they become a breeding ground for toenail fungus.
If you’ve tried over-the-counter remedies or topical medications with little success, you’re not alone. Many people find these treatments offer temporary relief but fail to address the root cause of the problem.
In this blog post, the team at New England Podiatry wants to tell you about an option that actually works: PinPointe Laser Treatments!
The Frustration of Recurrence
Topical treatments fall short because they can’t penetrate the nail plate to reach the underlying fungus.
- With a paltry success rate of 10-15%, they’re a sure route to frustration and recurrence.
Oral medications can be effective, but they come with potential side effects and may not be suitable for everyone.
- Even worse, a 30-60% success rate is only possible with strict adherence.
PinPointe Laser: A Targeted Solution
The PinPointe Laser offers a revolutionary approach to treating toenail fungus.
- This FDA-cleared laser technology targets and destroys the fungus that causes the infection without harming the surrounding nail or skin!
Here’s how it works:
- The laser light penetrates the nail plate and reaches the fungus embedded within it.
- The laser energy heats and destroys the fungal cells, effectively killing the infection.
- The healthy nail is left to grow back, free from the unsightly effects of the fungus.
Advantages of PinPointe Laser Treatment:
- High Success Rate: Clinical studies have shown that PinPointe Laser treatment has a success rate of 70-80% in eliminating toenail fungus, often with just one or two treatments.
- Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is typically well-tolerated. No anesthesia, minimal discomfort, and no downtime.
- Safe and Effective: The laser targets the fungus specifically, leaving the surrounding healthy tissue unharmed.
