Fungus Nails Laser Treatments

Are you sick of your thick discolored nails? You want to avoid strong medicines that can cause damage to your liver? Are you tired of liquids and creams that are applied in time, with bad results?

Finally, you can get rid of its faded and cracked toenail fungus or onychomycosis with the latest laser techniques. Although lasers can be scary for some, using all days for cosmetic procedures with a high energy light.

Although there are several inventions laser are available, Dr. Marc Katz, a podiatrist in Tampa, has done his homework. Before jumping into the various technologies necessary to consider all possibilities and find the most effective solution for their patients, treatment is not the most popular and better marketing.

He said no laser start identify for several reasons. PinPoint A laser is designed primarily for dental care, adapted to capture a new market, nails. Thus, the design and treatment is not optimal. PinPoint has a small spot size that can cause a problem known as stacking. The stack is the overlap of the beam laser in the same area that can lead to burns and damage. small spot size can also lead to loss of process areas. Mr. Katz also did not the fact that proceedings are conducted without any control on the road or outside the desired temperature for killing fungi and this treatment leads to results incompatible with poorly controlled.

In addition, the beam was not accompanied by cooling to avoid damage surrounding tissues. The only current treatment is controversial Pinpoint. All indications are that effective, two or three treatments are needed and the best for the patient. The treatment protocol is only due to the fact that the doctor was charged each time the laser light, only in the best interest of the patient.

Initially, a comparison was made between the lasers and PinPoint Noveon. With more research, promising options became clear that the combined treatment of superior security features. While Noveon was promising, has not his first approval from the FDA for onychomycosis and found financial problems. In addition, some of the lower wave lengths had mixed results and security with higher costs of Noveon Procedure. To date, the Noveon is not available, but may in the future. Should also noted that the laser was originally developed in dental procedures. All lasers listed here were approved by the FDA for podiatry, dermatology and use in general surgery. So they are suitable for nail treatment if deemed necessary by your doctor.

As the investigation proceeded, Dr. Katz liked CoolTouch CT3 and laser photo one of the lasers more sophisticated on the market today, with a roadmap. The CoolTouch offers several types of treatment for many skin problems. Dr. Katz notes that the feet are a simple modification of the skin, so that the laser CoolTouch is a perfect fit. He also liked the wavelength of the beam and to feel superior the nail penetrated the thick disk may be safer and treated with different wavelength. In addition, there are added features that enhance the appearance of the nail resurfacing, similar to skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. CoolTouch is one aspect.

The CoolTouch Coolbreeze CT3Plus 1320 nm laser produces energy that is absorbed by water and particularly water associated with collagen in the tissues of the nail matrix. The laser is so sophisticated that can detect and achieve the right temperature enacted by the doctor causes the death of the fungus. The processing is automatically stopped and then the nail cools spray. This allows the killing of fungi without damaging the skin or the surface of the nail growth. CoolTouch impeccable safety because of its incorporation cooling pulse and feedback in real time time-temperature treatments. In addition, the handpiece Coolbreeze uses adjustable spot size of 3 mm to 10 mm allowing adjustment for the size of the nail for best results. Other lasers are currently used do not take into account these important features for patients to achieve results under desirable, and minimum security. CoolTouch The laser can be completely controlled. The temperature treatment to kill the fungus can occur automatically that the incorporation of safety. Each patient can receive a personalized service with the best possible results. This is unique.

Mr. Katz noted that other lasers take 30 minutes to the treatment compared to the more efficient CoolTouch which only takes about 15 minutes. Dr. Katz recommends two treatments and think it is extremely important. There are different stages of growth of nail fungus and the best results occur when the patient receives a minimum of two treatments. The cost of the two treatments with the CoolTouch is generally the same or less, compared to a single laser treatment identify. This is probably beneficial to the patient.

Katz believes that laser is superior to all other treatments for toenail fungus. However, patients need to follow a comprehensive maintenance program to prevent the recurrence of foot infection. He also noted that, although success rate is high, no treatment can guarantee success every time. Dr. Katz should talk to your doctor about the results and means prevent recurrences.

Thus, the jury is still out, Katz said, but in his view, the CoolTouch is clearly light years Noveon Pinpoint and lasers.
