HOW DOES THE LASER TREATMENT WORK?
The PinPointe FootLaser is a new treatment for toenail fungal infections that kills the fungus that lives in and under the toenail in just one session.  The laser light passes through the toenail without causing damage to the nail or the surrounding skin. At the time of the procedure, the toenail will not become instantly clear, it takes time to grow out.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN THE DOCTORS OFFICE?
A consultation with your doctor, the procedure to be performed and any follow-up visits as prescribed by your doctor.

IS THE PROCEDURE PAINFUL?
Most people feel no pain. Some people feel a warming sensation and very few feel a pinprick.

IS THERE A RECOVERY PERIOD?
No. Just walk in and walk out.

HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
The FootLaser procedure takes less than 30 minutes.

DOES IT REALLY WORK?
Clinical studies to date reveal that over 88% of treated patients for toenail fungal infections show significant improvement. In most cases, fungus-infected nails are completely cured after one laser treatment.

WILL THE FUNGUS COME BACK?
The fungus is killed after one treatment and typically the doctor recommends care techniques to reduce recurrence of the fungal infection. There is a chance of reinfection because fungus is present everywhere in the environment.

WHEN CAN I PAINT MY NAILS OR HAVE A PEDICURE?
You can apply nail polish immediately after the treatment. It is important to remove all nail polish and nail decorations the day before your treatment.

HOW DO I PAY FOR THE TREATMENT
Credit cards, cash and money orders are all accepted. You may also use your Medical IRA, Health Savings or Flexible Spending Account.

IS THIS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE?
If you have a Health Savings Account or Medical IRA, 100% of the cost can be covered. However, in most situations, this procedure is considered aesthetic and therefore health insurance plans do not provide coverage.

WHO DEVELOPED THIS LASER PROCEDURE?
Leading scientists and medical professionals working together for 20 years with funding provided by the National Institutes of Health developed the technology in the patented PinPointe FootLaser.

IS IT FDA CLEARED?
Yes, it is cleared by the FDA.
