Fotona’s ClearSteps™ Onychomycosis Treatment is a revolutionary, patient-friendly method for treating onychomycosis (toenail fungus). It is a simple and effective procedure that uses the power of Nd:YAGlaser light to heat evenly throughout the depth of the effected nail and skin tissue, effectively weakening and killing parasitic fungi which have infected the patient's nails.
Safe and Effective, Without Side-Effects
Deep, pulse-profile heating of the nail bed stimulates the killing of parasitic fungus. The natural growth and immune processes of the body are then able to restore the nail to its pristine state. Compared to traditional methods, the effects of laser light spread evenly throughout the tissue and are not subject to either the limits of chemical diffusion (as are topicals) or the induction of hepatoxic side effects (as is the case with oral medications).
ClearSteps™ is Performed in Three Simple Steps:
The ClearSteps™treatment is usually performed four times, at one week intervals. All of the nails should be treated during every treatment. Laser light can also effectively treat fungus which has infected skin tissue.
Warts
The virus that causes warts is resistant to various treatments and can be difficult to eradicate and no treatment can guarantee permanent results. Laser treatment is one of many treatment options for warts but is not in-expensive. The Nd:Yag laser targets the blood supply of the wart while the Erbium:Yag laser can ablate the wart layer by layer until it is (we hope) gone. We recommend you first discuss your various other wart treatment options with your primary care physician, to determine which may be best for you.
