PinPointe Laser = Your Fast Fungal Nail Fix!

Fungal toenail infections are common, but that doesn’t make them easier to deal with! In fact, they can be surprisingly stubborn, and they’re difficult to treat with over-the-counter remedies or traditional topicals.

Fortunately, Kentlands Foot & Ankle Center is here to help! We’re proud to offer the advanced PinPointe™ FootLaser®, an FDA-cleared technology designed to effectively and safely treat nail fungus. Read on to learn more about how PinPointe works and the special offers we use to provide it to patients in need.

Why Traditional Treatments Can Be a Long Road

Many patients try other methods without success:

• Topical Creams & Polishes: Often struggle to effectively penetrate the hard nail plate to reach the fungus underneath. They typically require months of diligent, consistent application.
• Oral Antifungal Medications: While sometimes effective, these can carry potential systemic side effects and may require monitoring with blood tests.

A Modern, Targeted Approach

The PinPointe FootLaser is a breakthrough, offering a significant advantage by targeting the fungus directly where it lives. Three core steps are involved:

1. Delivery of Targeted Light Energy: The PinPointe device delivers a patented laser light through the toenail.
2. Destruction of the Fungus: This specific light wavelength is absorbed by the pigment in the fungal organisms. The energy gently heats and destroys the fungus without harming the surrounding healthy nail or skin.
3. Stimulation of Healthy Growth: By eliminating the fungus, the laser allows new, clear nail to grow!

It’s more than a Band-Aid or a cosmetic solution; rather, it’s a precise, focused treatment that can eradicate the infection at its source!

The PinPointe Advantage

Choosing PinPointe laser therapy offers numerous benefits:

• Clinically Proven & FDA Cleared: A trusted technology for onychomycosis.
• Safe & Virtually Painless: Generally well-tolerated, with most feeling only a mild warming sensation. No anesthesia is required.
• No Side Effects: Unlike oral medications, there are no systemic side effects.
• Quick & Convenient: Treatment for all affected nails usually takes about 30 minutes or less.
• No Downtime: Resume normal daily activities immediately. No recovery period needed!
• Often Just One Treatment: Many patients see significant improvement after just one session, though some may require additional treatments depending on severity.
