Tired of Painful Ingrown Toenails? A Surgery-Free Solution is Here.

For anyone who has suffered from a painful, curved, or ingrown toenail, the cycle of discomfort is all too familiar. The fear of painful treatments, injections, or even surgery can cause many to simply live with the problem. But what if there was a way to correct the shape of your nail and relieve the pain without any of that?

Kentlands Foot & Ankle Center is proud to introduce the Onyfix® Nail Correction System, an innovative, pain-free solution that restores your toenail to its natural shape! Read the blog below to learn how it works and why it might be right for you.

Who is Onyfix For?

This versatile system is a game-changer for many, but it’s especially beneficial for individuals who are:

• Tired of Recurring Ingrown Toenails: If you’re looking for a solution that addresses the nail’s shape to prevent future pain.
• Anxious About Surgery: Onyfix is a completely non-invasive and pain-free alternative to traditional nail procedures.
• Diabetic or At-Risk: The system is exceptionally safe, making it an ideal choice for patients with diabetes or other conditions where surgery is not recommended.
• Active and On-the-Go: There are absolutely no restrictions on your daily activities after the application.

How Does the Onyfix System Work?

The process is simple, quick, and performed in-office. It uses a hardened composite material to act as a gentle brace, guiding nails into a healthier shape as they grow.

1. Painless Application: The Onyfix composite is carefully applied to your nail, creating a path for it to follow as it grows.
2. Quick Hardening: A special LED light cures the composite in about a minute, fixing the system to your nail without any tension or pressure.
3. Natural Growth: The Onyfix system stays on your nail, ensuring it maintains the corrected shape as it grows out naturally over several months.
4. Simple Removal: Once the correction is complete, the composite is easily removed by our team, and your nail continues to grow naturally.

Clear Fungal Nails with PinPointe FootLaser

Are you hiding your feet because of embarrassing fungal nails? You’re not alone. Millions suffer from onychomycosis, a common fungal infection that can cause thickening, discoloration, and even pain. If you’ve tried over-the-counter treatments with little success, it’s time to consider a more powerful solution: the PinPointe FootLaser. At Kentlands Foot & Ankle Center, we’re proud to offer this advanced technology to help you achieve clear, healthy nails.

Why Choose PinPointe FootLaser?

The PinPointe FootLaser is an FDA-cleared device specifically designed for the treatment of toenail fungus. It offers several advantages over traditional methods:

• Clinically Proven Effectiveness: The PinPointe FootLaser has demonstrated significant success rates in clinical studies. It is a fast and effective treatment option that has been used for many years.
• Targets the Fungus Directly: Unlike topical treatments that struggle to penetrate the nail plate, the PinPointe FootLaser delivers laser energy directly to the source of the infection, beneath the nail.
• Safe and Painless: The procedure is generally painless, requiring no anesthesia and causing no damage to the surrounding tissue. Patients typically feel a warm sensation during the treatment. The laser is safe to use and has no known side effects.
• No Downtime: You can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
• Avoids Systemic Side Effects: Unlike oral antifungal medications, the PinPointe FootLaser has no risk of liver toxicity or other systemic side effects.

How the PinPointe FootLaser Works

The PinPointe FootLaser emits a specially designed laser beam that passes through the toenail and targets the underlying fungal organisms. The laser energy heats and destroys the fungus without harming the surrounding healthy tissue. The procedure is quick, typically taking about 30 minutes to treat both feet. Most patients only require one treatment to achieve their desired result.

What to Expect During Treatment

When you come to Kentlands Foot & Ankle Center for PinPointe FootLaser treatment, you can expect a comfortable and professional experience.

• Consultation: Dr. Jon M. Sherman will thoroughly examine your nails, discuss your medical history, and determine if you’re a good candidate for laser treatment.
• Preparation: Your nails will be cleaned and prepared for the procedure.
• Treatment: The laser will be applied to each affected nail, delivering pulses of energy to target the fungus. You will likely feel a warming sensation as the laser works.
• Post-Treatment Care: We’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your nails after the procedure to maximize results. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

If you’re ready to step out of the shadows and reveal clear, healthy nails, the PinPointe FootLaser may be the solution you’ve been searching for. Get in touch and step toward better health today.
