Toenail Fungal (Onychomycosis))

Fotona’s ClearSteps™ Onychomycosis Treatment is considered a patient-friendly method for treating onychomycosis (toenail fungal) and warts. It is a simple and effective procedure that uses the power of Nd:YAG laser light to heat evenly throughout the depth of the affected nail and skin tissue, weakening. It is also helpful in killing parasitic fungi which are the reason for infection in the patient's nails.

​

Safe and Effective, Without Side-Effects

 

The killing of parasitic fungus is stimulated by the deep, pulse-profile heating of the nail bed. This further enables the natural growth and immune processes of your body to restore your nail to its pristine state. In comparison to the traditional methods, the effects of laser light spread evenly throughout the tissue. These effects are not subject to the limits of chemical diffusion such as are topicals or the induction of hepatoxic side effects which is the case with oral medications.

​

ClearSteps™ is Performed in Three Simple Steps:

​

Step 1: File down the Nail. During the process of onychomycosis, the affected nail will become deformed and overgrown, and may even thicken. Filing down the nail enables the laser light to  penetrate completely into the treatment site.

Step 2: Regulate Nd:YAG laser pulses covering the entire nail circularly. Overlap the beam slightly so that the nail is covered completely so that the patient feels a slight heating sensation throughout the area.

Step 3: Target Nd:YAG laser pulses around the nail bed’s perimeter and the finger or toe. As in most cases,  parasitic fungus works its way beyond the nail bed, it needs to be eliminated in all the tissue surrounding the affected nail to prevent any recurrence.
