There are many other different types of lasers. Very few of them are appropriate for toenail fungus. In this tough economy there are doctors that will use any laser sitting in their office on toenail fungus. As you now know toenail fungus requires specialized equipment to be effective. It is a fact that most lasers are NOT FDA cleared for toenail fungus. Be careful of the doctor's wording because FDA cleared does not equal FDA cleared for toenail fungus! Also of the few FDA cleared for toenail fungus lasers, some are much better than others!

If you choose the wrong laser you will see no improvement and you will have to repeat the procedure again with the correct or better equipment! We specialize in this specific problem and treat it thoroughly and completely with the correct, best and strongest equipment

​The procedure takes less than a half hour and, while results aren't immediate, the toenail will grow out normally in nine to 12 months, in most cases. PathoLase said its laser is 88 percent effective, which it claims is better than anything else on the market. Rafferty is willing to pay for normal-looking toes. "I'm just really excited to see what the results are. This is fantastic," she said. ​

Introduced in 2008, PinPointe FootLaser uses a patented laser technology to target the pathogens that cause toenail fungus. With PinPointe FootLaser, patients are treated safely and quickly with no drugs, no anesthesia and no pain. PinPointe's laser light passes through the toenail without causing damage to the nail or surrounding skin. Following the procedure, the new nail will grow in healthy and clear."

PinPointe FootLaser Receives FDA Clearance for the Treatment of Onychomycosis PinPointe USA, Inc., a leader in podiatric light-based therapy, announced today that the PinPointe FootLaser treatment received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of nail fungus (onychomycosis). "PinPointe submitted clinical evidence to the FDA demonstrating that after a single treatment, between 68 percent and 81 percent of patients experienced increased clear nail at six and 12 months, and 81 percent of all patients had sustained improvement at 12 months," says John Strisower, founder and Chief Executive Officer of PinPointe.

"Commented Brian McDowell, DPM also from Sacramento, "Response to our initial advertising announcing the availability of this wonderful technology has been overwhelming. Patients are thrilled that the medical technology industry has finally developed a sophisticated laser system that kills the pathogens that cause toenail fungus quickly and efficiently. I have had patients call their friends and family from my examining room encouraging them to make their own appointments immediately. We've never seen a public response like this to new drugs or ointments that treat toenail fungus. Nor have we ever had a solution with PinPointe's high rate of success to offer our patients."​

"Toenail fungus is an incredibly embarrassing, chronic condition affecting millions of people worldwide that genuinely impacts a person's quality of life. For some with diabetes or immune disorders, nail fungus can lead to serious health problems," said Dr. Adam Landsman, Assistant Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School and Chief of the Division of Podiatric Surgery at Cambridge Hospital in Massachusetts. "With the clearance of the PinPointe FootLaser, patients finally have a pain-free treatment option that is more successful than topically applied antifungal drugs, safer than oral medication, and less painful than surgical removal of the nail."
