Onychomycosis: ClearSteps™ Laser Onychomycosis Treatment
Fotona’s ClearSteps™ Onychomycosis treatment is a patient friendly method for treating onychomycosis (toenail fungus). It uses the power of Nd:YAG laser light to heat evenly throughout the depth of the affected nail and skin tissue, effectively weakening and killing parasitic fungi which have infected the patient’s nail. The natural growth and immune processes of the body are then able to restore the nail to its pristine state.
ClearSteps™ is performed in three simple steps:
1st step: File down the nail which allows laser light to fully penetrate into the treatment site
2nd step: Administer Nd:YAG laser pulses in a circular pattern covering the entire nail. Patient should feel a slight heating sensation throughout the nail
3rd step: Target Nd:YAG laser pulses around the perimeter of the nail bed and around the finger or toe to reach the parasitic fungus that has worked its way beyond the nail bed and into the tissue.
ClearSteps™ treatment is performed four times at one week intervals. All nails should be treated during every treatment.
