At Laser Nail Therapy in Dobbs Ferry, NY our foot doctors use the PinPointe YAG Laser. It heats the nail plate and kills the fungus and fungal spores inside and under the nails.
How does the treatment work?
After the consultation, the doctor will go over each of your nails with the laser light in a grid pattern. The laser light wavelength targets the fungus, causing the fungus to die due to heat damage. Since the laser light targets the fungus it will not hurt the nail or surrounding skin. Treatment is painless for most patients, usually only a slight warming sensation or a pinprick is felt.
In more severe cases, prior to the laser treatment, the doctor will file the nail down to make it as thin as possible. This makes the treatment more effective for nails that are very thick.

What should I do before Laser Nail Therapy treatment in Dobbs Ferry?
We ask our patients to remove all the nail polish and nail decorations the day before treatment. This is important so the doctor can properly diagnose you. Bring a clean pair of socks to change into after your laser nail treatment appointment if wearing closed-toe shoes.
How many treatments will I need to get rid of my toenail fungus?
In most cases, only one treatment is needed. Thick or severely infected nails can require additional treatments to clear up. If more than one treatment is necessary, patients who purchased our post-treatment-care products package will be given a discount for their next treatment within 1 year.
What is the best way to treat Toenail Fungus?
If you have caught nail fungus, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser, which typically only takes one treatment. Other treatments like topical solutions and oral medication are not as effective. Topical solutions have a very low cure rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed. This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. You would need to have consistent blood tests throughout the course of taking the medication.
Our Toenail Fungus Specialists at Laser Nail Therapy in Dobbs Ferry recommend this treatment for toenail fungus. The PinPointe Laser treatment has the highest cure rate in the market. It has no side effects and no recovery period. As a result, you can go about your daily activities right after the treatment. Also, there’s no pain.
