Toenail Fungus vs. DIY Remedies

When trying to get rid of deep-rooted toenail fungal infections, it is easy for people to waste time, energy, and money attempting to use creams, vinegar baths, or even tea tree oil. Unfortunately, deep-rooted toenail fungal infections do not disappear magically with these do-it-yourself remedies. Therefore, the most reliable solution to this is by receiving proper treatment via the PinPointe laser, giving you clear toenails that are long-lasting.

Why do DIY toenail fungus infection remedies not work?

For the toenail fungal infections to disappear, something has to penetrate the tissue deeper than the surface level. This is because the surface of the toe is not the only area where the infection lies; it is found below the dense layers of nail plate, which is inside the nail bed.
Human toenails consist of thick layers of keratin that are non-porous, specially designed to offer a protective barrier. The shield does not allow any DIY formulas to surpass the surface level of this shield. Additionally, the fungi do not get killed when topical ointments are applied, as the keratin layers are thick. The infection will continue to get worse, and you will waste a lot of your resources in your failure to get rid of the infection.

The Science of PinPointe: Penetrating the shield

  • The PinPointe FootLaser uses a unique light energy to penetrate this physical barrier. It is the first FDA-cleared laser device for nail fungus and is based on different principles of physics to kill pathogens, excluding any pain
  • Proprietary 1064-nm Pulse Train: The system produces a finely tuned 1064-nm Nd: YAG laser beam. This particular wavelength can easily travel through the hard, uninfected keratin nail plate without harming the tissue.
  • Targeted Thermal Destruction: Light energy is delivered directly to the nail bed below. The fungal cells receive this energy by aggressively sucking it inside.
  • Microbial Destruction: The laser creates micro-pulses of high-intensity energy and heats the inside to instantly vaporize the fungal spores, but does not destroy the surrounding skin. Clinical data show that 70% to 85% of patients experience sustained improvement after just one easy, in-office session.

Why Clinical Quality Tops Consumer Devices

Furthermore, inexpensive, battery-powered “at-home laser” devices that are widespread online are medically useless for actually treating toenail fungus infections. The infection can only be removed through continuous high-intensity thermal energy that only an advanced professional system (PinPointe Laser) can safely deliver. Consumer devices lack the power density and micro-pulse technology necessary to safely raise the internal temperature of the nail bed to the therapeutic threshold. Opting for an in-office treatment means you’re getting monitored clinical strength energy that can actually clear the nail plate.
