Frequently Asked Questions
How does the laser work?
The laser is a specially designed, patented device that shines through your
toenail and vaporizes the fungus embedded in your nail bed and nail plate that causes toenail fungus. The laser is tuned to a frequency that effects only those cells responsible for the nail infection
Is this laser treatment painful?
The laser light beam has no effect on healthy tissue.
Patients should experience no discomfort during or after the treatment.
How long does the treatment take?
It takes approximately 10 minutes to treat a big toe.
Naturally, if you have more than one toe infected, it may take a little longer. The vast majority of our patients require only one treatment.
Does it really work?
Our clinical studies to date reveal that over 88% of treated patients show significant improvement.
In most cases the nail fungus pathogen is completely eliminated.
How soon will I see improvement?
On average, a toenail will replace itself every 6 to 9 months.
Healthy new growth will be visible within the first 3 months. However, follow up treatment with TNT Cream has shown
an increase of up to 100% in the speed of healthy nail replacement.
Is this treatment safe?
Yes. In our clinical studies there have been no adverse reactions, injuries, disabilities or known side effects.
As you may know, the use of medication available today for treatment of fungus nails carries with
it possible systemic involvement (commonly the liver and kidney). This laser treatment does not.
Do I have to take any drugs as part of the treatment?
No. No drugs or topical ointments are required. Some doctors may prescribe topical or oral medication in conjunction with treatment depending on your situation and their diagnosis.
Can I walk after the treatment?
Yes, you will be able to walk out of the office just as well as you walked in.
The treatment does not harm you in any way.
Does my insurance pay for this?
Currently this procedure is not included as a health insurance benefit; however,
the initial foot consultation is free. Insurance plans consider this procedure a cosmetic or aesthetic procedure and therefore do not provide coverage.
If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA), Medical Individual Retirement Account (Medical IRA) or other Flexible Medical Spending Accounts (Medical FSA), you can pay for the procedure with these funds. Otherwise, payment can be made with cash, credit or debit card.
