When the laser is placed against the skin, photons of light penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. This energy results in the restoration of normal cell function. The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions but at an enhanced rate. Class IV Lasers increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue that speed up the healing process, close wounds quickly and reduce scar tissue. Laser therapy decreases painful swelling because it causes blood vessels to expand, creating a “drainage system” which helps to alleviate inflammation.
Fungal nail affects millions of people.
While many find the condition to simply be an eye sore, fungal nails can lead to a larger complication including:
- infection of other toenails
- infecting friends and family
- increased pain
- ingrown toenails
Individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to fungal nails due to compromised immune systems.
Laser therapy offers an effective, safe option for treating fungal toenails without the side effects of many oral medications.
Warts on the bottom of your feet (plantar warts) might be initially mistaken for calluses; however, they usually become much more painful and begin to spread, becoming a cluster of warts. They can also be contagious to family members who share “foot space” with you and come in contact with the virus.
Wart removal is not only challenging, but it is often very painful. With The Remy Laser, we can ablate plantar warts without pain.
Additionally, lasers stimulate our immune systems, which is critical to fighting the virus that causes warts – the human papaillomavirus (HPV).
