Many patients wish that there was a safe, easy, and effective way to get rid of embarrassing nail fungus. Fortunately, advanced technologies enable Dr. Nordyke to treat this unsightly, common infection, safely and easily.
The CoolTouch® Nail Fungus Laser is the latest breakthrough medical technology that is proven effective to eliminate toenail fungus. The CoolTouch® Laser is State of the Art in Laser Technology, for nail fungus treatment. The CoolTouch® Laser offers significant advantages over other lasers, and significant advantages over oral medication for nail fungus.
The CoolTouch® Laser works by penetrating through the nail with an invisible beam of laser light to the fungus layer, heating and eliminating the destructive pathogens while revitalizing the nail. The laser is so sophisticated that it can detect and reach the proper target temperature set by the doctor leading to death of the fungus. The treatment then stops instantly, followed by a cool spray. While powerful, the CoolTouch® laser does not harm the healthy surrounding tissue or the nail growth plate, and there is no discomfort either during or after the treatment. Bottom line, the CoolTouch® laser is a highly effective treatment for fungal nails producing substantial results in a shorter period of time with minimal recovery for the patient.
It is recommended that the CoolTouch® laser nail fungus treatment is performed in two to three sessions with a one month interval in between. Dr. Nordyke feels that this is extremely important, as there are different growth phases of the nail and fungus, and best results occur when the patient receives at least two treatments.
Dr. Nordyke feels that the CoolTouch® laser is superior to all other advancements for fungal toenails. However, patients need to follow a comprehensive maintenance regimen to prevent recurrence of the toenail infection. One thing to note is that results depend greatly on patient’s compliance and also how fast your toenails grow. A remarkable difference may be seen in as little as a few weeks, in addition to new toenail growth which may be noticed after the treatments. He also notes that while success rates are high, no treatment can guarantee success all of the time.
Dr. Nordyke has performed many laser procedures to date and continues to research ways to take the standard laser protocol to the next level for his patients. Dr. Nordyke has developed his own advanced technique with the CoolTouch® laser to improve the success of treatments. There are many variables in a treatment. The fungus is destroyed by heat and also by exposure to mid-infrared light. When settings are optimized this light causes inactivation of the genetics or DNA of the fungus. Dr. Nordyke has also developed his own unique nail fungus treatment protocol, called the Tri-Lase procedure, to take advantage of this fungus inactivation, adding great benefit for the patient.
The laser mentioned here has been FDA cleared for podiatry, dermatology and general surgery use. So they are appropriate for toenail treatments if proven worthy by your doctor. Dr. Nordyke is a podiatrist that specializes in advanced technologies and treatment for his patients. In addition, Dr. Nordyke provides compassionate care for all foot problems.
