Our laser!




We are proud to announce the addition of  our Hyper Blue 1500 diode laser, FDA approved and clinically proven to increase the growth of clear nails in patients with onychomycosis (nail fungus). While fungal nails can be unsightly and embarrassing, you are not alone!!!  It is estimated that 25-30 million Americans  suffer from over 200 types of nail fungus and,  until recently, have had difficulty finding successful treatment options. 
 Below you will find commonly asked  questions (and answers!)  regarding what the laser can do for YOU!!!

How does the laser work? Your Podiatrist will provide a consultation, laser treatment of fungal nails, as well as any follow up appointments that may be needed. Additionally, he will provide care techniques, including prevention education, to help reduce the recurrence of infection.  The laser beam helps to promote new and healthy nail growth. Patients may receive up to 3 treatments to the affected area(s).  The nail does not instantly become clear at the time of the procedure, but will grow in CLEAR and HEALTHY. The success rate of using the laser, in conjunction with a topical antifungal, as a treatment of onychomycosis is approximately 80%.

How long does laser treatment take? One of the many benefits of the Hyper Blue Diode Laser is how fast it is. You can expect  treatment  of all 10 toes in just 15 minutes!   And the best part…..no recovery time.  Just walk in and walk out!

Is treatment painful? The HyperBlue 1500 diode laser delivers results with minimal patient discomfort.  Most patients report they don’t feel any pain, while a percentage describe a warming sensation.

Can I paint my nails or have a pedicure after laser treatment? Yes! You can leave the office and go straight to the salon! There are no contraindications involving the laser and nail polish. It is necessary, however, to remove all polish prior to having the laser treatment.


Please feel free to contact Your Podiatrist with any further questions about how YOU can benefit from the Hyper Blue laser TODAY!!!
