Medical information for healthcare professionals

We are happy to receive professional referrals for treatment of your patients. The PinPointe FootLaser treatment is particularly useful for children and young adults who could not tolerate Lamasil and for those patients who have experienced side effects with oral medication or who have liver disease. There are many people who are not keen on taking systemic medication with known side effect risks, requiring blood tests, for cosmetic purposes. There are also many directives from Primary Care Trusts and other bodies who discourage or prohibit the use of antifungal treatment for onychomycosis.

NIH funded doctors and scientists have spent better than two years of research to develop the PinPointe FootLaser device and procedure. The study presented as part of the CE certification showed an 88% success rate. There is also a separate 48 week, 120+ patient, multi-site study being conducted by some of the world’s most experienced medical experts in the area of toenail fungus. Initial results are due at the beginning of 2010.

In addition there are a large number of Podiatrists in the USA who have been successfully using the PinPointe FootLaser since mid-2008. They have seen excellent clinical results in their patients. As an example, Dr. Michael Uro in Sacramento, CA has treated many hundreds of patients with fungal toenail infections and has achieved better than 85% success in nail clearance.
