In addition, Dr. Uro also uses the PinPointe™FootLaser™ laser system to treat this persistent problem. He is proud to have been one of the first podiatrists in the country to use the PinPointe™ FootLaser™ which was the first laser technology to receive official FDA clearance for the treatment of toenail fungus (onychomycosis). 

Dr. Uro worked with PinPointe USA from the beginning of the technology, and assisted in gathering the data used in the clinical study. In addition, Dr. Uro has trained podiatrists all over the world in the correct use of the PinPointe™ laser to effectively treat even severe cases of toenail fungus.

About the Cutera GenesisPlus™ Laser

GenesisPlus™ is a new laser system designed to safely and effectively treat toenail fungus. By targeting the fungus, GenesisPlus™ gets to the source of the problem immediately. Tiny pulses of light from the GenesisPlus™ laser pass through the toenail to the fungus underneath. The fungus is irradiated without any damage to the surrounding nail or skin.

Treatment course includes three treatments with treatments taking approximately 10-20 minutes. Most people feel a slight warming sensation during the procedure. No pain medication is needed and most people find the treatment very easy to tolerate.

About the PinPointe™ Laser

The PinPointe™ laser is a specially designed, medical device that shines a laser/light beam through your toenail and vaporizes the pathogens embedded in your nail bed and nail plate that cause toenail fungus. The laser light beam does not harm the nail or surrounding skin. While some patients may experience mild discomfort from the heat the laser generates, usually the treatment is painless, and there is never a need for anesthesia.

In the thousands of patients we have treated there have been NO adverse reactions, injuries, disabilities or known side effects associated with laser treatment. On average, our appointments last less than an hour and the vast majority of our patients require only one treatment.

As you may know, oral medication available today for treating toenail fungus carries with it possible serious health risks (commonly the liver and kidneys).
