Clearer, Healthier Looking Nails
PinPointe FootLaser is the first clinically proven laser device for the temporary increase of clear nails in patients with onychomycosis or nail fungus.
Toenail fungus is more than a cosmetic concern—it can progressively worsen and affect comfort, mobility, and confidence. As the infection advances, nails often become thicker, brittle, and discolored, making everyday activities uncomfortable and footwear choices limited. Laser treatment offers a modern solution designed to address the infection without the risks associated with long-term medication use.
The Pinpointe FootLaser
Stop suffering the pain and embarrassment of unsightly toenail fungus. PinPointe FootLaser is an easy and convenient treatment that helps turn discolored and disfigured nails into clearer, healthier looking nails. Safe and effective, this in-office treatment is pain-free, has no harmful side effects, and typically takes only about 30 minutes to complete. It is the first clinically proven laser device for the temporary increase of clear nails in patients with onychomycosis, or nail fungus. Toenail infection can cause permanent deformity of the nail, which can interfere with your ability to wear shoes, walk, participate in sports, and perform other activities.
The PinPointe FootLaser was developed specifically to target fungal organisms living within and beneath the nail plate. Unlike traditional treatments that struggle to penetrate the nail, this laser technology works directly at the source of the infection. Because the procedure is performed in-office and requires no recovery time, patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Nail fungus is an embarrassing chronic condition that impacts your quality of life and can lead to serious health problems for those with diabetes or immune disorders. Nail infection can start as a result of a family history of susceptibility, increasing age, poor health, nail trauma, warm or moist climates, exposure to infected nails in sports/ fitness and communal bathing areas, and tight shoes.
For patients with diabetes or compromised circulation, untreated nail fungus can increase the risk of secondary infections and skin breakdown. Early and effective treatment is especially important in these cases to maintain overall foot health and reduce complications.
The treatment of nail infection is difficult because the infection is under and inside the nail, making it hard for other treatments to reach and destroy the infection. Treatments such as medicated nail polish or oral medications may be associated with side effects or serious drug interactions. Home remedies such as using bleach, vinegar, mouthwash, or household cleaners to resolve the problem are often tried but, ultimately, fail to resolve it.
Laser therapy addresses this challenge by penetrating the nail plate safely, allowing targeted energy to reach fungal pathogens without damaging surrounding tissue. This makes laser treatment an attractive option for patients who cannot tolerate oral medications or who have not seen results with topical therapies.
BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Nail Fungus?
- Yellow streaks in the skin under the nail, or nail bed, and on the underside of the nail
• Buildup of bits and pieces of skin and nail fragments under the nail
• Discolored and thickened nail that may separate from the skin under the nail
• Brittle, broken, and thickened nails
• White spots or streaks on the nail surface
• Soft and powdery nail surface, which appears as the infection worsens
• Damaged, crumbly, and brown or gray nail surface, with no separation of the nail from the underlying skin
Symptoms often begin subtly and progress slowly. Many patients delay treatment until the nail becomes painful or visibly distorted. Addressing the infection earlier can improve outcomes and reduce the risk of spread to other nails.
HOW DOES THE LASER WORK?
This patented laser is specially designed to shine through your toenail and destroy the specific pathogens embedded in and under your nail that cause the infection. Unlike other laser toenail fungal treatments that are used for skin or pain treatments, the PinPointe™ laser is designed and used for only one purpose: to safely destroy molds and bacteria that cause fungal nail infections (Onychomycosis).
The laser energy selectively targets fungal organisms while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. Because the treatment does not rely on medication, there is no risk of systemic side effects or drug interactions.
IS THIS LASER PAINFUL?
The gentle laser light beam has no effect on healthy tissue. There is no pain, but some patients may experience temporary warmth in the nail during treatment. This treatment does not harm or affect your activity in any way.
Most patients describe the procedure as comfortable and quick. No anesthesia is required, and normal activities can be resumed immediately following treatment.
DOES IT REALLY WORK?
The PinPointe™ laser is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of nail fungus. In the latest clinical study, 81% of all patients treated sustained a clear nail improvement at 12 months after a single treatment. After one 30-minute treatment, the nail plate should grow out clear in 8-12 months if there is a healthy nail bed. This result is better than the results reported for the oral pill, Lamisil, which you take for three months with some risk of side effects.
Because toenails grow slowly, visible improvement occurs gradually as healthy nail replaces the damaged portion. Follow-up care and proper foot hygiene help support long-term results.
IS THIS TREATMENT SAFE?
There are no age or health restrictions or limitations. In clinical studies, there have been no adverse reactions, injuries, disabilities, or known side effects. As you may know, the oral medications now used to treat toenails must be taken daily for months and carry with them some side effects that can affect the liver, kidneys, and skin. This laser does not. Some lasers need to be cooled with a spray because of the heat buildup, or they are so low-powered, they do not kill the fungus. The Pinpointe laser is safe and effective.
Laser treatment is particularly appealing for patients who cannot take oral antifungal medications due to medical conditions or medication interactions.
DOES MY INSURANCE PAY FOR THIS?
Because this treatment is considered aesthetic, health insurance plans do not cover this treatment. We accept major credit cards and personal checks. We also offer payment plans for 6 to 18 months through Care Credit.
Our staff will review all costs and financing options during your consultation so there are no surprises.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The cost of the laser nail treatment starts from $299 and depends on the number of infected toenails. There is a consultation with the doctor to see if you are a candidate for the treatment, and that fee can be billed to your insurance. The treatment fee also includes any necessary nail preparation, post-treatment counseling, and a follow-up visit to check your results.
The best results are obtained when the laser treatment is applied to all of the toenails on both feet, even the ones that appear uninfected. This creates an environment free of toenail fungus and reduces the chance of reinfection. If the infection is resistant or the nails have not responded with clear growth, you may need another laser nail treatment in Brooklyn, NY. Best Foot Doctor NY also offers laser nail therapy in Queens and Manhattan.
Treating all toenails proactively helps minimize reinfection and improves long-term outcomes.
