Nail fungus treatment with PinPointe Laser is the recommended treatment option. The PinPointe FootLaser is the first FDA-cleared laser for the treatment of Onychomycosis (nail fungus).

How does laser treatment does work?

Treatment with this laser achieves an 85% success just after one treatment. The doctor will go over each nail with the laser light in a grid pattern.
