Podiatrist In San Mateo Eliminates Toenail Fungus With Innovative Procedure

    SAN MATEO, CA, June 03, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Summer is a time when many people will hit the beaches, or sport a favorite pair of flip flops or sandals. However, when toenail fungus is present it can often hinder a person's summertime fun. To help patients enjoy the summer weather without embarrassing toenail fungus, Dr. David Kaplan, podiatrist in San Mateo, of Foot Care Specialists, Inc. is happy to offer CoolTouch laser treatment.

The best way to eliminate toenail fungus is to visit Dr. David Kaplan at Foot Care Specialists, Inc. Dr. Kaplan, San Mateo podiatrist, is available to advise patients on the best treatment methods for removing toenail fungus and preventing it from coming back. Toenail fungus that persists and become painful can result in more serious health conditions and loss of the nail, so it's important to seek professional care right away at the first signs of a serious infection.

"A multitude of factors can cause fungal infections in your toenails. And knowing how to prevent this infection from forming is the first step to getting rid of this annoying foot condition. However, when toenail fungus does form, CoolTouch is available as a non-invasive way to eliminate toenail fungus," said Dr. David Kaplan, podiatrist in San Mateo, CA.

San Mateo CoolTouch laser is a non-invasive laser treatment for fungal toenails. The advanced CoolTouch laser emits a brief but gentle burst of light into the targeted area. The laser energy heats the infected tissue creating an environment where fungus cannot survive. Even though some toenails may be infected, the laser treatment is performed on all 10 toenails since it is the nature of this disease to spread and infect other healthy tissues.

A patient's toenails will be cleaned and filed prior to the treatment with the CoolTouch laser in San Mateo. As each toenail is treated with the laser, patients will feel a mild, warming sensation immediately followed by a burst of cooling cryogen spray as the laser beam penetrates the toenail, instantly killing the fungus underneath. Patients may return to normal activities immediately after treatment and results will show after toenails grow over a 9 to 12 month period.

Dr. Kaplan maintains his goal of helping patients maintain healthy feet and a better outlook on foot care through the introduction of the CoolTouch laser treatment for the removal of toenail fungus in San Mateo.
