St. Louis Podiatrist Offers New System For Treatment Of Nail Fungus, Veins And Hair Removal

    ST. LOUIS, MO, July 01, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- To further treat his patients toenail fungus in St. Louis, Dr. Richard Wittock is proud to offer the Fotona Laser System, which is now available at the Ankle and Foot Institute. Dr. Wittock, St. Louis podiatrist, is excited to offer this new revolutionary treatment for toenail fungus with success rates of nearly 90% in mild to moderate infections.

"As many people are taking their feet out of hiding to enjoy the beautiful summer weather and beaches, they may notice their feet are not as healthy as they want them to be," said Dr. Richard Wittock, podiatrist in St. Louis. "With the Fotona Laser System I can now help my patients say goodbye to embarrassing toenail fungus so that they can enjoy a summer of healthy, happy feet."

If patients suffer from toenail fungus, topical medications typically do not seem to work to clear a fungal nail infection. However, they do offer protection to a healthy nail from fungus development. At Ankle and Foot Institute, patients can now eliminate St. Louis toenail fungus with the help of the Fotona Laser.

The Fotona laser works simply by targeting the fungal organism on the nail bed and within the nail plate. The heat kills the fungus, resulting in a fungal cure of the nail. Once the nail is cured of the infection, a new, healthy nail will grow in its place. Laser treatment for nail fungus in St. Louis may be appropriate for patients that want to get rid of the problem once and for all, want to avoid the hassle of an ongoing regimen of ointments and creams with limited effectiveness, and want to stop taking prescription medicine.

In just 30 minutes or less, the Fotona-St. Louis laser treatment for nail fungus-can treat the pathogens that cause nail fungus. Safe, and without discomfort, this laser has shown a 90% effective rate in a mild to moderate infection compared to leading prescription topical treatments that only provide an 8% effective rate after months of treatment.

Patients that suffer from toenail fungus, veins and are searching for hair removal, are encouraged to talk to Dr. Wittock, podiatrist in St. Louis, MO, for more information on the Fotona Laser System and how it can permanently eliminate toenail fungus, veins and hair removal.
