Podiatrist in St. Louis, MO Offers New Technology for Increased Patient Care

    ST. LOUIS, MO, January 05, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Premier podiatrist in St. Louis, MO, Dr. Richard Wittock, is pleased to offer patients a new treatment for toenail fungus treatment, hair removal, varicose veins, and soft tissue lesion removal. Treatments above the ankle level are available through Dr. Wittock's medical director, Dr. Aisenstat, patients can visit Ankle and Foot Institute to experience treatment with the new Fotona Laser.

"I am proud to announce that the world class Fotona podiatry laser is now available in our office and is ready to treat toenail fungus. This is the only podiatry Fotona laser system in the state of Missouri and we are privileged to provide its services in our office. Not to mention, my medical director is also available to utilize this laser for various treatments of the body," said Dr. Richard Wittock, St. Louis, MO podiatrist.

Ankle and Foot Institute now offers laser treatment for nail fungus in St. Louis with Fotona. The Fotona laser system offers superior laser physics to competing systems and is proven to be the most effective treatment for eliminating toenail fungus, toe hair removal, spider-vein removal, and other treatments.

Topical medications generally do not work to clear a fungal infection, but do offer protection to a healthy nail from fungus development. That leaves three options to eliminate nail fungus: oral antifungal (taking a pill for 3-6 months), surgical removal of the nail, or the third and newest option of St. Louis laser treatment for nail fungus. This is a great option for patients that want to avoid medication and pain commonly associated with nail removal.

"There is nothing else quite like the Fotona laser treatment anywhere on the market today. You can find imitators, with substandard results, but nothing that is proven like Fotona. From toenail hair removal to toenail fungus removal, a couple quick treatments will have a patient's problem gone," said Dr. Richard Wittock, providing superior podiatric care in areas such as toenail fungus, plantar fasciitis and orthotics in St. Louis.

With traditional approaches to treating toenail fungus being so disagreeable, or limited in their effectiveness, the Ankle and Foot Institute of St. Louis, MO, is excited to now offer a more effective treatment for patient's toenail fungus problems with the Fotona laser.
