Dr. Kelly L. Geoghan Is Pleased To Announce That The PinPointe FootLaser, That Clears Nail Fungus In 30 Minutes, Is Now Available At Her Lutherville, Maryland Office

Lutherville, MD (PRWEB) April 22, 2013

Dr. Kelly L. Geoghan, a Lutherville, Maryland Podiatrist, is pleased to announce the availability of the Advanced PinPointe FootLaser Treatment. The new laser will clear nail fungus in 30 minutes.

"For those suffering the pain and embarrassment of unsightly nail fungus, PinPointe FootLaser is the easy and convenient treatment that helps turn discolored and disfigured nails into clearer, healthier looking nails," says Dr. Geoghan. "Nail infections can make it difficult to wear shoes and can interfere with walking, exercise, sports and other physical activities. Women and men with nail fungus are reluctant to wear open-toed shoes in summer or on vacation because they are embarrassed by the unsightly discoloration and unhealthy appearance of infected toenails."

The PinPointe FootLaser offers a painless, convenient and easy way to have healthy-looking and -feeling feet. Here's what the PinPointe Laser brings to Dr. Geoghan's patients:

In-Office Pain-Free Treatment

Safe and effective, this in-office treatment is pain-free, has no harmful side effects, and typically takes only about 30-minutes to complete.

Nail fungus is a chronic condition, Dr. Geoghan says, and for those patients with diabetes or immune disorders, it could become a serious health problem. The root cause, which is an infection, is difficult to address with topical treatments because it invades under and inside the nail, which is why so many patients are choosing the laser treatment.

The Science behind the FootLaser

The PinPointe FootLaser kills fungus that lives in and under the nail by directing a laser light through the nail without causing damage to the nail or the surrounding skin. When the toenail grows out, it will become clear, says Dr. Geoghan.

The Process of Healing Toe Nail Fungal Infections

The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Geoghan, who will explain the procedure and will advise patients of follow-up visits that may be required. There is no pain with this procedure. Some have reported a "warming" sensation or a feeling of a slight pin prick. The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes with no "recovery" period.

"Patients are advised to remove all polish and decoration from the toes before treatment," Dr. Geoghan said. "The infection will improve after one treatment, however visible results will be observed after the nail has grown in to replace the infected nail."

Vancouver Skin Care Clinic Successfully Clears Pigmentation in Skin of Colour

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) May 23, 2013

Traditionally, laser skin therapy has been used to clear the brown patches, but on skins of colour, this can be tricky. Based on the Fitzpatrick Skin Types standard, only skin types 1-1V may be treated safely with most lasers. Darker skins, who are often prone to pigmentation and skin discoloration issues, have been left without recourse. Those who would most benefit from treatment have been unable to clear their skin successfully.

Hyperpigmentation occurs when there is an excess production of melanin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for our hair, eye and skin colour and is produced by melanocytes in the epidermis. With age or excessive sun exposure, melanin is no longer distributed evenly; resulting in uneven patches on the skin whereas melasma occurs at a deeper layer of the skin and can be caused by hormonal fluctuations due to pregnancy, menopause or oral contraceptives.

Beautiful Canadian Laser and Skin Care Clinic has become known as a centre of excellence for skin of colour, based on strategies developed by Dr. Shah. At Beautiful Canadian Laser and Skin Care Clinic, treatments for solar lentigines, freckles, sun spots, seborrheic keratosis, liver spots, age spots and melasma are available.

Dr. Shah has treated patients in the past who experienced skin damage at other clinics from lasers that were not intended for darker skins. Dr Shah made it his priority to offer multiple machines with a choice of wavelengths so that all patients could be treated with efficacy and safety. Dr Shah employs singular or combination strategies that are unique to the needs of the patient, including: laser treatments (with multiple choice of wavelengths, particularly important in treating darker skin tones), skin resurfacing, chemical peels, medical grade cosmeceuticals, and prescription medication. Careful consideration is given to the individual to devise a treatment plan that delivers results.
