PinPointe FAQ's

Q:  How does the PinPointe FootLaser work?
A:  The PinPointe FootLaser kills fungus that lives in and under the nail. The laser light passes through
the nail without causing damage to the nail or the surrounding skin. At the time of the procedure, the
toenail will not become instantly clear— it takes time to grow out.

Q:  What can I expect in the provider’s office?
A:  The process begins with a consultation in which your provider, who will explain the procedure that is
to be performed and any follow-up visits that may be required.

pinprick.
