Currently there are 3 different companies providing laser devices for the treatment of toenail fungal infection they are as follows
- Pinpointe
- Noveon
- Coolbreeze
Each one of these devices has several factors which you should evaluate
- Cost
- Proven Effectiveness
- Safety in Clinical Trials
- Treatment protocol
- Availability
Only one device, the Pinpointe, is FDA approved. FDA approval means its gone through the FDA process. Does this mean the others are not effective? Well legally they are not allowed to promote the effectiveness.
The cost of the CoolBreeze and the Noveon are far lower, FDA approval is expensive and the abillity to advertise gives Pinpointe an advantage.
The Pinpointe touts a 1 treatment rate, this is from many patients experience simply not realistic. And many patients require follow up
The best way to get all the information on laser toenail treatments is to ask a treating physician at a local Laser Nail Center
